Avett Brothers - Acapella Murder in the City - Ann Arbor, Michigan 03.09.2010

Scott leads a giant acapella sing-a-long @ the Michigan Theatre when his Martin won't get in tune. Taken last night in Ann Arbor with Joshua in my arms.

I love the Avetts more than most, but I had to dislike this video. I have no interest in listening to the voice of the kid taping this and those in his immediate vicinity, which could grate on the calmest of souls. This is a set break that had no business being uploaded to the web.

PART 1 @TheFindingmary i find it hard to believe that you love the avetts more than most, because if you do, you most likely a) have been to a bunch of their live shows b) felt the synergy between the group and band that both feed off of c) indulge in the fact that they and we the audience are not polished nor perfect and d) let the love flow....

PART 2 @TheFindingmary ......an offshoot of the fact that LOVE is at the heart of all of their songs, from writing and composing.....practicing, putting out a cd, performing live and meeting with the fans afterward....if you want to discount the generality of what i was just espousing on and be specific, just the fact that its one of two know performances of an avett song acapella should be more than enough to just not press dislike, let alone, press like a bunch of times.

PART 3 @TheFindingmary sure, i may be partial cuz this is my vid and had my 3 1/2 year old in my arms the whole time during one of the avett brothers most family oriented songs, but.....mmmm....i don't think so...i would feel the same if someone else posted this great, once in a lifetime clip as well

Loved the version and that you shared it across the generations.

[michinspirado]

@rav0003 thank you so much, i feel the same

exact way!

LOVE it! I showed my mom (who has never really listened to the Avetts) and she says "wow- you know he's good when it sounds amazing acapella!"

word, mom...word.

@TheFindingmary The fuck? This is the most intimate crowd-artist relationship I've ever seen. I'm glad that this was uploaded. I'm sorry that no one can be the avetts.

[michinspirado]

@cThreep maybe the fact that i had my 3.5 yr old son in my arms at the time...singing along? :)

[michinspirado]

@marginwalker27 i can? dunno about that...i think i have some tab covers posted here that might say something to the contrary...but thx brother, appreciate the compliment :)

[marginwalker27]

Surprised, finally a camera-holder that can sing in tune. good job

[cThreep]

This gave me the chills, I dunno why.

@TheFindingmary Why are you getting so angry about it? I think this is awesome. It might not be up to the standards of things you've been fortunate enough to experience at their gigs but it's the little things, and to say it had no business being uploaded to the web is a bit extreme. I love that I found this, I'm surprised that someone who 'loves the avett brothers more than most' could find this offensive.
