race for the prize

[zhyzpa]

What is the name the first song?

[lukeves]

@zhyzpa oh fortuna



[lukeashmoore]

I'm pretty sure the world is insane, and the Flaming Lips are the only ones who have any idea what is going on.

[wurzygon]

wtf? make him stop, somebody just tell him.

[jayleeds2006]

This song is so happy and melancholy at the same time. It's my favorite by the Flaming Lips.

[LewDude96]

man i was really hoping they would play this when i saw them in Milwaukee. great song and best band EVER.

[pagan9]

epic...

[soromeo905]

i will never forget this day. less than 200 feet from the stones and ac/dc smoking joints with strangers and some old bikers from montreal it was awesome

[retrocareermelted]

i love this song

[elwind45]

there is nothing wrong with waynes voice. You can see he cares about everybody having fun and nothing about his limitations. He is the true prize!

[Scrubsobsession]

yeah i hate it when people trash his voice. If you wanna trash voices go watch fucking american idol or something

[nuttyteacher]

@Scrubsobsession I don't understand if what people want is the technical level of an opera singer.Who cares about his voice when this guy always delivers passion? The concerts are so much fun because he gives it all.

[Garbanzo64]

I've never seen such an excited audience before :O

[13Knives1]

anyone know what cd this is on? Lukeves do you know? I have "At war with the mistics" and "Yoshimi battles the pink robots" I was going to get christmas on mars the other day but didn't know any of the songs on it.

[oversoulito]

this song is in the cd "The Soft Bulletin" the one before yoshimi and the firts one with warner records i think.

beautifull song! long life to the flaming lips!!

[sirmelancholia]

It's not The Flaming Lips' first record with Warner Bros. Their first with WB was "Hit to death in the future head" back in 1992.

[anjinho18]

What is the name of that song that plays before Race For The Prize? Help me, please!

[Petatje]

it's 'O Fortuna' from the Carmina Burana by Carl Orff.  :-)

[snootywaiter]

Woo! I was there! I was about 15 at the time, and I remember the flaming lips being one of the FUNNEST bands performing. Years later, I'm a die hard fan ^_^

[catemma7]

i love this band because there as crazy as me!!!

ahahah

[fortress69666]

I was in the front row the whole day, this band was absolutely shit, almost has bad as justin timberlake!!!

[offsetxpills9]

you clearly don't even know who the flaming lips are.

[notaphaser]

Frankly, it's a matter of how he sings. Wayne's got a falsetto vocal that's incredibly difficult to recreate perfectly onstage. this didn';t seem like an "on" day for the rest of the band as well......loving the hell out of this video, though, wonder how I can be one of the animal suit dancers.....

[loudspeaker003]

wayne's voice sounds better in this video then it does in most.

[Kilowarning2]

haha i remember watching it and thinking" Who is this fucking goof in the front" lol @ who evers acct this is

[Abortive]

This band should've duelled with Timberlake.

[Listenit]

it's hard to find this song's live clip except low qualities.

[Kilowarning2]

man i cant believe i fucking missed this

[SkaterDrummer678]

Where did you get this footage man, cause maybe they have better footage of me throwing a water bottle at Justin Timberlake.

[JHendrix70]

So, you were one of those idiots.....

[SkaterDrummer678]

Idiots, or smarts? Justin Timberlake was a douchebag maximus alright, though, I would never throw a water bottle at him while on stage with Rolling Stones.

[euthly]

I was about a kilometer behind you

[mikesajerk]

I was there.. it was super sweet

[MChelada]

CBC had terrible coverage. They were airing videos from earlier in the day while the Stones performed. It was as bad as ABC's coverage of Live Aid.

[harpalkallah]

Hahahahahaha.I love them.What a crap world it would be without them!!

[twilightgal]

The Flaming Lips defy description except to say that they remind me of my fictional next-door neighbor if he were a cool sexy hippie in a nice suit who made up good toe tappers.

[Thehollandrocket]

i was actually the dude sitting behind my computer watching this

[oversoulito]

lol

[tommy0226]

Wow..How many people were there in this festival?

[porchy21]

it was a concert that held 500000 people and a whole lot of weed

[hamiltoncritic]

500,000...I was one of em

[jamienelson2112]

I want that sun costume - where do they get those awesome suits???

[NewBlueUniverse]

i love this

[onemichaelhudson]

I wish I was the guy punching the air and screaming.
