In this round of the 3x3 concert series, we kick off with Andrew Bird, who proves himself worthy of endless buzz in front of an adoring Austin City Limits audience. We then head over seas to catch the Plasticines, who were discovered by Kraftwerk's producer. The Paris-based grrrl group tears it up in their hometown and even drop a cover of Nancy Sinatra's 'These Boots are Made for Walking.' We round things off with Southern Cowpunk quintet the Drive-By Truckers, who deliver a stellar performance of songs from their highly-addictive album, 'Brighter Than Creation's Dark.'

This week's 3x3 kicks off with Andrew Bird, whose deep voice lifts his 2007 Austin City Limits performance to nothing short of stellar. Then we move on to the Swell Season, featuring Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, the silver screen musical duo from the indie gem, 'Once.' Last but not least, we bring it all together with Badly Drawn Boy, who rock something serious at Brooklyn's Chip Shop.

This week's 3x3 we're bringing you three fantastic performances by three very interesting performers. First up, the "legendary" Dewey Cox rises from the dead to perform live at NYC's Knitting Factory in an exclusive performance. Then the Philly-based Eastern Conference Champions rock three tracks for a wild crowd at L.A.'s Silver Lake Lounge. Lastly, Carbon/Silicon -- comprised of two rock legends, Mick Jones and Tony James -- rock out at the Bunker in London.

Through scientific advances and the "Time Continuum Experiment," Dewey Cox rose from the dead to grace New York's Knitting Factory with his deep voice and poetic lyrics. In an exclusive performance, the legendary rocker played as if his heart had never stopped.

After the first screening of his biographical film, 'Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story,' Cox performed his greatest hits, including 'Walk Hard,' 'Midget Man' and a special performance of 'Let's Duet' with his second wife, Darlene Cox.

Ecstatic to be on the Knitting Factory stage for the first time, Cox recited anecdotes from his times spent with Robert Dylan, the Beatles and even his run-in with Culture Club.

Unfortunately, Cox's time back on this Earth was short-lived, and he was forced to return to "rock heaven." Despite his brief time back with us, he made sure to "walk hard," stopping at nothing to entertain his adoring fans.

This year we brought you more than 60 rockin' live shows from all over the map. And for the last third of the year, we're celebrating 3x3 with a hat-trick of the absolute best performances from 2007. First up, Cold War Kids brought their A-game to the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. Next, the exquisite Neko Case sang her heart out in Austin, Texas. Lastly, British new-wave rockers Bloc Party impressed the crowd at their hometown show in London.

We decided to celebrate the recent Grammy nominations by showcasing three of the lucky noms themselves. First up, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova of the Swell Season, who earned two nods for their moving soundtrack performance for the motion picture, 'Once.' Meanwhile, Queens of the Stone Age scored a nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance, and British soul-singer Amy Winehouse brought home six nominations, including Album of the Year. Congrats, y'all.

15. Stuck in a Moment You Literally Can't Get Out Of

It was a travesty of a mockery of a sham when U2, the world's most earnest band, went ironic for its mega-sized 1997 Popmart tour. Metaphorically speaking, it doesn't get much more precious than the incident in Oslo when the band's 40-foot lemon-shaped pod malfunctioned, trapping the band inside. All they could do was laugh, the Edge later admitted.

14. His Name Was Mud

At Woodstock '94, those incorrigible boys in Green Day took the fabled festival's legendary history of muddy conditions to the punk-rock extreme, starting an epic mud-fight with the audience. With the stage filled with muck-covered fans, bassist Mike Dirnt was mistaken for a trespasser by a security guard, who leveled the musician, knocking out several teeth.

13. A Lot of Hot Air

Blow-up props, from Pink Floyd's pigs to Limp Bizkit's penis, are sure sources of amusement. In 1977, Fleetwood Mac celebrated their status as the world's biggest band by incorporating a 70-foot penguin into their act. The problem with this particular inflatable was that it was always flaccid. "It would never fully inflate," recalled Lindsey Buckingham. "This thing was limping and floundering at the back of the stage."

12. Moon Shot

From shards of Pete Townshend's guitars to black eyes from Roger Daltrey's windmilling microphones, the Who have always been one of rock's most accident-prone bands. But Keith Moon's piece de resistance was the explosion he rigged during a 1967 television appearance. More powerful than planned, it propelled the drum kit and Daltrey airborne, and may have even triggered Townshend's hearing troubles.

11. What's My Line?

Singers forget lyrics all the time, but preferably not in front of the President. During a Kennedy Center tribute to Dolly Parton, Jessica Simpson (left) abruptly stopped in the middle '9 to 5.' "Dolly, that made me so nervous," she blurted before running offstage. Some 45 years earlier, Ella Fitzgerald blanked on 'Mack the Knife': "Oh, what's the next chorus/To this song now?," she sang. Ella laughed it off, and it won her a Grammy.

10. What a Dump!

Shock rocker Alice Cooper "retired" the huge snake used in his show for decades after an incident in Los Angeles during which the snake pooped, and pooped some more. "I never expected there to be eight piles the size of a Doberman pinscher," Cooper later told Rolling Stone. "My whole stage costume was covered, and it smelled so bad I was gagging." Even Johnny Rotten, who was in the audience, was impressed.
