I live in Charlotte and planned a vacation to Cali around this show and the show in Hollywood. Although both were great, the energy at Solana Beach was incredible. The Belly Up Tavern is a unique place and I hope the Avetts go back because the fans love it (really loud cheers for Carolina in Salina). They played a lengthy, awesome set and they killed:

Shame
Paranoia in Bb Major
Ballad of Love and Hate
Pretty Girl from San Diego
When I Drink
November Blue
Backwards with Time
Nothing Short of Thankful
Signs
The Greatest Sum (with crazy Guild electric guitar)
Salina
Old Joe Clark
Wanted Man
Will You Return
And It Spread
a new song (about all things coming to pass)
a new song (about what keeps them coming home)
a new song (miss the feeling of feeling)
The New Love Song
Salvation Song

I brought three family members who had never seen the Avetts and they flipped out... nothing but big smiles. You guys rocked and added a few more fans.
