Animal Collective " brother sport " Live at Midi Festival " french riviera 2007

[homoeroticfood]

I have fits of euphoria when I hear this. It's so good.

[fadoodle100]

THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PERFORMANCE FOR BROTHER SPORT:D It inspired me so much that I made a lyrics-on-screen video for it;) GO CHECK IT OUT!:D

[Rouw000]

Good sounds dn.nb

[welldonefromhereon]

*Scream* *Scream* *Scream* *Scream* *Scream* lol

[littlec916]

this version is so much better than the album version

[Yesiamblind]

This is what church should be like.

[heybolt]

@Yesiamblind

I completely agree.

Is there a key missing on that Juno synth? What a shame... :( 3:22

[drumjoey]

I love how these guys always leave you on the verge. They draw you in and when they get you almost there.....they drop it back down. So smooth.

[fadoodle100]

someone take the replay button away from me, i can't stop pressing it

brother sport remix

[zukhyubern]

How is the crowd just not loosing it's fucking shit right now.

[dunerztd]

Can't believe they were playing this and my girls live even before Strawberry Jam was released. These guys don't stop writing.

[Xxswimtothemoon]

yes

[Gridlock471]

I like the yellow guy the most, because the rest of the crowd are like mindless fucking zombies.

[DannyBoredoms]

LAME ASS CROWD IN THIS VIDEO!!! WHEN THEY PLAYED THIS SONG YESTERDAY I WAS DANCING SO HARD IT PROBABLY LOOKED LIKE I WAS HAVING A SEIZURE

[inphanta]

@DannyBoredoms: Exactly. How is it even possible for anyone to listen to this live and NOT move!?

[AnimalCorrective]

@DannyBoredoms seriously dude... saw them this tour too and i was like one of the only people really moving when they went into brosport. fucking squares.

[CaddyWhompusChannel]

seeing them next week! FUCK YEAH

[DuhImReily]

avey is fuckin ripped

[sauztheboss]

very good sounds.

[jingleheimer0]

man they were performing this live long before it was recorded. hope that doesn't mean we have to wait a couple more years for new material!

[MrAnarchyintheusa]

i've always wondered what it is they shout pre, and post song.

[TheNotoc]

@MrAnarchyintheusa It's their own language.

[MrAnarchyintheusa]

@TheNotoc then we should be learning that one in school

[MrJdele]

@MrAnarchyintheusa . It's their language that only they can understand. They developed it in their early band years using a diverse array of animal phonetics, including the wet owl monkey, artic hyena, australian coyote, a rare breed sea urchin to name a few. In the beginning, he blended the growl of a panda and mating call of a African tanager to signal to geologist translated as ...."Ready?, I am, this crowd looks lame".

[MrAnarchyintheusa]

@MrJdele thank you, i didn't know it was that intricate of a process (i knew that they were communicating in one way or another but the animal part is impressive)

[fadoodle100]

@MrAnarchyintheusa whoa hey i recognize ur name from another ac vid haha funny guess we're both fans

[MrAnarchyintheusa]

@fadoodle100 i believe it was an avey tare video actually (and yes i am a big big (big) fan (one more parenthesis for good time's sake))

[fadoodle100]

@MrAnarchyintheusa ohhh right 'oliver twist' and yes i completely agree tbh these guys make me so happy that i cry, im a very strong fan- i only know 2 people in person who like animal collective, that's my brother and his friend :/ i am only 13 but its VERY annoying to hear and see what other people my age are missing out on :/

[fadoodle100]

@MrJdele ur kidding? HOW do you know this?? haha O_o

[iansassano]

they are wild



[AdagioNutella]

@sirsean1227

"This band blows ass nuggets"

HA! What do you listen to then buddy?

[AdagioNutella]

@festaloon here we go with this debate again. Okay, first of all, you have to at least give them some credit for being able to play samplers like instruments, that takes at least a creative musician to pull that off. And if you don't like them, don't comment on their video.

[Steve481]

@festaloon well, that's like, your opinion man

[inditify]

@Steve481 big lebowski

[UnitedNewThinkers]

you notice how the rhythm of the words (repeated) "open up your", how the emphasis comes on the "p" at the same time as the syncopated kick? just one interesting thing to this really rich song

[jamescracksthesky]

i really fucking hope people dance when i see them in july. im going to be pissed if i have to dance alone.

[pra05rt]

Damn! Is that Jesus Christ at 2:13? If it is, I'm going to church. The guy's got taste!

[LupeJustinian]

why is Avey doing the chicken wing?

