I have always been a fan of Andrew Bird since hearing his 2003 album "Andrew Bird & the Mysterious Production of Eggs". Unfortunately, I had never gotten the chance to see him live, nor had I watched any live performances of his... until last night.

Andrew performed 5 songs for Pitchfork TV recently, and the videos absolutely blew my mind. He is playing by himself - with violin, guitar, a loop pedal, and of course his incredible voice and whistling skills.

After seeing these, Andrew Bird is now atop my list of "must see in concert before I die" acts, and these two songs in particular might be the most impressive musical performance I've ever seen.

Cheers!
