The Avett Brothers on Austin City Limits "Kick Drum Heart"

[@wendyfairfull8967]

There is nothing better on heaven and earth than The Avett Brothers live.

[@johnbertrand7185]

To all entertainers, this is called giving the audience what they want and giving a shit about your performance and craft. Bravo Avett Brothers!

[@daylabaldwin3652]

This song live involves the entire audience stomping it’s amazing

[@bunbunnny1]

my heart melted when he gave the little girl the pick... bless them

[@adamsmith5157]

Your heart has a very low melting point, IMO. : )

[@bunbunnny1]

Adam Smith perhaps you're right ... : )

[@jbolo5378]

boni , uhhh, she was ADORABLE!!!

[@rebeccamccuskey3747]

Ikr

[@benfactor1293]

There are so many stories of kids in the crowd getting picks or set lists or drumsticks from them it’s ridiculous

[@rick2112rkrk]

When my alarm went off this morning, this song was playing. Instant earworm! Then, I just had to watch the video and ended up here. They now have a new fan! The energy is absolutely amazing. This is how it gets done.

[@liam_milliken]

scott's screaming, without a doubt is the best part of this whole thing

[@joey2964]

These guys are one of the great bands around today. Gonna see them for the first time in August. Love live the Avett's.

[@marozas2597]

how was it?

[@celestecochran9845]

Saw them bring in 2024 in Raleigh NC. First time seeing them live and they were ahhmazing!!! Now this senior citizen wishes she had the money to follow them around and see more of their live concerts but alas, will have to wait until they’re back in the area.

[@mahoganysleipnir8426]

I love this band so much. They manage to do rock screams on such an upbeat tune and it doesn't sound out of place somehow. And the cello! I won't even comment on that.

[@haman7227]

Very nice, Avett Bros has such wide range, folk, melancholy to this “Kick” - how awesome! So refreshing music and energy like Springsteenish

[@whitneymaddox1207]

I would have died an gone to heaven to have been in this crowd. What a bad a$$!

[@douglayton5199]

I'm sad that I just found their music. I love the energy they have and how it transforms to the audience. I can't label their style because they can start bluegrass, go country, slide to folk, and blast a killer rock guitar solo. Their stage presence is motivating, if you are on your seat shame! Always happy when I find new music and I'm sure a lot of new tune to check out with this band🤘

[@madwacka]

It's all good!! Now you've just got several years' worth of albums and live shows to keep you busy!! Enjoy!!!

[@sunshine3914]

Today’s my fist day! Heard some punk in there too. Soul Asylum is another that can play any genre, but not all in one song.

[@valtyger466]

My ALL TIME Fav.Song they are the Best!!!!!

[@JoshWardBUJW]

Was at this taping. Can find my back in the crowd shots. Epic great show in person.

[@randythompson7734]

Nice back bro, for real

[@lenbonifacio2164]

What an amazing band! Great energy.

[@rebeccamccuskey3747]

Me and my friend love this I wish we could be there at the consert.....it looks awesome!

[@indierockyhockey]

First saw them in 2009... Last saw them two nights ago. LOVE

[@daylabaldwin3652]

Best live band ever.

[@danh441]

Each and all their contributions and it shows. Thanks, especially to the drummer. What a great ACL set.

[@michaelputsche9107]

Ich liebe dieses Lied seit ich es vor einem Jahr zufällig im Autoradio gehört habe!❤

[@Wakawakamatic]

These guys suck at social distancing. But I would risk getting COVID to see these guys!!!! Best version of this song out there!

[@benfactor1293]

One of the best live vids of KDH

[@mamat8184]

What a blessed audience!

[@marlenegonzalez7280]

These guys are the best . I would like for them to come and sing in " Buffalo , NY.

[@fuzzynutkila1]

What a fun group to watch !

[@MrCaronc]

If they play this 4th of July in South Portland, Maine I wont need any fireworks!!

[@johnfish8394]

Love this song.

