hi y'all! i'm looking for a list of unique live variations of anco/pb/avey/deakin tracks or a list of boots with such revamps. what are some essential gigs with different than studio versions?

i listened to panda's 2021 show at festival brillante and the buoys tracks with beats are so good!!!! i would love more of those crazy different versions.

Avey has done two different great live versions of when you left me. The chapel 2017 and market hotel 2019. 2017 is a minimal acoustic/drone version 2019 is straight up dub. Favorites of mine

Since you mention Panda re-working himself, I always loved his I Think I Can solo at an ATP from before FBK even dropped. Into solo Chores! So might count more as a pre-work than a re-work but still

2009-09-11, Panda
All Tomorrow's Parties, Monticello, NY, U

Weird show in general cuz he's intro'ing TB tracks but still playing Bros and #1. Wild stuff.

great question!

generally, it's always worth checking out the earliest bootlegs (2001–2003) because the band was still experimenting with performance + structure; the earliest performances from each album, where the songs were in their rawest forms; the radio sessions, which have a few songs that didn't necessarily get repeated on stage; and the solo performances, where especially deakin shows (and some of the briefer avey tours) still have big changes, a touring band (earliest panda shows have this as well), etc.

individual shows, roughly chronologically:

panda bear + deakin duo, with a blissed out How To Dive and some songs that never showed up anywhere else

Spoiler: show

freaky first feels bootleg. first song is a version of "ice cream factory", an old song that's included on crack box

parking lot acoustic set of feels songs after the band had a bad/incomplete show after a death in the family

JFW7 I think you mean Ice Cream Factory not Do the Nurse, but dang that was fast! Props

This one closes with a Greaper-era version of YCCOM, he also did a stripped down version for the shows he premiered the homies material at.

2015-01-15
Morning Becomes Electric, KCRW, Santa Monica, CA, USA

I believe Avey did a weird swamp jazz version of Midnight Special at the Birds in Disguise release party.

omg thank you i just realized i dont have pride and fight cant wait to listen

2011 boots are kicking my ass, so good! im looking for the best quality right now..

hove 2008 is underrated, very nice version of comfy and super melancholic daily routine

grass and who can win a rabbit from 2008 are very cool versions as well

i think 2011 and 2017 shows have the most variety?

jfw7, you’re a champion amongst mere mortals!

Imagine if they reworked Street Flash into the Painting With tour. That rework would’ve been RAD.

Post **Posted:** Sun Jan 16, 2022 8:44 pm

2011 shows all have 95% the same set list? they added taste later in the tour but other than that they’re all the same?

yeah looks like it, i just meant in terms of the song arrangements

There was one Feels/Strawberry Jam boot with chores sung by DEAKIN! I don't know the performance bc I lost the folder directory, but the recording was super lossy! I got it off here, so it was probably something from late 2005! Whichever one sounds the crappiest (not grrrnd zero, I mean like underwater crappy, not horrible clipping)

I think this is the earliest solo we got of him singing besides the "waaaaayoooh" and maybe? the chewing meowing sounds when avey's saying "woooaahhh get that woooaaahh get that" in Purple Bottle. Back then people must've been flipping out when they heard this boot, "What, who is this?!" haha

When was that arpeggio-like We Tigers played? I think it was full band, had lots of energy.
Use to love that one!

Post **Posted:** Tue Jan 18, 2022 6:51 pm

Think CHz era had a rare We Tigers where Deakin played guitar

Post **Posted:** Tue Jan 18, 2022 6:58 pm

That We Tigers jam and the guitar tones on Summertime are magnificent.

so glad he brought it back for madrid, he clearly still loves it, i really love that he's playing the riff now with that bare percussion. also still keeping it fresh with those new vocal vamps, he's unstoppable

CHZ tour Pulleys is insane

Post **Posted:** Fri Feb 04, 2022 8:57 pm

on the Paradiso 09 boot some interesting things are going on in extended intros and bridges:

1) At the beginning of Guys Eyes Avey sings 'stay, don't go' over and over (I think he was exorcising some divorce demons at this time), similarly

2) During the Fireworks breakdown he sings over an over 'I was wrong!' it's spooky it's like he's talking directly to Kria/Kristin.

3) There is a FANTASTIC Geo led extended freakout into Lablakely Dress/Fireworks that is completely ecstatic and beautiful.

sweet thread idea!
