@buruno Nah, there are a lot of indie artists who perform exceptional live. You aren't listening to the right stuff I guess? But agree about Andrew, he performs very well live.
Not true at all. I've been to many, many shows over the past 25 years and I can only think of a few they didn't sound great. And I'm sure Mr Bird and his band has off nights.
@buruno ~ New to KEXP, huh? I can say that regardless of whether I "like" a performer's song/style, etc., KEXP seems to show us masters of their respective instruments. If I've listened to 100 of these Live performances, I had previously only heard of one group, Thievery Corporation. Now, after learning of and enjoying many of the others, I listened to their studio recordings, and a great many of them are even better live.
world's trashiest "musician." cant hold a rhythm, extremely pretentious, overall terrible sound. it just goes, people will listen to anything just to feel like they're a part of an "exclusive club."
I could cover the whistling perfectly as I heard it with a bit of delay on the second repeat. This is not hard or I am a genius. Are you two at all familiar with professional whistlers? i am not one but are you familiar at all ? have been exposed to much musical whistling ?
SeinfeId Andrew is incredible, but, interestingly, the world’s greatest whistler was Ronnie Ronalde. The best contemporary whistlers are Ralph Giese and Molly Lewis. I prefer Molly’s melodies, myself.
Madison Cunningham, the guitarist on this session, is an amazing songwriter herself! Check out her album "Who Are You Now"-Bird's influence is often audible.
Just wanted to point this out for people interested in the prelude: The jam from 0:20 to 2:25 eventually leads into the beginning of Sisyphus, but it seems heavily based on the song Ellipses from his second Echolocation album (and maybe a bit of You Woke Me Up! which eventually became Capsized).
I’m DUMBSTRUCK!!!! He sure can WHISTLE UP ANYTHING!!! I can’t tell you how much STUMBLING ON THIS MUSIC HAS HELPED ME IN LIFE!!!! GREAT!!!! JUST AWESOME! Including everyone else that helped do this!!!!
I never thought I would say this but after watching 3 songs this man has the most awesome whistle it sounds like an instrument it's crazy I'm hooked now I want a song with nothing but whistling all the way through LOL 👍 so good 🔥
Thank you kid EXP. I just love this artist and his incredible band. He played the most amazing show that night at the Paramount and I will never forget it. The word that comes to mind when I think of Andrew Bird is versatility (ever since I saw him on TV 13 years ago).
12:58 I do looooove *Andrew Bird's Great Room Collaboration* projects. They are indeed such precious gems!! :) I believe he is a great interviewer as well. This man simply has so much talent.
Love this man's music for over 20 years! Can't get enough Bird! Great performance, as usual. I was a little set back to see him with a guitar instead of a violin, but love the set nonetheless!
I don't remember when I was crying and shouting, even not only inside, last time watching music video. I so love his 2019 record. And such a great pleasure to see it. Amazing man, fantastic musicians, great music. If they could ever visit Russia.
I saw andrew do a solo show where he played his violin with his toes and played a guitar and whistled at the same time. he was alone with no tech except in house. this was at the legendary 1930s art deco turf club in saint paul minnesota. the headline band was the handsome family.
I hate to admit to the GAS I HAVE WASTED JUST SO I CAN HEAR IT ONE MORE TIME! I’m BLUETOOTH CRAZY!! Can switch from ear to vehicle and almost never miss a BEAT!!!!!!!

Madison Cunningham is on guitar. She toured with him this last time. :-)
@@vision_immortal awesome, thanks!
Madison Cunningham is a force of nature herself, incredible voice.
Thank you
Do these friends join him during most performances? They sound great together.
My God, I can't believe how tight they are as a group.
Andrew Szilagyi it’s insane but I guess when you record live you get used to it
absolutely agree. but yet they are still loose enough to flow like it's a jam. trillions of hours of masterwork no doubt
this guy is one of the few indie artists who can still perform both flawlessly and soulfully live

this is trash, lol. no melody, no rhythm, no harmony. it's just noise
Alone or with a full band, Andrew Bird is such a great musician and composer. His music is the best soundtrack for just living.

Worlds greatest whistler?
definitely

Let's not forget about old Roger Whittaker!
That little can’t find my pick intro after that intense musical jamboree was adorable
The man is a wizard.

Absolutely. She did a beautiful album.
Madison and Andrew did Gotholympians and it's amazing
Thanks for the info!
i absolutely love who are you now and got SO EXCITED when i found out she did backing for Andrew!!
These live recordings sound better than many studio albums - fabulous engineering.
Ooo, I love Madison's voice harmonizing with Andrew's whistle

