Kinda OT, but I was thinking about upcoming live electronic music shows and
couldn't help but compare with the Flaming Lips show last week in Montreal.
Why can't more live shows be like this one? It must be the best live
experience I have seen in my life. I must say that the last time they came
to my hometown of Montreal was during the 1994 Lolapalooza tour (forgettable
performance).
It's a great experience, with strong visuals a la Boards of Canada, dancing
fans on stage, equipped with fur costumes and big flashlights, huge balloons
flying around, energy-packed Wayne Coyne (singer), that came up with so many
things to say and show.
Now I think about some shows I have seen in the past, like Clayton behind a
small laptop, Vibert in total darkness, and countless other acts that don't
give a shit if you're watching or not. I know I can't compare them with the
music of the Flips, don't want to start on the same subject again, I guess I
was just too excited about their show and had to write about it.
