Animal Collective - The Purple Bottle

[JonUkutube]

ha i think they should keep doing this but they could do better on there live performances, they should take time out like they do on there albums to create a great show

[SuperBernardshakey]

4:50 : panda bear lookalike

[Re8eccAlice]

Has anyone else noticed that everyone in Animal Collective seems to be deeply opposed to blue jeans?

[MattSturg]

i'm really glad he does more than drum, but watching panda jam out back there is so awesome.

[emilyyyyy69]

i hate the fact how the crowd is just standing there and not showing any excitement/appreciation atleast dance jump anything!!

[GoOnMaggotBrain]

@emilyyyyy69 usually i don't move when allowing a song to really soak in over me. its too hypnotic and spellbinding to get up and move.

[TheJabberwock]

this whole shit is bananas!

[EffYourEffingLife]

The whole crowd is so stoned.

[fadoodle100]

percussion is beast

[TheColorChris]

@AndyTabelz where?

[littlec916]

best animal collective performance on youtube. next to the brother sport performance in france.

[AndyTabelz]

@littlec916 there's an epic performance of purple bottle better than this one with the we bid you goodnight intro

[youbegintowonder]

@AndyTabelz where?

[AndyTabelz]

@youbegintowonder watch?v=0lws6P53wVo

[youbegintowonder]

@AndyTabelz thank you

[alliant]

@littlec916 amen

[spreadyalikecheese]

Where can I download this version?

[oklabama1]

I don't know what's wrong with that crowd. When I saw these fellas I went nuts. Just about shot a load for "Did You See the Words".

[krixxx888]

girl in 1:12 is like "wtf am i doing here"

[theatlfilmprojects]

@krixxx888 I'll take her ticket off her hand..

[chrisbfreelance]

To be fair this is in the UK and at a point when the collective were not as big as they were MPP period, compared to most of the bands at the festival at that time Animal Collective would be a completely new experience.

[Dudeman91]

yeah what a shit hole audience

[ethanw125]

1 of my fav. Amazing!!!

[omgnickd]

i just hate that everyone in the crowd is just standing there. i'd kill to be at that show.

[mingram6]

i cant decide if this is my favorite AC song or if it is "i think i can"

[w4r7]

what the farm is up with this crowd??? this performance is bad ass and the kids are lost and like ....?

[rainbowbritewolfgang]

@w4r7 its the acid



[thisisfuckinggay5000]

@rainbowbritewolfgang i love acid. and animal collective.

[tobarrr]

@thisisfuckinggay5000 me too!

[tkw1bmx]

I couldnt help but get that scared but excited but not willing to completely let go feeling when they all started dancing at the end.How the fuck is the band moving and your in the crowd resting your head. I wouldnt go kick her in her gooch but id go back in time and steal her tickets, no question.

[lesliewinkdesign]

damn i have watched this a bunch

[bigmanpigman]

Gives a feeling from your bottled little part

[DangTheWang12]

you know what people are disappointed that they aren't playing old stuff live right now, but fuck it, it's their band, I'd get fucking bored playing these same songs too, not to mention how much energy goes into to performing a song like this carbon copy of Album version... which to my observation, this is the best live version of this song on Youtube.

[emiliogps]

coolest song ever

[Grievous129]

Deakin is epic!

[ohfoolishworkerbee]

i see deacon as more the rocker guy.... he just wants to play guitar, y'know?

[eliwamo]

Avey, the loud kid.

Panda, the multi-talented kid.

Geologist, the silent master of ambiance.

Deakin.... That awkward guy.

[DylanAlexx]

@eliwamo uhm, Deakin is a God.

[eliwamo]

@DylanAlexx All of those bros are. Deakin is awkward though, admit it! Haven't you seen Oddsac!?

[EScholarBoulder]

@eliwamo Deakin is extremely talented. I saw him play his solo stuff in Boulder and he killed it. I talked with him for awhile and he is a passionate about what he does and he's great at it. The tuning that he uses and structures of the work he has done with animal collective and solo songs are mind boggling. In short, he is a crucial member of the collective and I did not notice anything awkward.

[alliant]

@eliwamo lol. nah.

