Flaming Lips- Bohemian Rhapsody

[tom]

Stimp,

I wish they would’ve played Mountain Man too. It’s funny, I never really liked that song on the album, but seeing the download festival video changed my opinion. Seeing them play it live was such a rush. They play that song so damn hard. J broke the trem on his strat when he was playing it at the Clevland show.

Maybe they didnt play Mountain Man in Detroit because J is using the strat to play it.

Take care, Tom

It was a great show, but I thought the sound was a bit better in Detroit. The band sounds so incredible. I stronly encourage everyone to catch as many shows as they can.

Sorry it took me so long to get the setlist up. I went to the Cleveland, Detroit, and Covington shows. Sound wise, I’d say the Detroit show was the best. In Cleveland, J’s wah gave him problems during 3 songs. It was almost unbearably hot in Detroit, but the sound was so fat.

Raisans
Bulbs of Passion
No Bones
Budge
In a Jar
Gargoyle
Little Fury Things
The Lung
Forget the Swan
Tarpit
Repulsion
FreakScene

Kracked
Sludge

I agree with Stanner, the tremelo is cool, but I too am I big surf guitar fan.

One of my favorite Dinosaur jr moments was at a show in Ohio on the Hand it Over tour. J was using a tremelo and I believe a clone theory during a long solo. It created a sound, that my friend described as playing ping pong because the tremolo was choppy, and it was bouncing between all the different amps. I’ve seen J live a good 15-20 times, and that was the only time I’ve seen him do that.

Thanks Bucky,

I just thought that was definately worst cover material.

Take care,
Tom

This may be slightly off topic, but how in the hell did that not make it in those worst album covers ever lists.

I was hoping they would tour during the summer. I teach, so I’m lucky to have the summer off. Usually I hit about 3 of J’s midwest stops when he tours during the summer, but I’m going to do my best to hit about 5 this summer.

Cant wait!

I dont think thats what your looking for, but I always thought it was one of the funnier J lyics.

I saw the Pixies play in Detroit, and I thought they we’re having a great time. It was so nice to see the members of the band looking over at each other during the middle of a song and smile at one another. It was obvious they we’re having a great time in Detroit.

I think they could tell from the audience how much they we’re appreciated and it was obvious they we’re really happy about it.

I never had a chance to see the original line up. The first show I saw was in 91, so I’d love to see the group get back together.

I prefer George to Murph on drums, and I really liked Mike Johnson and Watt on the bass over Lou, but my favorite album is still YLAOM by a wide margin. There was just something special about the original line up, and I would love to see them live.

Tom

I saw Sebadoh open for the Flaming Lips on the Soft Bulletin tour, and when Lou played Poledo, it brought a smile to my face. I’d love to see the original line up play Raisans, Sludge, and so many of those other songs we all grew up on.
