“Race for the Prize” was the only track off “The Soft Bulletin” to make it to Burlington, unfortunately.
He went on to explain how they have not grown tired of playing it – seeing the crowd’s excitement during the opening notes keeps it fresh. “She Don’t Use Jelly” was the earliest song from the Lips catalogue played, originally from their early 90s album, “Transmissions from the Satellite Heart.” “Jelly,” the band’s one semi-hit, has been played at every show since 1994, Coyne claimed. The show, unfortunately, only traced the band’s roots back so far. “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Part I” was a crowd favorite with Coyne manning confetti launchers, and an audience sung refrain to close out before segueing into Part II. “Vein of Stars” and “The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song” also made the cut. Coyne encouraged crowed participation and all in attendance sang along at the specified parts. Their newest release, “At War With the Mystics,” made the brunt of the setlist, with “Free Radicals” following up the opener. From there the show proceeded to showcase a slice of the Lips’ career focusing on the recent. He emerged after a few laps over our heads, grabbed his acoustic and launched into a transcendent, rollicking version of “Race for the Prize” complete with a stage flanked by hordes of aliens and Santa Clauses. More hamster than man, Wayne ran around on top of the crowd, a toy for fans’ bouncing enjoyment. Indeed, he entered stage right within an inflated plastic balloon. With things at their most ominous, Wayne emerged from backstage to a reaction akin to a Saturn V at liftoff.In typical Flaming Lips fashion, Coyne could not simply run onstage and get on with the show. The band, minus Coyne, began tinkering with their instruments, creating the spacey soundscape you would only expect to emanate from these musicians. The crowd a-buzz (or buzzed, depending on who you asked), The Lips finally hit the stage slightly after 9, following performances by Oh No! Oh My! and Lake Trout, to a packed Patrick Gym.
As of the night of the show, I wouldn’t have thought it possible either – I couldn’t have been more wrong. Throw “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” onto your iPod right now and tell me you’d ever believe that The Flaming Lips could transform such a vibrant, unique album into a workable live performance. with one barely coherent thought bounding through my consciousness: “What the hell just happened?” So many bands struggle to find an equilibrium between stage act and studio performance – either their albums create an indescribable sound impossible to recreate live (Boards of Canada and other electronic acts come to mind) or their live show is just too explosive to capture in 11 studio tracks (e.g. I considered it impossible that Wayne, Steve and Mike could wow me like they did the first time I heard “The Gash.” Yet, there I was, 10:33 p.m. The Flaming Lips have been a staple of my aural enjoyment for quite a while now and I didn’t think they could surprise me anymore.
