man just listened to fireworks for first time in a really long time, jesus fucking christ. i kno they explicitly said thy wouldnt do fwx (and my girls, bro sport or purple bottle) but i think hey totally could/should do fwx any way, and grass, for the 2nd leg of the tour. i remember the intro to one song almost sounded like it for a second in ny... and gnip gnop has somewhat similar drums. i think itll happen! theyll need another big oldie and if alvin happened then anything can... idk, no deakin guitar tho..

[pullhairdownthere]

Any good shots of their recent live setup? Curious to know what gear they're using this time around.

Can only make out Noah's octatrack and OP-1 and some modular stuff next to Geo.

Jimmy Mack gives me My Girls vibes. Build and rhythm-wise hard for me to separate.
It's really good

[dio]

^jimmy mack is freakin sweet. makes me so happy. i get a from a beach-y vibe out of that and gnip gnop. loving this tour sooo much, concerts/ny boot/youtube vids have been amazing, and ill get to see them a third time in may... what a time..

also love how spacey they get on some of the irving plaza boot transitions, especially before and after On Delay.... and I really love how Loch Raven has become the new my girls

Stream of Chicago show I did with my GF if you havent seen it in the Chicago thread.

[ogerrob]

Just go see this show. Everybody on the fence or worried about money, it's fucking worth it. Best I've seen them sound and play since 2006. There's too much to say. Just eat an edible and let your mind go.

[scrambledgreggs]

Does anyone have any good photos of the stage set-up with those awesome faces? They didn't come out looking so great on my phone.

Also, are we assuming Jimmy Mack is one of the two extras from PW that don't have a release scheduled yet? If so, hopefully it means they'll be playing the other sometime on the tour as well!

Edit: didn't realize Jimmy Mack was a cover. Very cool anyway!

[ogerrob]

I got a few vids that came out pretty good that I can post if people are interested. I snagged all of Loch Raven, and some of Golden Girls and Alvin Row.

They just announced that Eric Copeland is opening some shows in Sept & Oct. Not sure which ones, I think you just have to click the ticket links and check the lineup for each show: http://www.myanimalhome.net/#/tour

[nevermind]

[thebackdrifter]

Anyone here planning on going to Hawaii? I have plane tickets and hotel booked! First time in Hawaii and I am super stoked!

EDIT: Thread I started: http://collectedanimals.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4234

[roopn]

I've been hoping they'll come to australia sometime in december/january. Is that likely?

If they do I hope it's more than just festival dates

[blindmowing]

oh my worrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd

eric copeland is opening the show in vancouver

how could it be any better ? holy moly ... black bubblegum is a masterpiece

that show is going to be insane

[scrambledgreggs]

just saw that headline, that just might convince me to drive up from Seattle for the night

[jetski]

Very excited to find out what new jams they've added for this leg of the tour. First show is tomorrow in Tokyo so hopefully we'll know soon

[clumsy342]

Ok, so the Tokyo show has happened.

edit: Or... its happening right now?

http://clashfinder.com/m/ss2016/?user=083mdu.dd

Checking twitter now. don't know the order, but they played

Golden Gal, Hocus Pocus, Loch Raven, KIDS ON HOLIDAY, Burglars, Daily Routine, Bees, Floridada...

[jetski]

Yeah looks like they're playing right now

[clumsy342]

Here's a fun translated tweet:

"What happened to the Taku Inoue had a DJ in chalan while watching SAVEGES and Animal collective... Underwear smeared with alcohol."
also..
"Best Kinky Sound"
"Whats so scary is the world of animal collective, shivering and shaking"

"animal collective was insanely polished I watched a few years! Popped while leaving the bad feelings of inborn is or rather increasing the trim. After alternately sings Avey and Panda's so cute. A hentai selling thanks for playing music, I'm happy. I go about my life!"

A distorted clip of The Burglars

[clumsy342]

Ah. you are correct. I'm at work and the combination of these terrible speakers and the vid quality, I could not make it out at all.

[jetski]

There's some clips of Kids on Holiday and Loch Ravin' (which is what I'm calling this version of Loch Raven from now on). No surprises yet

[amatureadult]

Darn, I'm going to be dissappointed if the only thing they're doing differently this time is adding Kids on Holiday.

Not that I can make it to any of their shows, I was just hoping we'd get another live release with mostly different sets.

[clumsy342]

I wonder if they kept to their usual set because this is a festival. I'm going to see them in Eugene right after Camping With - so I'm guessing if they are in fact going to change up the setlist, it would happen at/after Camping With.

Regardless, I really hope to see Kids On Holiday.

[jetski]

Yeah hopefully they're just waiting for a regular headlining show to debut new (old) songs. Avey said a while ago that they'd have a new setlist for this leg of the tour

Tokyo Setlist:

Spoiler: show

[roopn]

all things considered that's a pretty great set

[Curved Hair]

I agree ^

Spoiler: show

but the no encore makes the format a little unpredictable

I dislike floridada as closer though- I know its being used as the brother sport of this era,
but depending on where it sits in the setlist.. it's usually my filler tune (as in go get a beer, use the bathroom, leave early)

Spoiler: show

leaving early is a bit stiff, but I'll agree that for some reason it's just not very exciting. especially as a closer

[Curved Hair]

that's a very specific situation though.. if it's the closer on an encore, and having been to so many shows I know what i'm gonna get and would rather beat the exit traffic to the merch booth

fwiw I'm usually the last one on the floor

[roopn]

aha sorry, I wasn't trying to invalidate you as a fan

[thebackdrifter]

Gonna try to record Hawaii tomorrow, venue hasn't emailed me back about having permission to record. First time ever in Hawaii! It's awesome so far!

[GetFucked]

I was at the Tokyo show, a little disappointed there were no surprises in the setlist, but otherwise it was amazing. Despite the no encore they played for over 90 minutes which is great for a festival.

Funniest part was the band screwing up in the middle of Floridada and having to start again. I think Jeremy's monitor cut out and he, avey and panda were all out of sync with each other. But they handled it well, there was no break in the music, instead winding it down and kicking back into the first verse, all without talking to each other, I was impressed.
Also I disagree that Floridada is bad live, it got the crowd moving more than any other song (Japanese crowds being generally quite calm). My highlights were probably the more mellow parts tho, namely Bees.

Hey i was there! Was my first time seeing them live. I was super stoked. Was right at the front but had to lose my spot as my bladder was about to burst.

Yeah the recovery from Floridada was fucking smooth. And it was epic live. Did not expect that. My favourite bit was most definitely Loch Raven and Daily Routine. The former was electrified and the driving bass kick and Jeremy's drumming really lifted it onto becoming quite a banging dance-y song. And Daily Routine sent chills down my spine with its extended second half. Love the way Panda drags the "just aaaaaaaaaaaa.... signal" bit.

I had a small glimmer of hope for Fireworks or Brothersport but I guess that would be too much of a wishful thinking lol. And Japanese crowd was really quite static and calm... as expected.

Yes! It does seem like if there are more songs they have worked on to play, they would not want to reveal all of them before the camping weekend!

It may not be more than one or two others yet each song they have is deeply complete and everchangingly special ; not meaning to write too fluffy although too fluffy is fine really! I guess another way to say it is that each song is very layered musically, emotionally, perceptually, and each one grows and changes over time in ways that are still rare for musicians' work to genuinely do! They write and play them with room to grow and for all of the layers to move and change both to themselves and anyone experiencing them!!

[jetski]

when they said they would have a new setlist by July
