Andrew Bird’s Armchair Apocrypha was one of the better albums of 2007 that I didn’t get my ears on until 2008. Making my best of 2007 list somewhat less than complete. Oh, well. Can’t hear everything, I suppose. But today I try to make up for that shortcoming, just a little, by posting this September 27, 2007, show, in which Mr. Bird plays quite a few selections off of that album.
Y’all know the drill: A few tastes, and a zip file.
