Love the guy's reaction in the crowd when he realizes the song is MITC. Such honest reaction to an honestly great song!!!

[@nealfromm4073]

My brother was murdered in the city on MLK Day 2021. I was a little lit - as he most surely was-- when I heard this and could near as hear him singing it on the wind. What a love song, thank you. 🙏 ❤️ ✨

This song was my introduction to the Avett Brothers. My son chose this for our Mother/Son dance at his wedding. I went home and listened to all of their music. Since, I have seen them in concert twice and attended the showing of their movie. "Always remember there is nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share a name."

[@1blastman]

Amen

[@townerakers1493]

Wasn’t the movie “May it last”?

[@glencram]

Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing.

[@itszaque]

This was my introduction as well, incredible song!

[@itzlit7548]

That mandolin solo played strings in my heart man

[@KP-hd1vv]

Same

[@midwestlawyer]

Here again in 2024. Just saw them 3 weeks ago in St. Paul with Trampled by Turtles. Wonderful show.

[@adamlaxmusic]

The dude that yells “yes” in the beginning isn’t me, but it easily could’ve been.

[@shawnwoller2595]

The dude that commented this isn't me, but easily could've been.

[@PNWbluegrasshole]

Dont be this guy 🤣

[@shoei41]

😂

[@adamlaxmusic]

@@PNWbluegrasshole no. Absolutely be that guy. There’s never been a musician who doesn’t like to be appreciated.

[@elizabethhabanec7970]

Much agreed, dude.

[@stanvann8347]

I believe this was the very first song I heard from the Avett's seven long years ago. I'm glad we found each other.

[@SMS-716]

I think this is my most favorite version of this song, just beautiful!!

[@ralphfoulkes9384]

Is there any other version I was not aware of that

[@SMS-716]

@@ralphfoulkes9384 Maybe version was the wrong word to use. I just meant that between the original video and the numerous live videos of this song this live track happens to be my favorite.

[@ralphfoulkes9384]

@bustacap8923 thank you

[@fargodonwargo641]

I am just totally mesmerized by this song, been listening to it all day. Excellence!

[@ridgefoster]

This was me brother favorite song before he died.

[@firemanponch]

I love both the Avett Brothers and Chris Thile, but what I really love about watching Chris play is the utter joy he projects when he's playing.

[@sarahneczwid366]

You get me every time I hear this song Scott Avett. I love the tiny powerful ways that last verse has changed over the years. Now that I'm a parent, I feel the progression of "the love that lets us share our name".

[@MattBellStL]

I didn’t read the description, and then I saw Chris Thile. Holly moly.

[@ralphfoulkes9384]

This was the first song I ever heard from the brothers then I saw them on HBO

[@Grypolx]

I’ll see you at home kid ! RIP Big John 💔🥀

[@JacobLong-o1c]

Maybe one day I won’t get misty when I listen to this song. It wasn’t today and I hope it’s never. Thanks Avetts

[@rockman2706]

I understand this, thanks for caring and sharing ❤

[@Kraze777]

My favorite song! Needs 3 billion views.

[@rockman2706]

Memories are flooding back in my head

[@cheongyei]

What a treat to have found you guys!! How I got here...... I was watching a KZbin video on James Prigioni's gardening channel and he played a bit of your tune Bella Donna, which I thought was very listenable. So, I 'Shazammed' the musical clip, but got no result -- so I did a Google search on the lyrics and found the song and y'all! Please set a concert date in Southern California!

[@jaycestraub7722]

Well my goodness!!! I listened to this song with Brandi Carlile the first time I’ve ever heard it. BUT YOU!!!! On your own is amazing!!!!!!!!

[@colemorgan2939]

Such an intimate version of this already incredibly written song. I love how he changed the lyrics to progress with his life. He's the father now (2:30). I've had mad love for the Avett Brothers and their songwriting talents for years. Hope to see them again live VERY SOON!

[@HeidiBadger]

This is my brother's suiside letter. He played it on his guitar intensively. He would ask me if I recognized the song, but i couldn'tbecause he played it too beautifully. Letters in his belongings where "watching the wheels go round and round and head full of doubt.

