It closes pretty much every show now.

It's a good main set closer, but not the most uplifting way to officially end a show. But damn if it isn't a masterpiece and performed beautifully every effin' time. If this song doesn't speak to you, then you haven't lived enough yet.

Give me Laundry Room as a closer.

Currently my favorite Avetts tune...their vocal harmonies and, well, everything else. This is one of my favorite versions:

It closed the show I went to a few week ago but I agree, as if we went with Scrocks, we'd be leaving with a weeping guy in our party.

True Sadness
Satan Pulls the Strings
Morning Song
Salina
You Are Mine
Ain't No Man
Trouble Letting Go
Paranoia in B-Flat Major
At the Beach
Neapolitan Sky
Talk on Indolence

Murder in the City
I Wish I Was

I and Love and You

Encore:
Black Mountain Rag
Laundry Room
Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise

Head Full of Doubt is a great closer...both main and encore. Amazing song. It's weird in the middle of set because it's so hard to follow.

Cannot wait for Red Rocks!

We're going to try for next year...where do you stay while you're there?

I know it's not the same, but I was so psyched when they were playing two dates at Wolf Trap and nearly plotzed when they added the third date. So excited for a triple.

I like Laundry Room or Head Full of Doubt as an opener. Either of those, second to only, Go to Sleep, as best openers.

Just got my tickets to the 6/7 CMAC show, box seats with VIP/Valet parking! Can't wait!!

[Beefsteak1138]

Jammed out to True Sadness driving home from C'ville yesterday. Best band.

[grilldanmo]

Thursday is N1 of three at Wolf Trap. These will be our first concerts of the year...can not wait. Took off Friday to maximize enjoyment. So amazing. Still my current favorite band.

Waiting to find out if At The Beach is doable this year, if not we'll do NYE again.

The sound there is fantastic. Should be a great show.

[scrock25]

Saw them there the last time they were here - CMAC is just a great venue, can't say enough nice things about it. I've seen them, Counting Crows/Augustana, D&T there and haven't had a bad experience.

[Ascf33]

I saw a community college graduation and Weezer

[scrock25]

Oh man, Weezer... sounds dope.

[Ascf33]

we were in town visiting my wife's family and had a free night and nothing going on so we just said fuck it, lets go sit on the lawn and see Weezer for $10

[Nitronick]

45 days until Red Rocks night 1!!

[grilldanmo]

Night one at Wolf Trap was great. There was a scheduling issue with our 15 yr-old, so my wife stayed home to attend his event and I took our eight yr-old to the show. Missed most of Paleface, but Rodney Crowell was playing trio style (he on vocals and rhythm acoustic, the lead guitarist on acoustic, and a fiddle/mandolin player). When he opened for them on NYE it was a full electric band and they were great. This trio format was stellar. I heard and randomly listened to Crowell here and there over the years, but these last two performances have me fully on the hook...I'm a fan.

The Avetts were their awesome selves again. Great set, with the three obligatory tunes that they play most shows...Head Full, Ain't No Man, and No Hard Feelings as the now staple closer. So much energy and rarely a wasted moment on stage. Finish a song and go directly into another. No featured solo tunes (e.g.: when they do Love & Hate, it's Seth solo or Murder in the City is just Scott), but a mini original trio set. Just so good, so much positive energy...even after the trio did divorce separation blues with some jokes about the topic ("many of you don't how bad it can be...yet").

Jealous of the travel opp and locale for Red Rocks, but getting a three show run @ Wolf Trap is happiness cubed.

[Ascf33]

see ya'll in Greensboro

Used to love Avetts. Seen them at Red Rocks 5 times. The first 2 were unreal. The last 3, during 3 separate years were all bad. They really cater their setlists to hard core fans. I own 4 of their albums and knew about 3-4 songs on any given night. They just played what I would consider their worst material and played it ear piercingly loud. I am no longer a fan .

First off, lol.

Secondly, this is true, and what makes them awesome. Any of their home or "special shows" are all old tunes.

[scrock25]

CMAC, two weeks, yay!

Sheena and I are taking Dominic, this is going to be his 1st concert.

[Beefsteak1138]

I hope they play No Hard Feelings so your son can see you blubbering like a giant vagina.

They will definitely play that song. Can we get Sheena to video?

[scrock25]

Based on what I'm reading/seeing on setlists it's pretty much a no-doubter

[scrock25]

Good to see Lee jerkin' his bone over here again

[Lee3691]

If I was jerkin' my bone, that would be ok.
