all the times panda says "come on" is so beautiful in hocus

[Crushhigh]

Experienced PW live last night...
First AC show and one of the best nights of my life
Made me reevaluate the album as well... All my previous opinions about Vertical not being very good are crushed.. Lying in the Grass went so incredibly hard.. And Summing the Wretch is the jam of a lifetime

[Tropic]

Oh shiiiiit

[AudibleKayak]

Michael and Danny confirmed for new Animal Collective members?

[jetski]

hope Danny's Jam is another 20 minute synth improv jam

[Fovrodi]

Could it be droney stuff they did with John Cale?

[destiny]

dANNY'S JAM BABY!!!

[roopn]

I want one so bad, but I probably never will

[LeadHat]

this prompted me to listen to michael, remember again (which i didn't like at all when it came out
but oh my god i've fallen in love
like others are saying, i hope dannys jam is similar

[jetski]

ohhh shit they just posted 2 full live sets on Bandcamp!! https://anmlcollectve.bandcamp.com/

Spoiler: show

Last night, Animal Collective performed at The Orange Peel in Asheville, NC. For those who were at the show, you may have seen a table set up for Progress North Carolina Action, who we were introduced to by North Carolina Needs You (http://ncneedsyou.com/). They (http://progressnc.org/) are an organization "dedicated to being a voice for forward-thinking North Carolinians who want to protect the balanced approach to government”. Recently, North Carolina passed a law, known as HB2, that dictates which bathrooms transgender people are permitted to use and attacks the rights of LGBT citizens to sue when their human rights are violated in the workplace. We felt that cornpilling our show, like many others have done in protest of this law, would be a disappointment to our fans and decided to go on with the performance. That being said, we don't condone or agree with any type of bigotry or discrimination.

This year, we’ve been recording and mixing some of our live shows. In an effort to raise awareness and help those fighting for equality, we are making two of our favorite recent shows available for download in a “pay what you want” model. To listen to/download shows from March 9, 2016 at Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, CA or April 13, 2016 at O2 Ritz Manchester in Manchester, UK please visit https://anmlcollectve.bandcamp.com/ and donate what you’d like to contribute to Progress NC. All proceeds from these downloads will go to that organization. Thanks!

came here to post that. I'm getting the Manchester one first, Geo said that was his favorite show so far, and since that show was a month later I'm guessing the transitions are even better. Glad the money is going to a good cause too!

[Tropic]

LDN decision getting worse and worse

[jetski]

heh well at least now u can experience the Manchester show secondhand

[roopn]

London. I chose that show cos I'd been to Manchester earlier in the year. They played a sweeter set in Manc too. Was a really expensive trip too haha. Ah well, vic's got a point

[roopn]

ahh I see, that's a shame

[Sam]

Woohoo was at that LA show and it was a lot of fun, glad the band thought so too!

[ImpendingPeacefish]

When I saw them perform the new stuff live, you know painting with and Alvin Row, I really got an appreciation for those songs. Vertical was bumping live and probably is my favorite song off Painting With.

[davidvidvid]

noooooo, there's no hocus pocus. they opened with it at the first fonda show.

not to be negative, as these recordings are really great.

[Stanshant]

I skipped Manchester because I don't especially care for Painting With and the bootlegs I'd heard sounded pretty average. At least I can pay a pound to have that decision rubbed in my stupid face. I really had hoped for old old shows though. Everything since CHz has been a bit 'professional' live.

[Tropic]

I'd pay a pound to see you gored by an Elephant Stan

[Stanshant]

Call it 50p and you're on.

[thebackdrifter]

Really digging these live recordings! Glad the band is putting more official live stuff out. I probably will not stress out as much about getting boots for Indiana and Hawaii now.

[r1pvanw1nkl3]

when i saw them play in philly panda used falsetto during the end bit of the burglars. he now uses full voice and its pretty impressive, pitch is so high

Jeremy during the Slasher flicks set last year fucked up so much. Like drum sticks flying out of his hands bad.

Thanks Vic, I'm delighted to hear they're not a psychedelic Kraftwerk just yet.

[roopn]

..... is there a homer simpson sample during Bees?

Honestly it is reassuring to hear stuff like that, because sometimes it legitimately seems like theyre playing a recording of the instrumental

[Tropic]

For a time there was only one video of Vertical live on YouTube (might still be the only one, I dunno) and Noah fuck up all the vocals at the start. Sounds so messy

[rampface]

lol'd!!!

the hippie / weed episode?

where homer is jester and tells skinner he is DONE?

Jay?

she was a DEMON in the ODDSAK!

[kafkaesque]

colbert, nice! hope they play my girls!

[Fovrodi]

On Delay or Lying in the Grass. The more I think about it it seems LITG as a single was them making sure they could play whatever they wanted from the album on late night shows. Like it's easily the weirdest song on the album but NBC/whoever can't stop them from playing a single

[Tropic]

Yeah hoping for LitG too. If they play FloriDada then they're sell outs and I'm no longer interested in their brand

[speen]

weird thing that annoys me that i have no real right to be annoyed about:

Spoiler: show

litg does NOT sound like lying in the grass. like, it has no elements of the sensation of lying in the grass to me

[jfw7]

isn't it kinda snakey sounding though with the saxes

[preacherben]

yeah i don't think it's supposed to be you lying in the grass it's like a metaphor or something #songwriting
