The Night Nurse: The Flaming Lips at Pemberton

The day has finally arrived.... I saw the Flaming Lips. After watching their live performance at the Oklahoma Zoo repetitively on DVD and wishing I had been there, I got to see them at Pemberton. They exceeded every one of my expectations. Wayne Coyne came out in the plastic bubble as I had hoped, and when they played Free Radicals, he yelled "Fanatical... FUCK" as I hoped he would, and he made fun of the people in charge of the festival for not giving him enough time to play on stage (which is classic Wayne... getting angry and ranting for something that pisses him off). And during the "Race for the Prize" (I think... I was pretty hammered), confetti filled the air and came down on the audience. Now I can officially resign my complaining for missing them at Sasquatch.
