Waitin' For A Superman - Flaming Lips Live in France 1999

[aggro99]

Incredible band.I was lucky enough to have stumbled into the small tent at reading festival in the summer of '99 and witness something amazing - blood capsules,puppets,massive gongs,incredible backdrops.incredible music.i didnt blink in over an hour. Didnt go to another gig for three years because i knew that nothing could compare to that night.life changing.

So this was the Flaming Lips before they were popular enough to do whatever they want on stage.

So the video for Waitin' For a Superman hasn't always been the same video?

@Tracebebo My understanding is the official music video has always been the same, but there's different edits of it (with more and less blood - as detailed in the d-box).

[Tracebebo]

@psychexfutureheart Oh, I see. But, what I was actually talking about was the video for the projection if they played it live. Because, I know they played it at the first show in March 1999 at Trees, Dallas, TX.

@Tracebebo Oh you mean the live backing video…

I'm not sure what they used in spring 1999 but it couldn't be the park footage. It might've been the circles used in November on Jools Holland (look it up, it's on youtube).

Recently they play it with the view from the camera on WC mic on screen. Off the of my head I'm pretty sure most all times from 2000-2010 they played Superman in concert the music video footage was on the backing screen.

You raise a good question about earlier dates…

why does this have so few views?

[psychexfutureheart]

@Catz1987 Maybe because I just uploaded it 4 days ago and people haven't discovered it's here yet. Much more like this coming on my channel.  Subscribe and follow twitter/FutureHeartDay to stay updated.
