Me and my girlfriend went to see the Avett Brothers in Paradiso Amsterdam last august.

A truly wonderfull and most excellent show but somehow a "Dave Grohl/Foo Fighters" moment snuck in there. Some guy in the audience picked a fight with another guy and they started to brawl so Scott stopped the band for a moment and politely asked what was going on and why those guys were fighting (unlike Dave Grohl who threw the word f#ck and motherf#cker in there a bunch of times). So after things cooled down a bit, they continued where they left off, which was this song and as if it was all part of the show, the lines "I used all my words to fight" .... "oh but it's such a waste of time" followed seconds after the event. That obviously made the audience applaud the way the Avett Brothers solved this situation.

Sadly enough some people think it's no problem to disturb a great show for something as stupid as fighting, on the other hand, it's great when a band feels so connected to the audience and acts on situations like that. It makes it much more intimate that way... An unforgettable night it was, the useless fight aside...
