Great show. What a warm, fun, feel good band - the venue was pretty cool too (although i wish there was at least one place open around there to eat at midnight!)

great show -- really great live band -- nice enthusiasm -- wish the crowd wasn't so stiff - but i guess it was packed pretty tight --

Their beards rock.

cool show....not historical or anything though. just another buzz band to me. if they know what's good their next album will sound nothing like the sad dreamy rock they nailed until now. the place had a high school gym sorta feel...not bad. the whole drink ticket in the basement thing was crap though.

I enjoyed watching Bridwell kick that dudes DSLR camera.

Bloggers shoving fans out of the way to take 900 of the same picture deserve to have their toys broken.

To many people but I hope other bands play there because the space is really cool. And the show wasnt BOHs best, but it was very very good. Its about time more BKLYN venues existed someplace other than on the L line. It was def worth the trip.

LOL!

That kick was soooooo fake. That dude walked right up stuck the camera in his face, while he was playing the pedal steel. bridwell pushes his camera away with his foot, gently. dude makes a "what the fuck face?!?!" at the crowd and walks out. there were 2 dudes with video cameras perfectly positioned facing that exact spot. they caught the moment. OH WOW!!! Bridwell is so badass, i have to go to a BoH show to see him piss off the paparazzi! That's PR at work.

11:17am:

when did that happen? i know brad doesn't exactly like photographers so thats why i decided that standing right up front in the center after 3 songs wasn't the best idea. glad i moved.

@I call BS

Nope. Dude stayed and photographed the rest of the show.

There were video cameras on Bridwell while he was playing? What a crazy coincidence.

Hearing the singer go WOOOOOO! all night was priceless.

i liked the show, but holy lights up in their eyes, for the sake of st. valentine. he had to ask like 3 times to turn them down. who was in charge of that, kick his butt.

Really good show. I enjoyed the bowery Ballroom show last fall a bit more but i still had a good time seeing them at the Temple. Does anyone have a setlist? they played a bunch of songs and covers I didn't recognize?

And hell yeah to that Chicago cover at the end!

That song was fucking great; highlight of the night.

Lamb of the Lam was in there too.

Definitely played General Specific

This show was utterly brilliant. I have seen them four times over the last two years in NY. This by far was the best. Great room, AMAZING SET and AMAZING COVERS! The Temple is a cool room. I am so happy, now I never have to go to Manhattan again. Between Union Hall, Music Hall, Southpaw, and this...I'll just leave Manhattan to the rest of the tourists the way it's been since Guliani ensured it would be so.

I heart Dirty on Purpose so much!
