I have a 100" projection home theater but don't have a wall to watch it on. Maybe I will get that roommate

I'll play it from ACL online from my PC into the projector.

Weight of Lies, Pretty Girl From Chili, It's The Beaches, and all of I and Love and You

I was semi conscious late last Sunday morning with the TV on when I heard our local PBS station say "The Avettts... Austin City Limits". Naturally I awoke and had to find out the info. When I did, I sent it to you guys (OK, I'm slumming for credit -- I admit to it). How about one point extra for that? Come on guys, you know I love ya! I'm emailing everyone I know to make sure they watch. I love the comment about the new "Rock Kings"? Now don't get heddy with those crowns! Remember us little people...

Can't wait! I keep scrolling through my saved shows in my DVR, hoping for an early present! But I will be sitting by the TV waiting!

I have no selfish memorandum...no confusion for me.

The true pinnacle of an artist's career is playing ACL.

Now if you could just lose that Rick Rubin fellow, things would be perfect.

Sooo proud!!!!

Thanks for the heads up on January 23rd. I'm going to program my PVR now! Looking forward to it.

Eek

Thu, 01/21/2010 - 10:00pm — anjanette

I'm tuning in...Just in case...But my local listing (http://www.pbs.org/tvschedules) shows freaking Mos Def this week, and the Avetts next Friday. What the fiddlesticks?

This turn of events has made me vewy, vewy sad.

HOLY s***!!

Thu, 01/21/2010 - 10:49pm — eric_thehuman

totally ready to take this all in! :D

and the week after Avetts

Fri, 01/22/2010 - 12:58am — justtelljasonhow

We have been imagining and talking about you guys on Austin City Limits for a long time now, and here it is. Also, I think the next week after Avetts is Steve Earle paying tribute to Townes Van Zandt. So there's that then on top.

oh hell yeah!

There was a dream and one day I could see it. So, like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it. And there was a kid with a head full of doubt, so I'll scream 'til I die or the last of those bad thoughts are finally out.

I have been checking ACL's website forever! If I got a nickel for every time I rave about TAB, I would be rich.

I cannot find it anywhere in our TV guide for tonight. We've done a search for ACL and the programs shown are all repeats. We cannot find you!!! We are going to see David Bromberg & Jorma Kaukonen tonight and wanted to set our DVR. HELPPPP. We are in the Philly PA area and have looked on every channel!!!!

every showing is at 3 am until february 6th and 7th then it will be on at 9pm (mst) and 12am(mst)
granted im up now, but people are sleeping at my house, that would be just rude to rock the volume and rude to not rock the volume, so my catch 22

well i guess i will just have to wait that two extra weeks, i'll make it

GREAT PERFORMANCE ON ACL

Sun, 01/24/2010 - 11:55am — fosterij

Great performance last night on ACL. Very cool that PBS offers the full episode on video their website http://video.pbs.org/video/1392403650/ I watched it again this morning! Only wished I could have seen a full hour of TAB instead of the Heartless Bastards.