спасибо Костя
Holy crap they are flat-out amazing. Bird is a genius and these virtuosos play together like one organism.
Love this to death. I especially love the fact that Madison is with the band on this. She's such an amazing talent, and is in great company.
I really love how her and Andrew's voices blend together, some amazing harmonies in this performance
I'm glad people like Andrew Bird are still alive.
His live performances never cease to amaze me
Definitely, Andrew Bird makes my life more worth living.
I’m DUMBSTRUCK!!!! He sure can WHISTLE UP ANYTHING!!! I can’t tell you how much STUMBLING ON THIS MUSIC HAS HELPED ME IN LIFE!!!! GREAT!!!! JUST AWESOME! Including everyone else that helped do this!!!!
Wow! been sleeping on Andrew Bird. What a performance! Great musicians all around.
Music for the heart
I never thought I would say this but after watching 3 songs this man has the most awesome whistle it sounds like an instrument it's crazy I'm hooked now I want a song with nothing but whistling all the way through LOL 👍 so good 🔥
Manifest..that song makes me so emotional
Damn, what a talented group of musicians. Especially the drummer... Wow.
That jam at the beginning was beautiful.
Best whistle in the biz! So effortless.. And I wish I had his range!
the best album of the decade
This man and this music makes me weep with joy at the beautiful side of humanity.
So Beautifully expressed as this joy feeds us thru an incredible time of challenge in our World.
This is outstanding. I'm discovering this band for the first time and I am very impressed. Thank you KEXP!
Love the AB musicians. Tight. Never boring... finding the sweet spots. Mighty fine group indeed. Many thanks, for another great show, KEXP.
Absolutely epic. One of my favorite videos of Mr. Bird was the making of Break it Yourself, live in the barn. This is just as good. Excellent music.
God that violin playing....
I LOVE HIM. WHAT A GENIUS.
Thank you kid EXP. I just love this artist and his incredible band. He played the most amazing show that night at the Paramount and I will never forget it. The word that comes to mind when I think of Andrew Bird is versatility (ever since I saw him on TV 13 years ago).
A group of musical genius.
Proxy War has got to be one of my all-time favorites from Andrew Bird!
Mesmerizing performance from the one and only Mr. Andrew Bird
One of my favourite musicians ever. Thank you for the treat!!
that whistle... and that band... and that BIRD!!
Wow, this is amazing. Love this whole album
THANK YOU KEXP you are so amazing. You never fail to highlight the amazing artists out there.
Amazing songwriter, amazing tight band, amazing whistler... Andrew Bird is the best!!!
Again: Engineer Tom Hall just nails the sound
Such a gem was found! Thanks to KEXP for spreading good music around and bring the life up
What a beautiful paradise bird!
Huge wow, kexp has opened up new opportunities to find hidden gems from the US, this is a priceless find. Super slick
Awesome, I adore Andrew Bird. 😍🐦
You better Andrew!!! Great stuff!
Show him playing at SNFCC in Athens a few months ago. Man what a great performance it was! And his musicians are amazing.
The first two minutes of video is the perfect evolution of Ellipses from Echolocations: River
Proxy War is probably the best song this man has ever made
you need to listen to pulaski at night
You need to listen to the song see the enemy (anonaminal)
He has so many great songs I wouldn't even know how to rank them
imho it's a little awkward compared to his other songs
Man I am in love with his music.
So wonderful!
Musically, lyrically and in all ways!
so HAPPY
Thank u
The missing pick/pick throw moment is classic! Such an interesting Dude! Kudos to the camera man/woman for picking that up!
12:58 I do looooove *Andrew Bird's Great Room Collaboration* projects. They are indeed such precious gems!! :)
I believe he is a great interviewer as well. This man simply has so much talent.
Probably the best KEXP session to ever exist. Thank you so much.
amazing musicians composition
those percussionists are amazing!
Andrew bird live is as good as any studio musician!!! 🙌💪
Love this man's music for over 20 years! Can't get enough Bird! Great performance, as usual. I was a little set back to see him with a guitar instead of a violin, but love the set nonetheless!
I just love this man!
Wonderful songs, brilliant performance
If you can name a more creative, talented and dedicated musician than Mr. Bird, please do. I'm always interested in new music.
trey anastasio
This is the first time I’ve heard Bird and it definitely reminds me of Father John Misty.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Stu McKenzie. But...Andrew Bird is a genius as well. its an apples to oranges comparison.
khruangbin
Me Same here!!
Andrew Bird is underrated as a musician. Cheers to the band as well.
Lovely music
This is one of my all time favourite videos on TH-cam oh my! I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched this
This is just amazing to watch, amazing to listen and amazing to feel by any time 🙌🏼
I saw him in St. Paul last year, and it was just incredible. I wish that he'd do more live versions of "Archipelago", though.
Man I wish I knew he was coming, I always miss out on concerts I want to go to because I don't hear about them haha
A masterful performance.
I’m going to have to LISTEN AGAIN AND MAYBE PICK A FAVORITE!!! 🎵🦋🎶🦄😜
this sounds so amazing! my favorite thing is seeing Bird and all of the musicians he’s playing with having such a good time jamming out :D
amazing!!!!!
I don't remember when I was crying and shouting, even not only inside, last time watching music video. I so love his 2019 record. And such a great pleasure to see it. Amazing man, fantastic musicians, great music. If they could ever visit Russia.
Sounds like David Byrne!!! Awesome!!! Love it!!! Would be cool at the Paramount!!! Great acoustics there!!!
Una Joya nunca antes vista!! Me da placer disfrutar un buen vino escuchando su buena musica. 😊 Desearia verlos en Argentina algun dia.
This music just takes me away. Andrew Bird my mans, now I see why you're a perfectionist:)
One man doesn't like to answer questions, one man just wants to whistle.
i'd only heard him sing & hearing him talk i was like "oh damn he's got a deep voice" lol
Great songs, great performance, great artist, love it!
It was worth clicking on this video just for the moment where he realises he doesn't have a pick. So smoothly handled!
Thank you for your plectrum gift, Alan. 😅
So great that Madison has joined you too... J'adore 💛
Only love! Tank you!
This session sounds amazing! Kudos to Mr. Hall.
Really wonderful in so many ways! I’m a new fan!
I like this music...a lot
OK - that's just a ridiculously good live whistle!

That was the greatest intro Sisyphus
