Yeah that’s right, I’m still basking in the afterglow a week after the show. You wanna do something about it?
Here’s a pretty cool video of the Lips at City Stages edited together by our friends at the Tuscaloosa News:
If you go to youtube and type in “Flaming Lips City Stages” you’ll find quite a few more videos.
It was absolutely the best concert I’ve ever been to. Period.
Here are a couple more pics I took last night with my phone:
And here’s a link to a slideshow of Flaming Lips City Stages pics. Here’s a page with mini-reviews of some City Stages acts; the Flaming Lips’ review is way down at the bottom. Also, an article about how The Flaming Lips’ show were a big part of a rejuvenated City Stages. Finally, a link to an interview with Wayne Coyne from Black & White, Birmingham’s alternative bi-weekly.
The Flaming Lips played Birmingham’s City Stages last night. I’ve been waiting for 10 years to see them and it was worth the wait. Words do not do justice to the spectacle that is a Flips show; the word “fun” was invented for just such occasions. I’d like to say more about it but how do you describe what happened last night? It was damn near spiritual. Without a doubt it was the best experience I’ve ever had at a concert.
I managed to snap some pics with my camera. Most of them look like Jackson Pollack prints, but I like this one:
Thank you, Matt and Amanda for being there with me. There’s nobody I would rather experience Big Fun with.
Also, I’d like to thank Galactic with Chali 2na and The Roots for putting on one hell of a show on Friday night.