[@Observer285]

Just learning about the Avett Bros. Thought I'd watched every Live From Here (RIP 😢) but I must have missed this one. Every "new" song I hear by them seems amazing.

[@rockman2706]

This is very emotional ❤

[@kylercoleman4591]

I so badly want to see these guys live. They're the truth man!

[@sydneybutcher4263]

Kyler Coleman they are amazing live!!!

[@kyleerickson6445]

Just saw them live on Saturday. I have been to 200+ concerts in my life, and they are easily in the top five. Fantastic live performers.

[@1blastman]

@@kyleerickson6445 Great people put on great shows. The first time I saw them was at New Orleans Jazzfest several years ago. After their set, they went to the record tent and signed cd's and met with fans. You wouldn't think that superstar songwriters would be so down to earth, friendly and unassuming. Love all their music, but this is my favorite song by them.

[@leonardovinicius254]

one of the best songs ever made

[@mikemcelhaney1046]

So very pleased that this happened. I love it when my heros join each other on stage.

[@MichaelCherau-kt8gy]

Simply a great song

[@ginger_king_1234]

true fan right there get him on that show guessing songs by notes. homeboy hit tht yessss.... 2nd strum....respect

[@GastedFlabber]

Please, more mandalin in songs!! Love it!!

[@rebekahmabalot6088]

I love Bob's sweet smile in the background. Gosh, could I possibly love them any more?

[@fuzzyallan]

awesome song, and love the post

[@dandylin63]

Such a beautiful song.

[@MikeFox__FoxMan2099]

Wow. And Chris has still got it. Love it.

[@kostaburgess4373]

Who disliked this? Who are these people?🤦‍♂️😂 absolutely love it, maybe even better than the original!

[@pattidiane]

Great song! Love to you all. I can’t wait to see you for the 15th time!

[@UnauthorizedComedy]

Beautiful.

[@math_ofc]

Who else is here after Outer Banks?

[@allanchege9005]

Just got this in the last episode of outerbanks

[@juanmiguelmunoz5970]

Bella canción, a través de ella ves pasar algunos días, algunos tiempos, tiempos que quedaron atrás, tiempos que se han convertido en sueños cortos,, he llegado a pensar que algunos tiempos no se han ido, creo que me han abandonado

[@Pisomajado]

I fucking love these guys.

[@Ottee2]

Solid Gold.

[@peggygibbons479]

I would give anything to see them. I'm in Missouri & I even looked at tickets in Kentucky, but there was barely anything left :(

[@CatzRUs]

"I wonder which brother is better" Avett or Punch? Bad joke, but I love this version. More mandolin please!

[@peggygibbons479]

I am 100% positive the angels play mandolin in Heaven :)

[@joshuabensolomon711]

chris thile man take a bow

[@doodlersontheblock5612]

@ 1:25 That smile cracks me up!

[@Kraze777]

Without me this would only have 37,236 views.... 😁

[@americanineverywaybutcitiz2330]

OK you win.

[@finalgirl11]

I think the avett bros should incorporate mandolin into more of their songs *wink wink*

[@gordonanderson3111]

yeah but hey...isn't that Yo Yo Ma standing behind him? ALL hail Loyd Loar, if ony 100 years too late!

[@Anglerte]

Pretty sure you're talking about Joe Kwon, he's part of the band.

[@gordonanderson3111]

Just kidding, and yes Yo Yo was on the show recently. Call me the fairly stoned companion AND I did not think this was possible yet after 40 years of loyal listening I am happy to say I now enjoy the PHC more, sorry Gary.

[@keithableiter8538]

May it last

[@adamlaxmusic]

AND THERES CHRIS THILE?!?!?

[@ahaning]

What do the lines about Elvis mean? Thinking about Elvis, how he made Mama cry? Elvis find Jesus?

[@ehrenmcnally7641]

does anyone know the type of guitar Scott is playing here?

[@Lubo163]

I think its a Martin

[@ibandacaesar477]

Outer banks brought me here

[@JasonMcLoughlin-ro6lv]

Black Thought approves 😂

[@JakeRigby1]

I love this and the Avett brothers, but Scott's guitar is ever so slightly out of tune and it really others me

[@bboorideau5253]

Just the best!
