The Flaming Lips @ Bonnaroo

Holy crap. Yesterday was brutal. After getting next to no sleep I had to run around in the brutal heat all day. It's so hot here it makes Austin City Limits feel like an Eskimo Pie.

I shot a bunch of different bands of all types and genres; She & Him, Tenacious D, Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Ranchers, but the topper was The Flaming Lips. True to form these guys put on a great show full of props and audience participation.

They started the set with a few of their well known staples and continued on with a full set of their best songs. This is when the real shit went down. Wayne Coyne and company performed the entire Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon album. All I can say was that it spectacular. With a little help from Beth Ditto from The Gossip, the Flaming Lips laid this record down like it was their own.
