Avett is going to be in Pittsburgh this Sunday. I wasn't planning on going because of 'Roo, but when I saw it conflicted with TbT I bought a ticket...which will also free me up to catch a little of Fitz's set, unless I get sucked into the first 45 minutes of Avett which is completely possible. Argh FIRST WORLD WHITE PEOPLE FESTIVAL PROBLEMS

I know right. Having to choose between TbT and Avetts is like having to pick which yacht I want to take to the Bahamas. Life is rough
I think this video has been linked to in this thread, but it is now able to be embedded (and definitely deserves it):
They've also been playing it live! Man... Avetts and Feist vs. Trampled by Turtles. Who to see, who to see. If I miss TbT at Bonnaroo, I am definitely going to go to All Good.

If you miss them on Friday, at least check them out on the smaller stage on Sat. They have a good # of great covers and usually pick about 2-3 to do during their set.
Spoiler alert below
Expect Levon Helm's The Weight & Pixies' Where is my Mind too. They have covered everything from those 2 listed + AF to Led Zep, Bob Dylan, and Nirvana so they could pull out anything really.

So nobodys giving it up for this awesome ass set?
I went into Roo torn between this and Fitz because I'd seen neither live, and heard great things about both of em live. I know, I know, everybody else was all about the Avetts vs. whoever conflicts, but honestly i could take em or leave em.
So my friends have been trying to push TBT on me for a while and while I really dug 'Wait So Long', the rest of their stuff just wasnt hitting me that hard. But the day came, stuff happened, and it turned out I would miss the beginning of Fitz's set anyways. So rather than trying to catch just some of both sets, I went on over to the Other tent and settled in to give these guys my undivided attention.
And wow. Thats all I can say. If you're on the fence about this band like I was, a live show is all its gonna take. These guys absolutely smoked it. I am officially on their bandwagon now. And before the show was even over I knew there was no damn way I was missing their set on the sonic stage the next day either, which also didnt disappoint. Though to me, the energy level was even higher at the Other tent show....but thats just nit-picking.
Just suprised I'm the only one on here saying this. But I guess most everybody else went with the Avetts/Feist/whatever. All I can say is I hope those shows went well for you....because if they didnt you really missed a good'un at the other tent this sunny afternoon.
The show at The Other Tent was amazing - they worked they're assses off. Great cover of Arcade Fire's Rebellion and they had the sense to cover The Weight on Sonic. One of the top bands I saw this weekend and one of my favorite bands of the last ten years.
We were at the Avetts but went to the show on the Sonic Stage. We were pretty close to the stage and it was great. I took a ton of pics and some small clips of video.
We then got in line to meet them and got a tshirt and vinyl of the new album signed. Took some pics there too. I told Dave how he and my brother look so much alike and he laughed and said how he feels sorry for my brother then.
It was a great show though but I wish there had been a way to see the other show as well.
got a print and got it signed after the sonic stage set! both sets were amazing! Hoping to see them either at rockygrass or in boulder next month. love TBT! Here are some of the vids I got from the shows:
I really need to get a new camera. The audio gets really blown out on the louder / bassier songs... any suggestions?
Though to me, the energy level was even higher at the Other tent show....but thats just nit-picking.
I agree. I thought the show at the other tent was better than the Sonic show. The weight cover at the end was totally badass though.
Gotta say though. I've never seen any Sonic stage shows before this year and I'm a fan. I caught the Punch Brothers set there too and it was fantastic!
The only thing that sucks is how regimented those shows are. They don't have any time to set up and make sure the sound is right, but I guess that's just part of the experience.
