I hear from friends that this show was "pretty good for being on a tiny stage in an intersection, with no way to actually see the show. And the sounds wasnt very good."
"But, was Wayne Coyne at least doing his whole crazy, out-of-his-mind-entertaining and getting fans involved shtick?" I asked.
"Oh yeah. He did the hamster ball and everything," ____ said.
"What about the butterfly king, did he make an appearance?"
"No, but Do You Realize what this means?" (their voice was bold, not my editing)
"What?" i ask, eyes rolling audibly into the phone. (think about that!)
"They'll have to come back!"
I can only hope Coyne and the Flaming Lips come back - tho i couldnt get to Toronto this weekend, id pretty much go out of my way to see the Lips any time, anywhere. Damn, I should it been there.
Anyway, it feels somehow callous, writing this post to follow the previous one...but the show must go on they say, and the Lips surely do put on an unforgettable show. Despite the night's earlier tragic stage collapse at the Radiohead gig, Coyne put on a fitting tribute and cited the accident during the show. For a well-written take on the pros and cons of the show, here's a pretty funny link And here's another pretty good show review, less satirical but with more setlist detail.
