Balloons! Giant Animals! Wayne!
November 4th, 2003
Just had a great weekend, culminating in watching the Flaming Lips last night at the Hammersmith Apollo (their biggest ever gig) with Marion. Quite possibly the best gig I’ve ever been to, in fact definitely the best gig I’ve ever been to - Wayne Coyne displaying great showmanship, hurling giant balloons at the audience, getting the crowd to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to randoms, doing a cover of ‘Seven Nation Army’, and wearing lots of fake blood, while (according to the NME) Chris Martin looked on approvingly. They’re great.
I tried getting a balloon as a souvenir but it popped. :-( Have to make do with the ticket stub instead…
