Animal Collective - Who Could Win a Rabbit? - 9/24/07

[SleepyDoughnut]

I love how they go back in forth in like a fake language at the beginning.

[wildbill64ful]

i love avey tare's lower harmony when he says good habits sooo good

[ChikaraGuy]

Slenderman attended this concert, but mysteriously left after this song.

[blakcpavement]

i like the part where they're awesome

[fuckfacevisions]

this song makes me cum my pants

[giantgrowth1]

I kind of agree with Roxy. I think lots of people like to like Animal Collective more than they actually enjoy listening to the music...they are good tho :D

[MrAnarchyintheusa]

how did i miss this tour?

[RoxyKilled94]

I want to start things off by saying that Animal Collective is an amazing band. I prefer the Sung Tongs/Prospect Hummer era Animal Collective personally. What I do hate about A.C. is the fans. You hipsters need to get a life and quit saying "you just don't get it." when someone says something negative about a band you like.

Fun Fact: most of you who say "you just don't get it" are just trying to sound cool and probably don't get it yourself.

Peace.

Rock on Animal Collective.

[MilesArdMB]

What is everybody talkin about this performance is amazing, at least thats what i think haha i love it

[slatersec2]

like a thousand times!

[PullingOut]

you either get it, or you don't. I love it.

[afglazer]

wow. i love ac but this is terrible

[FQuezo]

medleying with reverend green

[ZZXdestruction]

ouch

[suckmywaffle]

hell yesh

[zacharyzweifler]

The recorded version of this song is awesome but this is just the shittiest musical performance i have ever seen. anyone who thinks this is good live music i feel very sad for

[SaidTheDolphin]

@zacharyzweifler are you kidding me?? ok sure their vocals are a bit off but you can still see and feel that they're putting a lot of energy into it, this would be an amazing thing song to experience live. I love the album version of this too but IMO this live, electronic version is even better.

[dyltr0n3030]

@zacharyzweifler quite sad how you consider this being the "shittiest musical performance" you've ever seen. animal collective is so much differnent than anything i've ever heard before in my lifetime. i don't think you appreciate the fact that they put so much effort into their performances that it's perpostrous to think they suck live. sure it may not be for everyone but soley if you're a fan you would be jammin right there in the crowed w/ the band. get out of here.

[coolnesss16]

Telling someone they listen to nickelback is a dumbass insult. :)

[iamjoedubois]

@coolnesss16 nope, its a really good one.

[clubzen]

wow these guys are psychadelic! leave it to animal collective to sample their own song and reinvent it

[TheRedHutt]

I much prefer the album version with guitars.

[raarset1]

fuck me. not as good as nickelback, but still damn good. :)

[ItsGettingColder1]

@raarset1 lol what

[Zerrith]

@raarset1 Come on guys it's no Beiber but this is good stuff.

[CiyderX]

am sorry but this is just bad.

[steviethellama]

@CiyderX

I don't respect the opinion of anyone who pronounces 'I'm' as 'am'.

[CiyderX]

wuts wrong ya dont like country folk sonie?! its called type 'o ya douchebag ya ever here of that round there in the city?

[elliebobellie89]

I love this version.

[birdablaze]

lmao

I miss those shows. You had the choice to be close and NOT be smashed by sweaty boys and tweens.

I probably won't go see them live again. It's just not enjoyable being crushed.

[Zerrith]

@birdablaze What they're too popular now? Concerts are really crowded?

[birdablaze]

@Zerrith

Exactly. I went to all three Florida shows and all three were in HUGE clubs but still people were packed in like sardines and the crowd was much younger so they were jumping around and pushing hard to the front the entire time. Maybe thats why its so crowded - assholes like me going to every show. heh. But still, its just too much.

I bet they move to stadiums soon. Definitely not going to that. 20 feet between the crowd and the band = not cool.

[vandrew12]

esto es genial.

[Goomba4001]

Avey seems totally drunk, and is he saying "a butt" in the beginning? Sounds nice regardless.

[twopoint0]

He and Panda did mushrooms before the show and agreed to sing what they were seeing.

Apparently, Panda saw Donald Duck.

[idontknough]

don't you mean DAFFY Duck? :)

[merk22]

wait, what?!?

[spaceorgysyndicate]

so good haha so fast

[foolassfool]

wheres geologist?

[sensweep]

i think this was when they were still a 2 man band

[spaceorgysyndicate]

if it's 2007 then it isn't

[sensweep]

oh sorry nevermind then

[spaceorgysyndicate]

yeah no worries

[DjArlaaa]

a 2man band...?

[xtigermilk]

look @ 0:38 he is the dancing light

[Goomba4001]

On the left. You can only really see the light from his helmet thing though.

