I spent "The Rapture" watching them beachside at the Hangout Music Festival. They finished the set with this song, and the heavens alligned. So if this is pergitory, chain me to the wall.
I once saw this documentary of the White Stripes on their Canadian tour, and I remember this part where Jack White talked about always challenging himself when he played live. I love how the Avetts do that. Sure, hiring a percussionist would have been easier, but they'd rather smack the banjo and stomp the floor. I love it. Music, live or in studio, should be organic like that imho.
I saw them in Cary this summer and I just got tickets for the Holloween night Greensboro show. I'm SO stoked! They became my new favorite band as soon as they started playing the first song of the night (Shame). I can't get enough Avett. These guys are just geniune folks with gobs of talent and appeal who write songs about real life stuff that actually matters. It's great to see them making it in a musical culture that has become so shallow, uncreative, and meaningless.
The second verse is my favorite, "Well, I have got a sister, and she has got a baby with brand new eyes, and her daddy is an engineer, and they just took her to the beach for the first time."
My band and I do a cover of this song, and that verse is my favorite, too. My sister is having a baby in a few months, so whenever I sing it I there's a lot of real emotion in it.
These guys are so dang awesome! They put on a great show in Knoxville last Saturday night. If you don't get excited at one of their shows you don't have a pulse. Thanks for sharing this video on youtube.

There was a huge crowd to see TAB's. It was the first time I have ever had to stand up in order to see the opening act.
