    I am 74 years old, and I have always bemoaned the fact that I was not born Simon AND Garfunkle. Listening to this duo made me weep for days past. Their harmony, in particular, is so reminiscent of the height of the folk era and Simon and Garfunkle. I have become a huge fan. I hope they stay together for a long, long time and continue to write fantastic, beautiful songs and music.

      @, Beth Resille: Very well put. I've always said I was born too late. I'm 55 & long for the tranquil, almost hypnotic lyrical content missing in today's music world. It's not completely lost but, The Milk Carton Kids have a way with making one feel they've arrived "home" where all is safe & peaceful. I for one have been a huge fan of these fine gentlemen for years. I believe your hope for their longevity will hold true. They're not going anywhere soon. They'll be around for decades to come ! Check out the concert "Live From Here" with, Chris Thile... The special guests will astound you!

    What I love most about the banter parts are the times when Kenneth cracks up along with the audience just listening to the stuff Joey's saying. His expressions during Joey's song introductions are hilarious.
    So glad this video is here on TH-cam, although I would buy it on DVD too because this band deserves all the support. Their songs are truly breathtaking. So many times I expected to hear wild applause right in the middle of a song because it was just that good!

They harnessed the whole theater's energy and just hypnotized the whole crowd for over an hour. Their tone/sound is so sweet, precise and clean, it makes you forget it's only 2 guys with guitars. Pure ear bliss and very funny guys as well!

They are Bob Dylan, Rod McKuen, Peter, Paul and Mary, Donovan and Doug Foster combined, with their own musical HONEY, HONEY stirred in like just the right amount of Brandy in your evening coffee. And w/ a droll, dry delightful injecton of humor to entertain us and cause us to forget trouble outside the walls that protect us. May they continue ad infinitum! Thank you gentlemen. Thank you.

Girlfriend is hating me for it - not because she dislikes the music, she likes it almost as much as I do, but rather because I play it so often - but I can't help it! It's an incredible concert, by an incredible pair of musicians. Such a great connection with the crowd, and amazing music mixed with great humor. Best concert I've ever seen, live or not! I downloaded both of their free albums from their site as well, they have roughly the same stuff that they play here - which I'm not about to complain about!

    Oh my gosh! I* stumbled into this wonderful music and words of these two guys.. They are so GREAT! I am 70 years old---that's old, right? Maybe I/m not TOO old----because I can still hear great music from these super talented guys. Damn, they take their smart for granted. Amazing.

      @@TimothyBIinks To say the least. More like 20 years and wicked insane talent. Truly the most talented guitar player I've ever seen and that's saying something over guys like John Mayer or Tallest Man on Earth, John Butler and all the other nuts players. Especially when it comes to doing absolutely ridiculous stuff that's still melodically perfect, I've never seen anything like it. He finds more uses in quicker time of more scales than I've ever seen by an acoustic guitar player with a pick.

    I had first watched The Milk Carton Kids perform on NPR Tiny Desk Concert a couple of years ago, but got distracted by the more louder Avett Brothers, who then became my favourite ‘new band’.
    Then, a few days ago, I stumbled upon them again, when Molly Tuttle covered their beautiful “Maybe It’s Time”, with the Kids (Joey Ryan & Keith Pattengale) backing her up.
    So, I did some digging and came up with this an hour and thirteen minute long concert that just blew me away. “Michigan” and “Maybe It’s Time” have been playing on repeat since then.
    Damn, it feels good to find something new music one can love.
    Sorry Scott and Seth, you need to rest as bit. Joey and Keith will be keeping me company for a while now. :-)

Aside from being a great background to everyday activities, the run of maybe it's time to girls gather round to Michigan is the perfect balance of heavy emotion and light hearted banter and amazing guitar licks and harmonies. If I'm really feeling down I stick around for the bit about the ampersand and notary public never fails to put a smile on my crying face.

    How beautiful it has been to find these guys. Great songs , great harmonies and I cannot underestimate the blending and timing of their guitar playing. The way Kenneth flat picks, creates a wonderful tension and beauty. It almost sits a millisecond behind to create that triplet feel. Bluegrass meets folk meets entertainment at its best. Thanks guys , a revelation.

But when I listen to it now, after years of doing so, i i can remember driving through the mountains, snow piled up on the sides of the roads, driving to see an old friend. I can smell the car I had at the time. I can smell their house.
    Amazing what a simple song can do.
