Flaming Lips & Primus Tickets

I bought the tickets due to the show being billed for Primus. We get there and Primus opened the show. Primus put on a great show including some new material. However when FL came out, disaster ensued. They tried to do some weird combination of Wizard of Oz and Dark Side of the Moon tribute - I've synchronized the movie and album, it is kinda cool. It was like trains colliding into one another. I'll admit the music was good, however Wanye butchered the lyrics with "his" interpretation of how they should be sung. After "Breathe" and "Time" they starting singing "Somewhere over the Rainbow". We left. What a dissapointment. I wanted to like the flaming lips rendition. I just couldnt because it was so bad.

Absolutely incredible show, one of my favorite ever. I've seen the Flaming Lips more than a dozen times, and they continue to blow me away! This was the best Flaming Lips performance at Red Rocks, hands down. The band was tight and focused, and their was a minimum of screwing around with toys and gimmicks between songs. Amazing, positive, downright blissful experience!

I could watch Les Claypool play his intense brand of bass for hours (maybe days) on end. He and Primus brought their A-game, as usual, and the crowd was loving it. I couldn't stop bouncing around to the music. The Primus show probably would have been enough for one evening, and adding the Flaming Lips to this made the night positively epic. Even though I wanted to hear more Lips songs, watching them cover "Dark Side of the Moon" was mesmerizing. Wayne Coyne and Co. put everything they had into that performance, as if they had originally written the songs and were performing them for the first time. The Pink Floyd music was broken up with snippets of songs from "The Wizard of Oz," which turned into a giant happy audience sing-a-long. When Flaming Lips finished DSOM, they obliged us with one Lips song: "Do You Realize??" It was magical. The audience was so amped up, and everyone sang along while lights were flashing and confetti was flying. It felt like New Year's Eve, but with none of the disappointment. I had built up my expectations for months prior to this show. Both bands exceeded and then obliterated my expectations. GREAT show.

Mind Blowing. Red Rocks is beautiful and the laser lights only added to the phenomenal experience.

Primus killed. Les never disappoints, Jay definitely bringa them back to the frizzle fry days. The lips are insane and definitely worth seeing. Their take on flyod most fun and they are very into making the experience very interactive for the audience.

Best show I have seen. The musicianship of Primus combined with the fanfare and visuals of the Flaming Lips made for a unforgettable night.

The show was pretty good. The stage setup was awesome. As expected the Lips were very interactive. People seemed to like Primus but I am not a huge fan. Their set last longer than the Lips and I wish the opposite was true. The Lips also didn't start until 10:30 or so. I am sure a few years ago I wouldn't have cared, but it was late. Overall good show, just wished it wasn't on a Wednesday night.

I have been a Flaming Lips fan for years, but my first time to see them live was at redrocks. I have never heard dark side of the moon sound so good. They absolutely killed it. I have seen Pink Floyd (without Roger Waters) and Roger Waters solo concerts play portions of dark side of the moon, and in my opinion the Flaming Lips sounded way better. Also, the sound system blew me away. What a great concert.

One of the most entertaining bands covered one of the most amazing albums at the most beautiful venue.

Seeing the Flaming Lips perform Dark Side of the Moon is likely the most unique and amazing show I've ever seen. I feel very fortunate that I was able to attend. I've always felt that the Lips were a sort of "spiritual successor" to Pink Floyd, so it was very fulfilling to see their interpretation of one of the greatest rock albums of our time. Amazing visuals, fantastic sound & an overall memorable experience. Every rock show should aspire to be as great.

I have seen Primus too many times to count and I am sad to say this the first show I have been disappointed with. I think Primus played for a little over an hour, and the rest of night was a crappy version of Dark Side of the Moon by the Flaming Lips. I guess I kind of thought Primus was going to be the main event or help play some Floyd or something but the tickets did say Flaming Lips and Primus, not Primus and the Flaming Lips.