[soccercude]

I've seen this video like 30 times and every time I see that dumb bitch at 1:12, I just wanna punch her in her fucking gooch.

[LukeCurryMusic]

@soccercude I wanna punch her in the gunt

[6nixus]

Ima go see Animal collective and not move a muscle

[EvanTheMute]

oooh, oooohh, ooooooh!, oooOOH!!, ooOOOOHH!!, OOOOOOH!!!, OOOOOOH!!!!

[REDOOR18]

dam i wish i was there :O

[aarossell]

538 people like Stevie Wonder and / or Animal Collective

[DannyBoredoms]

Holy fuck that drumming is amazing 

[GreatHeights]

I love how after all his screaming he just quietly says, "thanks" all calm and collected.

[DrunkAtheist]

I'm Scottish. The crowd at this festival is notoriously terrible. It's no surprise that Animal Collective got this reaction.

[ohhhhhdavid]

Every live video some asshole complains about the crowd. SHUT THE FUCK UP. You weren't there. Every crowd has its own dynamic. That doesn't take away from how good the music is.

[FWF1991]

This one's for Stevie Wonder!



[STEEZEMCGEE]

@FWF1991 why is it for stevie?

[tahl112]

@STEEZEMCGEE They use lyrics from a song of his; couldn't get permission for the album so they like to do it live

[sfdallator]

@STEEZEMCGEE 3:49



[kblavie]

Sometimes I wonder if the reason crowds look so bored during great songs is because they don't know what song it is, almost like listening to something good for the first time, but a little confused...............no these motherfuckers are just lame, how can you NOT know Purple Bottle?

[iarekyle]

What a lame-ass crowd, Sorry AC, I would have been in a fit of pure bliss if I was there. 

[wutangforever34]

this gets me so hyped up!!!!! this crowd is LAME.

[pastoryam]

I have seen them 4 times without Deakin. But damn I need to see them with Deakin,

[offthewallman]

@pastoryam I saw Deakin's solo show...he is incredible. Different than anything I've heard from them. Deakin was a great addition to Oddsac.

[LucidDream]

Man they did such a great performance the crowd just looks bored.

[andrewkoechling]

oh man, a little overwhelmed. awesome. looks like the singer's wearing a clay pot for a hat.

[TheColorChris]

best eight minutes i've ever spent on youtube.

[TheColorChris]

best eight minutes i've ever spent on youtube.

[virnoi]

WELL SILENCE IS A BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[alliant]

feels sounds really shoegazey to me. like waves and waves of orgasm.

[shelciAKAlilshadler]

His screams are amazing. Best song♥ I want them to come to florida:(

[sanjinface]

If there ever was a time where I truly cannot relate to someone, it is to those people who managed to press the dislike button for this video. a big "Fuck you" to all of you....

[epilepticteen]

6:51 OMG those screams

[Unremarkable1000]

That's the worst crowd I've ever seen, bunch of fucking zombies. If anyone who was at that gig is watching this video, FUCK YOU. You suck!

[trumpterman]

crushhhh high don't want it to stop

[LicoriceLain]

Is it bad that I always imagined that all the members contributed to the vocals? o_O

[misterbizzones]

@LicoriceLain well, two of them do.

[epilepticteen]

@LicoriceLain no. its cool. Avey and Pandy contribute vocals depending on the song and/or album and sometimes Deakin does background vocals.

[LicoriceLain]

@epilepticteen Ah, ok. I am just glad that I now know. XD

[over9000bottlecaps]

@LicoriceLain i thought the same thing until i started watching them on youtube

[platypae333]

@LicoriceLain Only Panda Bear and Avey Tare.

[DropDeadCouture]

wow this band is really awesome :) i just found out about them in a video making fun of hipsters, lol. sweet band

[superpuuuper]

How can all these people possibly stand still????

[DropDeadCouture]

@superpuuuper idk.

[Badman2123]

@superpuuuper

Seriously! Im on morphine and valium and im dancing out like a fucking crazy person! ANIMAL COLLECTIVE WOOOOOOOOOOT!

[estakeylime]

This is music.

[JosephErnestHarper]

Love Avey's snowboarder chic.

[nightfalls1]

Animal Collective are the sound of the universe giving you the thumbs-up.

