| The Flaming Lips put on the show I've dreamt about for the past few years. Unrehearsed, fresh, and with their guitars blazing, they started their set with a cascade of orange and green balloons and covered Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. After introducing a few new tracks from their upcoming album, they settled in on an extended version of Yoshimi before setting the place ablaze by introducing punk staple
Peaches.
With the punk mistress aboard, Wayne picked up his half of the duet for a set ending and ear drum popping rendition of Black Sabbath's War Pigs.
