I had a tremendous amount of fun! Isn’t that what a Flaming Lips show should be all about? They played two(!!!) full sets (all of Yoshimi, oh course ANA another whole set with enough Soft Bulletin to make me truly happy) AND an encore. My husband, who isn’t necessarily the biggest fan, had a great time, too. Really grateful I got to be there.

In true Flaming Lips fashion, they shot human remains from a cannon into the crowd: can’t repeat that one! Although a bit macabre, it had the spirit of celebration. Drozd contributed keyboard for opening band Particle Kid on a a deliciously soupy cover of Radiohead’s “The Anthem”.
Flaming Lips brough guest Nell Smith onstage for a cover of Nick Cave’s “Red Right Hand”. After a bumpy start Coyne helped out a little, showing the band’s generous support for their fellow artists.
The show was extremely welcome after addictively spinning American Head to help us through the pandemic. The band and their fans could finally connect in the same space.

This concert will be hard to beat. They were unreal! This venue is perfect, too. If you get a chance to see the Flaming Lips lives, then do it! They out on an incredible show, they used the stage beautifully. Also, if there is a great artist playing at the You Tube theatre, then go see them!! Not a bad seat but definitely try to sit on the floor or in the 100’s section ;)

About The Flaming Lips
The Flaming Lips are an American rock band, formed in Norman, Oklahoma in 1983.
Melodically, their sound contains lush, multi-layered, psychedelic rock arrangements, but lyrically their compositions show elements of space rock, including unusual song and album titles—such as "Psychiatric Explorations of the Fetus with Needles", "Free Radicals (A Hallucination of the Christmas Skeleton Pleading with a Suicide Bomber)" and "Yeah, I Know It's a Drag... But Wastin' Pigs Is Still Radical". They are also acclaimed for their elaborate live shows, which feature costumes, balloons, puppets, video projections, complex stage light configurations, giant hands, large amounts of confetti, and frontman Wayne Coyne's signature man-sized plastic bubble, in which he traverses the audience. In 2002, Q magazine named The Flaming Lips one of the "50 Bands to See Before You Die".
The group recorded several albums and EPs on an indie label, Restless, in the 1980s and early 1990s. After signing to Warner Brothers, they scored a hit in 1993 with "She Don't Use Jelly". Although it has been their only hit single in the U.S., the band has maintained critical respect and, to a lesser extent, commercial viability through albums such as 1999's The Soft Bulletin (which was NME magazine's Album of the Year) and 2002's Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. They have had more hit singles in the UK and Europe than in the U.S. In February 2007, they were nominated for a 2007 BRIT Award in the "Best International Act" category. By 2007, the group garnered three Grammy Awards, including two for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.
On October 13, 2009 the group released their latest studio album, titled Embryonic. On December 22, 2009, the Flaming Lips released a remake of the 1973 Pink Floyd album The Dark Side Of The Moon. In 2011, the band announced plans to release new songs in every month of the year, with the entire process filmed.
