One of the greatest live shows I had ever seen was almost a year ago when the Flaming Lips came to the Allentown Fair. To describe the show in one sentence is nearly impossible: the music, the light spectacle, the confetti, the streamers, the dancing aliens and santas. If I had to use only one sentence, I would go with something along the lines of 'Wayne Coyne is a Showman.' He comes out in a suit, shooting streamers in to the crowd before entering his bubble to walk across and make contact with the crowd before launching in to "Race For The Prize."
For those of you who've never been so lucky to catch them live, now's your chance to do so from the comfort of your home, free of finding confetti in your bloomers the morning after (unless you invite Rip Taylor over or you just have your friends over and you throw your own for effect.) With the UFO's At The Zoo live DVD, the band descended on the zoo in their home state of Oklahoma to play before the masses. It was also the debut of their new entrance to the stage, a large UFO-looking dealy. Besides featuring live standards ("Fight Test," "She Don't Use Jelly," "A Spoonful Weighs A Ton,") the DVD also features behind the scenes footage and talkng to members of the audience as they wait all day in line. Better yet, the DVD is the all new MVI format, meaning you can watch the DVD, and then rip the songs to your computer to listen all day long. Hip hop hooray.
