going Friday....looking for a ticket to Saturday's show. maybe in the lot?

7/23/2009 8:19:56 AM

bttt because I still need a ticket for Saturday night, yo.

hit me up.

7/23/2009 2:50:44 PM

bttt, how was the show?

7/29/2009 11:09:17 AM

I thought it went well, for the most part. I think I really got spoiled the last time I saw them because it was at Koka Booth, where they played for 2 and a half hours for 7000 people. But at HOB, they played for about an hour and a half and played from a pretty good mix of their albums. The crowd was great when it was songs they knew, but did talk a lot during the slower/less recognizable ones. When Seth played/sang Black, Blue, you couldn't even hear the words because of everyone talking. But the people around me were very respectable and didnt talk during the slow ones. One guy behind me even asked for advice on a few albums to buy since he had never heard of them before.

The one thing I was really bummed about was the encore. As I said, the crowd was getting into it, so I expected a really awesome encore. However, they came out and played one song, and it Perfect Space, which isn't a hugely popular song. So basically nobody knew the words and we were waiting on a second song of something very familiar like Die, Die, Die (which they didn't play). But then they just ended, which was kind of a disappointment.

However, any Avett Brothers show is a good one, at least in my experience. Now I really want to go to the one in Charlotte, except for the assigned seating crap.

Anyway, I found the Set List from Friday night. Here it is, if you were wondering:

not a bad set. seems a little on the slow side and I can totally see some of the examples where casual fans wouldnt be familiar with the songs.

7/29/2009 1:55:34 PM

not to hijack the thread, but anyone going to the Charlotte show on the 8th?

7/29/2009 1:59:16 PM

I think I'm going to pass on it. I really want to because I think you will be able to get an advance release of their album at that show only. But i'm not thrilled about seeing them at Bojangles Arena.

7/29/2009 4:12:27 PM

They canceled the advance release, actually. As a consolation, everyone in attendance will get a five track live EP and a poster or something.

7/29/2009 4:24:45 PM

ah yeah, i think you're right. I think I read that in an e-mail earlier this week.

yeah i'm probably not gonna go.

7/29/2009 5:13:19 PM

I think they did play Die, Die, Die the second night.

I liked the setlist better Friday, but the encore was better Saturday. It was weird because the encore from the first night was the second song played on Saturday. strange. They also repeated about 5 songs between the two nights.

Two good shows though, IMO.

Saturday's setlist:

At The Beach
The Perfect Space
The Fall
Left on Laura, Left on Lisa
PGf Matthews
Shame
Die Die Die
Dream Appointed
Will You Return
Old Joe Clark
Swept Away
How I Got To Memphis
Bella Donna
Kick Drum Heart

PGf Chile

Wow, that actually makes me even more happy that I went on Friday and not Saturday. Besides the encore, of course.

7/29/2009 6:07:28 PM

Anybody have any recordings of this show?

I'm really interested in hearing how they did "Old Joe Clark." And no offense to any of their fans here, but I bet the banjo solo on that was horrific...

7/29/2009 6:27:47 PM

i'll keep checking in on their message board. There are a few users there that will post live cuts from the shows.

7/29/2009 7:39:13 PM

Did anyone end up going to the Charlotte show? I just couldn't get myself hyped to see them in that setting..so i passed. Hope it was good though.

man that's a pretty awesome set list right there. I bet swept away with Bonnie was awesome.


i know they said this was their "only 09 charlotte show" but they say that every summer. Did they give any hints to another NYE downtown show at all?

[Edited on August 10, 2009 at 11:32 AM. Reason : add]

8/10/2009 11:31:36 AM

Bonnie's mic was turned up way too high at the start of Swept Away, and she sounded kinda rattled after that.

They didn't give any indication of a NYE show that I remember.

You can listen to the entire new album legally, online, and for free.

yeah I know it's been out for a while, but this is free and much easier to access.

pretty good. can't wait for my box set to arrive.

9/23/2009 8:18:44 AM

I like the new CD ok, but there is a lot of piano.

seems like the only string songs are the slow ones
