  1. He was phenomenal …
    He was phenomenal at Greenman

  2. Yep, just amazing.. …
    Yep, just amazing..are you going to go and see him in London in Nov? Other stuff, Jarvis, of course… but thought the audience were terrible, I think everyone was too chilled after Bon Ivor. Saw him having breakfast yesterday morning and he’s not nearly as tall as one thinks! Oh, and Wooden Shjips, Jonny and Richard James. Spent most of my time at the Far Out stage and in the Chai tent! What about you?

  3. Yeh, I’ve never …
    Yeh, I’ve never felt so much in awe of a performer! And such a good whistler too! Likewise, got scorned for missing Bon Iver, but I think twas worth it.

    Anyone else impress you at the festival?

  4. Oh wow! Wasn’t that …
    Oh wow! Wasn’t that just the best gig of the whole weekend? Just so lovely and intimate. I was scorned at for not staying to see Bon Ivor…

  5. Yeh - just saw him …
    Yeh - just saw him at Green Man too - he was amazing!

  6. Just seen him at …
    Just seen him at Green Man. Totally blew me away - I cried. Can’t stop listening to this track and the new CD. A very rare man indeed…oh dear, think I have fallen in love….he has just knocked Stephen Fry and Ryan Adams off my ‘to have to dinner’ list… And I’m sorry, but Tori Amos is just a plagiarist of Kate Bush….nothing original there…and I hate that vague airy fairy way she talks…a fine head of hair though.

  7. He s the violin …
    He s the violin like Tori Amos s the piano. This was perhaps the coolest violin performance I have EVER seen. I am sold. One song, and I madly love this man! Truly beautiful.

  8. i know exactly what …
    i know exactly what you mean cause i was at that concert. I had listened to him for awhile before seeing the show but when you see him live its like you really are hearing it for the first time because everything he plays live is different. This song is just a perfect example of how he can play his music live so naturally it gives you chills

    i want, so desperately, to have this man for dinner.

  10. my god!

    my god!

    he’s alive……. a modern times mozard.

    This was his first encore that he played at radio city music hall. it was my first time seeing him live, and really listening to him for that matter.. and this song blew me away. everything from the lighting to his timing, it was all perfect.

  13. he have the same …
    he have the same intonnation of voice with jeff buckley sometimes, he’s just amazing… Thanks

  14. I saw him play a …
    I saw him play a solo show in Austin and it was infuckingcredible. I love Dosh and his other band members, but his ability to play a show solo is paralyzing.

  15. What…the…fuck! …
    What…the…fuck! That was amazing. :)

  16. I saw him last …
    I saw him last night and He came on alone as an encore, this was the song he played, then his band came out and played 2 more song, amazing show

    this is my favourite live song by Andrew.

    but he is doing a bunch of solo shows this fall! (see you in South Portland, Andrew…)

  19. its just a solo for …
    its just a solo for the song but the drum sets there so hes not doing solo for the entire show.

  20. On Ho!
    On Ho!

  21. oh no
    oh no

    Well, In the other …
    Well, In the other recordings where he;s playing this tune live, he’s alone. It seems like it’d be tough for Dosh to keep time if Andrew Bird’s screwing around the time like that.