[TrinkMilch]

will see them at my birthday!!! yay

[blurrillaz]

Avey Tare speeed. guy on lower right at 2:47= baaaked

[sirsean1227]

This band blows ass nuggets



[festaloon]

@sirsean1227 Thank you! Can this even be considered music?! It's just a bunch of terrible musicians with a lot of money to buy equipment! What the fuck is he doing jumping around screaming like an asshole?!

[Envee211]

@festaloon

Hey, they're doing what they love and they have fans who will listen and I'm sure it makes them happy. Plus, they make money off of it.

[festaloon]

@sirsean1227 Thank you! Can this even be considered music?! It's just a bunch of terrible musicians with a lot of money to buy equipment.

[mikea731]

@festaloon granted this isn't that good of a performance, but these guys aren't terrible musicians. they make some of the most creative music I've heard anywhere. watch them do fireworks live. it's great stuff

[festaloon]

@mikea731 Whatever floats your boat, but I'm fully convinced this is one of the worst current bands out there. But it's true people have totally different opinions on music.

[PalpoPalpatine]

@festaloon as cliche as this may sound, it really comes from their soul though. some people dont like it because they think it's too off or atypical.. but theres definately soul in this music. so i think its incredible, personally

[UnitedNewThinkers]

@festaloon man honestly i have a hard time believing how you can say that. granted this music isn't very accessible, although it's really not all that esoteric (try bitch's brew by miles davis or some songs by the doors just for some examples, it's not because it's inaccessible that it's bad) this stuff is extremely creative, interesting different parts to it, very eclectic (has roots in african music) it's innovative... worst band around? i would listen to this over 100% of mainstream music now

[festaloon]

@UnitedNewThinkers I don't see it. None of them are at all proving they're good musicians and I guess you could say it has african roots but that doesn't mean it's good. I mean I remember when everyone thought these guys were the best new band and honestly I tried to get into them, but seriously their music is so terrible it's embarassing

[tonydark6]

the crowd is so dead

[seaborgiumAGGGHHH]

French can't dance

[livetoefungus]

I was told to turn this down while watching it :( Closed my throat back up. *sadface*

[OutlawBebop8]

french ass crowd does not know what to do

[Rael0505]

hahaha these guys are completely WRECKED

[100walrus]

avey tares mic is too low :/

[adonepelagree]

@100walrus it can never really be loud enough anyway...

[ItsMellah]

My speakers can't get any louder and that makes me very sad! :(

[buthole1990]

open up ya

open up ya

open up ya

throat, you gota

open up ya...

[cheesyvader]

They're so cool.... Avey Tare is a fuckin' loon, in the best way possible.

[cheesyvader]

They're so cool....

[DiasDeDemonio]

uffffffffffffffff.....

[IndigenouzTech]

that was great !

[yusbarrett]

Am I the only one who feels like getting drugged while listening to this guys? :-P

[molesticles]

2:34 Does he know he doesn't have to do that?And use a sampler instead:)

[drclown]

hahaha i could never see these guys on super hard stuff like heroin or something. .

i reckon. . .

Panda Bear-Shrooms, Avey Tare- Acid, Geologist- Opium. .

:D

[pablopizahh]

oh the things i would give to be there ... all my clothes even if ihad to go naked , my surfboard the thing that i love th emost my girlfriend , just to be there and some good acid

[SleeperFactory5]

Things I like about this video (besides the overall song):

- Crowd member with the yellow shirt

- Avey's endurance yelping

- Deakin? Is he the one sneaking around the stage?

- Panda's face

- Geologist's shirt

[Creativitymadness]

Hipsters, hipsters everywhere!

[iwatchsomevideos]

the guy who was screaming, is he deaf? "YOU GOT DA WEAL GOOD SHOT, NO HELP TO HOLD DINSIDE, KEEP IT WEAL, KEEP IT WEAL SHOT HIGH"

[Ball50f5teal]

2:34 I see you deakin...

[yusbarrett]

drugs: audience... marijuana, acid,

[Cooldsunshine]

This place looks empty...

[betoski]

Awesome awesome...song so catchy! <3

[jbergs22]

wow these vocals are awful

[Gridlock471]

@jbergs22 Do you think YOU can do better?

[jbergs22]

@Gridlock471 at all the programming and instrumentation they do? no. no one can. but is it really that hard to sing in the correct octave? no. they fact that it is so good on the studio version makes me doubt their ability to actually sing.

