i will indeed! see you there???

And, does this start at 7 or 8???

according to my event reminder email, it starts at 8

FYI, as of today, tonight's show in Oakland is officially sold out in advance:

http://apeconcerts.com/event/1016109-an ... e-oakland/

venue has three floor levels, if you dont wanna get locked out of going on the closest floor level i advise getting there early, atleast by 8 for ratking

venue usually starts when it says, so im imagining ratking to play right at 8, animal collective at 9

I'm here (tho posting from Rudy's cafe) with a White bucket hat blue jacket green shirt. Be back in a sec. Say wassup if you see me!

I really wasn't feeling it tonight. I don't know if my ears are jacked up but the sound was like I was in a tin can. Like everything around felt kinda quiet and reverbed too much. Am I crazy? I was standing near front center so maybe the fact the speakers were parallel to me was causing it. I dunno.

was standing next to the sound booth with curved and it sounded soooo goooood

i really enjoyed the show tho i don't think the sound was the greatest

i thought the alvin->jimmy->burglars sequence to close the main set was pretty fantastic

pretty much immediately after the lights went up i heard multiple people around me whining that "they only played the worst song off mpp" smh

Whaaaaa??? Daily routine was fucking dope without a doubt. Those total silences over the end were amazing

I quite enjoyed it. First time seeing them live and was grateful to end up right in front of panda bear. I had watched plenty of love videos of them and knew the sound was going to be v different from recordings. Wasn't super impressed with the sound for the most part but loved the arrangements, transitions, and finally seeing panda bear in person.

super happy bout this show. I ended up right in front of avey and I dunno, I thought the sound was good. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.

I had a balcony ticket but managed my way to the front... didn't see or recognize anyone....... but I had a good time overall! Loch raven and bees and alvin row, i loved it

Damn this show was awesome. I had a great spot right up and center on the first balcony terrace thing right above GA. I took this video, wish I would have filmed more but I was too caught up in the show!

^that vid is siiiiiick thank you

I also thought the sound was not good, and I was standing around the middle middle. but I usually don't like the sound at the fox.

got stuck by a lot of weirdos and loudmouths and kind of had a bad time! the performance was amazing though. beautiful to see multiple crowd surfers during alvin row. and panda can siiiiing dang.

There where some bro types constantly blowing weed smoke everywhere, that's pretty typical of the Fox. But the crowd surfing was awesome. I've never seen that at an AnCo show before. SO COOL!

MANZO, u the man! I was just thinking to myself "wish I could relive that shit like RIGHT NOW"

avey's dance moves. the best.

Loch Raven! Bees! Alvin Row! Daily Routine! The versions of these were so insanely good. Really awesome selection of old jams. The new jams also sound incredible live. I was especially into Hocus Pocus, Golden Gal, and Burglars. Also the transition from LITG to Bees was incredible. When the drums for LITG started up and the auto harp from Bees was getting all chopped up i was losing my shit. The sound was definitely not the best, but it only really detracted from my enjoyment of Hounds because i don't know that track like I know all the others. Jimmy worked really well sandwiched between Alvin and Burglars though.

avey's dance moves. the best.

avey's dancing 100% made my night

Glad you guys like the video! I'm going to the Primavera festival in Spain later this year and I'm going to try to record the whole set... hopefully! I'll bring my good camera too.

Fun show last night. Definitely better than the last time I saw them (Treasure Island 2013, so cooold). I recorded audio of the complete show (from center loge). Haven't had a chance to listen yet, but if it sounds decent I'll edit it and upload to the LMA soon. I also shot one video but that will take longer (need to sync with the audio recording, etc.).

^yesssss you are a hero

and ditto about treasure island...I was helping my buddy film the festival, and I got to go up in a cherry picker during animal collective...in the freezing cold wind...and thought I was gonna die. haha

cherry picker shot @ 2:18 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIdvxoA ... be&t=2m18s

Still can't believe I made it to this... Ive known and loved AnCo since 2006, this is my first time seeing them live... I will always remember this...

Just one question, what are all those shirts on the second merch photo, I haven't heard about those in discussion. I assume they're Ratking merch?

yeah those were for ratking
