It’s hard to compare and contrast one show by The Flaming Lips versus another unless, of course, you’ve seen them through the various manifestations of their thing. I had a conversation about the shows we used to see in the late 1980′s and early 1990′s of the Lips with their bubble machines and their light shows that really served as a launching pad for what the crowd at Bonnaroo got to experience this year. Had I not been running around trying to photographs of everyone, I would have stayed for more of their set. To put it succinctly, what I caught was pure musical spectacle the likes of which have not been seen from any modern touring act I can name. Wayne Coyne & Co. have perfected the art of the concert “event”, and I only hope that you, too, will some day get a chance to see the Flaming Lips live yourself. These pictures only tell a small portion of the story.
