I was able to get two Avett Bros. posters by Chuck Sperry. I hear there's a market for them. Anyone interested?

I am a big fan of Avett brothers. Have you been a fan for long? I ask because of your "Aint no man comment". The song does not bother me much but I know many long time fans don't like it. I think they see it as to much of a departure while they try to hit top 40 radio. I do think it was successful at bringing in new fans. Like I say it does not bother me but I see where the folks who don't like it are coming from. It would be a bathroom break song for me.Saw the Avett Bros. this past Saturday at the Greek in Berkeley. Always love seeing a show there, not a bad seat in the house. It was weird because it wasn't all GA (all of the other shows that I've seen there have always been everything GA).
The opener was Lake Street Dive. They put on a good performance. I had never heard their stuff before (other than Spotify on Friday), so I was impressed.
The Avetts also put on good show. I was bummed because a buddy of mine went Friday night, and they got "Ain't No Man", so I wasn't expecting it. But, we got it too. Love that song.
Next up is DMB in Sac on 9/7 and again in SF on 9/10, then Hardly Strictly Bluegrass the first weekend of Oct.
I am a recent fan. "January Wedding" and "I and Love and You" drew me in, then when I heard "Ain't No Man" it became one of my favorite songs by them. I guess I just like more upbeat stuff. I prefer listening to their live albums over their studio albums.I am a big fan of Avett brothers. Have you been a fan for long? I ask because of your "Aint no man comment".

They do a great show though.

Greek in LA or is that from Berzerkley?Sorry, I should have clarified. I got 2 prints of the same poster from the Greek 2019.

At the 1:03 mark, I'm pretty sure she's playing Boyd Tinsley's intro to DMB's Two Step. Sounded pretty good.@JZilla Hey gb what are you doing Thursday night? Metalachi are playing in the North Bay and I'm 50/50 on going to see them https://youtu.be/hpKe-4sK7XM

I'm still debating going to see them and then going to the misfits the next night. Hell I may even throw in Kiss the following week.Can't make it gb but let's catch something soon. We are seeing Maiden on the 10th...
You're gobbling up some shows my friend. I had no idea the Misfits were doing an arena tour. 2019 what will you think of next!I'm still debating going to see them and then going to the misfits the next night. Hell I may even throw in Kiss the following week.
Awesome. The B-52s are definitely an act I want to catch at some point.3. The B-52s have definitely lost a step or two, but they can still rock. Great performance and glad I finally got to see them. Kate
You better hurry up. Not sure how many more tours they’re gonna be doing. Maybe catch them on the 80s cruise in the Caribbean in March.Awesome. The B-52s are definitely an act I want to catch at some point.
On a personal trip, I just procured tickets to see Fontaines D.C. at the Teragram in L.A on the 26th of Sept. Should be an interesting show if I make it.
Yeah, sorta resigned myself to never seeing them. Sounds good in theory, though.You better hurry up. Not sure how many more tours they’re gonna be doing. Maybe catch them on the 80s cruise in the Caribbean in March.
the girls singers are 70 and 61 years old.You better hurry up. Not sure how many more tours they’re gonna be doing. Maybe catch them on the 80s cruise in the Caribbean in March.
I had tickets to see them the summer of 1990 in Milwaukee at Summerfest with Ziggy Marley. This was their Cosmic Thing tour. I don’t remember why I didn’t go, but I’ve always regretted it. That is until last night.Yeah, sorta resigned myself to never seeing them. Sounds good in theory, though.
is joolz holland playing with them? or just sitting put with his fantastic TV show?Saw Squeeze in Milwaukee last night. They haven’t missed a step imo. Very happy I finally got the chance to see them live.
No Jools. He hasn’t been with them for a long time. Would have been cool, but their current keyboardist was pretty good. The bassist is amazing.is joolz holland playing with them? or just sitting put with his fantastic TV show?
My son just saw them in Denver. He went in with not much excitement, being he didn't really grow up with that. He said top concert he has ever seen & he has seen a bunch. He couldn't believe how they just flat out bring it.Stones - UNREAL. 70,000 or so fans on their feet the entire time. Not a fan of stadium shows but for the Stones - yeah. Massive stage, huge video screens. First class production. Mick sounded fantastic. Last time I saw him he was battling laryngitis. Not this time. On point and he was moving all over the stage. Charlie looks like a corpse but still delivers technically. Ronnie and Keith brought it. Tumbling Dice, Gimme Shelter, Miss You stood out. Fantastic show! 3-4 friends said it was top 3 show ever I agree. Would have loved to see them in their primes.

I'll be out of the country when Dylan plays So Cal. Bummed. I still hear songs that I think are band originals only to find out that they are from Dylan. Need to try and see him elsewhere on the tour. Not into his vocals but the writing....Saw Lord Huron a few weeks ago. My wife's favorite band, so I'm more along for the ride. But these guys are pretty good live. Would recommend.
Still on tap for rest of year:
Trey Anastasio acoustic solo
Ben Folds
Wilco
Possibly Dylan.
Glad you liked them but saw them at the festival I just posted about and they were just bad. Not sure if the set up was not helpful for their music but they just weren't very good.Saw Berlin, OMD, and the B-52s last night. It was a sold out show. Some observations:
1. Terri Nunn from Berlin looked high and they did a cover of Highway to Hell, which for this show, was an odd choice. They were okay, but Terri singing Take My Breath Away in the crowd was cringeworthy.
2. OMD was fantastic. Andy McCluskey’s weird dancing is awesome and his overall stage presence is over the top. I’m a big fan of OMD and happy to have finally seen them live after 3 failed attempts.
3. The B-52s have definitely lost a step or two, but they can still rock. Great performance and glad I finally got to see them. Kate
