Animal Collective @ Webster Hall: Fireworks.

With looming reports of a lackluster gig on Sunday evening (the first of the band's 2-night residency at Webster Hall), I wasn't sure if I should lower my expectations for last night's show. Thankfully, my trepidations were quickly demolished roughly ten minutes into Animal Collective's hypnotic tour-ending gig. If I declared their summer Seaport gig as 'magical' (review here), then this show was positively transcendental.

While the trio scattered their set between their last few albums, there's no denying that tunes from their latest LP, Strawberry Jam, were met with the greatest approval. Geologist, Panda Bear & Avey Tare unveiled the album's strident opener, 'Peacebone', early into the set, and it remained one of the evening's highlights throughout the 100+ minute show. Other standouts include 'Fireworks', 'Chores' and Sung Tongs favorite, 'We Tigers'. View more photos and an AC MP3 below. Check out The Village Voice's take on the gig here.
