Yes, it was the Flaming Lips that I meant. My recollection is that he tried to sing from inside some sort of bubble, looked like he was trying to escape and most of the time seemed to be struggling for air. Perhaps that was all 'art' but it was lost on me, and everyone else seemed pretty bemused too. My (daughter's) friend was a junior on the sound team at the d&b tent, and super excited about the bleeding edge technology that is being showcased, and just at Womad too. 3D sound is going to revolutionise the way we engage with live music, he told me (repeatedly). And he speaks with conviction and knowledge, he is absolutely into this stuff, so I expect he is right. But I must admit I agree with Mikey, the sound was good but nothing special and perhaps not as good as when it was in a smaller tent. I didn't have the heart to tell him though, plus I thought it was probably just me not tuning in properly... I believe he did it as a nod to the Flaming Lips interesting way to have some concerts during Covid. |

I believe he did it as a nod to the Flaming Lips interesting way to have some concerts during Covid. I remember seeing them around 2011 and Wayne Coyne started the show in the zorb ball, coming down over the heads (arms) of the audience. The difference now is he spends more time in the ball and not sure how long he has been doing that. I thought it was pretty good though, but then I am a big fan of seeing the flaming lips live. |
