On February 27, 1999, at the Double Door in Chicago, Andrew Bird delivered a notable performance that included three renditions of the traditional folk song "Stagger Lee," each uniquely titled: "Stack Lee," "Stagger Lee," and "Stack 'O Lee."

The consecutive performances of "Stack Lee," "Stagger Lee," and "Stack 'O Lee" show Bird exploring different interpretations or arrangements. This approach aligns with his reputation for reimagining traditional songs through his distinctive blend of folk, jazz, and swing influences.
