Fingers crossed for a more faithful version of College than that one radio thing they did (backing tracks or samples, something)

idk if this is the one you're talking about, but the 2003 KCRW performance (with Pilot and Softest Voice) was pretty damn close to the album version. only thing it was missing was extra harmony
Edit: oh wait you meant you hope that they have the samples in the background? like the water running or whatever (thats how ive always imagined it, it probably isnt that though)

Exactly what I’m talking about and the extra harmony is what I’m hoping for. Even if it’s fucked up samples or delay

Oops theres 2 threads lol

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2017 4:57 pm

I bet the entire audience will sing along with College lol

Actually I hope they don't, that would be annoying as hell

The more the merrier! Just got tickets. Best random CA visit surprise ever haha

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2017 5:23 pm

$60 totally worth it for once. Goddamn. Un-fucking-believable. Can't wrap my head around it yet.

This is bonkers. I wish I didn't live in Europe. I wish I was dead, in fact.

Bought tickets to this without thinking but also while rolling my eyes at the $50 + fee

Super fan life is getting very costly for me

on the plus side there's probably gonna be some other awesome bands too

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2017 5:29 pm

Anybody else not able to get tickets? Keeps giving me a payment error. Tried 2 different credit cards

lol i feel like at that time they couldnt even possibly imagine that anyone would want that

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2017 5:39 pm

Yeah it makes sense that they said no then, and obviously they've changed a lot in the past 9 years. It's still kinda surprising to me that they're doing this show but I'm not gonna complain

Also I feel like a hypocrite because normally I think these kind of full album performances are dumb but I'm so excited for this one lol

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2017 5:42 pm

yeah that interview was nearly 10 years ago, plus what Geo said remains true: *most* of their albums would be very hard to recreate live as they are known. but Sung Tongs is - for the most part - just Avey & Panda singing & playing guitar.

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2017 6:22 pm

they must've had a great time revisiting Kids on Holiday and Sweet Road for this tour and wanted to explore that more

there's no way I'm flying to NYC for this but I hope we get some killer boots out of it!

GOT TICKETS. MY BEST FRIEND IS COMING UP FOR THIS. FUCK YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2017 7:18 pm

i think sung tongs is my favorite AC release so this is just mind-boggling for me

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2017 7:22 pm

IM GOING

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2017 7:42 pm

after all of your flights are booked avey and panda will announce the sung tong tour and will play in all the cities you live in

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2017 8:55 pm

No idea if I can make this happen. Buy ticket anyway? It'd be rad to meet some of you / see some of you after years and years...

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2017 9:26 pm

Sometime I'll meet someone else from this board... this will not be that time

Although I get that it's been a while since that interview, and I can totally see why they'd be fine with doing a full performance of sung tongs, what I'm more surprised about is that they'd do it at a pitchfork event. I guess because pitchfork probably directly asked if they would do it? it was probably cool for them to hear that people want something like that. but pitchfork as a publication does not seem like something AC would naturally support you know

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2017 9:39 pm

Because of negative reviews? I don't think they care. Panda and Slasher Flicks both played at one of their fests a couple years ago so they don't seem to have qualms about it

A gig is a gig. As much as they might have taken offense to recent reviews they'd be just as likely appreciative of the exposure p4k gave them during the noughties

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2017 10:01 pm

No, it's not the review scores themselves, I don't think they care about that. but avey at least has said multiple times that he disagrees with the idea of rating music, and even having favorites. I just feel like ideologically they don't really agree with the concept of pitchfork becoming a critic mogul / taste-maker. I get that they wouldnt care if it was a pitchfork festival, but this is a pitchfork-focused event, more so than the festival would be

But yeah, a gig is a gig, and idk if they're even thinking about it like this at all. If i were in their position i wouldnt care, i'd be happy to do it
