Still, I touched the ball. I TOUCHED THE WAYNE BALL. Spoon totally killed it - I was pretty much in awe of their entire set. Bummed to have missed Fang Island, but it was just too early. Don't Look Back Soft Bulletin? BRINGIT. Open with Mercury Rev doing Deserter's Songs, with Dave Fridmann on sound; Frank - make it so. @Thierry – love the pic(s) and especially the notes on that photo. amazing.

I was slightly underwhelmed by the Lips (musicically) – likely due to not paying too much attention to their albums post-Yoshimi. Still, I touched the ball. I TOUCHED THE WAYNE BALL.

Spoon totally killed it – I was pretty much in awe of their entire set.

Bummed to have missed Fang Island, but it was just too early.

Don’t Look Back Soft Bulletin? BRINGIT. Open with Mercury Rev doing Deserter’s Songs, with Dave Fridmann on sound; Frank – make it so.

Also, I'm tired of the lets-play-the-album-straight-through concert trend.

I would love to see that. I wonder if it would hit a lot of markets, though. I had not heard the rumours of a Soft Bulletin “don’t look back”. I would love to see that.

Speculation, but viable... Anyway - seconding the "great photos" comment...

And speaking of Coyne as a laserhanded prophet/carnival barker/rock singer, I thought this shot illustrated this just about perfectly: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24851758@N08/4777267422/ I pretty much agree with everything you said about the Flaming Lips show (though you were a bit more enthusiastic about TPC than I was), especially the last paragraph.
