I went to see Ween and The Flaming Lips at the Greek Theatre. After a very hot day at the shop, it was a relief to be outdoors at night watch two cool bands.

Then the drive over the bridge, still floating from the concert, was very nice...

Ween AND The Flaming Lips! :eek: **** yeah! :thumb:

What covers did Ween do? How long did the Lips play? Did the Lips do anything weird? I would LOVE to see those bands!

I would just like to point out that Sanjuro still needs to supply us with a review of this show.

Well, I missed half of Ween because of a nice police officer who pulled me over because I had a temporary tag and he was concerned that I had stolen my own car.

The Flaming Lips show was amazing. Wayne entered the stadium in a big Space Bubble, floating along the crowd. Then he released a bunch of large beach balls for people to play with.

He spoke frequently, but unlike a lot of frontmen who babble pretentious garbage, he spoke simply and frankly, and it was seducing. I was a large group of friends, he encouraged us to tell each other we loved them, and we complied.

They also had a large video screen, which they played some of their videos, including Valerie's 90210 introduction, but for "Do You Realize?"

The show was limited to about 2 hours due to curfew at the open-air Greek Theatre. I wanted to hear "When yer 22", but all I got was "She Don't Use Jelly". But "The Yeah Yeah Yeah" song got a huge response, and no left unsatisfied.

Did he then have everyone join hands and bust out a rocking rendition of

Kum ba la, my lord, ........kum ba la ???:agree:
I figured some a-hole would say something like that.

Lets say you had to be there.

EDIT: I should point out that I do care for my friends, and on that note, I am glad to tell them I love them.

The Lips are coming back through here soon. I think I'll go since Wayne finally has a SLIGHTLY different show with the new album out. Is he still doing the Bohemian Rhapsody sing along though? That was a bit annoying last year when he started busting it out.

Ween, well, you just can't deny the power of the boognish! They have been on point all year. I've gotten to catch two shows this year that have been bar none they best I have ever seen them.