[@adrianobildhauer5104]

What a performance!

[@ReeseGhost]

how is this not their most popular song

[@parkerlyons33]

This is amazing.

[@pianoman159]

That little girls dad is sooo lucky!!!!!

[@valtyger466]

God Givin Talent!!!

[@sunshineemoon5224]

Scott is amazing

[@bobidly]

how do you jump and play a cello?

[@jmturner114]

its attached to his chest

[@lindalove389]

Not attached, actually. Here's Joe Kwon's explanation - "I get asked this question a lot. The c peg hangs on my neck behind my head and acts as a cantilever with the neck of the cello itself and the body on my chest. From there I don’t need any hands to hold the instrument. However, I can’t access 1-3rd position from there easily so I have to put it down to play in those positions with any sort of dexterity. I guess it took me a couple months to be able to play this way while moving. It’s terrible for your back and I don’t recommend it unless you do other exercises to strengthen the other side of your body." (by the way, I've tried this and it hurts!)

[@robertpascascio9600]

Thas some sicc ass shit! Lmao

[@jbolo5378]

300 likes???? come on people, this is great music!

[@billbredeck1249]

If that song doesn’t pick you up you need to check out.

[@lanternlite75]

love it

[@markbadwal2219]

This is a performance.

[@inspirationworks8357]

They are truly amazing and generous artists. Their live shows are just WOW. Talk about leaving it all out there !

[@brianberek6145]

wowow is this version commercially realesed on disc anywhere?!??

[@Christycat35]

I love The Avett Brothers and their music. I really enjoy the energy in this performance & Seth going into the audience. I loved it that he gave the little girl his pick. But I really can’t stand screaming in music. 😖

[@toymachine4918]

やっと見つけた！8年かかったぞ！

[@DaveMcIroy]

Fuck. I miss concerts.

[@iuribills]

Muito bom

[@londorsey9013]

right On

[@haydenmckinney5268]

Since when is Dave Grohl an Avett Brother?

[@nbond6655]

This song is so amazing, but it sounds like the lead singer is having a stroke. Goes to show how much editing goes into published songs lol

[@SuperSergiosj]

💜💜💜💥💥💥💜💜💜

[@ennisvaile3912]

I heart Tania

[@DrelvanianGuardOffic]

Why does that guy have twin braids... more importantly... how is the celloist jumping..

[@lindalove389]

No, he doesn't use a strap. He hooks the pegs behind his head which is why he can put the cello back down on the ground to play as well. No mean feat. You couldn't do that with a strap and that's also why his end pin is extended (so he can play it standing up). This was his explanation on a forum where someone else asked the same question. By the way, I've tried it his way and it hurts!

[@coozerskitz8323]

These guys blow chunks

[@daletruckington1363]

Why wasn't drum mic'd?

[@rolen47]

This song sounds better live than the album version.

[@luciafrancisco96]

so there is a giutar part

[@daylabaldwin3652]

Seth used to always go into the audience. He doesn’t anymore.

[@imh1p9]

Did anyone else notice that the “kick drum” is actually the floor Tom??? Kinda hurt me a little bit, ngl

[@hisrealnameisjoesph]

Jeff Nadu

[@wheatonna]

Nice, but that cello is pure affectation. That's not how a cello is played and maybe that's why you can't hear it.

[@shayes610]

They always have the worst crowds

[@cquilty1]

This is the most aggressively white thing I've seen in a long time...and I'm a white person.

[@ML-vc8zs]

Meh...

[@bradframke6236]

This is why I hate live music. Just fuckin play the music you recorded. Use your weird artistic difference on new tracks.

[@bradleedavis0602]

Just horrible

[@tylerhuertas1421]

You ARE joking, right?

[@Certifieddoll]

Brad Davis so is your life

[@ZoojerZ]

Thank you! These guys are biggest douche canoes on the planet. Soft ass hipster bs

[@sunshine3914]

Only been rocking a dozen instruments for two decades....
