About this concert
Released in July 2002, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots remains the commercial high-water mark in The Flaming Lips' wild four-decade journey, giving the Grammy award-winners their first RIAA certified Gold Record. As the eagerly awaited follow-up to 1999's masterwork, The Soft Bulletin, Yoshimi proved that singer/guitarist Wayne Coyne and multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd had yet another masterpiece in them. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is a sci-fi themed quasi-concept album that cast The Flaming Lips' most playful and profound songs to date in a wonderous swirl of ambient electronics, digital beats and psychedelic splendor. The record yielded the band's top-streaming track, "Do You Realize??" (a timeless stargazing anthem that, in 2009, was named the Official Rock Song of the band's native Oklahoma) and also landed the Lips their first-ever Grammy Award win for the cosmic album-closing instrumental "Approaching Pavonis Mons by Balloon (Utopia Planitia)."

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.