[MyMusicisColor]

@coglongshooter Hey buddy, go fuck yourself.

[coglongshooter]

@MyMusicisColor i would say the same thing to you, but this "music" has already done that for you.

[HockeyPunk911]

So much energy. The crowd doesn't look their feelin it though

[GsusBaby]

this is my favorite animal collective live video

[Bringerd95]

i like the beat but the singer is ass

[MonsieurIdioteque]

@Bringerd95

you really think he's bad? o_o

[Bringerd95]

@MonsieurIdioteque his voice is kinda of annoying

[RITUALTORTURE666]

STEVIE!!!!!!!!!

[FQuezo]

Geo is a pretty cool fella

[MEEOOWMEOW]

10 dudes had their monitors upside down

[GsusBaby]

Man, I really hope Panda gets back behind the kit on their next album.

[Grievous129]

@GsusBaby I do too. Also Deakin back on Guitar would be nice after his solo album comes out whenever that is.

[FsharpAsharpInfinity]

@GsusBaby your wish is coming true

[Maaaxify]

@GsusBaby actually he did ^^

[jamesmattgreen]

@GsusBaby i think he is.



[starlafur]

what the hell is wrong with everyone?? Id be off the wall if I got to see this live!

[MirroredxGh0st]

fuck that fat bitch who looked bored in the front row

[xbyiu97]

1:13 get your hand off your fucking face, can't you see that this is animal collective?

[joshbog]

The drumming is amazing

[LPjsf45]

Panda Bear. The End.

[GsusBaby]

lol @ Deakin's little dance 7:49

[OrTheFuturist]

i love their electronic sensible side but i still miss this crazy tribal side of theirs... <3

[ciggycigarello]

This ones for Stevie Wonder.

[iLLmaticV3]

Looks like an amazing live performance! I wish I was there :(

[thisisrobertb]

Gotta love the look Avey gives the crowd @ 6:47 ... He then screams his head off. What a pure performer, it's like he's sticking up for a friend... the friend being his song.

[mabbitymab]

uh, can we stop calling the bored girl @1:13 a 'fat bitch'?  i agree that she has terrible taste in music, but its offensive.

[aesrp]

@mabbitymab how does she have terrible taste in music? Man you people are super quick to judge and make assumptions about people...

[arefx]

I never thought i'd see a panda bear rape a couple drums like that ;)

[DIGITALBATT]

FUCKING FAT FUCK PIECE OF SHIT at 1:13

[mhmmitskiera]

pardon me, IF i don't get chills :)

[mhmmitskiera]

this may sound a bit pretentious or hipster-like BUT..the other morning on the way to school i was listening to this specific live version at 6:17 - 6:27. It was really beautiful because when Avey Tare began to "wooohoooo", some rays of sun showed through the trees perfectly...it actually made my eyes fill up and gave me chills.

i now consider every time i hear this song to be a "bad" listen on my part is i don't get chills....i love you animal collective.

[yeahyeahyaha2]

@mhmmitskiera 10-4 mate

totally agree, what's u're favorite version of this song?? mine is this

[Fat1Rulez]

@mhmmitskiera this shit is pussy.

[Fat1Rulez]

oh god this is good.

[SkateFDRgnar]

the fat bitch at 1:13 with your hand holding your fat head up. I hope you read this you fat bitch! im so happy you didnt understand what you saw there that night. idiot

[Fat1Rulez]

@SkateFDRgnar fat bitch!

[ThatKrissyChick]

This is probably one of the most beautiful songs ever. Those lyrics are just so sweet.

[Surge3k]

3:30



[daaaaabom]

@Surge3k YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!111111111111­111

[andtheman1]

Fucking dankes thing I have ever seen in my life

[Grievous129]

AMAZING!!!!!

[politicalanomaly]

look at the lively expressions on the crowds face. haha

[ireallyloveboxxy]

one of my favourite bands annoying some Scots =) heavenly

[ruisergilo]

@ireallyloveboxxy heheheheh you right

[tanyaepg]

I love Avey Tare's hallelujahs.

[Lateralust]

The only thing that would have made this any better is if Avey pulled out a machine gun and unloaded it into the crowd. I don't understand how they weren't going crazy during this!

