The only negative, and god hell what a negative, was that stage banter. Holy shit Antony, you're going to seriously cripple this magical musical vibe you got going with that 6th-grade-schoolgirl schtick of "I just… umm….. well, y'know…. why don't we just be women…. and like… y'know… I'm sorry" It was so painful, and when he kept interupting the song to further blather on incoherently, I was dying.
I have to disagree. I liked the banter. I can't stand it when artists just show up, play and say thanks or you guys have been great and leave the stage. i think that it gave the audience the perspective of the guy who wrote these beautiful songs and perhaps shed some light on where he's coming from in general for people who may not know. Just because he said sorry and y'know, etc. doesn't mean he wasn't saying something of substance.
Plus, it's his show. I don't think he should have to apologize for saying something if he really feels like he wants to say it.

It will be broadcast on Pitchfork.tv, though I don't know when. NPR was also there recording for All Songs Considered.

Two weeks? Hmm…

I'm second-guessing my choice to see Andrew Bird last night after all these reviews but an NYC show in two weeks sounds very doable especially if tickets are still available.

Thanks to MyraEllen for the heads-upSo there was no Daylight!
Exact same set as the NYC show I saw.
Edit: error above fixed.
No "Cripple" as listed in the setlist, either. NYC show wins! :)
