The Gezelligheid concept unfolded nicely inside the church, and Andrew Bird connected with the audience in a relaxed and intimate way that nicely highlighted the craftsmanship, instrument mastery, technical wizardry, musical experimentation, and intelligence that he merges into both neat song units and more atmospheric, improvisational pieces to satisfy a whim or take advantage of the room's or the crowd's specific character. I feel like Andrew's intentions are sincere with Gezelligheid, and that he earnestly strives to create a unique experience with each night's performance. The personal "Mind of the Bird Man" moments and thought processes he reveals over the course of the show endear the audience to his enigmatic, self-conscious, and somewhat superstitious personal style and cerebral humor. Personality and showmanship notes aside, his violin mastery and song selections gripped the audience for the entire performance and gave us a look at the emotionally vivid, complex, yet subtle musical landscape that he continues to paint with masterful strokes, one performance at a time. The next concert can't get here soon enough. Very sad that this was "the last performance of the decade."

When I heard Andrew Bird was coming to NYC I was excited, but even more so when I found out the venue. The Riverside Church is a spectacle alone, but add to that the aural treat of Mr. Bird's sound and word and you have a little bit of Heaven on Earth. The vocal way he uses his violin to portray the unspeakable is his true genius. He is a wordsmith as well. Several songs with guitar from his most recent album hit home, especially the title track, "Break it Yourself." His set is decorated with large Victrola bells, some of which revolve to create interesting sound effects using live recording loop.He added a female vocalist and concert bass to flesh out the show, but nothing is as exciting as when the solo man whistles like my granddad, croons like a balladeer and plays the violin like a gypsy angel. I was floating all the way home.

The performer was and is amazing. He has excessive talent and an equal abundance of humility towards music. The venue was perfect and beautiful. But, who knows, that's what I like. I am fairly certain that everyone else in attendance got what they hoped for and a possible a lot more.

I think the first part of the show set the tone which a little too mellow for us. It was as if we were listening to someone practice/experiment. Although it was interesting is just wasn't a entertaining performance. It made me a little sleepy and everything started to sound the same. We were a little disappointed that we didn't hear a few more favorites. Also I didn't care for the backdrop/setting. The very large screen that changed colors (ugly colors) behind them was just too out of proportion to the band. The spinning speakers (type things) were also quite ugly - this was something I could see myself liking if they were integrated into the set a little more?? I didn't feel like I wasted money but I would never go again.

Andrew Bird is magnificent.
Beautiful venue, but surprisingly enough, not great sound! Especially group mic - was totally inaudible, solo mic was alright though...

In a an echoey cathedral, just with the amazing Andrew Bird. My favorite musician, blew my mind, perma-smile, sometimes in tears... if you have a chance to go to one of his gezelligheid shows, DO IT.

Riverside Church was a bit weird. It is an amazing and mesmerizing place for someone like Andrew Bird. But it was a bit unorganized. And the whole place was general admission, but we wound up on the 4th floor and seeing was almost impossible. We could watch on the little tvs.
The line for the will call was the longest I have ever seen.
Andrew Bird played for over 2 hours. I haven't been to a concert where the artist played for that long in forever. Unreal!

This was the PERFECT venue to hear Andrew Bird. His new stage setting with antique speakers is just amazing and the setting (gothic cathedral) and acoustics were out of this world!
He played some new tunes that don't even have lyrics yet. Love that!

Let me start saying that I love Andrew Bird's music, but this concert was a big disappointment, not because of him but because of the venue. When I bought the tickets, I didn't have a seat choice, and they assigned me a seat so far, that they had set up a horrible TV so we could see what was going on in the stage. If I would have had a seat choice, I would have never bough this ticket. I think that selling those seats without telling the customer is abusive. Is it really worth it to sold out a concert if you are going to lose fans? It was very, very disappointing.

I'm going to be as brief as possible. Since this was not a loud show, House of Blues didn't run all of the house speakers. All of the sound came from the main stage speakers. This would have been absolutely acceptable if a large percentage of the crowd weren't as rude as they were. There was little to no concert etiquette this night. Andrew Bird was phenomenal, but it was close to impossible to hear most of the songs. I had to leave early because my frustration was unbearable. I'd been looking forward to this show for some time and all the memories I have of hearing my favorites live are now forever tainted by people who don't mind dishing out $40 to socialize with friends. What happened to the idea of going to a show to listen to music? When did concerts turn into high school study halls?

The HOB isn't my favorite venue, but I do like it, especially because it wasn't overcrowded or uncomfortable during Andrew Bird on 10/10. The opening act was a pleasant surprise, and the main event was everything I had imagined. He is an amazing artist and I had no problem enjoying the show (unobstructed view, easily maneuverable crowd, great sound).
