Well if there's one thing I can say about these guys, its that they put on a show. From the moment Wayne Coyne took to the stage with his remote control bird, which he flew around the stage, the atmosphere was electric.
In typical Galway fashion the heavens opened up before and during the gig, so people got pretty soaked getting in, but it was not water that permeated through the mass of Galway heads, no, it was the chilled happy vibe that comes with their chilled happy music.
Smiles crested all around the tent throughout their excellent two hour set and they gave everyone their money's worth as they poured everything into their performance.
The light show and overall production was top notch and the whole performance was quite theatrical and worthy of praise. Here are some photos, though they don't do it any justice at all. The real deal looked ten times better.
Abzorbing Performance
And the prize for the cringiest pun ever goes to me for the that one! So Wayne Coyne stepped into this zorb up on stage and gave it socks with the rest of the band blasting out favorites like *Waiting for Superman.
Near the end of the show he vacated his temporary bubble and the roadies filled it with stuff and sent un bouncing around the tent, which was cool to watch and participate in.
Again here are some snaps.
They played a great mix of classics including these three favorites of mine, which I'll share below for those unfamiliar with the Lips.
The Flaming Lips - She Don't Use Jelly
The Flaming Lips - Waiting For Superman
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
They finished their set with this baloon ensemble saying Fuck Yeah Galway
Fuck yeah is right!! What a night it was.
