I love them. Never even heard of them until I went to Newport Folk Festival in August. They are not only talented, but they get the audience going. LOve them!!! This was an old video eh?
It takes a lot of hubris, courage & confidence, to cover a song that is one of the signature songs of a legend. How can you do better? The answer is to practically make it into a different song, with imagination and creativity (and instruments). This is a terrific cover, perfromed by some courageous young men, who roll down the window and let the wind blow back their hair, and pull it off beautifully. Congratulations and thank you.
I might sound old but it's so cool to live in an age when we can see this stuff. 20 years ago all the cool fringe stuff like this was rarely available or was buried on some rarity import. Now I can watch this twice a week as if I owne the CD. Man, I'm glad I don't have to trade tapes any more.
nah, i just don't understand why people can't enjoy music for what it is. this is music. Let the politicians fight with each other, and let us enjoy music together. Avett Brothers... great band. CAROLINA REPRESENT!!!
This is a real pick me up! A person can't help but feel a little better after watching this video. TAB was really into what they were doing here. All had a good time. How can we not love it?
Just found this band from a music post on a blog. I can't quit listening, These guys are a mellow version of the Violent Femmes. They'll be playing at Ohio University in February, I'm there man.
Anytime you can throw a cello and a banjo, cello and bass fiddle onto a Springsteen song it's alright with me! I love the "WHOO!" at 2:10 . Great job guys!
I liked the original song already pretty much but this version is simply awesome. This video has put the Avett Brothers on my musical radar. Thanks, Bruce!
I listened to this for 4 hours straight while typing my paper, turns out an i got a 97- the avett brothers have improved my grades, what more could i ask for!
For some reason the phrase that came to mind is "Slappin the bass" from I Love You Man! :P Have heard the Avetts once before and they didn't register - heard them again this morning and it was - WOW! Trying to hunt down the CDs now.
They were going to be international without the "boss" providing them a forum. Check out all of the live performances already on youtube. The avett brothers will be touring with dave matthews band in the spring. Listen to their other stuff!
Perhaps...it depends on the song. He himself acknowledges his voice isn't the best...it is his passion, the power in his music and his unbelievable delivery that makes him the boss (nickname he hates..given in the days when they played bars and such and he divvied up the pay). Live, even at 64...3.5 plus hour show, not stops, crowd surfs, up on piano, sign requests....sometimes a perfect voice isn't what it is all about. And the writing...good fun like this and speaking for all..The Rising.
Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Greetings from Barcelona!
That's awesome! The best "garage" band ever...lol These guys are my new favorite band. Love their work. Can't wait til I get to see them live. When are they coming back up to Indy?
Myself being a huge Springsteen and E-Street fan, I'm amazed at the little gems one can find. Great job boys!
I want to sit and watch the Avetts cover every song I've ever heard.
Scott with a banjo, harmonica, and a kick drum!! Killin it!!! That's too awesome!! I can't take it, haha!!
I love them. Never even heard of them until I went to Newport Folk Festival in August. They are not only talented, but they get the audience going. LOve them!!! This was an old video eh?
Oh man,I'm a gigantic Bruce fan but also an Avett Brothers fan. This is just heaven.

My dad has been a devoted fan of The Boss since the seventies so I always make him listen to this. My favorite band covering his favorite band.

time flies when you listen to the avetts
GO AVETT BROS!!!! How great is it to see these guys grow as they have been!! this is just amazing!!!
Pretty much the only time I've ever willingly listened to a Springsteen song. Love these boys!
This made me smile immensely. The Avett Brothers are so beastly!
Blown away. Too good. You guys are special. Huge bruce fan here. And would LOVE another 1 or 2 covers of his with an Avett spin!
This is a real pick me up! A person can't help but feel a little better after watching this video. TAB was really into what they were doing here. All had a good time. How can we not love it?
I love Bruce Springsteen but I love The Avett Brothers even more! What could be a more perfect combination?
Bob is The Man!!

I was at the show in Chattanooga.. definitely sold out!! The best concert of my life and iv'e seen some pretty awesome bands play
Absolutely brilliant 👏

bob was feelin extra spunky. LOL.
i just adore these guys so much.
He’s a jersey dude like Bruce I believe
these guys are great live. first show i ever saw, down in Pontiac at the Crofoot. good times.
I love it!! The arrangement is just perfect for this song. It feels laidback, tipsy, racuous, and pretty much what they said: "whooooo!"
Love it. See you tomorrow in Motown and then down at Hullabalou! Avetts Road trip baby!!
Wow Bob is enjoying himself!!! Love it
Awesome! I love the Avett Brothers! And the Boss so together that's awesome!.
I liked the original song already pretty much but this version is simply awesome. This video has put the Avett Brothers on my musical radar. Thanks, Bruce!

Great Version!
Bob Crawford, you're my hero.
I'm loving the group harmony in the chorus.
Perhaps...it depends on the song.

I love that Bob got to sing!! Hope Joe will sing next!!
Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
