2008 The Flaming Lips Rehearsing

I shot the Flaming Lips rehearsing for the upcoming Who tribute. It's down and dirty but a lot of fun... sorry about the audio, that room gets really LOUD!

Shelly10538 dude I honestly feel the same way!!!!

I love these guys, ever since I seen them live in 2003 I I just can't get enough. It was crazy, The Vogue theater in Indianapolis turned into some kinda "happening" or something. Everybody was getting to know everybody and it seemed like the audience was really part of the show. They really try to deliver something special for their fans and it's the closest thing to magic I've ever seen.

@psychexfutureheart oh ok thanks, i really was curious and i had never read that but yeah that makes a lot more sense

[psychexfutureheart]

@chinacat They did Tommy on one of their tours 25 years ago!

@myway43 I think it's Michael who is using the smaller keyboard.

[psychexfutureheart]

@Squibfire I'm pretty sure he's not injured. In fact, he posts his running times on twitter and he's really fit.. and fast! I have however heard Wayne say they thought PiL looked cool in the early 80s on MTV and they took the seated bass look from them.

@JCM1325 i was wondering the same thing, i saw them live just a few months ago and before the show he was up walking around taking pictures and signing autographs and stuff and then once onstage he just took a seat, and hes sitting in every live performance i see on youtube, i always figured there was a reason, the back/knee pain possibility seems the most logical but idk

[JCM1325]

@Ezhuks You know, I wondered that as well. If I were to guess, I would say that maybe he had a past back injury or a knee surgery, and standing up for too long gives him pain. Now that's just a shot in the dark. I don't know if he's ever had any injuries or not. But that seems like a logical reason why he may sit down during some parts of the set.
