The Avett Brothers- Murder in the City (first time ever played live)

[mondosuper]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[suninthefall]

The one of the best songs up today, so much crap called "music" but this one is real diamond

[mstark7]

i love how this is when no one knew this song yet. And you hear yelling and laughing but when everyone hears that last line they cheer. Ive never heard anyone cheer to a lyric the first time ive heard it.

[wrstllax089]

who in their right mind would dislike this video?

[HeyCro]

Great version of this song. Thanks for posting. You might want to check out the article about it in the music blog Nightly Song

[BadMan51100]

Phenomenal.

[mrspandex3]

I just saw them in Ann Arbor. People didn't seem to get the idea of the song and started a clapping beat. Eventually, he just put down the guitar and did the entire song to just the claps. Never seen anything like it.

[achanook]

@mrspandex3 Unfortunately not all crowds are as respectful as this one was. I doubt you will ever see another Avett performance in which the crowd can keep quiet during a lighter song. Its too bad.

[1FastfingersMcgee1]

is he high in this video

[justingarman]

"Always remember there was nothing worth sharing, like the love that let us share our name..." GREATEST SONGWRITERS of the last decade!! I thank God everyday for the Avett Brothers!!!!!!

[Battousai3X]

They are laughing because that part is inteneded to be " they seemed to let thee other go" as in his brother got outta trouble. Even his brother smirks when he says that line in the official video :]

the rest are slurred" WOAHS and WOOS lawl

beautiful song

[iouaname673]

I feel like his voice was really beautiful and soft in the beginning and then got hella pissed and harsh as he went along. "Just remember there was NOTHING WORTH SHARING! like the love that let us, share our name"

[opiatetool41]

You know,I just found about the Avetts maybe 8 months ago.I'm 41 years old and I haven't been as moved by a band since I was 9 years old and my brother gave me Zeppelin III for my birthday.I don't want to sound overly dramatic but I believe Seth and Scott are the best songwriters since John and Paul.Truly brilliant.Can not wait to see them in St.Louis.

[brianwildemusic]

Agreed. They're a breath of fresh air in a very repetitive music scene.

[johnny991965]

@brianwildemusic Perfect comment Brian, they are class... :-)

[revpgesq]

@opiatetool41 i am a little older, and my bands are not the same as yours...more attracted to the punk aspects of the Avetts, but the love for their songwriting and what seems a merciful, human and spiritual intent is a shared matter for admiration? ...

[Libermjs]

Why are so many people laughing in the video. . . so confused.

[stevenr21]

are you serious?

[brianwildemusic]

Typically they open with this song and it takes a moment for the quite enthusiastic fans to settle into the vibe. Happens at every Avett show.

*Facepalm*

[almstfamushippie]

omg he is oh oh oh so gorgeous! i could watch him play guitar allll day long. this song is beautiful. this band is so heartfelt. chills.

[McCleanoldman]

These guys are amazing! this song, and If Its the Beaches are the best written/played tunes ever created.

[nphillips1982]

Shame is up there too.

[homgprdgn]

I heard this when I was driving, and I honesty started crying.

[xyourlines]

This my be my favorite song of all time. The last few lines bring tears to my eyes. Having 3 siblings, this song hits home. Beautiful.

[nmelosi]

Great Tune.

[darling434]

Seth avett dated my english teacher.

[achanook]

Did you want a cookie for that?

[Deadeye777]
