I got to see them in Duluth in 07, I hadn't even heard of them before I saw them take the stage. They've been kicking ass for quite a while, can't wait to see them on the farm!

That's where I live. Where did you see them? Pizza Luce or something? They're small setting shows were pretty amazing so that's cool that you caught that. They used to play basements at bar close for like 200 bucks and free booze back then. Good times.
The new album is pretty amazing. I'm hoping to see them on Tuesday at First Ave before catching my flight to LAX for Coachella. Not sure if it will works out though.
Has anyone else given their new album, Stars and Satellites, that came out today a listen yet? I really am enjoying it. They really slowed it down on this album but it's really working for me. Haunting is the word that sticks out for me. It's really just a beautiful album.
Going to the All Good festival this year too, so if I don't catch them here I will there. They are quite good from what I've heard. I would like to see them twice though, I hope they get put on the thursday schedule. I could see me missing them if it was an early Friday set. That Bonnaroo sun is ROUGH! If there is no conflict with them on Friday I will still try my best.
I love this band. I really do. But they are playing with The Walkmen in my hometown at Waterfront Park for free like 3 weeks after Roo, so I'll probably be missing them at Roo for something else.

Getting into a band like TbT is the reason why I am active in the festival scene as seeing them on the lineup got me into them. June can't get here soon enough.
Seeing them on the Sonic the next day will be cool
I'm not sure what to do yet. I'm more excited to see TBT, than Avett Brothers. I wanted to see both though. I really want to see the longer set on the larger stage. I'm thinking about doing both TBT shows, and just checking out the first 40 minutes of Avett Brothers.

TBT has been touring a lot lately so you'll more than likely see them somewhere close to you. I would catch their Sonic stage show no matter what with the intimate setting and all.
I am going to let the heat/sun decide where I end up for the conflict. If I can't handle the rays bouncing off me I will duck into the tent and see TBT, otherwise I am going to Avett Bros since I have seen TBT play twice this year already and will see them 3 more times before the year is over.
Unfortunately I'm living in the middle of nowhere right now. The closest show to me is Boulder, and that's about a 3 hour drive... so I wasn't planning on going because I'm going to see them at Roo...

TBT vs. The Avett Brothers is my worst conflict by far--and I suspect that the same is true for lots of people. Really surprised that they let this happen, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.
I've never seen TBT, but I simply like the Avett Brothers more, so that's the way I'm leaning. Luckily TBT is playing about 90 minutes from me in late June, so I'll just catch them then. Plus there's the Sonic stage show the next day anyway.

Last two times Avett Brothers have been at Bonnaroo it has been vs. Mumford & Sons and vs. Trampled by Turtles... Bonnaroo must have some sort of grudge against fans of the Avett Brothers
Grr. The Avetts are playing Minneapolis in July, so I may have to skip them to see TBT. Or maybe their Sonic set will be good? HELP.
TBT will be opening for My Morning Jacket and Band of Horses in Somerset which is less than an hour from you. I am sure they will add a First Ave show within the year too. I rather see Avett Brothers at the Block Party than Bonnaroo's outdoor heat. I wouldn't miss the Sonic stage set on Saturday for anything. Get up close and get wild for 30 minutes.
This conflict is killer too. The top two people I wanted to see. Ugh!
I really, really want to see TbT as I never have but the Avetts are my absolute favorites right now. Even though we've just seen them twice back to back I HAVE to see them at Roo. We'll definitely be at the Sonic Stage for TbT though and hopefully be able to see them elsewhere sometime.
