While the Lips’ have released several live concert DVDs (my favorite being 2007’s U.F.O.S at the Zoo because it captures the same show that I got to take my 9-old-son to where we wore Santa suits and danced and jumped around on stage beside the band, and had a laser flashlight battle with the alien vixens from space on the other side of the band at a key moment in the show), and have full concerts available to view on youtube, until now they’ve never released a live concert audio album. Fire Note Says: The Flaming Lips join together with the Colorado Symphony to recreate their 1999 masterpiece “The Soft Bulletin” at the landmark Red Rocks Amphitheatre.Īlbum Review: Back in 2016, somebody had the smarts to imagine a 20th anniversary celebration of Oklahoma City’s Flaming Lips’ breakout 1999 release, The Soft Bulletin, complete with a live album recorded at the picturesque Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and Chorus filling in for the synthesizer generated orchestrations on the original recording.
