Band Of Horses - Ode To LRC

[818LAL]

The luck that he gives to the guy, is one of those" wtf " type of luck ahaha

[ChadwickRyan]

Well, usually if I need to tune my guitar and I'm using a capo... I take the capo off, then put it back on after it's tuned... maybe that would have helped, lol.

[CJamesharp]

It's also why he stops playing half way through the song.

[whitelabel22]

This song is one of the best records i have ever heard AWESOME

[timqmills]

I do not believe he is looking at the bass player. I think he is looking at a member of the crew off to the side of the stage. He tunes his own guitar in between verses and choruses, making me assume that the tech screwed up the original tuning.

[backman412]

yeah you can see hiim tuning it before "I see everyone before me" so obivously he was looking at his tech because his guitar wasn't in tune lol.

[KidPlaid]

I love that look. Makes me glad I'm not in a band right now, it's the, "You're out of tune, asshole, and you're ruining the song for everyone," look.

-B.

[AvrenFC]

What guitar is Ben Bridwell (lead singer) playing? It looks like a Gibson Les Paul Standard, but the headstock design is different. Anyone know?

[wanstrsw]

It's a les paul custom

[daveco1270]

why does he keep looking over toward the bass player like he's messing it up?

[novan08]

out of tune i think

[Defdave87]

one string is out of tune.

[Globe85]

I bet u have a world wide audience ?

[AvaBrock]

I never thought I would love a song that contains, "Lah Dee Dah". This band is GREAT!!!

[lapetitebaobab]

one of my favorite songs by BOH, and this is an awesome performance, thanx for sharing !!

[Hatshepsutoma]

Owh......Anyway,they were very cute!!!!! =)))

[annaciara23]

Great song!

[PhillyFlyers8]

i finally get why the tune before every single song. there's three guitarists (now that tyler ramsey's permanent) so one slightly off guitar screws it all up

[oeddawg]

Yeah, I think Ben was acknowledging that in this performance. It definitely happens with more members.

[oscarblue]

i think that the song is one of those songs that just puts you in a great place in your own thought kinda like "funeral" that one is my fav but i pretty much enjoy all there tunes great band

[chairlover721]

This song puts me in the best mood. Love it.

[autumngold1]

haha poor ben.

it was still absolutely AMAZING. =)

[robbo729]

god damn I love band of horses...

[movieme65]

definately my favorite band of horses song <3

[howdycaptain63]

i think one of the bass strings is off...

[WhyZedthe125]

wonderful

[ReflexRich]

Hey johnielsen08, you're right. That's why he starts re-tuning his guitar. Previously I had stopped watching before that point. Great band. My favourite song of theirs is probably this one and Weed Party.

[1badass04z]

i go to the barn is probably my fave...but new album is epic!

[mike3571]

They have a new album? Or do you just mean the one this one is on?

[1badass04z]

i meant this one i think..yes this one...

[MorgenBum]

he looks amish with that beard

[ReflexRich]

This is one of my favourite bands but someone is out of tune here and it sounds off. I think it's the second guitarist and by the looks that Bridwell keeps giving him I'd say he thinks so too. :) Top song though and what a beard!

[johnielsen08]

Maybe Ben thought it was his guitar and that's why he stopped playing for a while.

[hercopulus2]

this guys are f* awesome

[911WasAnInsideJober]

you know if its a good band when their live sounds just like there CD quality. BOH is dead on. very talented

[Freakyello]

you know if its a good band when their live sound better than cd. this is what they do!!!

[Tim31210]

It's about a BBQ joint near Sumter... Little Rib Shack; that's copywrighted now, so don't bogart it. In all nonseriousness at the foot of Pike's Peak, a campground has the same rooming accomadations mention in thgis song.

[puffalobill]

best song on the album i.m.o.

[tantan0894]

What is LRC?

[zeabee2]

Sorry - found it below!

[koridatz]

Actually, LRC stands for Little Red Caboose, which is a train car that's been turned into a getaway resort in the state of Washington. Ben stayed there and wrote the song based on the "logbook" at the LRC, which I also mistook as "lobby" when I first listened to the song...So the logbook had stories about a dog who kept showing up for food but stopped showing up in 1993, etc...I thought it was about the library as well, until Ben set me straight at a show...

[Mengine]

lol, so pissed :P

[hoodinijames]

haha. He is so pissed off at the start cos one of the guitars is massively out of tune. check his face. (1:02)

[mhsoccerblondie]

Haha yeah definitely

[docktora2626]

Actually, I'm pretty sure he's singing "If the world's such a wonderful place"

[koridatz]

what does it mean LRC?

[lexaflexa]

This is my favorite song on Cease to Begin. Actually, this is my favorite song, period. I can listen to it over and over and over and over and love it more each time.

[queenban]

BOH are seriously talented. I would love to hear a duet with Colin Mely. The US have got sope prett hot talent around at the moment. Despite the fact that most, if not all of it, receives very little airtime. All the better for me!

[bandofhorses4]

How big are these guys in america i going to see them next month in sheffield

[hiimmyles]

the guitar is not out of tune you dumbass, it sounds bad on film, if you haven't noticed there an indie band, there not in drop d it sounds like that purposely.

[jorgesgorges]

actually, something IS out of tune. and it's in the low frequencies, so it's most likely ONE of the strings on the bass I think. Bad pitch has nothing to do with what media the recording is on, whether it's video, film, cd, lp or just live. And since when does being an "indie" band (whatever that means) mean it's ok to be out of tune? Bad tuning sounds horrible whether you play in Band of Horses or the Celine Dion band. Even Sonic Youth took care to sound collectively "in tune"

[trabalski86]

he's tuning his guitar with capo on...:P

[juanchoLopez]

"The World is Such a Wonderful Place" I fucking love it.

[MajestySnowbird]

Guitar out of tuuuune.

[leloby]

Mack Strong was a very accomplished player, one of the best.

Anyway, I am intrigued by the Rhodes sound here. I feel it is pivotal to the melancholic nature of the track but it always seems to get swamped in a live set. Its a delicate, warm sound that should be given sound space in the mix. On occasion I am at pains to recognise it at all.

[koneill]

speechless....;)

[Frenger78]

i hope you're right dnmcfall-BOH is definitely rockin my face off though

[dnmcfall]

this is my favorite from cease to begin---

are we back in the 60's, early 70's?...we're in a renaissance of great music now!

[MajestySnowbird]

Accept that anything you hear on the radio (regularly) is utter, terrible, crap.

[GoatRooster]

LOL, yeah preety much.

[Wilco362]

Beautiful, Indeed.

I've just gotten into them, and this song and video just takes my breath away.

[salameman]

fuckin beautiful

[Bigtime1998]

Man, this is an incredible song, I only wish it was about 20 minutes long!!!

[DJTeazeOne]

saw the band on jools show in london called later.bring us more.

[MorgothMothman]

Aw, you should've seen 'em at the Bush Hall a couple of months back - just sublime.

[kflorence]

not only do they rock, but they dedicated this song to mack strong. YOU GUYS ROCK! :)
