Part 3: Flaming Lips: Summercamp! after-party acoustic set

On September 8, 2006, Bradley Beesley and Sarah Price screened their documentary, Summercamp!, at the Toronto International Film Festival. The Flaming Lips contributed most of the music on the film's soundtrack, and the screening was planned to coincide with the band's tour schedule so that they could attend the screening and see the film.
The film screening was followed by an after-party at Gabby's, a bar on Bloor St. After a summer camp-style sing-a-long led by members of the film's cast and crew, and complete with a campfire and the passing around of lyric sheets, the Flaming Lips took the makeshift stage outside behind the bar and treated party-goers to a 3-song acoustic performance.

To meet YouTube's requirements, the performance has been cut into four parts:

1. Summercamp! after-party introduction
2. Jesus and the Spider Are In My Sleeping Bag Tonight.
3. Buggin'
4. Plastic Jesus

Apologies for the shoddy camerawork. Many thanks to Rani for telling me about the film, to Bradley for getting me into the party, and to the Lips for the show. I was definitely a happy camper that night.

I love this band.

[YourGoodTwin]

One of my favorite songs by them. It's very catchy and it's a shame more people don't know as I think it's very universally lovable.

I think they should play Buggin' more often in live shows. Also, it's so amazing as an acoustic!
