Reviews Bido Lito! June 2015
Day today, the maximalist length tracks
benefit from a mix that captures the
hypnotic guitar clamour well. The colossal
Forevermore, which stretches into double
figures, meanwhile showcases Moore’s
ability to stretch material out to epic
proportions whilst remaining able to
keep the audience onside.
Behind all of the stagecraft and
performance, THE FLAMING LIPS’ shows
are capable of eliciting profound and
sincere emotion. Underneath the baubles
and balloons beats a heart of pure,
unadulterated love and joy, unfettered
by the trappings and the day-to-day
minutiae. For ninety minutes, the band
transports the audience to a different
place. A place where we can regress to
the simple joy of watching a man roll
around in a hamster ball and lose all selfconsciousness and just enjoy dancing to
some great music. In between inflatable
Santas, marriage proposals and the best
custom balloon work you're likely to
see, Wayne Coyne and his band of merry
pranksters remind everyone just what is
so special about live music. The love the
band shows on stage is magnified and
reciprocated by the crowd, and the sense
of joy in the air is palpable long after they
leave the stage. Fuck yeah Liverpool.
