Ten Songs, Five Dozen Dancers, 18,000 Glowstick Hurlers

By Ryan - Monday July 24th 2006

Flaming Lips Hollywood Bowl

Flaming Lips Hollywood Bowl

The Flaming Lips are my favorite band. To be sure, my very first Losanjealous entry dealt with last summer’s Fearless Freaks DVD release and the Beesley/Coyne Cinespace Q&A session:

“What is this thing…A blog? A website? What the hell happens? What do you do, write shit, link something relevant and make the clever? Fuck it I’m in. What’s to lose?”

I watched the movie again yesterday in order to work myself into a proper frenzy before the show. It’s just brilliant. Almost as brilliant as being one of the 18,000 people throwing glowsticks at the stage last night.

Almost.

    i always forget to wear my glasses to shows. i could see well enough, but i couldn’t quite tell what the dancers on stage right were. were they elves? aliens? topless?

    EVEN BETTER! They were actually topless alien elves!

    cate, huberto’s right. they had topless mermaid ladies alongside a whole cadre of aliens. erstwhile captain america, thor and spider-man kept the peace, running around doing good deeds on and offstage.

    I think. But why take my word for it

  7. [...] loud as hell. loved it. i hadn’t heard any of the at war material live other than at the bowl, so really enjoyed that. and they pulled out an oldie - “mountain side” from priest [...]
