    Park underneath the hollywood and highland shopping center/chinese manns theater. Its not stacked parking or anything, its not a long walk, and if you get it validated (I always go to starbucks, buy nothing, and they do it for free) it ends up being $2 - $5 depending on how long you stayed at the bowl. :thumbup

     

    BRILLIANT!!!

    The Outfield - Your Love

     

    Josie's on a vacation far away

    Come around and talk it over

    So many things that I wanna say

    You know I like my girls a little bit older

    I just wanna use your love tonight

    I don't wanna lose your love tonight

     

    I ain't got many friends left to talk to

    No one's around when I'm in trouble

    You know I'd do anything for you

    Stay the night but keep it undercover

    I just wanna use your love tonight

    I don't wanna lose your love tonight

     

    Trying to stop my hands from shakin'

    Somethin' in my mind's not makin' sense

    It's been a while since we were all alone

    I can't hide the way I'm feelin'

     

    As you leave me please would you close the door

    and don't forget what I told you

    Just 'cause you're right - that don't mean I'm wrong

    Another shoulder to cry upon

    I just wanna use your love tonight

    I don't wanna lose your love tonight

     

    Yeah

     

    I just wanna use your love tonight

    I don't wanna lose your love tonight

    I just wanna use your love tonight

    I don't wanna lose your love tonight

     

    Tonight

    Are the setlists almost the same each concert?

     

    I've seen them like 4 other times and they played much longer. And the movies were better too. I'm guessing they couldn't play their regular movies since this concert was going on DVD. For example, the Battle Royal shoot em up scene wasn't included on Yoshimi. Race For the Prize wasn't it's normal background either. Not nearly as good with the background movies.

     

    First time that I've never heard them play Vaseline either. Nothing old :(

     

    Usually there's at least 5 more songs in their setlist.

    Wowwwy Wow Wow Wow.... Incredible showing by the Flaming Lips.

     

    So first of all. You can bring alcoholic beverages into the Hollywood bowl, so you know it's going to be great! They were also handing out those tri-colored glow in the dark loops/necklaces to people as they walked in. I got there in time to see the closing of the Theivery Corporation's set. They had some pretty good tunes that got quite a few people out of their seats dancing. Wayne came out wearing large hands and did a song with them to close.

     

    Before the lips came on, Wayne came out and announced that they were taping a live DVD tonight and it would be out in probably 9 month. Then he proceeded to get in the bubble and walk around the crowd.

     

    They opened up with Race for the Prize and the energy was great. People started taking off their glow in the dark necklaces and started forming huge lines connecting them. The balloons were out in full force throughout the crowd as well. They didn't have the usual 6 people dressed as animals with flashlights on stage. This time they had about 30 people dressed as Santa on one side of the stage, and on the other side of the stage they had about 30 people dressed as Aliens.

     

    They played only stuff off of Yoshimi, Soft Bulletin, and At War With The Mystics.

     

    From What I remember they played: (can't recollect entire setlist in order)

     

    Yeah Yeah Yeah Song

    Free Radicals

    It Overtakes Me

    Yoshimi

    Race For The Prize

    Do You Realize

    (I'm not remembering like 2 other songs)

     

    Near the beginning of the set they had everyone throw their glow necklaces to the front. IT WAS INCREDIBLE seeing all these glow sticks flying through the air. I happend to have caught one on my arm like it was the fair and I won a goldfish. People were chucking them the entire night. To look backwards into the crowd and see all these glow necklaces flying at you was very captivating. haha... my concert buddy told me to look behind me, and when she turned around she took a glow necklace right to the face.

     

    The Setlist was rather short. I don't know if there is some kind of cease order on music @ 10:30 there or what?

     

    They closed with Black Sabbath's War Pigs!!!! Phenomenal. The crowd was insane! On the large monitor they kept flashing images of bombs and missles. Then they flashed images of Bush, Rumsfeld, and Cheney and they place went crazy.

     

    Then the parking lot sucked

     

    If anyone knows what song the Thievery Corporation closed with, I'd love to get my hands on that song. Only thing I can recall is that it had a sample of Easy-E counting "and in comes the 2 to the 3 and 1"

     

    Hope my review wasn't too scattered, haha but I guess that's how the concert felt too.
