Wasn't this his last show before going on sabbatical? Sad. It's so odd that his list of tour dates on his webpage is totally blank now...

I had the incredible luck to be able to meet him after this concert. He told me that he was hanging his hat up in LA for a while and would be popping up at venues sporadically, but no more hard ticket sales for a while. Two days ago he did small venue in LA called 'The Largo'. Sold out instantly. He played only songs he'd written in the last 3 months or were at least 10 years old. Be on the lookout and check his tour dates often. You might get lucky like I did :)

I don't think it's fair to say that someone can be embodied by a single style. He is a musician and the term embodies many facets, including jazz, blues, folk, ect. People get bored.

Is this a remake of the jazz song he made with the same title?

[OtterFreak]

yep, just a re-working of the original song. same lyrics.

I see, never heard it before. It's good. But I think it's sad at the same time to see Andrew Bird leaving his roots with jazz, occasional blues (like Fatal Flower Garden) and traditional folk. This song is folk-ish, but a lot of his new songs are very pop-like and not as unique as Andrew really can be.
