Andrew Bird - "Tables & Chairs" - Live at Bonnaroo

[wlmdnlp]

only andrew bird could play a guitar with a xylophone mallet

[justa16thnote]

I want Andrew Bird's armageddon, not that shitty 666 crap.

[BehindTheSea29]

I love Andrew's crowds, they're always so friendly looking and peaceful, with gentle swaying. It's nice.

[LivyBear95]

Five people don't get snacks...

[clemdarlingmusic]

I've been modeling most of my music around the sounds Andrew Bird masterfully creates. What he does is amazing.

If any of you have a moment, I'd be interested to hear what others think of my music. I have a music video on my channel. Let me know what you think!

[nonindividual]

Looks like I'm going to be on an all-night Andrew Bird bender on YouTube. Damn you Andrew Bird!

[nysalor]

Is this the best song about the Apocalypse ever? Only 'Nothing But Flowers' comes close. Friendship, new beginnings, and snacks. There will be snacks.

[GneralTsao]

@nysalor Josh Ritter's "Temptation of Adam" is the only other one that comes close.

[noellet90]

3:20 :)

[TheLimeyLord]

Is it me or are there no girls in the crowd? o.O

Anyway, amaaazing song, great performance... love Andrew Bird.

[JiSquirrell]

@TheLimeyLord 3:38  Is that not a girl?

[JiSquirrell]

@TheLimeyLord 3:38 I see three girls here.

[LoftNuthouse]

How happy is the girl in the hat knowing that there will be snacks ?

Wonderful stuff.

[xSplatterPaintx]

He whistles better than my parakeet.

[NmHman127Nugget]

this is absolutely strange

[peace4allyo]

man, this song is so intense. I don't know how I've never come across it before, but hearing it for the first time live is just incredible. I recommend this for any new Bird listeners.

[NmHman127Nugget]

he just like shut the fuck up about global warming is what he just said

[BananaBreadMakesMe]

Listen to the way he whistles. It sounds like a whippoorwill.

Man, I wish I could whistle.

[grrgrrl]

this song makes me cry everytime i hear it

its so hopeful, you know?

[carmendamic]

quest'uomo e artista meraviglioso col suo fischiottino !?!?

[RosecrantzTheSpy]

[TheNamingOfThings]

[xxpeyotedragon]

[crogerscp]

[zuriku]

[jjbandgeek]

[stuffstuff9]

why did you watch this then?

[zuriku]

Man i wish i could have been there, I hope this dude is around when i get older because i'd really want to take that special girl to one of his concerts,

[sanjay926]

Andrew Bird IS my special girl

[tiggeryash]

An insane person doesn't have the ability to sense what others do not. Being different from others does not constitute insanity. It is a disease. A sickness. Hoarding money means not spending it. If one then spends it on 'crap' he doesn't NEED, maybe it's spent on what he WANTS. Who are you to say where others spend their money? He is not hoarding, he's saving. Bird isn't 'different', just dull and boring. Also he's insane.

[biggeryash]

I agree, an insane person doesn't have special abilities that come with the illness as a package. Being mentally ill doesn't make a person 'different' than others any more than having diabetes or any physical make a person 'different' other than the obvious difference the illness might make of course.

[nadineryland]

HAHAHA,

you agree to yourself?

the only friends are your piggery's, and tiggery's.

a.k.a - yourself!

[biggeryash]

I am biggeryash, other user have agreed with me such as morethansparrows and grandeur. What is your problem with that?

[nadineryland]

Are you trying to say that you were neither previously associated with the "tiggeryash" or "piggeryash" accounts?

LIE!

[biggeryash]

I was originally piggeryash and I closed that account down myself because part of the name: 'pig' was bringing lots of insults: piggy, pig-rash, you get the picture. So in order to keep my identity somewhat I changed it to 'tiggeryash' because I'm a bit of a tiger.Then you reported me, for I still don't know what and that account got suspended. OK?

[biggeryash]

Again nadine, please, I may have opinions that you think are unfounded, but please don't slot me in with those other iggeryashes. They are not my friends, I don't know who they are and don't want to, they are horrible.

[nadineryland]

I would LOVE to say I believe you, but with the evidence of your non-satisfying hunger of cutting down Bird and his fans, I'd have to say that's nearly impossible. You are like a starving wild dog in the night. At this point, you'll have to prove it.

[biggeryash]

I have gained a great deal of respect for you and I think I have learned something as well. For a while I thought you were simply intent on bashing me for my differences in opinions, but now I realise you were just defending you own views. I won't pretend to be something I'm not, but I SWEAR, I'm not those other iggeries that are so vile. I hope I never sound like them. Disgusting.

[tiggeryash]

All you sick bird fans are infected by the contagious insanity of this crazy bird.I know you will try to single me out as an asshole for bringing it up but that is a chance I'm willing to take.Small price to pay for the good that can come from taking my advice.Try it for a week,don't listen to any bird,then when you go back to it you will see what I mean.

[machineinindia]

You should go walk in the park sometime. People who walk in the park tend to not be assholes.

[sanjay926]

as a jogger im calling you out. tommorow, 2 pm, next to the tree behind the swings. ill see u there

[pooopdick]

great fuckin song

[piggeryash]

Really poooopdick,great fucking song,great pooopdick ?Did you try it?Is that how your dick got poopy ? I saw bird the other day at a traffic light staring at the sky with his finger in his nose,picking away.You could have offered him a spoon.What was he looking for in there?Material for his next song.

[KGibson9000]

I love how he plays the guitar with the mallet at one point (4:20 I think).

"Sweet and savory both, okay? So don't worry."

[arjunpanda126]

i got the biggest chills at "there will be snacks"

I dont know why.

[piggeryash]

Arjunpanda126,I'll tell you why you got chills.When a sickness tries to overtake you,your immune system takes all your heat inside your body to try to burn away the impurities.When bird's insanity comes through to you via the vehicle of crazy lyrics and mad out of tune and nonsensical arrangements it makes people sick,just as good classical music soothes babies and adults and makes cows give more milk.Cows run at bird's music and make plops.

[myonetrickponey]

well, this is all slander and defamation. This goes much further than namecalling. Using the words sickness, illness and insanity. Using a parallel "with music being the 'vehicle' for transmitting sickness".

[piggeryash]

Kgibson9000,he didn't hit with that mallet hard enough,that guitar would sound better splintered.

[kpta7]

amo muito :oD

[veronicafishes]

he loops violin sounds, they're usually played at the beginning of the song.

[idiotequedemos]

he doesn't play the violin in this song, but I hear strings, does he use a sampler?

[alisgood]

all his live songs sound somewhat different than the cds man... download his live france albums. they kick butt!

[pancakethecat]

he sings the intro differently than on the cd. anyone else notice that?

[samadhist]

Have you ever been to Bonnaroo? It's 9000 degrees. Why would he wear a suit?

[mulmo]

it was probably super hot outside

[talondarkx]

There will be snacks!

[sbmusicpants]

sweet and savory both!

[blueiriss]

he looks fabulous 8)

[elaineMbarr]

Why does he randomly look like a cock rocker in this video as opposed to the librarian look he usually sports?

[supers0nik]

He was trying to fit the bonnaroo style...
