Andrew Bird - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@filiptomic8531]

A whistling violinist has no business being this amazing

[@Sunnfloweropposum]

Andrew’s whistle is possibly so amazing that when i first started listening to his music I actually believed it was a theremin

[@codyhughes1147]

I love watching his facial expressions. You can tell the music really lifts and guides him. It looks like hes having a lot of fun here.

[@masonraines1414]

I've been a singer songwriter for years, and every time I listen to Andrew Bird, I consider starting completely over and trying to do it (songwriting) better.

This performance of Roma Fade is a treasure. And that bassist is sheer ear candy. FINE FINE clutch of artists here. Bravo!

[@adonimad]

the story behind "Roma Fade" is so touchy! you can feel it when he start performing it

[@geraldmorain3166]

In my 68 years i salute

[@wildbird78]

Saw this same lineup at High Sierra Fest 2017. One of the best performances I've seen. At one point during the set, the guitarist was playing off on a wonderful little solo part, and he began to just get lost in the music. Andrew had to finally step out into his view and remind him that they eventually had to end the song. Seeing that musician literally get lost in the music and drift off into another world, forgetting where he was was one of the coolest things I've ever seen live, and what makes me stay so in love with live music.

[@lfcambotta]

Cheryl's interest and knowledge of the great musician she's interviewing have impressed me since the first time I've watched this. What a gift of a video, what a beautiful moment of life this recording symbolises to me.

[@pukala1958]

I follow Andrew Bird right from the start of his career. What a gift to have his music around.

[@mrsmelons5553]

Music of Hair is one of my favorite albums ever! Not his earliest, but pre-whistle...

[@EEE-ij8lv]

Andrew Bird is a top three favorite of mine. Of all time. And that's saying a LOT because I love a wiiiiiiide variety of music.

[@KJFalcon]

Who else is in your top tier?

[@biancaayuri1341]

their vibing in the capsized bridge is everything there is

[@Pippi-rippi]

His music has so much soul, so much emotion. I'm completely infatuated with his art

[@strahtreped1030]

This is sooo cool, the sound of this guy is so wonderfully unique and fresh

[@jpconnolly831]

Thank you KEXP, I knew Andrew Bird would soon be back. The only way Andrew sounds better is when Kevin Suggs mixes it. This sounds fantastic!!! Everything sounds so crystal clear and the niche sounds Andrew uses sound so well balanced with this mix nothing gets buried!!! You guys gotta a handle on this and its fantastic!!!

[@mountainhobbit1971]

if you enjoyed this you should check out his NPR Tiny Desk Concert he just recently did, it is really amazing, all acoustic…I thought the bass was a bit too loud throughout this KEXP mix and that I could not hear the bass guitarist's or drummer's voice well enough honestly.

[@urgamecshk]

yea, i like the NPR version better. The violin tone in this one makes it sound out of tune with everyone else and nasally.

[@mountainhobbit1971]

Julius Jahn I completely agree…that NPR performance is fantastic! And the sound is mixed perfectly for my personal tastes.

[@HMohr]

Tasty drummer. Nice grooves

[@1976DSCH]

Andrew is a breath of fresh air! I love these performances and I listen to Andrew on a loop!!!

[@yasuewho]

Who can get enough of these LIVE performances?? Not this ol' crow! Caw caw I'm serious!! *~©~* This is a particulate, Particular flavor though... Great interview, sound Space, humans being Music Grace! Pure joy, deep thought Handy thing, at least i thought!! ~©~ Caw!! Caw!! Caw caw!! */crow clapping continues* ....,......,.... ...,...,.... ...,...,.... *';;;;;;' awooo!*

[@leticiamarti5236]

She's SO into Andrew, lovely ✨

[@beribeni]

Who isn't? Also Cheryl is amazing as well!

[@theforeverpuddle8754]

I've played classical violin for 25 years and Andrew Bird makes me reconsider everything I ever thought was possible on violin. Love it. Capsized reminds so much of something else but I can't place it.

[@Queue28]

I'm gonna guess it might be Bill Withers. Capsized has a very strong Use Me vibe.

[@shardialiify]

You can see why KEXP is such a great channel. Just look at their staff, her energy is so nice and warm. It is always about the people.

[@aguaclaramusica]

God, how i love his music! thanks KEXP for bringing him back again :)

[@valerielefort4802]

I have the chills

[@graylee9273]

Live version is way better than album one.

[@OurNeighborsCat]

Awww yeah

[@samuellicarla6212]

listen to tiny desk version

[@mde6006]

Tiny desk performance is way better. This is funky but when he's stripped back, wow!

