this wilderness up in my head

Animal Collective hosted an enormous party for 3,000 of their disciples at Terminal 5 last night. The show- from the third floor balcony, next to the 7 foot speakers and above the undulating sea of fans- was awesome. Not so much as in “radical dude!” but as in I was in awe the entire 2 hours they played. Intoxicated by the lights, the sounds and those far more complex scientfic processes that govern good feelings, the show ranks as tops for the year thus far. The aerial shots are below.
