The mere existence of Andrew Bird is unfair to every other musician alive. The talent oozing from this man is inhuman.

This show would be a good reason to build a time machine.

Even though maybe Bird isn't the greatest guitarist in the world, it all just clicks. Everything fits perfectly in the song's style. Such an amazing musician.

part of bird's live presence is that he can do on stage what most artists need a computer and three other musicians to pull off also he loves music and it just shows

never have i seen another man possessed so much by music

I'm seriously addicted to him. So weird since I've never met him but I can't stop listening to his music. lol

wow, the drummer i s truly amazing. he really works

Over 15 years, wow

This is so charmingly different.

god I love this guy, hands down the best whistler in the world.

fucking Dosh on the drums, helllll yes

I wish there was 8 of him so he could make a superband

I like how his whole body moves when he plays a different note at the start. [: It both amuses me and shows me how much he is absorbed in his music..

Bird is just amazing..there's no need to argue if we all agree with that fact.

I large part of it is that he does all the looping live, in a studio he has the freedom to do whatever he wants, when you're on stage with a loop station, you're far more limited. Yet, in that you find that Andrew Bird is an artist, not just a musician.

That's the most head banging I've ever seen while picking a violin. Andrew Byrd is incredible.

This man should be at woodstock in 1969

First time I've heard this guy. Instant fan. Thank you.

I was there!

I can't miss out on his new tour, I CANNOT. Determined for Andrew Bird to be my first concert.

Oh my god, he is AMAZING live... Damn... I so regret not going to see him live, he sounds soo great here. I like how he tends to go for a new melody every perfomance too, makes his stuff never get old.

how can that be?! luv that man...

Andrew Bird is awesome. In a time where music sucks he shines

I love this man.

"what a lovely sound" indeed Mr. Bird.

I'm glad someone with your name has such music taste.

The ad before this clip was insane (in a good way)!! LOVE his sense of melody, style, and rhythm, very unique.

I wish I had a direct feed from Andrew Bird's brain into my own. I am ecstatic !!!

His songs usually do convey a specific meaning if you set aside a few minutes to think about it. Being stubborn never solved anything.

He whistles like only an angel could. Go my little canary, whistle my darling.

I love the drums in all of his songs, the way the change dynamically throughout the song...

This is true music.

See you at Bonnaroo in a few months!

Incredible talent. I'm grateful he gets to share it with us in this our time.

could not agree more my friend

ya drummer really fills in the energy for the live set. wow violin is really appealing all of a sudden. loving the violin out of a classical sense and into this experimental usage. ROCKINTRIGUE

It's all about DOSH. He makes this.

Beautiful!! I really love this performance :)

Awesome video. This song gets stuck in my head so much. Also, I love the pose at 1.19

oh what a lovely sound oh how it shakes the ground

such an amazing musician!

Glad to know you liked it Alan :)xo

Mesmerizing!!!

He was doing an interview at the U of Mn, and although it was sold out, they let me in the back door.... I got to shake his hand, nearly wet myself...

This is amaze me :) He is greaaaat

Thats pretty awesome. I can't wait to lisen to him live in toronto :)

Yo más!!

class tune

that guitar solo is somehow charming.

מדהים ....

I wanna go to Bonnaroo!!

es muy bueno, no es verdad? Me encanta como canta...Muy originale!

When did I not say what you just said? I specifically wrote that life is learned through experiences. Experiences include other people too don't they'? Knowledge is power, but wisdom is king. Knowledge isn't wisdom, its like thinking, but not having any consciousness about anything at all. Two very different things which if you don't fully understand them you will never be able to transcend.

i can imagine... has a great beat to it.

a true freak (: frequency is still alive people. ((incredible sensation))

the drummer's name is Martin Dosh? impressive drumming using the organ, very creative, they soung great together

i hav a jazz dance 2 this song

Ill see you mannnn!

Dosh has 3 solo albums, you should definitely check 'em out. And you're right, he is amazing.

AMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i think he won like an international or national whistling contest actually

agreed

see you all AGAIN :D

@beninatorskater Angels don't whistle, they hum. Frankly, Andrew has surpassed godliness with whistling.

@qtpieresse DOUBLE dat!

he made that sound with a violin?? i was wondering which instrument they used. andrew bird is so talented.

Where did those steel conga drums come from? I was watching Dosh and he was doing a whole other thing. Oh yea, that was the fucking fiddle! Holy smokes, so amazing, crazy good!

You mean that plucking? Check out Laura Cortese, btw.. Andrew is class, though. When I travel over to the US next year I'll be sure to go see his show!

@joemoma516 Yeah, martin dosh. He's an extremely talented drummer, really tight, and really creative.

@spooninspoon that's because he's actually musically educated -he's not a hack.

hes the only guy i know that plays violin like that. haha. hes good though i like all of his stuff.

@Username00071 - Neh- Beck's a skinny guy too. For some reason I my an exception when a musician can sound like this :D

@chessmeister that's an interested thought.

Agreed. I was into Dosh way before I heard of Andrew Bird, not to say that Andrew isn't talented in his own way; I just like Martin's stuff a lot better...

a couple times when he held his whistle for a few seconds it sounded like an alien spaceship lol

@brentjamesonparker Sure, you just try playing some Bird loop sequences, have fun

that sound is him plucking his violin like a guitar.

check out- el ten eleven

@spooninspoon *popular music

Oh, you're music. It makes other music look dull. But that's just me :)

BAMF

I hear lots of Bowie influence. He's an 80s kid...

This kinda reminds me of the doors :O

why?

Marry me, Mr. Bird.

HAHAHAHAHAHA GOOD ON YOU

his violin skills a far superior to his guitar skills! haha

wtf? christ comments on a andrew bird song? lulz

and

HE'S SO SKINNY

i think he's done

Squirrel Nut Zippers

LOL

With Brad Pitt on drums, its...

I too love his music, he's so skinny i hope he doesn't end up like another rocker heroin addict.

este tío está reventao de la cabeza. Anda que no mola...

Andrew Bird is my favorite artist, but why is it that his studio recordings are so bad compared to his live stuff? His live shows are amazing, but when you here the cd tracks his voice sounds like he's mumbling and some of the songs are completely different (ahem... plasticities). I'm not insulting Andrew Bird, I just think he needs a better studio to record his stuff.

The looped fiddle plucking and rhythm is an interesting start but the rest is patheic. Nice ability to vibrato whistle but its all completely superficial, where's the music?

He looks kinda skeletal.
