This time we made the journey home (for me) to Birmingham to see them at the grand opening show for the new Tuscaloosa amphitheater. If you live close to Tuscaloosa, I recommend checking it out. It is a really nice outdoor venue.
The show was sold out but we were good as we had bought our tickets a while back. No surprise that the Avett brothers are selling out more shows now that they performed on the Grammys with bob Dylan and Mumford and sons. The real kicker here was that the opener for TAB was Band of Horses! Yes an epic show.
We were in the general admission pit (normally we would prefer seats) cause we brought our dancing shoes with us this night.
It was a bit funny for me as someone coming from living in auburn for 5 years to go to a show in Tuscaloosa. I must say that T-town was much more diverse than auburn. A strange mixture of rednecks and wanna-be hipsters. I am used to all boys with long hair in the front wearing polo shirts and khakis and girls dressed to the 9's. Not the case this night. I was pleasantly surprised.
Funniest moment of the night was when we asked this dude sitting down if the pizza he was eating was good on a scale of 1 to 10. He responded "like with pizza hut being a 10?"
Nevermind. :)
I definitely wanted to see that show and jealous of the fact that T-Town got such a nice venue..
ReplyDeleteDon't give T-Town too much credit for their diversity because it has been over 10 years since you partied at the AU (That i know about). T-town still blows ass.. ;-)
Very pumped at the shows the upcoming months are bringing and wish Avett Bros and BOH would stop back by nashville again soon!
See ya'll in the NO!
