Here's a sketchy MP3 of Andrew Bird doing his song "Why" at the show in Durham NC, last week. This version is totally different from the one he does on The Swimming Hour; there's it's a relatively straightforward smoky blues tune. Here, it's all broken up, free-form, disjoint. I actually didn't recognize it when he was playing it, and thought it was some unreleased thing. It's only after I head the original and realized the words were the same that I figured out they were the same song.

Actually, there's an interesting idea there: if you change the melody, structure and arrangement of a song, but keep the words, mostly, is it still the same song?

Anyway... the sound quality is pretty murky - the camera apparently has a thing against frequencies above 6KHz.
