[SpiritsCrow]

[Pedrotheporcupine]

he can freestyle as good as any rapper- with notes corresponding to the chords!

[VulpinFoxyFinnland]

i miss the screaming avey! please next album!!!!

[DrObscura88]

0:26 Is fist pumping really necessary?

[VulpinFoxyFinnland]

@DrObscura88 sure

[fadoodle100]

I like this version better(: can I buy this?? Makes me happy, please!! (: I love all of them!!! A vey is my favorite though, andi thinks it's cuz of this video!!,-33

[LoadedCarver9]

does anyone have the lyrics to this version?

[WeLiveToDanceAlone]

this is what it would sound like if it was on strawberry jam, and i gotta say i'm really digging it.

[mudjunky78]

Summertime Clothes. Early version. Pretty awesome :)

[AngeluuNetaaa620]

uhm_Î_fÈÊl_sø_lÔNélY_tODäý

[GreatHeights]

did anyone else see that intense fist pumping in the beginning?

[mutoneon]

What's happened to music in the last decade is a tragedy.

[DavidBowieWuzHere]

Fabio up front!

[chuy611]

this fucking blows more than justin bieber.

[jumaxe]

@chuy611 That's just, like, your opinion man.

[JTHMvolta]

@jumaxe No shit Sherlock? Who else's opinion would it be?

Now that that is out of the way, their live shows are absolutely amazing.

[MilesArdMB]

@chuy611 lol you must listen to nickelback

[MrF1zzy]

Why isn't everyone in that crowd moving. There needs to be girls and guys just dancing constantly with each other.

[garyteasing]

@MrF1zzy its way to light up. people are to focused on the performers. and not enjoying everything with everyone around them that is obviously there for the same reason. i hate concerts like that. when i saw dr dog the only ones dancing where myself and friends. but oh well.

[MrF1zzy]

@garyteasing I mean it's cool and I can dig those sometimes but that music really wants to make me move lol. I'll dance by myself, idc.

[drclown]

hahaha is he just making the verses up on the spot!????

[stripeyninga]

they're fucking nuts! they rock!

got my tickets for winter garden today!!

[SleeperFactory5]

I want to walk around with you Avey...

I like the screaming on this earlier version better...it sounds like it belongs on Strawberry Jam.

[ImNotComfyInNautica]

Where is daily routine!?

I wanna see it

[LouReedsBooks]

this is summertime clothes fyi

[EnokiSkai]

@LouReedsBooks FYI this was in 2007, hence they changed the name, and strawberry jam was the original name

[octopuscollective]

@EnokiSkai they called this bear hug back in the day.. sj was always the name of the album since noah got some sj in a little packet on a plane ride.

[rooftoplaughter]

i fucking love animal collective so much

[skipthestairs]

haha aveys totally winging the words

[peterpanbooboo]

why nobody is dancing?

[musiclovecomedy2630]

4:39 awww the love Animal Collective brings to people :)

[Amandabearish]

so good.

[hussellreilman]

why is this labeled as strawberry jam?

[SpOoOokyGhost]

@hussellreilman when they played this show strawberry jam was there most recent album - recently released at the time this was recorded. That being said, they still had some of their MPP songs ready to go, as you can tell by the different version of summertime clothes they have here. It's probably not referenced in the video title/description because this song was unnamed back then.

[immasuperninja]

some of those niggas have 2 be trippin

[hussellreilman]

they're not niggers you yella bellied queer

[immasuperninja]

sorry but im black and to me every one is a nigga its a term of endearment

[Chacha5678]

@immasuperninja sorry im black and the N word is not a term of endearment

[xxbadasspandaxx]

THATS why i love drugs.

[horhey4]

Like 3 or four guys in the whole crowd are dancing :l

[StickManga]

wow they changed this song alot for the album

[TheDivineAberration]

@StickManga you think this changed alot? you should ssee the version of Taste they played at midifest

[hayward022]

Primus + Tortoise= Animal Collective

[ADdadirector]

i think its amazing how their songs start off one way then they just BURST into a totally different feel, amazing

[swimmergal321]

i wish i was panda bears microphone...

