Take a Walk Out in the Light Drizzle

I recently caught (insert hyperbole here) Animal Collective at the Bowery Ballroom, the day after the release of their 9th and most "accessible" album, Merriweather Post Pavilion. Enough has been written and said about it - it's great. And the show was great, although I couldn't help but feel that a lot of the chaos from their old shows was missing. I used to walk away from an AC show somewhat disappointed that I didn't recognize more of the material, but only because the performances were even more amazing than the albums. I also couldn't help thinking that the crowd loving My Girls wouldn't be as thrilled during We Tigers. This is a great version of the later from the Malta Festival in 2007.
