I'm so proud of you boys! Proud enough to share you with the "mainstream". Seth's screams always bring me joy. And great to see you all jumping around - back with Bob! Saw your old Paranoia video on CMT and loved that too. You guys are THE BEST!

Just got to see this online and it was Amazing. One of my favorite songs! These guys are sooo great! I too loved seeing the expressions on the faces in the audience. It was clear they were blown away and for some probably the first time they had heard TAB, but I'm sure it won't be their last. Amazing, simply amazing.

They are the most amazing band. I have seen them live 4 times and listened to this song a million times and I still get chills hearing them play it and any other song. They are inspirational to me like nothing else I have ever seen before. I am so happy for them. They were the most real thing in the room that night. They put the rest of them to shame. There is nothing else that even compares to them. There music is addictive. Congrats!!!

I've just seen the video on CMT's web site. Simply amazing. I'm so happy to see them get recognition and, of course to see Bob. I hope that it means things are looking up for his family. Does anyone know if the unplugged session will ever air on CMT?

Their performance of Laundry Room was exceptional. The Avett's by far blew the other artists out of the water! So happy to see Bob on stage again. Can't wait for NYE!!

They got a standing ovation and blew all of the other performers off the stage. Showing everyone else what a real performance is like.

Seeing The Avett Bros perform Laundry Room on CMT last night was so AWESOME!
Scott seemed alittle reserved Smiling but Seth made me smile so big when he let it rip!!!! LOVED IT! Great to see Bob too. Taylor Swifts face said it all. These guys have a greatness that you don't quite get until you see them perform. Can't wait to see them New Year's Eve in Greenville.

It made my day to see Bob on stage. Way to go. Laundry Room ("I am a breathing time machine.." the ultimate best lyric of all time) IS the definitive song of enlightenment in getting to know what The Avetts are all about. PLUS seeing Taylor Swift's face glowing with sheer delight captured my first reaction to The Avetts as well. Next year - my boys will be accepting the award!!!!!!

Just saw them and they were fantastic (as usual). Very happy they played one of their own songs and Laundry Room was the perfect choice (one of my top five favorites). Definitely worth watching.

I really want to watch this, but on our satellite service, CMT doesn't have anything like this on. Is CMT different in Canada? I'm so sad!
