Animal Collective - Sung Tongs - Live/Full Set 

Avey impersonating the samples was a really nice touch.

i love seeing a crowd go wild and singing along to such weird songs. warms my heart

This is genuinely the best crowd I've ever seen. I never thought something like this was even possible. Holy hell

I get they are professionals and they have been doing this for a long time now, but I can't believe how clean they sound live. All these screams and imitating the sampling sound effects. Insane.

I can safely say this is the most psychedelic performance by an acoustic duo I've seen

I think the reason this gets us is because we mostly listen to this album alone. We might have a AC fan friend or two, but to see that this thing that is so personal could be loved by so many people in one space is... effective? I just think we see the album as a concert for one, and to know that others out there feel the same ties us together. I mean, the audience is literally singing Good Lovin Outside, which is an underrated banger.

I was moved to tears when certain audience members knew when to clap during "Mouth Wooed Her." I find that kind of union and love so meaningful.

Animal collective is one of the most important bands to ever exist.

winters love is actually the most perfect song ever devised

This is an excellent concert film. Wonderful cinematography and audio mixing, the audience is loud enough to make the recordings actually feel live but quiet enough so that you can actually fucking hear the music (which is important, live recordings often feel really empty without the studio flair and the audience can really fill that out). I really have to commend Pitchfork for this, it's very well done. Of course, it wouldn't be anything without the excellent performance from Avey and Panda.

The guy in the crowd absolutely killing that random clap in sweet road at 31:58

imagine if Avey and Panda did Spirit They're Gone all the way through

One of the best unplugged performances by any band

I always imagine what the security guy working the front of the show thinks about what he's seeing and hearing.

i was at this show. everybody knew the songs. amazing experience

sung tongs always gives me the feeling you get when you go camping or been out in nature for awhile, even for a couple hours. it's so down to earth and fun.

When we were kids animal collective essentially acted as our shaman guide with these records. I don’t think we had any understanding of what that meant yet, but I’m grateful.

just really starting to explore AnCo and loving every minute of it. never realized how virtuosic these dudes are. they’re SERIOUSLY technically talented and wildly creative and it’s amazing to behold.

It's already amazing what these guys can do with electronics, but this is a reminder what they can also do with with just 2 acoustic guitars and vocals and a little sampler.

They performed Covered In Frogs for the first time in like 13 years and that’s all that matters

god bless you thank you for recording this historic diamond of a show for all us anco fans who couldn't be there

Okay I have to comment again just to say how precious it is that Noah is wearing an Animal Collective hoodie. Also, didn't know he breathed into the mic like that on Kids on Holiday. I love that.

They should tour Feels in its entirety with deakin and geologist

this is seriously one of the best things i've ever witnessed

I wish I found this album sooner. Sung Tongs is such a masterpiece

the first time i see the crowd clapping actually serves the music, good job crowd!

i wonder how it must feel to write an album like sung tongs and a decade later have the audience sing it right along with you

I really felt it when people started screaming instantly after the first note of prospect hummer. What a loving fanbase

The crowd jumping towards the end of winters love is just so heartwarming to watch. One of the many wholesome AnCo family moments.

20:40 - when you're both insane but vibing. Also I feel like, they both have such great voices respectively, Noah's tone is unmatched but david's versatility is mental. Noah was really straining his voice here and you could tell by him taking it easy for a bit after this. But Avey has this technique down where he can scream his head off and then still sing full-bodied, unstrained notes right after and I'm still baffled and awed as to how he does that.

I wonder if leaf house is the first track on the album in part because of what a great vocal warm up it is to sing

this is like seeing John Lennon and Paul McCartney sit down and play Revolver straight through

the crowd is so good I’d kill to have seen this live 😭

1. this is legendary. 2. best idea of theirs to tour this album since the creation MPP 3. I saw this tour live and so happy i went

I feel so lucky to be alive right now

We in the store right here.

Wow they killed that version of who could win a rabbit, amazing

Goddam they gave it everything they had. That's what I will always love about this band.

Beautiful, I never thought they would play Visiting Friends again, this live version sounds amazing, the lyrics can be heard clearer than in the lp.

It could be said that a lot of this reminded me of my acid trips. Most specifically visiting friends, though. The way Avey speaks into the mic with the pedals (or whatever devices help distort his voice) reminded me of how strange and fragmented my inner monologues sounded. As well in a particularly strange way it sounds similar to the way it felt for me to actually speak. It was weird. It felt like sentences were being sucked out of me as well as information surfacing from the subconscious level at ridiculous rates. Hard to adequately describe, I suppose. It's also really interesting to see the way Avey moves to evoke the sound and emotion he does. It's as if he's possessed by the music and the act of artistic creation.

Now get Vashti Bunyan and Deakin and do prospect hummer EP in its entirety

I would've cried on the spot, had I actually been there.

