Playing "Detlef Schrempf" and "Compliments" before ending the evening.Band of Horses continue their acoustic tour along the East Coast before winding back in Nashville, Tennessee to play the Ryman Auditorium, where they recorded their most recent live release, Acoustic at the Ryman, available to stream in its entirety.
