Harrah’s Stir Cove in Council Bluffs, Iowa hosted a concert by The Avett Brothers last night. Thursday’s show began with the band paying tribute to Tom Petty by covering one of his classic songs.
The Avetts kicked off their set with a performance of “You Don’t Know How It Feels,” the hit single on Petty’s 1994 solo effort Wildflowers. It was one of two covers performed last evening as a few songs later the band offered a rendition of George Jones’ “The Race Is On.”
