August 21st, 2010 at House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, SC

Full setlist, videos, and pictures: https://db.nov.blue/shows/951

One of many exciting moments at Avett Brothers shows is the anticipation of what Seth is going to play for the interlude on “Pretty Girl from Annapolis” after the line "My dear brother’s ragged six-string ". I think Annapolis should get played a few times every tour just for the interlude, but sadly has only been played 4 times since 2019. On this day in 2010 at Myrtle Beach, Seth played the Bob Marley song “Is This Love?.

“Die Then Grow” was another highlight of this show.

October 15th, 2013 The Avett Brothers released Magpie and the Dandelion. This collection of songs was recorded at the same time as the songs that became The Carpenter.

“We realized, well, this magpie is in this song, and then there’s a reference to a dandelion in another one, and we realized the differences in the fragility, the softness, the intent of spreading a seed that a dandelion has versus this sort of abrasive and annoying thing that a magpie has.” - Scott

Scott wrote the song with Magpie in it, “Morning Song, and Seth wrote the song with Dandelion in it, “Bring Your Love to Me”.

Let’s look at a few arrangements of songs that didn’t stick around. For today, we are gonna listen to “Late in Life”, “In the Curve”, and “Sanguine”.

Late in Life

“Late in Life” has been played live 118 times. It was recorded during the I and Love and You sessions, but was left off the album. The last time it was played live was on September 8, 2019, at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, OH, and it was the only time they’ve played this arrangement.

I think they've brought this song back to life with this arrangement, and maybe we'll finally get to hear it on an album. But, hasn’t been. played again, maybe because of the pandemic, and they just forgot about it, maybe they still just aren’t fully in on this song, yet. I dig it and hope it comes back

In the Curve

November 16th, 2016, at Akron Civic Theater in Akron, OH, the show kicked off with a surprise, “In the Curve” with the full band was played. This is the only time “In the Curve” has been played with Scott on banjo, Seth on acoustic guitar, Bob on upright bass, Joe on cello, Tania on fiddle, Paul on piano, and Mike on drums. I like it, it is so good, but let’s not be crazy, it shouldn’t replace the Seth solo version.

Sanugine

May 12th, 2016, at Stage AE in Pittsburgh, PA, with Scott on banjo & harmonica, Seth on acoustic guitar, Bob on electric guitar, Joe on cello, Tania on fiddle, Paul on piano, and Mike on drums, they play “Sanguine”. They would play this version again on May 14th at the Mann Center for Performing Arts in Philadelphia, PA, and on May 15th at EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, VA.

Maybe it’s Scott’s harmonica, and Paul’s Rhodes piano, and groove, but I like this version better than the Scott and Seth solo version. I know most won’t agree with me, but I said what I said. They should bring this back, a while I'm at it, bring back the electric “The Greatest Sum”.

August 8th, 2009, at Bojangles Coliseum in CharlotteNC,

Live Vol. 3 was recorded on this day.

“It’s all about family, I don’t care where you’re from, you’re part of the family, and you’re part of the story” “If there is anything that is left after we’re gone, it will be the music, and that’s important cause it made a difference in that girl’s life or that guy’s life. That is the point”. - Jim Avett

Full Setlist: https://db.nov.blue/shows/843

A lot of big moments at this show. Part of this show at Bojangles Coliseum would become Live Vol. 3 CD/DVD. This show would be the beginning of them writing out a full setlist before the show. It was the live debut of “Slight Figure of Speech”, which got off to a rough start with Scott’s guitar having problems. Scott used that guitar to honor a friend’s dad, who recently passed away, so they halted the song just to get the guitar right, so Scott could use it.

This would also be Mike Marsh’s first time playing with the Avett Brothers. Mike played drums on “Talk on Indolence”, “Colorshow”, “I and Love and You”, “HFOD/RFOP”, and “The Perfect Space”.

This was the second time “Spell of Ambition” was played, but the first time it was played with the full band. First played on March 20th, 2014, at the Savannah Music Festival in Savannah, GA, with just Scott on banjo and Seth on acoustic guitar.

“Just to have the room’s attention and tell my story. And let them sort the sadness out for me”, is a line that has always summed up a large part of Seth’s songwriting.

“Spell of Ambition” really started to come together in 2015. One of my favorite versions is from February 28th, 2015, in Dallas.

March 20th, 2014

Back in the 70’s, Jim Avett wrote a bunch of songs. The Avett Brothers included one of those songs on Mignonette. They often played “Signs” over the years, but on this particular show, they broke out another one of their Dad’s songs from that time, “Autumn Leaves”.

Jim has a new CD available: Movin’ On
