I literally just got home from seeing them live in Indianapolis. First time seeing them live and I was right up in the front. When the confetti, fog, and balloons all came out once the song picked up, you could see my face was in absolute awe. I had ascended to heaven or something. I was probably close to crying. Honestly, the moment they began playing has made me the happiest I've been all year. Thank you, Flaming Lips. For the best night of the year.
Sitting here in tears.. saw them live in a similarly sized venue here in Detroit back in 2004. I was 16. They opened the show with Race For The Prize that night too. It was every bit as mesmerizing and beautiful as this. It was honest to god maybe the happiest I've ever felt in my entire life, it honestly felt like I was high on ecstasy or something even though I hadn't taken any. Felt that way for almost 2 weeks afterwards.
saw the flaming lips this past Sunday and was not a fan until now. they were at a music festival where I live and it was the last night in which fireworks are held..which is why I was at the festival..boy did I get a good show.