[@alexanderyoon9163]

@Roger Salme The way he says "or is the word obtuse" in the desk version makes that version for me.

[@APatchworkCanvas]

@@mde6006 Roma fade on that set is crazy

[@samwallaceart288]

Seeing this and Regina Spektor's performance/interview, I gotta say I have a lot of respect for KEXP's production quality and taste in guest performers.

[@CrustyWhiteBread]

'Left Handed Kisses' with Fiona is sooooooo good....But that said Andrew can sure play the fuk out of that song on his own. Bravo.

[@jonbrown842]

amazing music clearly, but what a beautiful interview...

[@ogenmatic]

Brilliant! Excellent band, interview, audio, & video

[@KagamineMegumi]

Okay, this is beyond amazing! It gets so mysterious to me how he manages to craft these original and playful pieces 🌸

[@Leeloo.says.Multipass]

Bring old Andrew back! ...the music that sings like a book

[@WhyDoIPlayGolf]

ingrate

[@Leeloo.says.Multipass]

+Straight Grizzzly If I wanted to listen to Bill Withers, I'd click on him.

[@BlissDelight69]

Why didn't you click on "Old Andrew"? Andrew is making great music. Artists have the right to pursue new sounds and explore. Let the art do art. The rest of us can enjoy this video and continue to be Andrew Bird fans.

[@Leeloo.says.Multipass]

+Tai Taitano When you start gaining fame, you're told what to do. This album screams that. Back in Feb during his "unofficial" release in dtla, he made a comment around the lines of, "they made me rewrite the song", speaking in regards to forgetting the intro to one of the songs. This dude is too talented to be told what to do. Weather Systems ('03) was the album that captured me. Just look at his track record since... then you'll get why I'm jazzing things up.

[@BlissDelight69]

Well my last comment (sleep deprived and cranky) Your opinion is valid, so I apologize for the negativity. I agree with you, that album is amazing (Sovay is one of my favorite songs). But I'm a huge fan of all of his albums. They're all really different. But I honestly don't think his record label is telling him what to do. Loma Vista has a roster of artists that are constantly changing it up. Andrew also has one of the most outrageously "out" drummers right now. I think Andrew wanted to make an accessible album, but that's just me.

[@rachelwhite124]

He's perfect!

[@johannestrankner836]

so in love with this session. they are all great, but guitar is a 10 out of 10. really fucking awesome dude.

[@chperrone]

so clear, so beautiful, so precise

[@alexe8370]

Love Bird's earnestness. Such a pleasure.

[@BrickDavis]

Andrew bird how is it that you are this darn good, It feels so good to watch and listen to you in the wee hours of this night.

[@horrified871]

LOVE the last song with whistle and Violin.

[@walterpalima6122]

Bittersweet, melodic, and hauntingly beautiful !!! I love it !!!

[@bitterbum1]

seeing him in asheville in a couple months. I am looking forward to it soooo much

[@stefanmarraccini8646]

I have not exposed myself to much of him. Loved the song Measuring Cups. Blown away, must explore.

[@jakew209]

Love Andrew, thanks for bringing him back!

[@minmaxd_]

Andrew was looping the violin, so Ted had to up the intensity of his drumming to follow along.

[@mairiamonitino6637]

LEGEND❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You are totally good. Voice to collect

[@jennypenland128]

Come to DC or Baltimore in 2023!

[@rebeccacarlin6103]

The necklace the srummer is wearing looks like my dad's partner's work. I'm sure loads of people work in this style, but you don't see it that often. My chain mail necklace is my favorite one to wear!

4 years late but Cheryl Waters, as per the caption of the video.

[@RyanDavidHale]

A great Bird Performance! Any idea what that thing around the drummers neck is? Looks like a wool woven necklace!!

[@geraldmorain3166]

The whine of the coal crusher bearings, the wine of the juice of humanity

[@czarnagaleria]

[@wyattjerome3735]

I think the video's chapter are labelled incorrectly. Or at least I am not sure what they're supposed to mean :p

[@rvnicot]

belles voix instrumental intemporel

[@DeadDave50]

Some tight shit

[@younghappy]

10:00 He can still swing.

[@joondaluparts]

Nobody's going to mention the Angus Young Gibson SG?!?!?!?!?

[@FernandoMedinaDrummer]

That tune Capsized is very Bill Withers. That's obviously a good thing.

[@kennyfattsoo]

this is unrelated to the brilliant music, but does anyone know where andrew bird got his sweater?