This album sounds the way psilocybin feels

I love how they did impressions of some of the samples, but I wish they did the "I started playing the game and like...the game-" before Mouth Wooed Her

i still cannot get over how amazing this performance is

4:37 Panda Bear sounds like he's about to drop the hottest mumble rap mixtape of 2003

The audience was amazing in this.

If it's the whole quartet, the usual trio, or these two, they always make amazing music.

I watched a lot of people falling to the ground when they played this show in Santiago, Chile. Best concert ever. Thank You for such amazing music guys.

listen to Animal Collective

This show better stay on RU-vid forever. It’s so beautiful. Nothing like seeing these guys live, together or solo..

Greatest band of this century

Today its the firs time i listen and watch Animal Collective... I just had an epiphany and a religious moment, a trance.... and cried a lot...

Happy 20th Anniversary Sung Tongs!!!

now id like to see them play danse manatee live again

Actual perfection, after this and Avey's newer record this gives me hope that they'll get back into the freak folk shit again

This performance of Visiting Friends is incredible, love how they interpolated Queen in My Pictures into it. One of my fav shows of theirs all around on RU-vid

So definitive. So glad the boys did this for us. I'm crying.

The fans going "HIYA!!" in Sweet Road just gives my whole life meaning

I have an hour-long eargasm every time I listen to this. Kids On Holiday makes me writhe around in ecstatic joy.

I do a stupid smile every time Avey says "Sung Tongs huh?"

this is like the hardest thing to stop watching ! awesome

YOU DONT HAVE TO GO TO COLLEGE ///// also love that the audience becomes the samples. beyond legendary.

This entire video is literally a dream come true.

Happy new year everyone, perfect fall/winter tunes right here

This is my favorite performance ever. Cant describe how much happiness this brings me, I hope when day when im old and gray I will remember this video and think of all the memories along with this album and beautiful band. Nothing is like AC

I get so excited that I almost can't handle "Sweet Road"; it's fantastic!!!

So many nice touches- like how on Who Could Win a Rabbit, they are playing the same chords, but Panda is just barring in an open tuning while Avey is actually doing proper chord patterns...

I'm so happy they slipped covered in frogs into the mix!

When pitchfork takes the adds out of this video I will throw the craziest party this reality has seen

This has been my highlight of 2018 so far. Got dam. Thank you animal collective and pitchfork.

Melodious and psychedelic. I wanted to sing with them 🎵 (From Japan )

I don't think I've ever heard a crowd this explicitly affectionate before

whoa...never knew this existed but I am so glad it did. i'll never forget the feeling of being given 'feels' and 'sung tongs' during the waning days of high school. daphne, thank you for changing my perspective and putting one of my favorite musicians into my world when you did. this is such an epic video that hits all the feels. just kicking myself i kinda fell off following the bands tour dates around 2015. once this pandemic is a wrap and live music is go, i am so there for the magic.

Hearing the crowd sing along to Who Could Win a Rabbit actually gave me chills

Two absolute legends..

Jesus the fucking memories with this album. these dudes and radiohead are the only thing i listened to from 13-20

Thank you guys, this is the perfect setlist

Wow what a gift this video is. I seriously could not ask for more. Awesome

I can remember when they came to Seattle to play this material originally. there were like 20 people there, and most of the folks were there to see other bands. I was pretty impressed, tho, fr sure.>

watched this whole set in the livestream. start to finish. loved it. love my boys. Anco will probably always be my fav band

Dude this is such a beautiful gift to AC fans everywhere. Merci Beaucoup !

I love that they played Covered in Frogs and freaking killed it!

so excited they are touring this. very thankful i could grab tickets to the austin show in presale.

I’ve never been able to see them live, I’ve loved them since I first heard the spirit record. They’re so incredibly talented and legitimately revolutionized modern music again and again. This performance was incredibly touching, I started to cry half way through, partly in jealousy and entirely in a euphoric beautiful sense. I felt like I was floating.

These guys are on a whole other plane of experience with their music. Unreal!!

absolutely love that i got to watch this video. TY pfork. This was my fave album like 10+ years ago, and im having the best time watching this. Visiting Friends is my #1 acid song. Imagine how insane it must have been before they recorded it - im picturing a 30 minute Visiting Friends jam. SO glad they didn't skimp out here and make it 5 minutes or something like that

one of the best concerts I've ever seen

arg the ads are really tough on this one...

I was just going to be play this as background for painting and ended watching everything mesmerised. Love these guys

this was a great surprise! thanks for this!

*David Firth* commented this video and it's the best thing that has happened to me today.

this has blown all my expectations out of the window haha fucking hell. AMAZING

Great set! Always a pleasure to watch them perform

Not all hero’s wear capes

Gosh damnit I was thereeeee jivin out in Queens. One of the best shows of my life

I’ve listened to this about 2000 times now

Many tears of excitement were shed while watching this video

January 2nd was my 21st. What a present. THANK YOU

just started to listening to them a few weeks ago and hearing the crowd in leaf house gave me chills
