The Flaming Lips – UFO’s At The Zoo

Label: Warner Bros. Records

Since the Flaming Lips released their debut album Hear It Is in 1986 they have become renowned all over the world for their multi-layered, psychedelic arrangements and spaced-out lyrics.  With over 10 albums and even more singles, the bands live magic has never before been captured on DVD. 

Without giving too much away about this DVD, if you’re a fan of The Flaming Lips you will know that they have a reputation for being one of the best and most exciting live bands around at the moment.  This live show was filmed in the band’s home town of Oklahoma City on September 15th last year at the Zoo Ampitheater and shows the band on top-form with this home coming, over the top extravaganza.  This live show includes over 20 tracks including She Don’t Use Jelly, Race For The Prize, Do You Realize, The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song and both parts of Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots.  As well as the complete show the DVD also includes backstage footage and the build up to this Flaming Lips classic.

This release is due out September 24th on MVI format (Music Video Interactive) and is packed with extras.  This disc has downloadable MP3s of all live tracks, you can make your own ringtone and you can even make your own mix of The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song with NU-MYX.  Plus wallpapers and an art booklet PDF.  This is a must for all Flaming Lips fans or fans of live music.
