Collected Animals

As I asked in my topic, what are the oldest songs in the AnCo discography that have been played? I know AnCo did a modified version of Chocolate Girl back in 2008, but it seems like they started touring with Danse Manatee stuff when they were still a relatively new underground band.

There are no live recordings or set lists, but I recall Avey talking about their first couple of shows in late 2000 being Spirit shows with only himself and Panda Bear. There was a guy on the previous CA who said he saw a lot of these early shows. I believe he was the one who gave us the 2002 Tonic recording

Also I think Dave has talked about playing Penny Dreadfuls (he wrote it at 16) with some of his bandmates while they were still in high school

I thought dave said that there were recordings, but they were stolen or something like that....
either way, yeah there were spirit shows

I think you're right, otherwise they probably would have included some of those recordings on the Crack Box

geo said in an old ca 2 post that I unfortunatly could not save
that avey and panda played an one off acoustic spirit show back in 2000

it was when they were playing the campfire songs, which were also played in 2001

I thought dave said that there were recordings, but they were stolen or something like that....
either way, yeah there were spirit shows

I remember reading somewhere that they had a box full of tapes and stuff stolen out of one of their cars.

Imagine whoever did it, what a gold mine that would be.....

Stopping Avey's car from being broken into is pretty close to Kill Hitler on the list of important things to do with a time machine.

I know AnCo did a modified version of Chocolate Girl back in 2008

Woh, is there audio recording of that available?

EDIT: Nevermind, it was easy to find. For anyone interested,

This thread lists every AC bootleg that we know of. Check it out http://collectedanimals.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=41
