That first commercial break i was like whoa, is that Louis Cato and The Late Show Band playing a cover of Andrew Bird's "Sisyphus" -- that is one heck of a deep cut; little did I realize..
I stumbled upon Andrew Bird 15ish years ago at a festival while waiting at a falafel stand. The whistling caught my ear and I have been obsessed ever since❤❤
Thank you so much for doing these! You guys have the bsst band in late night but I've always had to appreciate them from the clip transitions alone. Finally, we can hear the play full-length songs!
Oh. My. God. This was amazing. I had not heard of Andrew Bird before. Now I am addicted to his music. Even more, the Late Show band is simply the very best. Astounding.
Looking forward to having Stephen back next week! I know the scheduling decisions are made by the network and they chose not to run most of the late shows during the Olympics, but I always miss Stephen and Seth when they're not on!
I have a thing for the saxophone and strings one of the best combinations in live music. Really good music thank you Stephen Colbert you have given one reason to subscribe.😊
That moment you realize that for all we know this kind of thing always happens during commercial breaks on any given night at the Ed Sullivan theater while the rest of us at home are watching animated bears hawk this or that brand of toilet paper
Just saw him live for the third time last night! Ive been obsessed with him since “The Mysterious Production of Eggs” in 2005. I love Andrew Bird!! Fun fact: he does the whistling for Walter the muppet.
Railroad Bill, In The Valley of the three white horses,Tenuousness - a lot of his songs, the lyrics are so insane, I can't ever figure out what the meanings are, but the songs are amazing!

He was a special guest with the band for a whole week - we DEMAND to see ALL of it! Never too much Andrew Bird!
I second this notion. I too would like to see all of it.

Same. I love Andrew Bird and this was amazing!! Would love to hear what else they played together.
Oh, my goodness, this was phenomenal!
More of this, please!
Everyone having fun, Andrew killing it, Louis obviously loving it. Please post more!
THAT!Was fucking awesome. It’s been years since I’ve seen Andrew Bird live, and I have really been missing out. Well done everyone.
Brilliant collaboration... The wide open changes of Caravan lend to lots of latitude... but this is an intergalactic take... a sonic safari...
Oh,do they play well together, or WHAT???!!! Thank you people. You raise the Joy Factor.
👏👏👏💕 Remarkable performance by the whole team...

Was it Bonnaroo, by any chance?

Oh my gosh, you need to watch the Commercial Breakdown videos with Cory Wong and Béla Fleck! They’re magic!
I've never watched a late show band clip from start to finish before. I'm broken after this. What an absolute treat.
Annnd …..A HUGE congratulations to the audio and video crew!!
👏🏿👏🏼👏🏾👏👏🏻🌹
I saw Andrew Bird at a small venue in Utah last summer. I liked him before the show, but live? He blew my mind. One of the best shows I've ever seen.
I love Andrew Bird, so glad to see him play on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert!
Love the work on double bass here! Great sound/groove :)
That was BAD ASS! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Please post every single Andrew Bird performance on late night please. Oh please oh please. That was beyond magical
Holy Crap!
Thank you for the upload.
Is there an Emmy for late night bands?!
My fave thing about musicians in lock step is how they watch and focus on each other in the service of the groove… A+ would watch again
"A+ would watch again" sounds like a review someone would write on eBay for a seller they would buy from again
Oh. My. God. This was amazing. I had not heard of Andrew Bird before. Now I am addicted to his music. Even more, the Late Show band is simply the very best. Astounding.
I haven't even watched it yet and already i'm so excited. Thanks again for these. Thanks thanks thanks.
Oooo all this jazz reminds me of hearing Bowl of Fire for the first time, I was hooked
Killer band! That gal on the upright kicks some serious ass! 😎
Looking forward to having Stephen back next week! I know the scheduling decisions are made by the network and they chose not to run most of the late shows during the Olympics, but I always miss Stephen and Seth when they're not on!

