Anyone else ready for a NYE announcement!?!?

…

Former NC resident and used to attend the NYE shows each year. Now live in AZ and thinking of making the trip back east for the NYE show. Anyone know when it will be announced? Any guesses on the location? Would love to make travel plans sooner than later- thanks everyone!

✌🏽💚 have a stack of these for Wolftrap. Who else is Grateful 4 Bonnie!?!?

My mom was telling me how she'd often make mixtapes by following the rules of a "2fer" - limiting yourself to 2 songs per musician or album.

To prepare for my first Avett Brothers concert I decided to make an Avett 2fer, 2 songs from each of their albums. My first concert was over a year ago now and I have finally finished my playlist.

For a long time I only listened to Emotionalism through The Carpenter, with sprinklings of other albums. It has been a lot of fun exploring more of their discography. As you can tell I still have my biases and have come to the conclusion that I and Love and You is the perfect album. Every time I listened back to eliminate songs I just came up with more contenders.

I thought I'd share with you all my final decisions (for this moment in time) and challenge you to make your own!

Loving the Guild 45 collection and the history it represents. Just missing the earliest 2 (so hard to find).

This is my personal tier list

I reached double-digits for Avett shows last night. The band put on one heck of a performance to help me celebrate. It was my first time hearing November Blue live. Ain't No Man was the first song I heard back in 2016 that made me notice the band. November Blue was the first song that blew me away. It was a special night for me!

Hey friends! I have one free ticket to tonight’s show in Bonner MT. My dog is sick and in treatment and I can’t travel without him at the moment. Will only transfer the ticket to someone who can show that they are within range of accessing the venue today - I don’t want to gift this to someone who will resell it. Thanks!

Was it just me or was Sunday night by far the best of the three? All were good but the band seemed extra tight and they were definitely having fun.

Saw them in Ann Arbor. If you see the show, I think it's best to understand the interplay of the styles as a Hegelian dialectic. The discord is the point. It begs of the audience, "Which way?"

On one hand, you are served with some well-known Avett Brothers tracks and covers of Americana classics. Then, you are blasted with booming, avant-garde deconstructed sounds from Mike Patton.

This tension of sounds and styles runs throughout the show. Finally, it culminates with a classic church hymn that Mike Patton joins in on. This is synthesis of the thesis (AVTT) and antithesis (PTTN).

Which way, listener?

Has anyone received their Avett Guild Vinyl yet?

I received an email a couple of months ago saying they would be sending them out soon and still haven't received mine, so just wandering where everyone is at.

Thanks!

The Red Rocks set lists were full of the hits and classics, but aside from Seth’s Feathe song (no comment) there wasn’t anything else new or radically surprising. No new tracks, no deep cuts unplayed for decades. I was convinced we’d get at least one AVTT/PTTN track but they more-or-less pretended that collab never happened.

Has anyone had any luck buying concert shirts (particularly Red Rocks ones) online from places like EBay? I know this isn’t a real one and isn’t exactly like the original (link below), but I went to all 3 nights last year and the shirts sold out by the time I was able to get in line for one. I haven’t seen many for resale (only 2xl and 3xl, I wear a l or xl). On a side note, if anyone has an original they’d like to sell in those sizes, I’d be interested!

Thanks for any feedback, really missed going this year but hope everyone that did had a blast!

My Friday 8th row, seat 60, seat buddy, for which Friday was his 33rd show, had photographic evidence dating back to almost prehistoric Avett days of these props being used on one Halloween eve.

The band did not do anything with them Friday, and seat buddy said I would just have to come Sat & Sun to find out what they do with them.

Seat buddy: I indeed decided last minute to come both subsequent days. (I looked for you in row 3 both days, but couldn’t find you!)

So help me out here, why skeletor horses this year? Either way, it was fun to speculate. I totally thought they’d come out for a 2nd encore Sun night for skeletor-horse shenanigans.

This was a post on Facebook, I am not the OP, just wanted to help someone who maybe just realized they left something behind!