[cmattporter]

@swimmergal321 stick up your vagina

[dylan11dc]

@swimmergal321 pshhhh, i wish i was his fucking underwear, and ima MAN. xD

[darinnear]

perfect.



[HeadNtheClouds]

Does anyone know where I can find a live version of this song to download?, I just love their live songs better than the studio.

I love Panda Bear!!! ; }

[nicky560]

It's so cool how AC tours with the songs for a couple years before they release them on albums -- seems like a great way to polish them. Not to mention it makes concerts more meaningful in terms of originality.

[TerrorBlack]

Pink Floyd did that too

[TheTimeSavers]

I'ts The Singer Who Looks Like Fabio.

[HabanaBoyJDog]

crowd doesnt know whats going on ha

[heavymetalbitch168]

haha! the guy in the yellowshirt is so groovy, makes me so happy ahhaa.

this version's amazing.

[halfemptysmile]

I've known of Animal Collective since their release of Sung Tongs circa 2004 and at that time I couldn't get into their albums. But over the years they've slowly grown on me and now I can't imagine why I never appreciated their music those years ago. The depth to their songs is just mind blowing.

I'd kill to see them in a live enviroment like this. The energy would be rather infectious I would think. I don't know why more people aren't dancing at this particular show. I know I would be.

[blarnach]

This song is actually a rough early version of "summertime clothes". The final song is found on Merriweather Post Pavilion, but this version is representative of what they were transitioning towards between albums. i.e no Deakin/guitar

[Zach3066]

Anyone who doesn't think AC is good live should watch these midi festival vids

[ImNotComfyInNautica]

My!

That scream!

Still gives me chills.

[VeryAmpersand]

I'm very jeleous that you thought of that name first.

[schmitty3]

so much better

[ohsem]

Lol, was that Fabio's little bro in the front, lol.

[jaycodunco]

hahaha at 2:00? classic!

[ohsem]

Hehehe, yeah...

[RyanWatson]

is that Fabio? Didn't know he was French or that he liked the AC.

old lyrics are so good imo

[Kidrobo24]

guy in the yellow shirt's still jammin'.

[andersersand]

This older version feels so much more powerful

[bigllamatom]

Oh jeez. I though music was done with doing stuff like this :/

[ryanfrailich]

i love animal collective's music! it puts a smile on my face!

[DrPoon]

This is on Merriweather post pavilion not strawberry jam

[drunkfunkmonkey]

actually its a completely different version than whats on merriweathet

[SoulAtZero88]

"Completely Different" may be a bit strong. I mean its quite obviously SC.

[Kanadianas]

So you're saying it belongs to strawberry jam more than on merriweather?

[drunkfunkmonkey]

its an earlier version probably started closer to the time they were working on strawberry jam, dont really know though

[colinohyeah17]

lyrically yes completely different, beat wise somewhat similar.....

[Tron1276]

absolutely BRILLIANT 'early version'...

[47935]

guy in the yellow is feeling it

[s8terblood11]

haha i think hes high

[lolxhaxx]

i like the way the title of the video is "Strawberry Jam" and this song wouldnt be released until 2 years after.

[Liquefaction78]

I love when he screams.

[theblastocyst]

yea he doesn't even do that anymore. it's a shame

[Liquefaction78]

I'm guessing he's scared of losing his voice again.

[NadeNowle]

lol @ fabio at 2:00

[imbalancingact]

Same here! lol

[VisualFixation]

going to see them tonight in Philadelphia. CANT WAIT!

[hollleee]

haha, 1:20 - strained-neck-screaming to mellow-be-bopping in the span of a second.

i love it.

[dadadevo]

wow, so intense, his shouting in this one. Ive seen him scream before but this was like next level.