[djdamhsa]

he's there pause the vid as soon as it starts and there's geo

[molesticles]

@foolassfool There was no geologist it was just your imagination all a long

[michcota]

Can you elaborate at all?

[PompousLummox]

It's just not the same without Deekin on guitar

[americasayslol]

deakin didnt play guitar on sung tongs.... it was just avey and panda.

[Havenscope]

True, but it's still better with guitars, in my opinion.

[JamieBarnes11]

Not really a fan of this version at all.

[drstrangeluv25]

Wow, I don't remember them coming to the Gargoyle last year...

[kajackyl]

don't thumbs down me you sensitive pricks, I love this band

[queboutio]

i think they're hating on your new perspective

[kajackyl]

that's because all animal collective fans are close minded

[michcota]

Close minded doesn't come into my head when I think Animal Collective.

[kajackyl]

thats because you are so close minded you cant even open your mind to the close mindedness of animal collective

[michcota]

A band that tries to push limits using minimal concepts is not close mindedness. The personality that shows through their music is like art to me. How dare you even accuse anyone of being close minded? That alone is a really egotistical remark. You just assume that because Animal Collective is close minded, all their listeners must be as well? You can't compare people to other people, and you can't compare music to other music.

[kajackyl]

typical close minded argument

[foolassfool]

u know ur just a twat kajackyl

[kajackyl]

and you're just a fool ass fool

[foolassfool]

truly hilarious

[steviethellama]

@michcota

You're being trolled bro lol.

[michcota]

I had to give up.

[reverendrex]

Is this just Avey and Panda at this gig?

[ofarevolution441]

Geologist is kind of hiding in a corner, but he's there.

[Playdohmouse]

you can see his headlight around :40

[starsszz]

oh my god they are a blast

[insatiabletom]

open your mind, bro

[zcallins]

Cleverrrrrrrrr.

[AndrewRyderPert]

it was pretty clever

[cuttoothom]

awesome

[Playdohmouse]

how gay are you?

[kajackyl]

very

[PirateHorse]

I agree.

[steviethellama]

@kajackyl

Pahahahaha.

I love this band with all my heart but that's fucking hilarious.

[Glliow]

i lold so much..

[reverendrex]

Can't decide if I like the live or studio version better

[dkstojentin]

well, they look like a bunch of assholes. What a group of untalented, whiny fucks these are! I hate this music. It's proof to me that certain people should be exterminated.

[obie1963]

You're so silly.

[fjallman90]

wheres geologist?

[CatalystDM]

He's there... you can see him on the left of the screen at 2:30.

[ofarevolution441]

Just saw the whole thing.

SO GOOD.

[capnlunatic]

avey: "let's do it! let's do it!"

panda: "why not do it?"

[killerdynam0]

haha creepiest version of wcwar EVER

[greenwhiteyellow]

animal collective is the best

[greenwhiteyellow]

[greenwhiteyellow]

[tnthbo]

[tnthbo]

go to hell

[tnthbo]

[killerdynam0]

i bet you listen to nickelback.

[BrendanIsCool]

damn straight dood

[obie1963]

Haha. You like ALANIS MORISETTE. Get out of here cowboy. You're a fool and nobody takes you seriously.

[willf0rce]

internet tough girl detected!

[greenwhiteyellow]

I like them

[greenwhiteyellow]

I saw them in coachella

[greenwhiteyellow]

these guys are fantastic

[qevivaelperu]

ANIMAL COLLECTIVE = SHIT

[LeSexisme]

you're so awesome man, spending your own time looking up videos you don't like and saying stupid shit about it. Man, you know how to use time wisely. You're my hero.

[qevivaelperu]

and you a stupid woman

[cookingwithmonkey]

tickles

[TigerCatPanda]

this song is 10x better live. great song, great vid.

[zurdokmexico]

oh gran concierto, gran video.

[narikiri]

Priceless.

[benji55545]

he's in the far left corner. he was hidden behind the pa. you can see him right at the start of the video and in the background behind panda sometimes.

[TigerCatPanda]

great vid. wheres geo? was he no there that night?

[spaniard1895]

great vid. BUT IT AINT ENOUGH!

maybe millions upon thousands have wondered this question im bout to ask: what exactly do panda and avey shout at each other? anyone got examples of what exactly theyre yellin out in most of their songs?

[kilon828]

Thats part of the mystery behind AC! I personally think (again, just my opinion) its the logic of using the voice as an instrument to make it almost primal, breaking down music to emotion.

[spaniard1895]

i read it was one or both of htese options:

1. to test the delay setttings and effects.

2. to signal each other to start or see if theyre ready.

"set!" "start-art-art-art!"

[TheVomit]

Hahaha. Who knew they were speaking in code all this time?
