What a night. Thank you thank you thank you Seth, Scott, Bob, and Joe for an incredible show. It will always be a night to remember and I'll never forget it. I bought the 2 tickets back in May while abroad in Europe as a Father's Day gift for my dad and it just so happened that I returned to the US on August 7th, the day before the show. I was a little jet-lagged and road weary but the atmosphere of that place lifted me right back on my feet where I stayed for the whole show.

It was great to hear both Seth and Scott on the keys and it was awesome to finally get to see them with Joe and truly understand how much his cello adds to the group. When Seth choked up on 'Love and Hate' I got goosebumps. Salvation Song was the perfect closer. In the last 4 days have only taken my concert tee off to shower!

It was great to go with my dad, too. When we got in there he was immediately reminded of so many Checkers games from his youth and a handful of historical bands he got to see in the very same place - Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, etc. I hope one day I have the chance to a show there with my own child and I'll point at the stage and say, "Seth and Scott Avett stood right there and played the best concert of my life on August 7th, 2009."

Thanks for the music. See you when you get back home, boys.
