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

I own nothing, all rights belong to The Avett Brothers and iClips. I'm just a big fan and want to spread the word.

[@ccdecc6650]

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

[@suedehead1968]

If you're loved by someone, you're never rejected

[@segriffincom]

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

[@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.🤑

[@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!

[@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.

[@OpinionatedPeach]

Right lol

[@vmdesign2001]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@diemauerdk]

the love to music! This dedication is rare

[@alyasfukename3355]

"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.

[@matthewehrenman8549]

wow, feeling a multi year vibe from the Avett Brothers

[@annettedbj]

I'm the 43 year old kid with a head full of doubt

[@827mejones]

But there is a road full of promise.... ".....decide what to be and go be it!...."

[@cuteninjamuffin]

There is never too much cello.

[@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

[@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

Saw this concert on PBS last night. Love their music, they are really enjoying what they do!!

[@23Hilarity]

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.

[@KatieGilchrist-s7x]

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

[@Benny_From_NY]

Chills for days

[@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.

[@ashlrose7]

saw them last night....so amazing

[@beckyobeck]

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

[@imabalog]

Joe Kwon, more cello! Great version of this song...I hope to see a show at Red Rocks sometime in my life...!

[@hopeulove]

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

[@mariahelenalonghi]

Jesus... I think I had a heart failure... amazing

[@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.

[@XAUSTXCOREX]

Their mother is a symphony artist.in N.C.in the U.S.(North Carolina.)...what's one to expect.

Damn those brothers are hot as fuck.

[@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

[@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.

[@MYMICHELLE70]

there was a dream...

[@mattpreston565]

Ya know they wrote this song about me... The Avett bro's have written quite a few songs for me lol

[@bartholomewjones9175]

See them on the 2015 tour and then comment.

[@oliviasmom01]

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

[@827mejones]

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!

[@827mejones]

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

[@oliviasmom01]

827mejones lol. Trust me I’ve seen the documentary. I own it. I’ve also seen them 37 times and had tickets to three more lined up until corona put a halt to them.

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.

[@jimbrady1776]

that's what they say about cow bells.

[@oliviasmom01]

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

[@bigchris1691]

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

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

[@sjohnston936]

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

[@jerrywhitehead9921]

Sam Johnston he does play the piano

[@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:

[@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

[@TheFirefighter1971]

hahaha u damn right he is LOL

[@UrsaMusic]

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

[@03cobrah]

i came to watch the cello guy jump

[@ChaseSchieferPhotos]

@vmdesign2001 only thing too loud is the guitar.

[@walkdaddy14]

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

[@frederickryerson4994]

walkdaddy14 hit me again Enzo

[@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!!

[@katieoneill8745]

hell yeah that jumpy asian cello player is the shit

[@bash4368]

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

[@cultpop0217]

They absolutely are.

[@gabemouritsen9532]

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

[@jbdmb]

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

[@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.

[@MammaCIS]

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

[@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!

[@Democritus477]

Terrible mix. The performance is ok though

[@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 😂😂

[@MrDCRex1988]

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

[@slimebwoy]

TOO MUCH CHELLO.

[@jet9758]

Shut up

[@Whiskeyspitt]

Way too much cello. Needed better sound mixing big time

[@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.

[@jimbrady1776]

the cello guy is annoying.

[@ACDC392333]

The cello player just looks stupid playing like that.

[@Drewtazy]

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