Animal Collective Roll Call

[killsaly]

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.

ah, their Roo set time is pretty meh IMO. 2:45 in the afternoon???

It surprised me as well. I was thiking they would have one of the later sets of the first night...

[nkotb]

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.

[Got Haggis?]

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!

[Vas Deferens]

this was an OK show overall.  Almost good.

[nkotb]

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

"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

[azaghal1981]

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.

[azaghal1981]

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.
