ANIMAL COLLECTIVE - LIVE (12th Jan)

Although not quite as good as some of the other times i've seen them (2nd, 5th), their performance was still unbelievably good. I bounced ALL the way through 'Brother Sport' which i really regretted the following three days. I've definity done enough gushing over this band over the last few years so i won't bore you too much more. The set was mainly made up of the new album and with a sprinkling of old songs. The fact they only played one new (unrealesed) song in the set was a little disappointing as i'm really keen on hearing what's up next. I've heard from now on they'll be keeping the new stuff close to their chests. THE LIGHTS! Wow! Probably the best lightshow i've ever seen!..and i know a good lightshow when i see one! Do you?

The first two photos below i stole from somewhere (i can't remember?)..

Here's a bootleg of the whole gig.

Here's a load of photos over on the Weddingpresent blog.

Here's a very short very badly filmed video i took of the opening song 'In The Flowers'..it was mainly to get a taste of the sound so ignore the moving pictures (especially..my fat chin)..



I did also film a great 10 minute (VERY slowed down) version of 'Banshee Beat' but youtube couldn't take it.

Below are two videos from some of the other recent gigs because i can't seem to find any videos from the London gig?

* 'My Girls' (in Manchester)..



* 'Guy's Eyes' (in Manchester)

* 'Leaf House' (in New York)..



Oh, i have just found some footage from the London gig. It's during the final song 'My Girls'. You can't see anything but it's quite funny watching the security guard stood looking bored.
