The Avett Brothers - Head Full of Doubt/ Road Full of Promise (Live at Red Rocks)

[@danimalcrackers1224]

This was the first song I heard from them back in 2013 when I searched them before they came to st Augustine fl. This version captured me. This melody makes me break down today. It was a time of coming off of opiates and I moved to st Augustine to restart new life and this song became my anthem of joy daily. My buddy would always give a hard time saying its about nothing! But I loved the energy I dunno it found me at the perfect time of my life when I could use it. So I have to say I havnt listened to it in couple years. It came to my mind tonight and I looked it up on Spotify looking for this version couldn’t find it but did see there is concert is in st Augustine fl next month. Will be there!! God is good

[@jw-w99]

Oh I don't agree with your friend, the song is about everything that matters.... he needs to go back and listen to the lyrics. But I am glad it inspired you and congrats on your life changes! :)

[@j.b.9581]

Just saw these guys at Red Rocks tonight. They said that it is their 22nd time at Red Rocks. They obviously love Colorado.

[@deislandgirl1]

I’ve seen them 3 times and I will go to see them 300000 times more. Bless them

[@loriho2]

especially at red rocks!! seriously a spiritual experience there!

[@smittie2452]

When nothing is owed or deserved or expected. And your life doesn't change by the man that's elected. If your loved by someone your never rejected. Decide what to be, and go be it. There is no better advice. Thank you!

[@smittie2452]

My first grandson is named Avett!

[@smittie2452]

My favorite lyric of all time!

That man rocking the cello is a fucking inspiration. Come on. Look at that man play...

[@jw-w99]

He really is!

[@diemauerdk]

the love to music! This dedication is rare

[@TraceySafetyLady]

I heard this song on a commercial and fell in love with it... Nice.

[@TraceySafetyLady]

@dropdeadfedra This song is featured in some Northwestern Mutual commercials.

[@stargazer6753]

@@TraceySafetyLady That was it. The band may get some flak for it , but I hope they got paid well . Today almost everybody does it especially the dead ones.

[@TraceySafetyLady]

@@stargazer6753 Right, so many bands are doing it now.😁 Agreed, hopefully, they are getting paid well.🤑

[@vmdesign2001]

I like that they turned up the Cello. It melts all the musical flavors together.

[@ccdecc6650]

I don't even want to talk to the 40 people who didn't like this performance.

[@mikitesh9779]

I love the cello and the passion that he plays it. Obviously this is a live version it's going to be different than on a CD

[@KatieGilchrist-s7x]

The cello! What an interesting choice of instrument . It's fantastic!

[@matthewehrenman8549]

wow, feeling a multi year vibe from the Avett Brothers

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Heard this song in 09 my lads were around 9 and 11 years old at the time we played this song on repeat for ages singing our balls off. Now in '24 my ypungest just sent me a reminder of this epic song what a classic great memories thanks for uploading this version its awesome liked and subbed

[@jaredpontius1701]

I just love this, holy crap it's awesome!

[@bethyeatts9284]

I Saw them on this tour in Portmouth at the Ntelos Pavillion. The most energetic and enthusiatic entertainment I ever experienced. I knew they were going to get huge at that point and they have / Congratulations boys on your upcoming european tour. Experiences ahead for more beatifully written songs. Thank you for the smile you bring each morning all I have to do is flip the switch on the bose and there you are with my daily inspiration. With love and with Peace Always a fan. Beth va bch va

"there's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light. In the fine print they tell me what's right, and it comes in black and it comes white, and I'm frightened by those who don't see it." This lyric is so insanely profound and yet I don't think many understand it. The fine print in black and white has only become more demanding these last ten years.

[@stargazer6753]

I love that verse also. Think they are truly great.

[@analogueoverdigital929]

Probably the deepest lyrics and def a message they wanted to leave.. I also agree that we are basically being demanded everything.