[danlikesmusicalot]

@jbergs22 one could argue that animal collective perhaps aren't the strongest vocalists, but they can definatley sing, on the record the vocals obviously have effects applied to better suit the overall sound, live this is obviously gonna be hard to replicate, imo animal collective are primarily studio artists, noah may not be freddie mercury, but he's still a great artist wouldn't you agree :)

[jbergs22]

@danlikesmusicalot yeah man that's all i was saying haha. i love this band but live, come on haha

[danlikesmusicalot]

@jbergs22 haha fair enough, i actually didn't think the vocals were that bad personnaly, ive definatley seen much worse live acts

[unkommon2001]

I would have cum all over the stage after that what the fuck is wrong with that crowd.

[jonnyhatter35]

@unkommon2001 lol! But for real though, wtf? How do you not dance your ass off to this?

[pompomck]

most of the crowd look as if they are tripping so hard they are dancing in thier minds not their bodies...

[pocketmouse11]

avey tare has got to be one of the most entertaining performers out there.

[muzztmt]

from the sound of my computer speakers, panda bear's random scream/shouts are awesome! :D

[iiTzCorey]

I guarantee they dont remember playing this

[jordan10la]

What are the lyrics on this version?

[omgroflzpwned]

This version of this song is the best thing AC has ever done, imo. Unfortunately it was the first song of theirs that I heard, so everything else has been somewhat of a letdown.

[emacyshyn]

I wish the album version was more like this.

[nickygs]

they're probably all not dancing because they're freaking out on acid... this music just makes your trip so hard

[CharlieGsFSuuWuU]

@nickygs all the more reason to dance fool

[MillaHead]

The best part was from 0:00 to 6:45

[Zach3066]

all these hipsters are just too cool to dance

[MrAdrieann]

the people at the back suck, i'd be going crazy at this show

[ZACHDISASTER]

How can you stand still for this song?

[toddod87]

i would kill to see them live

[druhyelew]

@toddod87 I would recommend you do that

[mikezephyr]

Same, I think/hope they will tour or at least play live this year!

[buttaflutta]

@toddod87 the experience is enough to bring deceased children back to life

[pzay31]

@toddod87 COACHELLA 2011!!

[Julyeah]

@toddod87 i'm seeing them in May and keeping my ticket under my tshirt to feel its touch xD

[onlyonetigger]

@toddod87 pitchfork music festival coming soon...

[pietrsmit]

@toddod87 get to pitchfork, chicago, Illinois july 15, 2011!

[tanyaepg]

Is that Deakin I saw recording a part this?

[lvnthagoodlife]

I want geologist's shirt.

[MrNerveux]

too well lit, i imagined these guys live in a dark room smelling of nature, with everyone confused and enjoying it

[wowthatwasemo]

finally. an active audience..

[sugarfree133]

the guy with the yellow shirt is the best

[robinheil]

wow, avey's got some muscles!

[iamjeeves]

1:43 look at all the smoke.

[raarset1]

holy shit fml they are good

[ninayoyoyo]

the four most amazing singers on the planet. maybe. to me. right now at least.

[erule92]

stop calling this experimental...

it's just music. REALLY GOOD MUSIC.

[LouReedsBooks]

Drugs: Avey Tare-Ecstasy, Panda Bear- Heroin, Geologist- Marijuana

[RonB999]

@LouReedsBooks how'd you find that out?

[LouReedsBooks]

@RonB999 I made it up OLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[RonB999]

@LouReedsBooks ahh well that's good. If panda bear was on heroin that would just be bad. Now I'm curious about what their drugs of choice are...

[nauseousqueasy]

@LouReedsBooks

always thought of geologist more with shrooms but cant argue with those

[FancyAlien]

@LouReedsBooks Heroin? NO. More like acid.

[ybrik222]

@LouReedsBooks

I'd say more like:

Avey Tare - Heroin

Panda Bear - Acid

Geologist - Shrooms

[waggy55]

@LouReedsBooks you have a tight username

[BruisedEyeSockets]

@LouReedsBooks Haha, I'd say Geologist is shrooms and Panda is weed.

[2012itbeggins]

@LouReedsBooks i think panda bear being a genius he would have to if anything be usin mushrooms?

[TheNickmercier]

@LouReedsBooks i agree but it seems as if they are all rollin sack

[patinaryfelicidad]

very niiiceee :) this is a cool video!

[EdiblePlanets]

Why are they letting the roadies play so long ??