[s8terblood11]

sounds a bit like conor oberst.

thats who i thought it was when i first heard it

[mistertfool12]

are you retarted or something?

[s8terblood11]

no i just never heard of this band til i heard em on the radio. and the guys voice is a lot like conor oberst.

[SnowiQ]

Hahahhaha what the FUCK?

[Ghettofarmerboy]

arnt these lyrics different than the album version?

[Jangaboo]

yeppers, this is a work in progress version it seems

i kinda like it better cuz its simpler

[Ghettofarmerboy]

agreed. i like the chrous better.

[Jangaboo]

you can tell the band is really into this performance compared to other ones, crowd and band feeding each other

[Kidrobo24]

fabio wannabe in the front

[Bunnylavoie]

i missed the screaming, when i heard it on the album.

i love the lion-man, with the hairy chest though, you can tell he has no idea what he's doing there. but he's trying to look suave about it.

[jddeitz2000]

You, dont, know, how, to, use, nevermind, ur, still, cool, bro,.

[nciviero]

I love it how the lyrics of their songs keep changing, keeps it interesting

[PATYPUS3]

Instead of Animal Collective this group should call itself Rich Libereral Art Students with No talent who have No musical talent that people love because they really Don't listen to Music. Well, when I hear this mish mash, that's what I think. I'd rather listen to coins in a drying machine.

[eliaskollado]

i bet you listen to rap music...

that is shitty music...

[PATYPUS3]

You bet right. However, I've listened to Zorn, John Cage, Harry Partch, Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Pharoah Sanders, Frank Zappa, Tortoise, etc. Have you? If you think rap is shitty music check out anti pop consortium or Freestyle Fellowship. But I will give Animal Collective some credit. They created a genre of music: Rich Kid Drug Tunes For Artless Hipsters. 10 - 15 years from now this music will be obsolete and forgotten. Enjoy otherwise.

[boredtrophyhusband]

dang listening to all those musicians you mentioned makes you so much better than the person you're arguing against. music is music man, it's a shame that some artists get lumped into a genre of music or in a category such as "music for hipsters".

[PATYPUS3]

Wow, I came off as a shitster. I'm merely a talentless critic. However, I'm honest. I'm told I should like this miss mash. You dig and I don't. I'll continue to listen tho. No hard feelings. Check out John Fruciante "usually just a t-shirt" tho.

[boredtrophyhusband]

everybody has different tastes and that should be respected, no prob man. I enjoy john frusciantes music.

[PATYPUS3]

My mother is a hipster. She has prison tats on her face and she used to be groupie for the Smiths. That's why I hate hipsters, I'm traumatized. Also check out Leon Redbone.

[boredtrophyhusband]

hahaha, alright thanks

[drunkfunkmonkey]

You shouldn't listen to music because someone told you to, no one ever told me to listen to animal collective i found them on my own, and it took me a VERY long time to even get into one song, I'm probably the opposite of a hipster, i'm not even really sure what that means, but I've gradually grown to love animal collectives music on my own.

[PATYPUS3]

Well, I do what I'm told.  And I've gradually grown to hate this group. But hate is an abstract concept much like love and animal collective.

[cooombooo]

what's wrong with finding new music through other people?

[drunkfunkmonkey]

nothing i just find that i appreciate music more when i find it on my own and alot of times i will resent a band if i dont immediately like or understand their music and someone is trying to convince me how good it is... which is how i think alot of people feel about this group

[eliaskollado]

this music will be forgotten by who?

well everyone listens to different kind of music, i myself like this band a lot and i listen to it every single day.

This band is really awesome it reminds me of sigur ros and porter for some reason....

[SpaceStormy]

I think that coins in a drying machine would sound really cool.

[PATYPUS3]

Try putting puppies and empty beer bottles in a dryer. Pure cacaphonic splendor.

[xfugx]

I want to walk around with you.

[kissmeiamdumb]

HAHA! he DOEs dance like dinosaur!