[@JohnnyNiteTrain]

This dude I knew put me onto them in 2011, so I went and saw them at Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown that fall 2011... been hooked ever since. Try to see them and My Morning Jacket as much as I can. MMJ I've been seeing since I stumbled into their tent at Bonnaroo 2003 not knowing who they were. 21 years later their my favorite band along with the Avetts... love this shit.

[@tylerholl3089]

So good. It's hard to deal with how amazing they are

[@beckyobeck]

Thank you for sharing! I can't imagine them live, so Dynamic!

just wonder how many times they can do a song then say.. i can't do that again. i do enjoy watching the cello and the passion they all put into this song

I can guarantee I've seen the Avetts more times than anyone here and have listened to them for longer and let me say: If you're talking bad about Joe Kwon in any way... you're wrong.

GLORIOUS !!!!!!

[@XAUSTXCOREX]

Love the big fiddles!...as ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) was accused of being "The band with the big fiddles" from the U.K.once,when they came here..so does Avette brothers have what it takes. The banjos and the Northern Irish ..just bring in a woman as ELO did to accomplish the max with the Avettes.

[@fredhuff9933]

Decide what to be and go be it.

[@thebee18]

I love that bass.

[@mazacotegrande]

great song!

[@DrawingExercises-q2d]

The lead vocals and piano back up this band's lyrical excellence very well. I'm going to have to search for songwriting credits.

[@cultpop0217]

It's an original song by the brothers Avett.

[@Kerm88]

cultpop0217 and the “piano back up” is actually the lead vocalist

The Avetts write all their own music so look no further for songwriter credits

hell yeah they do.... how is there an avett conversation under a TOP live stream? I love both but feel like i have fallen into the matrix. And this comment is 6 yrs old? But watch their Judd Apatow doc. May it Last.... incredible souls!

some how i have the last video i watched comments under a live video i switched to.... I am in the matrix

Best act in rocksndroll now? maybe

[@jpayne4494]

Best Live in Concert: 1. Michael Jackson 2. The Rolling Stones 3. Queen 4. Pink Floyd 5. The Avett Brothers They cracked the top five. They're not on Mt. Rushmore yet; but, God do I love this band!

[@iamgalaxies]

I love The Avett Brothers, but comparing them to the bands you listed before them is just daft. Hundreds of bands have a stage presence as good if not better than they do. The fact that even put them into the same category as Queen is just silly. Re-think your list, edit, then re-post.

[@maries7990]

+iamgalaxies I don't think it's silly. those people are clearly legends for their contribution to music. I think they are all amazing artists but unfortunately was unable to see any of them live. The avett brothers are a modern day band that are only growing. Give them the years that these bands and artists have and I think they would defintley deserve to bee on that list. I've seen many live shows and to this day, I don't think anyone compares to their talent. I saw them opening up for the Rolling Stones and man do I love the stones but I think the avetts still put on a better performance. I guess it's all a matter of opinion though

[@maries7990]

Didn't realize he listed the Rolling Stones.

[@adamsmith4195]

The Avett Brothers have a better catalog than any of the above. Their repertoire rivals the Beatles.

[@lumpy966]

The opening few songs of any concert at Red Rocks are never perfect. I think most bands are so pumped up on adrenalin that this happens. I bet they settled down and the rest of the concert was amazing.

[@jimbrady1776]

yup.

[@michaelcalland801]

How bout that cello…!.?

[@supafly522]

someone get that guy a keytar so he can jump around with his buddys!

[@jimbrady1776]

that's what they say about cow bells.

[@TheFirefighter1971]

hahaha u damn right he is LOL

[@gt3stuntman01]

Where can I get this whole set? Tried to find it to buy on iClips but the page doesn't exist anymore and every torrent links to Demonoid which is defunct. It seems I'm destined to not see this amazing show. D:

[@oliviasmom01]

No that's Joe Kwon...Bob plays the stand up bass

[@bigchris1691]

opening for the Rolling Stones july 1st Raleigh N C show

[@AB-dw2op]

I was there!