[elmersglue16]

i wish to see them live one day :)

[Bulldog22031]

I love the fact that they use their voices as true instruments, instead of just lyric boxes... god I love this band

[thekidwiththefa]

Animal Collective is boring as fuck. o man, I've done acid too, big deal.

[littlec916]

@thekidwiththefa you dont have to do drugs to appreciate animal collective. if anything thats the beauty of their music.

[beatlesbabe155]

@littlec916 TRU DAT, i hate when people are like wowooowsdgh this is so much better high. sure, its trippy, but it so beautiful even when sober, and just as beautiful if youre high or something.

[TheTingOfTheWater]

ALL stoned haha

anyway one of the greatest songs

[auk13films]

@Dsquadddd That is just your opinion, and you're entitled to it. I personally disagree, but seriously, everybody's marking your comment down just because you have an opinion. Come on people; be respectful maybe a little bit.

[ThomComputer]

i like them a lot live:)

[merk22]

deakin , now known as deacon, left to do his own thing.

you can take the animal outta the collective, but you can't take the collective out of the animal.

[iteapro]

@merk22 is that deakin creepin at 2:39?

[Junmonsterr]

wow you dont know what your missing

[Polioni]

i wish i was there

[dylz]

dis sng make me wna dance!!!!!! y arnt da ppl dancing!!!!!!

[ThomComputer]

the fella in the yellow around 4:10 knows the score

[madhattery341]

@dylz I've always wondered that when I see this video. If i was there I don't think i could keep still at all.

[dylz]

actually i was completely joking when i wrote that comment... and i find it amusing that people gave it thumbs up

[mikey41414141]

@dylz cause they are blazed outta their minds

[olliethehobo]

@dylz they think theyre too cool to dance. bastards. besides that one guy in front in yellow. i like him.

[jurodivyj]

peccato.. dal vivo non sono granche'

[Thirdboy5]

its bright up there! geologist! turn your light off!

[mikeweckstein]

are you kidding! he just kept that shout/scream thing going for a while! good shit! I love these guys a lot. This song is pretty good too

[astm37]

i don't understand why it says 2007..

[littlec916]

@astm37 why?

[astm37]

because merriweather was released in 2009. wasn't aware that AC performed songs years before they release them.

[littlec916]

@astm37 yeah this was done in 2007. And to be honest I think this version is WAY better than what made it to the album. I really like the way he avey screams in this. On the album its looped and sounds cheap.

[sauljapancakes]

agree'd

[astm37]

once again, agreed...Avey is amazing at 2:17.

have to say i miss the way he sung in Strawberry Jam...in songs where he'd scream and be really experimental with his voice like For Reverend Green.

but then again the way he uses his voice in Merriweather fits the album well.

[jumaxe]

@littlec916 I agree the scream is more authentic and more of an instrument than an annoyance. :P

[stillon83]

Oh yes i agree entirely this version is way sicker!!

[theboykrishna]

@littlec916 i don't think the screaming would've worked in the context of the album. It still needed to sound "electronic" while keeping some of the intensity.

[littlec916]

@theboykrishna yeah i see where you are coming from. the album version definitely fits the album. i still like this so much more, however, but everyone has their opinion. i feel this version is more organic and thats what i love about animal collective.

[theboykrishna]

@littlec916 yeah i think i actually might like this version more too actually. it's just intense and in-the-moment.

[ScarletttCat]

thats because animal collective are always playing their new songs one or two years live before they release them on a album. I really like this song by the way. It´s magic.

[astm37]

interesting.

and agreed...it is unbelievable along with the remains of merriweather.

[Gmancrap]

Hipster music

but it does have soul unlike this mainstream bull shit...

[Verazze]

Too popular to be hipster music.

[NirnrootQueen]

I like their attempts at dancing to Animal Collective. The only people who can are on some serious drugs ^_^

[iwazused]

@NirnrootQueen its not hard. AC's music has defined beat. nothing really that complex to fathom.

its hard to even nod you head to bands like hella or tera melos let alone dance.

[robothenry]

@iwazused it's in commontime. the reason it's hard to bob your head is because of the oddly placed harmonious-sheep-yells. otherwise it's totally 4/4. a hipster 4/4, but 4/4 none the less.

[littlec916]

@robothenry alot of their songs have a polyrythm

[albik]

son geniales

[RetinendParadox]

their voices aren't that good live

[Gmancrap]

Have you seen them live? they are amazeing.

[passiveMenis]

Catchiest song ever.

[spiritual101]

I've seen a few live performaces on Youtube that I haven't really cared for.

But this one was actually pretty good, compared to the stuido version of this song.
