Re: Indie Album Reviews: Andrew Bird & The Mysterious Production of Eg
I saw him last Fall 05 in Pittsburgh, though his show isn't very high energy (due to his type of music and not his performance) it was unreal. It was just him and a guy who played drums and messed around with a keyboard.
It was easily the best performance I've ever seen. It's amazing to see him start out something on guitar, loop it or whatever, and then quickly switch to violin. I particularly enjoyed quick switches from playing the violin normally, to plucking it like a mandolin.
His control over his whistle is outrageous and he is a very down to earth guy, my friends and I got to talk to him for a little while after the show since it was pretty small. He has a very "eccentric genius" or "mad scientist" type of personality in my opinion
