En esto que nos plantamos en el escenario principal, donde los pasados de #TheFlamingLips volvían a presentar su espectáculo de 2002, "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots", con toda la parafernalia de inflables, globos y confetti.

Pues eso: flipante. Nos lo pasamos pipa, a pesar de la lluvia.

Epilog, part two...

Not shared: Photos of my son wearing the oversized concert sweatshirt that I got for him. I used to buy a concert t-shirt at every one that I went to, as a wearable souvenir. This isn’t his first souvenir or clothes from a concert, but hopefully it’ll be a link in a long chain. #TheFlamingLips #Paris #concert

Epilog, part one...

I had the pleasure of meeting @ellouis
and his family after the show. We’d only been a couple of meters apart the entire time!

I owe a _huge_ thanks to him, because it was thanks to his posting about this concert that I’d found out about it. Everything about this evening was serendipitous (a word that I’d like to imagine would be among Wayne Coyne’s favorites – but I’m biased, since it’s one of mine). #TheFlamingLips #Paris #concert

All good things come to an end. Thank you so much to The Flaming Lips and everyone else involved with putting on the concert. It ranks up there with my all-time favorites.

Fuck yeah, Paris. #TheFlamingLips #Paris #concert

After a short break, the band returned for the second half of the show. This was filled with fan-favorites (and band-favorites?) like “She Don’t Use Jelly” and “Waitin’ For a Superman”.

I enjoyed all of the songs that they’d picked, but it was the surprise (to me) inclusion of “The Golden Path” that was the big standout. I’d only ever thought of it as a Wayne Coyne collaboration with The Chemical Brothers, so it was a happy surprise for me. #TheFlamingLips #Paris #concert

...to finish. #TheFlamingLips #Paris #concert

...some standout songs from an album that I love all the way through... #TheFlamingLips #Paris #concert

...with a brief intro... #TheFlamingLips #Paris #concert

The first half was “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots”, which was just perfect from start... #TheFlamingLips #Paris #concert

The grand finale.

Moments like these make me glad to be alive.
