The hairs on the back of my neck are getting ready for the sonic assault of Ronald Jones

I straight out love this fucking song.."and sure,it seems easy now, but I'll tell you what, we were perplexed...finding the needle in the needle's disguise."

[imnotclumsy]

I remember that show. Totally amazing.

[ledhed86]

their stop on this tour at The Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC has been my finest live music experience to date

[imaluzababy]

Wow. Thanks so much for posting. The anticipation made my heart race from the beginning. I saw this show 3 days later in Austin. The only difference was that the band members were totally covered in lights, too. My 1st FLips show was in 1990, most recent was at ACLFest.

This 1996 show is my favorite, to date.

[TomViolence12]

this has always been my favorite song by them, this just pushes it over the top, amazing

[SubicBayMantaRay]

epic when the lights come on!

[FooFighterBiffyClyro]

They finally got to Ronald Jones at the end there....didn't realise how much of the guitar he played on this song...pretty much all of it

[waxandwaner]

wow.wow.wow.

Saw them on this tour in Carrboro - it still remains the best live show that I've ever seen. Thanks for the vid!

[spryguy12345]

holy shit. those lights were more than anything i ever could have expected. even in their youth as a band, they managed to amaze. i only wish they would play tracks off Clouds still, it's their best work to date.

[UTOG90]

hahaha they'd been around since 86, but yeah awesome

[jamesgood72]

I was at this very show. To this date, my best gig ever!

[gabe1k]

Thank you so much for posting this. I saw this show in Chapel Hill and that moment when the lights come on is still at the top of my favorite concert moments. I don't remember hardly anything else about the show, but I'll never forget this number. The best thing is that you could see all the lights laid out when they were still off, but you had no idea how dazzling the effect would be when they all came on at once.

[agentanaranjado]
