Has anyone here seen them live since The Terror was released? Is their live show still a celebratory event or are things more downbeat these days?

Not yet, but am in august and am looking forward to it.

Saw them 3 years ago at green man and that was about the best gig I've ever seen, despite not being a real flaming lips fan.

Possible spoilers. Disappointed by, no space bubble! few props, confetti cannons only used twice, and no giant balloons. Definitely less of a party and more of a performance. But what a performance! Wowed by new stage design and lighting although it certainly looked like the rumours of Wayne's coke fuelled egomania could be true. The set was a good mix of stuff old and new, I only noted two songs from the Terror, they sounded amazing in the live setting. Steven Drozd was fantastic, such an under-rated musician, one bum note stood out but only because it was in the middle of a beautiful guitar solo. There were a few sound issues but all round it's a Wow!

Fantastic, I'm looking forward to August.

Disappointed about the lack of space bubble though.