[heyitsjalen]

uhhh 1:13 how the fuck can that girl look bored?

[AnotherVelvetMorning]

@heyitsjalen I keep asking myself the same thing. I know ac likes to play new material at festivals. my guess, maybe feels hadn't come out yet?

[nicholask44]

@AnotherVelvetMorning this is july '06. feels ('05) was out but strawberry jam ('07) wasnt

[robertillo94]

Fuck the people there!

[Tmancubs33]

and at 4:40 i shit my pants

[clickmeforgoodtime]

I like this over their recent electronics

[MrAce15]

This is fucking trippy awesome shit!!

[subtletastebuds]

there's something so magically touching about anco, almost reminiscent of the beatles.

[sijye]

TOP 3 @ Bonnaroo. See them live, once before you die ;)

[yeahyupye]

people opposite to the stage are.. sleeping. wow. i would kill them. i would pay gold to be in that place in that moment

[hannahtim]

I agree with all the other comments... I can't beleive these people look so bored! Animal Collective is amazing :)

[AlsatianFever]

Panda Bear's drumming!!

[alliant]

i dont think...i seriously dont think... a band has ever captured psychedelia better.

[ashleeblossom]

no one looks hyped.. I'D BE SOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!

[TheLungsWind]

Man, he looks tore up from the floor up.

[ki24g]

animal collective is more then simply music. they have reached another level of music and this song is a perfect example of that. its wave after wave of sound that creates a beautiful wall of sound. favourite song period

[jonygut]

The people at that festival don't know music....

[MagmaWalrus]

I never noticed until now that panda bear is an EXTREMELY good drummer.

[Ciaran646]

@MagmaWalrus one of the best ever definitely. even on some of the awful tracks theyve done like on danse manatee and stuff his drums are amazing. he doesnt even do set patterns half the time he just plays random shit throughout and it sounds dope. hes also a fucking rad backing vocalist. i dont really like him on lead that much though

[RadioChanges]

@MagmaWalrus Panda Bear was originally recruited into the band as a drummer but evolved into something more awesome, but he can still rock out on the skins

[dadadevo]

@MagmaWalrus to me, even more so because he is playing everything through a timed echo/delay

[ap1027]

@MagmaWalrus

dude listen to Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished. One of their early albums. Some AMAZING drumming on that album

[kamalmanzukie]

I think that avey tare is the physical manifestation of the god of psychedelic mushrooms.

[robertillo94]

arghh fuck the people there!

[wontonspringroll]

man that girl looks so bored. i should be there instead of her

[chelseychelseyify]

you get that WOOOO!

[FierceSwitters]

crush high

[midocrimsonfate]

''This ones for stevie Wonder''

[Musicasaurus]

All of AM's lyrics are wonderful. Paired with spectacular music and its a trip!

[0Smurphy01]

How is it possible for something to be this fucking good?

[espejokm]

I've got the keyyyyy to the kingdommmmm and the devil cant do me no harmm

[KathleenAlexisxx]

omfg if i was there id be dancing like i was on drugs.

Just hearing their music makes me feel spectacular.

[TheMichiganStatement]

i hate the audience why arent they on drugs lol

[idkmybffjv]

Holy shit...

[HankerKomo]

Fuck the people there, I would have a seizure big enough for all of them to have a share so that at least every single person there would enjoy it. AC is the fucking shit!

[bogeaqYT]

The drums in this song are great, i thought they just sampled the tapping and panda bear played the toms and snare, but he does both simultaneously.

[emilyandthat]

Shittest crowd ever, where's your energy?

[hussellreilman]

They should definitely specify it is the Stevie Wonder version.

[BagheeraRomeo]

4:22-4:45 SLAY ME EVERY SINGLE TIME.

[Je11yb3aner]

they dont like performin this song or what??

[goody0890]

I think I finally met God when I watched this video.

[CiyderX]

i tryed to like this band and listen to there albums something dosent click. but no one should judge a band until they see them live so.,

[aesrp]

@CiyderX well don't judge them regardless, all it comes down to is you don't feel their music. They don't care, move on if you don't, quit trying. :)
