I'm in for Baltimore.
-
Baltimore as well ;D
-
Baltimore and DC, although I have a feeling that DC ticket is up for sale. With Leonard Cohen in Philly the next night, there's no way I can handle that many shows in a row with that much driving.
-
Baltimore here as well
-
I have two tix for the Baltimore show, but I'm probably going to Fischerspooner instead. PM me if you want to buy my Baltimore tix.

DC
Couldn't turn down Ghost/Magik Markers.

I'll be there for DC.

Oh I see what I did.
Thanks for the fix. :)

Since i decided to go to Cohen on Monday, I will have to wait until their afternoon Bonnaroo set to see them. Have fun at the local shows.

It surprised me as well. I was thiking they would have one of the later sets of the first night...
-
Any thoughts? I was pretty psyched on the show...a couple slow moments, but they both were post-MPP songs (What Would I Want Sky and Bleed). All in all, great hearing reworked versions of some older tracks, and pretty great, you know, actually HEARING they album they're touring in support of :)
Any idea of how much the setlist will differ tonight? I have a ticket, but I'm on the fence for going.
Setlist from Collected Animals forum:
Chocolate Girl
Guys Eyes
Who Could Win a Rabbit
Summertime Clothes
Daily Routine
What Would I Want Sky
Leaf House
Fireworks w/ Lablakely Dress Intro
Lion in a Coma
Brother Sport

Bleed
Also Frightened

they sounded great last night at the ottobar!
-
I'm ready for them to retire the MPP set after this tour.
Already seen it twice and tonight will be #3.
Enough; time for some new shit!
-
this was an OK show overall. Almost good.
-
Yawn ;)
How different was each setlist?

Not very different at all.
You can dig them up if you want; the first was the last 930 show (found on npr.org) and the 2nd was 1/20/09 (up on archive.org).
Post write-up on last night (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/postrock/2009/05/animal_collective_live_last_ni.html#more)
"As the band stretched 13 songs into nearly two hours at their hometown show, a new microgenre seemed to emerge -- vocal jam band."
Funny...Snailhook referred to them as "this decade's Phish" the other night. :)
-
i was always under the impression that they changed their set lists radically between dates.
well shit, i promised i'd take a friend tonight instead of selling my tickets. FUCK
-
They change the order but that's about it.
Over the last two years, at least.
-
>:(
-
AC was cool tonight.
Their fans are very rude though. I felt really bad for Grouper - it sounded like a fucking cafeteria during her set.
-
I totally expected that. :(
Same thing happened last time with Tickly Feather.
The only difference is that Grouper is about 1000x better than Tickly Feather. :(
Felt awful for her.
-

totally true. i knew nobody was going to give a shit about grouper. you'd think the AC guys would know better than to have that kind of opening act. you gotta know your crowd!
i prefer AC's material from 2001-2003. i really don't care for the last few albums, and their live shows just go on and on.
-
"Comfy in Nautica" was a huge treat. I think the September '07 show was a little better--it's hard to top "Leaf House" and "We Tigers," and we actually got my favorite MPP track then but not last night ("In the Flowers"). Still, good stuff overall, and a tremendous encore.

They did play one track from each of the first three albums last night which was nice.

Slippi
Daily Routine
Bleed
Lablakely Dress/Fireworks
Banshee Beat

Chocolate Girl opener was great.
But I stand by what I said; the MPP set has to go come next tour.
-
i managed to grab the limited cover the windows and the walls lp which has been sold out on almost every online retailer! didn't have money for way their crept :(
overall the show was better then last nights. chocolate girl sounded fantastic with the 930 speakers and the inclusion of banshee beat, although half the fucking tempo, was awesome.
but yeh, i think i'm done with ac.
-
and poor grouper. i've been waiting so long to see her and from what little i could focus/hear, she was fantastic. someone book her for the velvet lounge!
-
The amount of people talking nonstop during the show last night was awesome. Good job DC!
-
Grouper would sound amazing at the Lighthouse.
-
Funny...for as much as I loved last night's set (Slippi?!?!), I was thinking that it really is a cross-roads for them in a way. They've gotten to a point where the music is actually just shy of mainstream-friendly, and I'm guessing a lot of people that really dug the first bunch of records are viewing this as a parting of ways. Also, I have no clue why so many college dudes are into them. I was telling the same thing to BookerT on Sunday...like Radiohead, I have no clue how these guys are popular with that demographic.
but yeh, i think i'm done with ac.
-
Well, me and all my friends are in college, all of us about 20-21 years old, and AC is one of their favorite bands right now. We've all been into experimental/shoegaze for a long time. I mean, who else is going to like Animal Collective? What kind of demographic do you think they fit into?
Also, what I found funny - I'm sure a majority of the fans there have only heard MPP. How can I tell? No one went crazy for them opening with Chocolate Girl (which was fucking fantastic).
But seriously though, AC fans kinda ruined the show. There was a ton of pushing and even some moshing too, which kinda surprised me given AC's music. I mean, dance all you want to, but for a band like AC, I'd rather not deal with getting someone thrown into me every other song. Combined with their terrible behavior during Grouper (at one point I asked the people behind me to please whisper because I was trying to take it in - she said ok... and then kept talking at a regular volume), AC fans managed to piss me off more than Radiohead fans.
-
Should've been more specific. I didn't mean any college kids...I mean the jockier/jammier kids. So many dudes around me in frat shirts. I'm not quite as judgmental as some on here as far as all frat guys being assholes, but it does surprise me. It's like AC was on the cover of "Bands Frat Guys Need To Love" quarterly or some shit.

You could've just called them "bros."
Say that word and everyone conjures up the image of the type of person you're referring to.

yeah as i was looking around last night i thought to myself, man, i bet a lot of people at this show will go see dave matthews later this summer. i think it's maybe because girls like AC because of all those sappy (but pretty awesome) new songs and because panda bear is so goddamn cute and then the guys will be into it to because the girls are into it and also it's "weird" and hey, they may be frat boys but they're not THOSE frat boys because they like animal collective and i mean, just look at the name, it's weird, right? also did i mention that panda bear looks like a pretty lady?
but seriously, good for AC. they spent 7 years playing little clubs and making weird music that, let's face it, wasn't always that great but was always pretty interesting and now it's less interesting and they've smoothed out all the rough edges and are making some bank. it's ok for a good band to get popular. once in a while.

I think some of the jock fans have to do with the fact that AC is played alot on the Towson station, wtmd (88.5)

has years of the snob hobbed indie lifestyle gone to your collective forum heads? don't you remember the era of the grunge late eighties/early nineties, that exploded from the small bandwagon bellowing, "i listened to that stuff first, like the vaselines and flipper and the melvins and then mudhoney, soundgarden, nirvana and pearl jam" to all of a sudden there were seas of screaming robot masses huddled behind the chants of this movement belongs to us now. and then people raped people at that last woodstock. its just like that all over again.

the answer is "yes".
