You tube comes through!

We just got home from Philadelphia, and someone has already posted a video of the Avett Brothers concert we went to see!

I hope more videos pop up soon. Anyway, here it is... it was a great show.



We had a pretty "creative" location. It was a general admission show, which means that there are no assigned seats, and we headed upstairs to the balcony because I'm so short I usually can't see over everyone else's heads. The balcony seats were all full, but we squeezed in against the back rail, in the bar area, and had to sit on the floor so we could see underneath the low ceiling. We didn't bring the camera, but I took a cell phone photo, which of course is terrible. It was much better than it looks here.




The concert itself was great; the Brothers alternately rocked out and harmonized beautifully. It was also notably nice because it was the most friendly concert I've been to in a long time. We had conversations with a lot of the people sitting around us, which doesn't usually happen; usually, there is very little eye contact. Our seats could have been better, but they were very atmospheric. I only had one beer spilled down my back; I actually thought it could be worse, I was afraid for a few minutes that this guy who sat next to us for a while was going to be sick -- that would have been horrible...

Great show! We were down on the floor and the sound wasn't the best up close. Wish I had chosen the balcony.

It really was great -- now I'm thinking about convincing my husband to take me the NYC show...
The only bad thing about the balcony sound was that we were right in the bar area, and there were some rather loud drunk people. Aside from that, though, everything was great!
