Andrew Bird - "Skin, Is My" - Live at Bonnaroo

[@mofolotopo]

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

[@beenzini]

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.

[@kungfumosquito]

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

[@chantoke]

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

[@nikilaine_]

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

[@fishguy9704]

Over 15 years, wow

[@reillyse]

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

[@mschuler15]

never have i seen another man possessed so much by music

[@Mynameispigeon]

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

[@nanarockband]

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

[@charmister]

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

[@PantomimeMakeup]

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..

[@Cactus78]

This is so charmingly different.

[@Melodyyrdz]

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

[@ryanloughlin3485]

9 years later, did you get to see him?!

[@granjerojose]

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.

[@Syncopat1oN]

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.

[@zack44ist]

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

[@peopleorthings]

fucking Dosh on the drums, helllll yes

[@jasminmommy]

Beautiful!! I really love this performance :)

[@3transfat]

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

[@malgacho]

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

[@spooninspoon]

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

[@kpta7]

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

[@TheCalliopeSky]

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

[@nomadicroots]

I love this man.

[@IAmRedherrings]

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

[@oatmealfight]

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

[@mdkruse2]

I was there!

[@sixthlife]

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

[@EIAercle]

This is true music.

[@benmberman]

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

[@degraff19er]

See you at Bonnaroo in a few months!

[@fairie1979]

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

[@nonindividual]

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

[@beninatorskater]

"what a lovely sound" indeed Mr. Bird.

[@i4gotmyname12]

could not agree more my friend

[@smashcityplastic]

such an amazing musician!

[@thepropolys]

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

[@jasminmommy]

Glad to know you liked it Alan :)xo

[@ddaviddd2640]

oh what a lovely sound oh how it shakes the ground

[@joemoma516]

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

[@daaacc]

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

[@kikidolls]

Mesmerizing!!!

[@brentjamesonparker]

It's all about DOSH. He makes this.

[@ETILHK54]

This man should be at woodstock in 1969

[@raywaldo06]

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...

[@Kaarenteles]

This is amaze me :) He is greaaaat

[@gggnarly]

class tune

[@CandyCane]

I wanna go to Bonnaroo!!

[@notimportantatalllll]

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

[@PatrickKiebzak]

Ill see you mannnn!

[@Gofu]

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

[@killasinumbers]

Yo más!!

[@mckillustrator]

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

[@maniacguitar]

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.

[@micaromulo]

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

[@22351423]

מדהים ....

[@SkyRiverTV]

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

[@jnddancelover]

i hav a jazz dance 2 this song

[@johnedwardhunt]

see you all AGAIN :D

[@loosebrooseable]

that guitar solo is somehow charming.

[@kpta7]

AMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@petuniareikiaviki]

Tmb

[@ditditler]

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

[@splitter1901]

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!

[@mildlysupernatural]

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!

[@333matt333CHII]

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

[@GuMkAkAciK]

[@justa16thnote]

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

[@CaptainRorbang]

agreed

[@BigPerm5000]

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...

[@Ryank1908]

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

[@gerberdaisies]

@qtpieresse DOUBLE dat!

[@Laryodienhizer]

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

[@Optikaliluznz]

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

[@Valueclown]

that sound is him plucking his violin like a guitar.

[@gerberdaisies]

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

[@BerryGlitter]

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

[@14brad]

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

[@MoJingly]

@chessmeister that's an interested thought.

[@ellomenn0]

check out- el ten eleven

[@MoJingly]

@chessmeister that's an interesting thought.

[@oskarhurtig]

This kinda reminds me of the doors :O

[@guitarguy974]

@spooninspoon *popular music

[@ferociousfrankie]

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

[@crogerscp]

Marry me, Mr. Bird.

[@devinsullivan]

[@PDofA]

HAHAHAHAHAHA GOOD ON YOU

[@ElectricBird]

BAMF

[@ddaviddd2640]

[@maniacguitar]

[@granjerojose]

[@idiotequedemos]

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

[@justa16thnote]

HE'S SO SKINNY

[@alecjahn]

With Brad Pitt on drums, its...

[@arjunpanda126]

Squirrel Nut Zippers

[@matdddd]

and

[@Kboil]

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

[@carambola920]

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.

[@theseanze]

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?

[@Farfo]

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