Flaming Lips 1993 The Process

I was trying to find a song or something in their live show at this period that summed up to me what a great experience a flaming lips show was then. "The Process" has Bubbles(important)and a spacey interlude with Ronald Jones doing his magic with Wayne at the helm. The song just before this one was One million Billionth of a millisecond and that rocked so hard but The Process was a rarely played instrumental song they did on one occasion when I saw them.I think it ended up on a B-side. This was in 1993, I had just seen them play this particular set in Grand Rapids,Michigan at the now defunct Reptile House. My friends amped me up about this one and it was even better than I remembered.And very loud. They encored with Oh my pregnant head/labia in the sunlight.
This was one of my first experiences watching a flaming Lips trip. This seemed like the one that summed up the whole thing.loud,pretty,spaced out,bombastic.
I like where the Lips were,what they were doing and what they have become.

yeah I was at this show. A pregnant woman asked to hear Turn it On but Wayne applogized and played Oh My Pregnant Head...memories...seem so far away! First and only show they played without out much for stage lights, bubbles, x-mas lights, etc. See them 9 times since over 17 years span. Thank you for this this!!! There were a hundred people there..i dunno i was stoned

Also, Ronald made a very strange chirping noise into the microphone instead of the "testing testing" sound most people do. Michael wore sunglasses, a motorcycle jacket and a Spacemen 3 t-shirt. Occasionally someone in the audience would yell "Love yr Brain Wayne!" Most importantly... EVERYTHING was covered with X-mas lights, but this wasn't evident until the distortion kicked in on "Turn it On".

I had the pleasure of seeing them in a tiny club called "Call The Office" in London, Ontario, Canada. Their shows weren't as big budget then. I remember it being one of the loudest concerts I've been to and Ronald's guitar sounding more like a U.F.O. than a guitar. When they did a sound check, Wayne played along with The Cars (which was playing over the P.A. system)