[crankthetoto]

he dances like a dinosaur

[Naeux]

"Extrait of "Strawberry Jam"

Meaning?

This music is from the "Merriweather Post Pavillion" album, Strawberry Jam came earlier.

[enderletters2u]

we know dude. shushhhh

[zmsquee]

I wish you could hear the bass

[Milt0nBradley]

1:20... i could listen to that all day. intense

[sohailio11]

fucking retards

[sohailio11]

My friend posted this on my name seconds ago. If you're gonna yell at me, direct the insults to "Sohail". I love AC, just so everyone knows

[stoplying]

@ :25...Fist Pump. Nice!!!

[Pawl2]

[Nickdude6]

[RyanWatson]

[oaoii]

2:38 fuck you fuck you cuckoo cuckoo

[oaoii]

2:00 best dude ever

[nbarrasse]

haha i've noticed him in all these videos...ridiculous

[lespaulnasty31]

ghetto Fabio

[tweekskratch]

YEAH rockin out to the midi...

[Pawl2]

they need to add a lot of the great elements in this version with their new version, the lyrics of 'summertime clothes' are so good but this one just makes me happier with all the screams and the crazy high singing.

[fantasticskeetskeet]

i absolutely agree, i love this version, i listen to this song to get pumped up.

[garfieldel]

That scream at 1:20...

[silentsean602]

I wish Avey kept the screams in the newer version.

[starsszz]

i agree

[nicospico123]

this is straight i guess, and it is on the new album but like there isnt really much of a melody. i like the chorus and im interested to see what the studio version will be like, but damn, fans of animal collective overate them so much

[240sxpower]

It's your own opinion , it took me 6 months to like them . Now I'm really addicted . I ain't bitching your commentary , I just learned to like them . Maybe I have the same opinion about one of your favorite band

[brobrobro5]

overate? really?....I think you mean overrate dude.

Can't wait for the new album.

[nicospico123]

don't be a cock about spelling. you knew what i meant. i've heard the studio versions of brothersport and bluish though. in my opinion, brothersport sucks in any version, but the clip of bluish is really nice. AC is still overRated though.

[Dorchester155]

Where can I hear "bluish"?

[nicospico123]

my friend emailed it to me. i dont know where he downloaded it but im pretty sure that most of the websites that had leaked material had to take it down.

[nicospico123]

i actually just got a full download of the album just by search for a leak on google. it's pretty sweet.

[TweezerRepriser]

sad that this song isn't on the new record :(

[skeglioso]

yes it is

[dc4cshmogle]

It will be on the album. This song is called "Summertime Clothes"

[Pawl2]

jesus avey is so good at making melodies.

[Pawl2]

why no deakin? did they kick him out?

[silentsean602]

hes just taking a break.

[valenciajohn101]

love so much! wbernfurebnvirevnbierbnvirebvn­i god Ac

[schmitty3]

i love aveys hops on the chorus parts

[victormiller]

[daantjuh15]

[Michellentine]

Greatest band on the planet.

[seminole117]

[lancemajor]

[lancemajor]

[fromforests]

[dianeticstu]

[sadavalon]

Next song was Daily Routine.

[massflypaper]

woot, panda bear!

i love their crazy shit! yay!

[ledfan64]

what the hell was this guy on

[fantasticskeetskeet]

not musically comparative, but this is the next phish.

[nicky560]

next Pink Floyd, next Led Zeppelin...you name it, these guys are a sure bet...

I saw them in July of 08 and they blew me away. Awesome future for these dudes...

[fantasticskeetskeet]

i meant they would have the same following as phish really...i don't see AC as floyd like or zep like though. its they way they can communicate on stage like phish would.

[andreassilva]

this music is from what album? does anybody knows?

[Hybrination]

the album isn't out yet, it's the next one

[andreassilva]

somebody is writing messages from my account :s

anyway, i hope this album come out quickly

[Nicoyutub]

this isn't from strawberry jam, it's from the next one. this rules
