sorry i missed this. 2 work night shows in a week (lips & u2) = rugged. has been a schizo week. started off so great with the shows. then came thursday. devasted by chris cornell's passing. + am having some extra doctor/med insurance trouble. my 2nd job. to answer your question, i've seen the lips several times. they are always stellar. this show was really great. the light show has grown to epic size. i've made my friend a fan & she loved it. told me we wouldn't be missing them if they play in town any time. good sign. hopefully won't be as long a wait as this time. they hadn't played

I'm really depressed about this. The "grunge" years were my glory years career wise. So sad. Is going to be another long day.

I am in total shock. I knew him a little. http://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/music/soundgarden-frontman-chris-cornell-dead-52-n761391

Flaming Lips were amazing last night. The light show is unreal. Openers Klangstof were very good also.

Ya, All I Want is You is a fave of mine also. Maybe they will change a few songs around.

Nice! Luv Matthew. Totally nice guy as well as stellar musician. The Flaming Lips tonight. Finally! After U2 Sunday & Flaming Lips tonight, I finally got smart & took tomorrow off from work to recover.

I thought the show was fantastic. Maybe the best I've seen them & I started with the War tour. I saw them in 1987 but got too polluted & don't remember that one. I also saw a show right when Achtung came out that was excellent. Before it was a stadium thing. This one was special though. For a stadium show, the sound was amazing. Century Link is actually quite good for stadium acoustics as it was designed with that in mind. I was in the front part of the upper deck. From youtube clips, it seems like Seattle was much better than Vancouver. There were a lot of hassles getting in Vancouver

U2 tonight!

How were the Lips? Tapes I've heard from this tour have been awesome.

RIP J Geils. He was a mighty guitar player!

Steven Drodz. Heart & soul of the Flaming Lips. My favorite drummer & keyboard player & way up on the list of favorite guitar players. Great singer, too! "Feeling Yourself Disintegrate" has an epic guitar solo on the current tour that keeps getting better & better every time they play it. Totally emotional & perfect. So glad he's ok now....

that's the beauty of neil...always keeps us guessing!

always welcome new material from Greg Dulli & company. i've been playing the reissues of "Gentlemen" & "Black Love". "Black" is a desert island disc for me. The remaster is stellar.

I scored front row for Midnight Oil in May, Seattle. Quite excited about this one!

no wonder the country music establishment is ignoring him & margo price. they are very afraid!

The Flaming Lips!!!!!!!!!! the songs that have been released early are excellent!

thanks, hanging in. is kind of a double whammy with the holiday season. its pretty vicious but i'm still upright most of the time for now. reference note which i hope you all don't have to know: never a good sign when they put on the haz mat gear to mix the "cocktail". eesh!

thanks to all

Thank you Cowboy Poet. Hope you are staying warm up there in the wilds of BC. It is colder than a witches whatever here in Seattle. I've decided that the literature about hell is wrong. It is actually freezing cold!

thank you
