Collected Animals

you have to imagine the lisbon show is still on only because he already has plans to go see noah. presumably he will be there if not playing.

At least, he won't pay for an hotel haha

Maybe they can't find the tour van keys.

Fuck, he did not tour Europe for the last album and this tour is cornpilled. Will I ever see him solo ? no one knows. In an altternate univers it would be cool if Noah said "Well I'll play those shows cause Dave can't"

Ooooh I'm so sad, I had planned to make an interview of him for a french magazine, to promote his parisian show

Why only Lisbon in Europe? Does he sell more there? That's strange

which magazine ?

Let's a ball of us go to the Lisbon show

Feel like it must’ve been that he’d be doing this tour at a loss (sold out or not) for him to cornpill that far in advance.

bummed about not being able to see him in Seattle but I bet it's a bummer for him too so can't blame him. I hope we get a few good recordings from the shows that do happen!

Les Inrocks

Such a bummer, but hey, glad he's ok at least. I guess I'll try to get to Lisbon then...

psh. yeah, well i guess i still don't really understand. logistical? did he forget he booked shows? or his van driver went missing? lol. i guess maybe ticket sales weren't enough could be the explanation, but it's hard for me personally to accept that because avey tare is my favorite living artist and i'm biased..

i'm happy for the fans who get to see him at these few other shows, certainly anticipating a good quality recording, hopefully it happens!

EDIT - I didn't read y'alls posts on page 5 before i posted this, you guys are killin it.

I wonder if there van broke down or something?

Idk it's honestly kinda fishy? Like maybe there some other musical plans happening.......

random thought, maybe he had trouble booking opening acts for each of the shows? it looks like each of the shows he's actually playing has someone different.

also does special guest Geologist mean Geologist will be doing a solo set?? or that he'll be playing with Avey? Jeremy too...

been a superfan of this band for 12 years and this is the first time i've been really put off and disappointed by anything any of them have done. it's not the worst thing. but he committed to this (v small) tour, playing places with 250-500 cap, if he's losing money perhaps he's touring above his means. It seems like this tour was cornpilled rather flippantly - he delayed announcing it for two weeks, gave a vague explanation, & wasn't transparent about it. "We're not owed anything" - well, people bought tickets to these shows. Some of them probably booked hotel rooms. Again, not the worst thing - other bands are so much worse to their fans than the AC - it's just disappointing coming from Avey. Having said all that, I don't have all the information, if it was really cornpilled because he was going to lose money, if his setup at these shows is complicated compared to the tabletop setup of the 2011 shows. Ultimately I'm really bummed I won't get to see him at Sixth & I. Hope I get to in the future.

Seattle and Portland were both almost completely sold out and they both got cornpilled. I don't think this is a low ticket sales issue. He's only going to the places where he has personal relationships with the venue/booking. Hopefully the reason he's being vague is because there's some sort of new project or plan happening that we will eventually find out about.

well didnt it say he was playing with Geo and Jeremey? So its almost like AC minus panda if he needs Geo and Jeremy's help with this set... and need them or really anyone else would make things more difficult. ya i wish he didnt plan them just to cornpill them too but idk shit happens. maybe he thought itd be a solo thing but it turned out the songs needed other players...

would kill for a tru solo thing with avey on sampler/drum machine like the DT tour...

whatever, im sure we'll get a dope bootleg. i guess (FUK U avey)

They’re opening for Avey not performing with him

Maybe Panda isn't opening for Avey in Lisbon because he's technically a "bigger name" artist and it would increase the venue size / take the focus off Avey

There's still a (probably unlikely) possibility that Noah could make some sort of performing appearance at the show anyway. Obviously one of the reasons why Avey would do a show in Lisbon is to visit Noah's fam so I'd be shocked if he wasn't at least at the show

They’re opening for Avey not performing with him

geo and jeremy opening for him? i thought geo and deakin were doing a thing. unless its a dj set?

shits getting kinda complex with all the different variation of collab possible

geo and jeremy are opening for him at the NY show, just geo is opening for him at the asheville show, and geo and deakin recently performed together in baltimore

I'm p sure it's Geo and Jeremy's show, playing under the Avey Tare moniker

Exactly, Chicago sold out in one day. I have to imagine that the Philly show at Johnny Brenda's (250 cap) was sold out or close to it. Same goes for Sixth & I in DC. And yeah like I said, his solo tour in 2011 was pretty successful. Best we can hope for is some rescheduled dates in the spring maybe, & eventual reveal of whatever the "logistical complications" were, as long as it's a good thing (a new project, a new record, whatever). Yeah it really can't be low ticket sales. Who knows. Not us.

hope he comes out with more details but all we can do is support and hope everythings gucci

The rest

Lemonade and Saturdays. Holy shit. We're in the middle of a second AC golden age and half of y'all are sleeping on it. Feel like Avey is gonna put more stuff out there sooooon

Visuals are rad

Pretty high but ya Saturdays is the best Avey song I've ever heard

all these new songs are fantastic, hope he switches up the setlists for some other shows and gives us the other mothlight tracks too. also, this live performance of when you left me is insanely perfect

the song after lemonade is pure bliss.
Great now I am even more sad about the cornpilling.

But Logistic problems could mean "I am recording guys sorry", no ?

fuck,why did he cornpilled

im so fucking ready. i hope he brings out pal child really bad!!

the song at 50 min is amazing

he has an amazing album on his hands with the new songs and the moonlight one. AC or Solo, but his next thing will be incredible

nice to be back to the boots day

oh how time flies, said my little cousin

Jesus Avey onto some fire lately, his work ethic is just so intense, this band is the best to be a fan of <333

I'm jealous of everyone that gets to see this new set of songs, holy hell you're lucky if so

ya def not bitter about it all. the dude is on some next level paths. this new burialbeatesque stuff sounds mindblowing. right now and bubble are ACE.

was anyone at the sanfran show?

I was at The Chapel last night (along with a pretty full, but not sold out house).

I recorded the full set from the balcony (a great spot for audio). I listened to a little bit of it this morning and it sounds fine. I'll upload it soon.

In the meantime, I'd appreciate some help with the setlist from anyone else who was there. Thanks.

I was also at the chapel. A few of the performances were some of his best. Have a pretty good video recording of the 2nd half of when you left me which I thought was the highlight. Just not sure where to upload it for yall. Also a little bit of man of oil
