Collected Animals

Let's say that AC decided to do one really big show for their last ever show. What would your set be? Try to keep it realistic in terms of lengths, lets say no more than 20 songs, although a few more would be okay cuz its the last show!!

Turn Into Something

Went three over 20, but it was hard to fit everything in. Tried to make sure there was a variety of songs from each era mixed around as much as possible.

EDIT: Realized I totally overlooked Hollinndagain, moved things around.

glad these sets are all 5 hours long

Pride and fight for 5 hours slowly building to a crescendo as they come to haul everyone away

just thinking about a last ever show makes me too depressed to even start a list

glad these sets are all 5 hours long

its not *that* unrealstic, I guess

i mean the smashing pumpkins went nearly 5 1/2 for their "last show" in 2000

This is a good thread... i wanted to do a similar dream set list and here we are ...

I need like some good time to think about that ...amatureadult youre list as great as is ....

No way anco would ever do ...good list though haha lol omg fuck you jk

Haha thanks man. The problem is I'd be unsatisfied with any 'last show.' I'd always want more.

By the time of their final show the boys will have locked into Springsteen levels of endurance.

the final show of the original Smashing Pumpkins run was 4+ hours, broken into three or four main sets with four encores. the AC have so much music and so much ground to cover, if they were ever to call it a day and play a final show in that tradition, it would have to be super long and encompassing of their whole career.

I don't like to think about this

i think it's going to happen sooner rather than later unfortunately... I bet Avey wants to continue recording and touring with the AC until he's an old man just like the Dead, but I'm guessing Noah feels completely different... I think as they hit 40, we could see extended hiatuses and maybe even an official breakup.

^ya rooster quibbles with the exclusive insider info...like where tf did you get any of that shit man LOL...and u know its not just avey and panda right there are two other whole people that bring so much to both records

theyve been playing music together for longer then theyve actually been known to the public and i think theyll keep doing it because of the crazy creative and emotional connection thse four guys have.. them being a collective pushes that forward too so if one member isnt feeling it they can pursue another project and come back for the next one...

no need to be needlesssly cynical off no info

and u know its not just avey and panda right there are two other whole people that bring so much to both records

eyvind kang is a busy dude

But Animal Collective isn't a band, so how could they ever really break up?

"Sorry fans, we are officially calling this Animal Collective movement dead in the water."

Though I do agree we may have do endure longer stretches between albums as they get older. Kids grow up though and as they do the fathers of the group will have more freedom.

and in those possible gaps we'll get a lotta solo projects prob too...so we'll never be without music

Really praying for future tours so it'd have to have songs AC hasn't made yet
