I saw them in Syracuse a week ago and they are just such a fun band to watch!

[@MrDRock-rc2tz]

agreed...they are great live!

[@baileymarolf7751]

I was at that show too. Such a great great great live band.

[@birdiedog5]

I saw them about 8 years ago at a small venue and they were a lot of fun to watch I agree

[@ChrisKoelsch]

Well said Bob

[@marissavlogs6123]

U hi I am obsessed with your CZcams channel you are amazing

[@SouthCountyGal]

Oh, goodness, Joe spoke! He hardly ever says anything in the interviews. I wish someone had had the presence of mind to turn off the background music; it's difficult to give a sincere, thoughtful interview with music blasting, and these guys try never to give insubstantial answers.

[@frarfarf]

LOL look at 2:20, watch Bob's face, when Jo chimes in his face is a low-key version of 'holy fucking shit Jo's saying something!'

[@kdhovis8665]

Agree. Why that background noise had to be going on? Can't call it music. Just noise . I love the Avetts. Can't listen thru the Fallon rap house band.

[@harpergooby9288]

I live right near where they went to college and I went to their Hurricane Relief concert, a couple months back after Maria I think, and it was my first concert , and I went with my dad and brother. It was awesome! But, that concert was in Minges Colosseum, the ECU basketball court

[@claytonica23]

Asheville is awesome! So relaxing, lots of good beer

[@lindalooloo435]

The show at Chautauqua was incredible!

[@eatnosenuggets]

that's a lot of hair gel in one video.

[@brambleberry7814]

Their new album is great!

[@laurenmuraco7234]

Mafioso Bob is killing me

[@ACGNikki]

Just glanced at thumbnail at first, thought the guy to the far right was Johnny Depp! xD

[@parkjimns]

AINT NO MAN CAN ENSLAVE ME AINT NO MAN CANT CHANGE ME

Hi

[@TheRealMrLofasz]

Feel free to chime in at any moment Bob...

[@kdhovis8665]

FatherTomasino Bob has a daughter who had a brain tumor at age 2. He and his family have been thru hell. Don't judge what you don't know.

[@henrywhite7738]

@@kdhovis8665 If they know the band members they probably do know the situation. And as devastating as it is, I don't think Hallie's tumor had anything to do with him not talking

[@anunoriginalname5396]

IM SO EARLY YASS

[@anthonyshats9220]

Bob be like... I'm disinterested, bored, and tired and you brothers are way to introspective

[@frarfarf]

haha yeah imagine how many times he has sat through through these type of spots over the course of 17 years LOL

[@bigdmac33]

What utter rubbish. Of course Bob isn't any of those things, but if you are referring to his quiet demeanour, you too would be like him if you've come through what Bob has in his life. #NoRespect.

[@WhatThePolitics]

I Thought that was Bobby Lee

[@wolfcreekboys7353]

Check our tunes..we are a duo of brothers trying to get our stuff out.

[@MarcosAmparo]

I got a video on my channel.

[@MarcosAmparo]

I'm not lying

[@DummaDumGaming]

He is lying

[@MarcosAmparo]

lmao

[@darrellbrock4788]

Just went there and he has no Avett brothers there. Zero. Zilch. Nada. He's a troll who just wants you to go to his dumb page.

[@MarcosAmparo]

Dude I have about 39 videos

[@101starfall]

[@kdhovis8665]

Glad you don't judge on appearances. Avett Brothers have more talent in their little pinky than all of the commercial main stream top 40 Crap.
