Animal Collective - My Girls, Live at Pitchfork 2008

Animal Collective playing My Girls live at Pitchfork 2008, in Chicago, IL.

*With this video, as well as my other Animal Collective P4K videos, I would highly suggest you selecting the "watch in high quality" option before you playing them. Youtube's compression during upload did not do the best job handling the flashing lights in these videos, resulting in more so than usual pixelated vids. This can be remedied somewhat by watching them in "high qaulity." **check out my other videos for more live Animal Collective & P4K videos

@isaikid Watch the David Letterman performance of "Summertime Clothes". Almost exactly like the studio version, complete with vocal effects.

But my impression is they usually like to stretch and loosen up their vocals when they perform live. Which I think is a good unique quality. Also, as the other commenter said, this was a year before MPP came out.

@rlouiegames Lucky. I know the guy I'm getting shrooms from saw them, too.

Yeah, the closest they've had to a new album since MPP has been ODDSAC, which is a visual album and 4 years in the making. The next one will be interesting, but I've got to go backwards and listen to their other works. People bring up Strawberry Jam and Feels a lot, as well as their solo stuff.

When i go to their concert im so gonna roll :)

[rlouiegames]

@isaikid Yeah, you're definitely right about many other bands having that problem, but with animal collective it's very different. They like change and are always moving in a new direction, so their always creating something new. I was actually at this concert, and it was interesting to get a sneak peek at what their next album would be like. I just saw them again at Pitchfork last month, and I knew what to expect this time, lots of new stuff. Can't wait to hear what the new album now!

[isaikid]

@rlouiegames you got me there... i wasn't aware of that. hmm. well my point could be made for many a band... even so... i better not catch them playing that song on the road without drums or i'll be pissed

[rlouiegames]

@isaikid You realize this video is from the summer of 2008 right? And that MPP didn't come out until early 2009. They create their songs on the road and play them live long before making an album version. Your logic is backwards. If anything you should be asking them to make their album versions sound more like their live version, because that's what came first.

Why don't they drop the bass? Fucking cock tease.
