The Flaming Lips At The Paramount - A Picture Retrospective

Last night MJ and I were front row for the Flaming Lips show at the Paramount in Seattle. For those of you who don't know the Flaming Lips put on one of if not the best live shows in rock. When you've seen a band several times you tend to know what to expect but when it comes to the Lips you have no idea what will happen from one show to the next. You only know a few things for certain, there will be dancing Santa Clause and aliens, lots of confetti, and some heartfelt words from Wayne. This show was no different so instead of writing about the show we give you The Flaming Lips at the Paramount a picture retrospective. Gander on for the goodness.













Gander On!
