Watch Andrew Bird perform a full concert recorded live at the Palace Theatre in St. Paul, Minn., on Friday, Sept. 27, 2019. On the final tour date in support of My Finest Work Yet (with the cover artwork that is a direct homage to Jacques-Louis David's "The Death of Marat"), Bird and his band bring a provocative blend of rock, jazz, and Americana to life in a show that features all the songs from the album, delightful dips into Bird's back catalog, and a string of beguiling covers in the encore.
