Favorite moment: I enjoyed the last part of the show when Andy Bird and Annie Clark played "Marry Me" and when the two bands performed together after. @

I came to the show unsure of how well Andrew Bird and St. Vincent would do. They are some of my favorite musicians, but the tickets were a bit more pricy than the some other shows. I was wondering if I had spent "too much" for the concert.

I was absolutely blown away from how well they did. My mind exploded when I heard them!

This was probably the best show I have seen. Andrew Bird and his band were tighter than I have ever seen them. The setlist was amazing. We had a great vantage point. The electri factory is a pretty nice room. It was a little hard to find for an out-of-towner, but well worth it. Catch this tour before its over!

This was probably one of the best shows I've ever been to. There's almost no words to describe the performance. It was beautiful, wonderful!; his whistling, singing, and violin playing soothed my soul. The opening band was amazing too. I want to go back and do a replay!

I had pretty high expectations for this show because I had heard what an amazing performer Andrew Bird is. And Andrew Bird totally delievered. I was blown away by his whistling. It is like an instrument in itself. And the way that he records and loops sounds and instruments and plays them back as background is truly incredible. Andrew Bird is so talented, and that fact is so much more evident when you watch and listen to him live. Not only does he have an amazing voice, but he can play practically every instrument. The show winded down with St. Vincent coming back out and performing with Andrew Bird. They really jam well together and overall it was an unforgetable experience. Definitely one of the best shows I have ever been to.

Andrew Bird has given us music to live for. His performance stands out as one of the best shows yet to be seen and heard by us. He exudes such talent on stage. He is a brilliant man, exploding with scenic lyrics and palatable melodies. We find it difficult to describe the intense respect for this man and his music. Brainstorm loves Andrew Bird.

Andrew Bird is an incredible artist so I expected a lot from him live and he did not disappoint! I love how original he is and the way he changes around the songs. He's so real and is musical talents are breathtaking. There were tears in my eyes when he whistled. It was amazing. The duets with St. Vincent were gorgeous. If anyone is ever debating whether to go see Andrew Bird live, go! I can't even complete a good review about because there are not enough positive adjectives to describe how wonderful the whole experience was.

Andrew Bird is an amazing performer! His show was very passionate, and speckled with interesting and quirky dialoge. His set ran smoothly, with a great balance of upbeat, louder songs and quieter more thoughtful/acoustic ones. Bird is so unique because of his wonderful whistling abilities, and the way he recorded his whistling and/or violin, and then looped it and played over that was mesmerizing. I enjoyed the way he included the opening act, St. Vincent, by bringing them onstage to play all together. Do most bands do that? The duet with the lead was beautiful, too. My boyfriend and I REALLY enjoyed the show.

Only problem for us was the time of night- at 8 PM on a Sunday (instead of a Saturday). After the show, we didn't get back up to Scranton, PA, until 1:30 AM. We were tired driving and it was tough to get up for work Monday!

Great show! The opening act was St. Vincent, not bad, but her performance felt a little long for an opener. I was wanting to get to some Andrew Bird! However, It was a lot of fun to see both bands jamming together. Great show.

I've seen Andrew Bird in concert about four times this year. He is never a disappointment. His show at the Electric Factory on October 25th was as wonderful as expected. He played a nice mix of old and new songs. The opening act St. Vincent was also good. They played a few songs with Andrew Bird and his band and those worked very well. A nice treat was a duet between Bird and the lead singer for St. Vincent of her song Marry Me where Bird played violin. Bird also performed a new song that was stellar. Anonanimal was also wonderful. On the tour one of the bandmates had been playing the saxophone to accompany Bird. Early on, the saxophone seemed to drown out Bird's voice. But, at this show it blended perfectly.

My favorite part was an instrumental interlude where Andrew Bird got all salsa-licious. One of the roadies came out and danced like mad while playing the tambourine. While the music was hot, I admit that the unexpected dance routine sealed the deal for me. Those narrow hips were hipnotic! He even had this seventies porn star mustache.

Andrew Bird is one of the greatest live performers if only for the fact that he basically constructs each song he plays on stage as he goes. With the looping, different instruments, whistling and singing, he makes an original version of each of his songs. This is the second time I've seen him in concert and I've been blown away both times. My one complaint was that he was slightly guitar heavy last night (i prefer more violin!) but generally amazing. Martin Dosh and the other guys are also a great compliment to him.

The version of "marry me" he did in the encore was awesome and sweet and Happy Birthday Song was so different than studio that I didn't recognize it until he started singing. Awesome.

First of all, the show was already worth the time and money by the time the opening act had finished. St. Vincent, namely Annie Clark, did a marvelous job. Andrew Bird put on a spectacular show as expected and even invited St. Vincent back to the stage for a couple of songs. It was very entertaining and nice to see how well they worked together. All around is was a terrific show that I would highly recommend.
