They played literally 2 or 3 songs I knew and managed to completely destroy them. There was absolutely no flow to the gig, every time a song ended I had a feeling they were doing a sound check with some lame background music. The new material is godawful and Panda Bear (which for me was the pop anchor of the group) was practically invisible. Naturally and sadly, he didn't play anything from Tomboy.
Utter destruction of sound, complete violation of everything that made them a great pop band.
I blame the return of Deakin.

I was interested to read of your disappointment with their recent live performance.
I only just learned of Animal Collective this month and so far like the sunny, happy, shimmering, meditative full sound of the two songs of theirs that I've heard: "Bees" and "My Girls."
Now I'm listening to parts of more of their songs so that hopefully I can learn how their sound has changed over time. Luckily I probably won't ever hear them live, so I'll never have to face a letdown like you did, adidasss!