Seen Andrew Bird live a couple times. He's an incredible performer! I love seeing him on Colbert with the Late Show band!
Pure energy and excellent
LOVE this. I've followed Andrew Bird's work for 25 years--he never disappoints, and what COOKIN' band!
I am just dead. That was the ultimate!
What a treat to see and hear some talent.
Love this! Would like to hear this kind of music more often
Andrew Bird is Dr. Strings!
Jack’s Big Music Show 🎉
My son made me watch that episode every day, when he was a toddler! I love Andrew 💜

Thank you for this. A little bit of what makes the Late Show great while they take a break.
He is the best host ❤
Amazing! Loved seeing Andrew Bird perform with Louis and the band! I’d love to hear more collaboration!
Wow! These are always great, but it's wonderful to hear something this adventurous in a setting like this.
Just what my soul needed today, mahalo
Yes! More Andrew Bird everywhere!!!!
And a HUGE congratulations to the audio and video crew!
Incredible production!!
🙏🏿🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🙏🏾
Saw him a few years ago - what a creative, talented musician.
Finally! You coulda been doing this for How Many Years? Monetize the Band… Priceless! Thank you. Ahhhhhhh.
More Breakdown ❣️🎯
Pure magic!
I don't know what goes into the musicians's contracts, but I'd LOVE to see and listen to more of the music during the breaks!
The DUKE would be so proud and flattered 🌹
Excellent arrangement and performance!!
One of my all time faves! ❤
In the presence of greatness...
Mysterious Production of Eggs was one of the best albums of the 2000s
Oooo very nice🎧

I like how they all kinda look like the instruments they play
Outstanding and inspirational.
Wish the percussionist was in the audio mix.
Did anyone else notice the small detail at 5:23? It’s so cool!
which detail specifically? I've watched 5:23 a number of times - there's a few little details going on around there
fantastic
Excellent! More!!!!
Impressive! That is soooo beautiful
Wow. I had no idea. I wish I could be in the audience.🎉
Agree!
No matter what happens, this is the ultimate caravan ❤ 💃🌟
Seeing Andrew tomorrow night at Meijer Gardens!
Amazing!
More of these please! Especially if the show seems like it's off more than on these days! Also, that priest is really great! 😉
missed opportunity to have steve do his caravan dance in the background. lmfao
I've always loved the song as an instrumental.
The Power Of *FUNK* Compels You !
Oh No from Noble Beast. Love it.
Excellent!!
Awesome!!! Maybe go back and occasionally show some when jon batiste on the show! I've been dying to see and hear the commercial break performances. 💜
Thank you!
Lazy Projector by Andrew Bird is a great song
Railroad Bill, In The Valley of the three white horses,Tenuousness - a lot of his songs, the lyrics are so insane, I can't ever figure out what the meanings are, but the songs are amazing!
Cool!😎
I love Andrew Bird. That whistling is just incredible
Put that shit on air!
Schmoookin👍👏
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
Holy Crap!!!!
Let's all watch a few times maybe :)
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Hardly recognizable as "Caravan", but still, a very cool performance!
Edit: I wrote that halfway through. I must upgrade it to, "VERY cool"!
Wow😮
I can’t tell if he’s loving life or not. Phenomenal
Wow!!
Das nice! As a violinist I'm envious, but loving it! 😁
Awesome :DDD
Klasse!
Would virtuoso be appropriate ❤😊
God this was great
First time I’ve ever seen Louis place. Impressive.
Whose gonna put the band Accept's 1983 song "Ballz to the Walz" to the next Vice President Tim Walz speeches first ?
Dark night 86
Really amazing...
What aren't any of the recent monologues being uploaded anymore???
❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
❤
"Sunday Morning Put-on" is great ❤
❤❤
Where has the late show gone?? Has Stephen retired?? Can this guy play the violin !!
Kind of reminds me of the Deads Help on the Way/ Slipknot.
Wow, you're right.
Nice, but I still want you all to stop taking so many vacations! Put in guest hosts if nothing else.
