I wouldn't worry about it. It's good to see them at least once.
Who am I to talk, I fell asleep during part of their concert...

--- Quote from: gospel on 18 Sep 2008, 10:24 ---At first I thought it was the small venue or the equipment, but Okkervil rocked the house. It just seemed like the new album wasn't arranged well into the rest of the set, and he didn't quite have a grasp of his own vocal range live. I wasn't the only person who walked out for a smoke break either. He really wasn't working the crowd. It was just "We are the walkmen [song] We are the walkmen, this ..[song]."

I am guessing they just had a bad show, because I just saw them on Monday and it was spectacular. Maybe the show you saw was a fluke?

I am pretty sure he is talking about The Walkmen. His reference to an entirely separate Okkervil River show was for comparison (i.e., the venue is perfectly capable of hosting an awesome show). Unless The Walkmen are touring with Okkervil River and no one told me!

Andrew Bird is ONLY good live I think. His albums and songs are generally pretty ordinary... I mean, he's got his compositional niche, but there aren't enough hooks. Watching him live though, up close with a looper and that violin, is tight.

And yah, I heard Andrew Bird is fucking fantastic live. I still really regret not going to watch his set at Coachella 2007. But I really have to disagree with him being "ordinary on record". I think his stuff, especially Armchair Apocrypha, is really pretty and lovely to listen to, and in fact quite distinct!
