Wow, what an amazing show...the whistling, the violin, the xylophone, the dry humor......I was almost lulled to sleep by the mellowness of the show.

The Orpheum Theatre in L.A. was the perfect venue!

    I was there as well, great show! I was blown away by the incredible musical talent that Bird possessed...I knew he was good, but had no idea he could pull off such huge sound in a live setting...the show exceeded my expectations and then some!

    I pimp Andrew any opportunity I get. Seen him a few times now, and it's really an experience unlike any other, including listening to the albums. The looping is ridiculous. And I doubt any show is the same as any other, even if the set lists don't vary much while touring behind an album. He's a genius, plain and simple.

    I agree re: the live experience compared to his records....some bands I love to see live, but never listen to their records....Kinky is one of them...a lot of fun live, but their albums don't even come close!

    Oh, I still love the albums and listen to them all the damn time. But the songs are totally different live.

    I saw him at the Outside Lands Festival in SF last year ... he was fantastic ... great show if you can catch him.

    Orch Row J, I think it was something like seat 29...the one on the end on the right of the center section.