[@zippyrodriguez9632]

How much does a cello weigh? That's pretty impressive.

[@theshapeexists]

Enough to make that playing almost impossible unless you're totally pumped up on a crowd full of redrocks. Magical things happen in that venue

[@sjohnston936]

If Levin Helms played piano..........

[@jerrywhitehead9921]

Sam Johnston he does play the piano

[@RobRittel]

Joe Kwon

[@MsBebabo]

only if you want her imagining that you're one of the brothers ;)

[@inspirationworks8357]

Haha ! I know exactly what comment you are replying to. And this is hilarious. :D

[@ChaseSchieferPhotos]

@vmdesign2001 only thing too loud is the guitar.

[@03cobrah]

i came to watch the cello guy jump

[@UrsaMusic]

my favorite avett song... played here too fast.

[@debhill549]

[@walkdaddy14]

Why do they have the Asian bad guy from Lethal Weapon on the cello???

walkdaddy14 hit me again Enzo

[@katieoneill8745]

hell yeah that jumpy asian cello player is the shit

[@OpinionatedPeach]

More cowbell…..

[@nathanjonessr]

that's a bummer that the cello is so poorly mixed, it makes a good addition but you can't hardly hear anything else... I love this song!!

[@jbdmb]

Great song... exploited to a piece of shit.... I am frightened by those who do not see it

[@bash4368]

he said rocking roll lol /i love these guys but its not rock n roll by no means

[@cultpop0217]

They absolutely are.

[@MammaCIS]

I think it is funny that the cello player always seems to be mouthing the wrong words :)

[@slimebwoy]

TOO MUCH CHELLO.

[@jet9758]

Shut up

[@oliviasmom01]

Wrong...they are all passionate about their music and Joe has amazing talent. Take your homophobic b.s. to some other musician...Beiber perhaps? Seth is incredibly talented and dances all the time...trust me Joe is not upstaging the brothers!

[@gabemouritsen9532]

This is a beautiful song but high tempo for live play bites....just like the Asian cello dancer

[@Whiskeyspitt]

Way too much cello. Needed better sound mixing big time

[@Democritus477]

Terrible mix. The performance is ok though

[@MrDCRex1988]

yes they played THEIR SONG too fast. They don't know what they're doing.

[@PerryCuda]

Love this song but it doesn't really work in a stadium. He almost has to yell out the quatrain. Ideal for a bar or small venue.

[@TylerCampbell2]

i've tried getting used to them having a drummer but i just can't stand it. i feel like it just takes away from what they created. i like it when it's just their kick drum and high hat, and the occasional song where one of the brothers gets on the set. i don't like it in every song. it doesn't fit in my opinion

[@Oneofthechose]

🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 You and I we’re the same live and die- we’re the same😉 I could handle “Smiling Jacob” cuz he didn’t TRY to stick out the OG fan base knows I don’t like Mike(more cuz he stole my friends art while I was AT RROCKS for them year after this w/ OCMS) ruined the entire 2nd night- and I was in the Friends and Fam section so I was helped unfortunately both wearing his art lost FB pages people got pissed at me🤷‍♂️😂 Hey they stole Art- from the guy who came up with the cotdamn name : The Avett Bros instead of Nemo. Killed his career, just remember Salvation song- take it how YOU feel it should be… like PF they’ll have cool back stories 😂😂

[@NathanJones-zb1kj]

Not sure about any others, but being a huge fan of this band and this song in particular, I would have been pretty irritated that it was essentially "ruined" by it being played too fast along with a Cello that was entirely too loud. It's a background to the piano and the vocals for a reason. Fantastic band, but anyone saying this sounds anywhere close to the quality of their other performances is entirely too caught up in their love of the band.

[@ACDC392333]

The cello player just looks stupid playing like that.

[@Drewtazy]

Can't ya see he is into and apart of the melody.

[@HankFinkle11]

Joe is major cool.

[@jimbrady1776]

the cello guy is annoying.
