Live: Volume 3

These guys are incredible live!
I thought this band's studio recordings were amazing, but seeing them live is a completely different story. The Avett Brothers are true performers -- they play with a certain charm, energy, and sincerity that I haven't quite seen in any other band. This DVD has now got me AMPED for their Georgia show with Old Crow in May.

This DVD seems to be a re-release of the one that came out in 2010. Not sure what the reason for this is, and I haven't watched the earlier edition, but this appears to be the same exact product.

Plenty of my favorites are found on this live DVD, such as "I and Love and You," "Talk on Indolence," "Colorshow," "Distraction #74," "Kick Drum Heart," "Swept Away," "When I Drink," and an old favorite, "I Killed Sally's Lover." There aren't many songs from Carolina Jubilee or Mignonette, though, which is slightly disappointing since their earlier albums contain some of my favorites. This was made before The Carpenter, so there's nothing from that...

Great DVD, poor packaging
I do not want this review to reflect poorly on the product, which is a great companion to the Live: Volume 3 cd. It is quite fun if you are already familiar with the cd, because on this video you see the performances of the songs you know from the album. This is a great introduction to The Avett Brothers for anyone who has not seen them live and has friends or family that rave about them. They are wonderful recorded, but the concerts are something else entirely. This offers a bit of glimpse of that, plus short interviews with the band, family and fans.

Outstanding Show!
I love the Avett Brothers and this concert is just another reason why. Full of energy and heart, they play all of my favorites and more.
