Notes: Animal Collective at Lux, my first time seeing them. First of all, what a ridiculous excuse for a venue they played in. A dark, claustrophobic, bassy cave, with air conditioner from hell to detract you from enjoying the show, making you wish you were outside instead (and it was pouring that night). I had the AC unit right above my head, so this recording has an unusually high noise floor, easily masked by the *painfully loud* P.A. levels during the songs, courtesy of the sound tech for the evening, which I will refer to as "The Butcher". I forgot my earplugs for the evening, leaving me with a buzz in my ears for a couple of days after the show. The recording itself is awesome. This is a perfect example of the potential a audience recording has, if the crowd can STFU throughout the whole show. Everybody seemed to hate the show... to a portuguese crowd, it's all about "artist interaction", "abrigados", and portuguese flag-waving, while music is a simple accessory. I've enjoyed it, even though I was starting to get very uncomfortable at the end, thanks to "The Butcher". They also played one brand new song, adding bonus "awesome points" to the recording (track #4). Thanks to "guyanakoolai" at Dime for giving me the working title. Great stereo image, very nice sound quality, and a quiet crowd. I'm damn proud of this recording, considering the atrocious room where they played. I was clueless on most of the setlist, so I'd like to thank "thierryhenry" at ts.com, for helping filling in the gaps. "In Lux, the air conditioner doesn't blow... It sucks".
