That's all I got. Their show at Studio B was sweaty and awesome.
-
Wax Mannequin is even better live but I guess you don't get it.
Actually despite having one of the most obnoxious frontmen I've ever heard of I can see !!! being a nearly-unparalled live act.
-
I agree with the sentiment that their frontman is a cock
-
I would pay money to see a band fronted by a human phallus.
-
God I hope we don't go through another forum wide meme of posting threads with titles like "Unlike X, Y is amazing live."

How is he obnoxious? Not that I'm defending him, but I honestly want to know :P I have an awful habit of loving a band's music and not paying much attention to who is in the band. :| yeah I'm not proud...
also, I really really really really REALLY REALLY wanted to go to the !!! show in Philly but I couldn't go... I'm even more disappointed now that someone has said they're awesome live...

floppin' around, spurting blood from the severed end
the bass player is all "dude that is not on the setlist"
-
What if it was spurting blood from the not severed end?
-
Oh then he should definitely see a doctor.
-
Then he must be dating Liz Phair.
Or listening to her last album! ZING!
-
Put that one in the comic. It's gold.

LOL POSTCOUNT +1
Based on what I've heard (which amounts to about 3 minutes and 20 seconds of video/audio footage on Youtube), I think just about anyone could be better than Animal Collective. In any sense of the word.

Jeph,
Today's comic was sorely devoid of Liz Phair references.
It's over. I regret everything.

Got to disagree, I mean I saw them at Webster Hall last year and although my friend made me leave after an hour, and it certainly wasn't the best set I've seen, it was far from the worst. I've seen things, my friend. I've seen David Pajo play Knitting Factory and perform his own percussion by stepping on those bell things while singing off-key. I've seen Ted Leo perform an hour and a half set so totally devoid of a voice that people close to the stage were wiping bits of his vocal cords off of their foreheads. I saw TV on the Radio do a 40 minute acoustic set at Theater at MSG so quietly they put Air fans into comas. Air fans. I've seen "experimental" sets so raw that the guitarist actually violated his instrument with a drumstick then rubbed it upside down sandwiched between the amp and his pelvis and creating a sound that can only be described as hot sonic tongs rearranging my viscera through a hole dug into the back of my head.
Actually that last bit was kind of fun.
Alls I'm saying is that while Animal Collective may not put on a great show, I've seen a lot worse and you do get a sense of their music. Stagecraft ain't everything.

LOL POSTCOUNT I have nothing of value to add.

First of all, fuck you for saying I had nothing of value to add. Don't be a cock.
Second, don't judge a band by one song. What if you judged the Beatles based on a live performance of 'Twist and Shout' and decided they were just another white British band trying to be black?? You'd be missing all their other music which is nothing like it. Besides which, some bands just plain suck live.
Third, you should give Panda Bear's Person Pitch a try. I put it up there with Feels for being the so-far pinnacle of Animal Collective's work.
