The Flaming Lips

So I saw the Flaming Lips tonight. It was in a word: amazing. I saw them a few years ago at the Minnesota State Fair but I was just getting into their music at that point so this was a totally different experience. My friends and I were up close, the 6th row or so and I had the pleasure of touching Wayne Coyne’s shoe as he crowd surfed above us in his inflatable space bubble. The music was stellar, the crowd was energetic (although I would have like more jumping, I was jumping but those around me kept their feet on the ground for the most part which is a shame really), the stage was very impressive and it all made for a perfect show. It was great to be there with so many great friends too; I’m glad I go to a school where many of my friends get as excited about things like this as I do.
This was an unforgettable show and I feel so lucky that I saw them again. It was a total surprise when I heard they were playing, I didn’t believe it at first. I almost still can’t believe it. It was an experience like no other. Peace.
