PANDA BEAR - LIVE AT UPSET THE RHYTHM

This isn't perfect but honestly who cares if his voice is a little off or whatever? Panda might just be the coolest cat on Earth. He and the rest of Animal Collective are so brilliant. This song just makes you smile no matter how cynical or cool you are. It is rare for music or a musician to do that nowadays.

In studio, a band can utilize as many takes as it is necessary to have everything pitch-perfect. When a band preforms live, they only have one shot and that is it.

hahah "oh wait, thousands of people, let me try that again. I'll get it this time I promise..."

Stupid...

Hilarious...

What is? I like Panda Bear but honestly, it's just dumb when people try to compare him to Brian Wilson.

well, while you think its 'dumb' for people to compare him to Brian Wilson, I find it - 'hilarious'. I mean, I think we're feeling the same here. But people make comparisons, so let them... I can see where people make the connection, and it's not that entirely 'out there'. Panda's a big B WILSON fan, and I bet it had some 'influence' on his 'music', but yeah. PANDA SOUNDS LIKE PANDA. :)

hey thats the sample they used in street flash to awesome i love that sample

i noticed that too... the cackling laugh... good shit

They certainly hit sour notes or go out of key here and there, but I've also seen them nail it just as well live as in the studio. I don't think they're using studio tricks, but rather they just have a problem with consistency at shows. Any live act does. That's what makes it "live". Even The Beatles and the Beach Boys didn't hit it 100% of the time.
