I'm dreaming for a living - I've got no time for work.
There's a group chat going on under the "I'm an idiot" thread.
This is so incredible! Yes,sir-ee
Does anybody know if this is still available anywhere?

We all should break down the walls being built around us
I want to watch it too. I was at the show, but I want to see it again and again and again

But their good times come with prices
And I can't believe it when I hear the jokes they make
At anyone's expese except their own
Would they laugh if they knew who paid?
Here you go. Re-live!

Great videos. That Jan Wedding video sure illustrates why people singing along to every song can be irritating.

When is it appropriate to sing along? I get that you shouldn't be trying to drown out Seth during The Ballad of Love and Hate and the person next to you paid money to hear the Avetts sing, not you, but I don't see anything wrong with singing along at an appropriate volume. I know this is probably along the same lines as the sit/stand debate, but I'm curious as to what most people think is appropriate.

Stand and sing along! You go to the shows for the experience, hence why live albums exist.

this statement get's my vote (if we're voting), that's the rule I follow.

yep, agree too. I don't sing during slow songs at all, esp. when it's just one of them playing guitar. but fast songs, I will, but still not overly loud so that I'm drowning out the band. plus I have a terrible voice--no one needs to hear that.
There was a dude in Ithaca singing January Wedding so loud, I could barely hear Seth--and I was in the front row in front of Seth. Someone in our group asked him to bring it down just a bit--not stop singing, just slightly less loudly. He did eventually oblige.
obviously this is a matter of opinion, but that's mine.

Wish me luck, I know you think I'll need it.
For all the hardest roads we have to walk alone.
For Gods sake did you listen to that video? There is someone singing WAY out of tune and if I had been standing there it would have greatly diminished my experience. I consider that song a slow personal song for Seth. I want to hear him sing it. Not some, likely drunk, guy that can’t sing.
I cant sing a note. I know that. I would never sing loud enough to be heard at a show. I do my singing in my head. I don’t need to prove to the people around me that I know all the words. But then again I do care about infringing on the people around me.
Hold it back for Talk on Indolence.

I am okay with people singing to the sing-a-long type songs like Go To Sleep, but also feel VERY strongly that people need to shut their pie holes during the slower songs, especially the solos. It really is rude to the fans and the band in my opinion. Me and other concert goers have paid for tickets and possibly traveled great distances at some expense to hear them perform, not a drunk and/or self centered person near them that is more interested in getting attention of those around them.
I never did mention this because honestly, I just wanted to forget, but I traveled 8 hrs (one way) to go tho the show in Knoxville, TN. It was a seated show which normally seem to be much more conducive to good show etiquette. Unfortunately, I was directly behind a girl that screamed all night, turned around in her seat and talked to people behind her, took pictures of herself, screamed at the band during every quiet moment, sang shrilly to the top of her lungs (when she was actually paying attention to the music), and basically distracted me the entire show. At one point she sat on my hand. Yes, that's right. She sat on the back of the seat in front of me which I happened to be resting my hand. She acted shocked when I asked her to get up. There was no way to tune her out as she was visually directly in my view and her voice was so shrill I would have to have gone deaf to not hear her. It was the worst concert experience I have ever had. Thank God, that the entire trip was saved by the wonderful people of the Avett Nation that I was able to spend time with before and after the show, and also was lucky enough to interact with Joe and Seth a few minutes after the show (thanks to those same generous people).

I have rules. Never eat or drink in underwear or pajamas/Scott Avett
Yep, I did listen (btw, thanks for posting those, Caseydog). The first time it didn't really strike me as all that terrible, so I went back and listened again just now. I could hear the "likely drunk guy" clearly about four times, most of them during the more upbeat parts of the song. Nevertheless, the point of my question wasn't to pass judgement on whether the guy in the video should or shouldn't be singing. I legitimately wanted to know where people stood on singing along, mostly so that when I'm at concerts I can enjoy myself as much as possible without pissing off anyone around me. So thank you guys for sharing your opinions, and if others have thoughts on the matter, please keep them coming!

"I've never been too good at reading in between the lines."
I just watched it. In the first 30 seconds the guy is louder than Seth and way bad. That's hardly during the more “upbeat part”. It destroys the start of the song. If I had been standing there it would have taken all my self control to tolerate him. Can’t we just listen to the band we bought the ticket for?
What sucks is when your taping and then you realize you were the one singing. Even though you weren't loud, you just happened to be near your own mic.
Fortunately, I can always hear my wife singing along in all my videos, which I'll always cherish.
