The Flaming Lips to Release First-Ever Live DVD on July 10
"U.F.O.s at the Zoo: The Legendary Concert in Oklahoma City"
Captures Manic Energy of Band's First Hometown Show in Years
BURBANK, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Grammy Award-winning "Gonzo
wig-lifters," THE FLAMING LIPS will release their first-ever live
DVD, titled "U.F.O.s AT THE ZOO: THE LEGENDARY CONCERT IN OKLAHOMA
CITY," on July 10th, 2007. Filmed at the Zoo Amphitheater in the
band's hometown of Oklahoma City on September 15th, 2006, the DVD captures
the complete over-the-top Technicolor thrill of band's first local show in
several years to an absolutely manic capacity crowd of furry fanatics.
For as long as the Lips have been touring, fans have demanded live
concert footage. Check YouTube for further proof! Finally, the wait is
over and well worth it. Fans will be floored by this blazing panoply of
sonic and visual sensory-overload that is The Flaming Lips live
experience. For those who have never seen the Lips live, imagine a rock
& roll happening hosted by the freshly-dosed minds of Lewis Carroll,
P.T. Barnham and Timothy Leary spiking the collective punch-bowl at the
world's biggest birthday party. There could only be one house band and the
result might be something like the show you'll see on this DVD. The track
listing includes Lips favorites such as, "Race For The Prize,"
"Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" (Parts 1 and 2), "Do You
Realize??," and a rarely performed version of "Love Yer
Brain," from 1987's "OH MY GAWD!!!... THE FLAMING LIPS,"
their 2nd studio album. Live tracks will be interspersed with backstage
sneak peeks and various absurd events of the day preparing for the big
homecoming spectacle.
"U.F.O.s AT THE ZOO: THE LEGENDARY CONCERT IN OKLAHOMA CITY"
will be released as a single disc on the new MVI format (Music Video
Interactive, formerly known as the DVD album format), so it will be
packaged in a slightly larger-sized jewel case and enclosed booklet. The
disc will include the entire Oklahoma City concert, MP3s of the audio,
digital artwork, a ringtone application, which will allow fans to make and
buy their own Lips ringtones. The URT one application will enable fans to
select portions of Lips studio recordings (but not live versions) for a
more personal choice of available ringtone options. Thirteen different
tracks in all will be available for selection.
The ROM zone portion of the disc will contain a PDF of the art booklet,
Buddy icons, photos and various digital extras that will make this the
ultimate special package for fans of The Flaming Lips.
The Flaming Lips, who recently took home two more Grammy Awards for
their current album "AT WAR WITH THE MYSTICS," are on the road
this month making select U.S. appearances. A full-scale American tour is
planned for this summer. Details to be announced shortly. For more news on
