Live music is on the up, it's now practical and easy to share your experiences in real time, people will always want to share stuff that they think is cool. The Flaming Lips understand this, why should a gig just be a stage with people on it playing music to a crowd with pint in hand when there is the opportunity for so much more?
Their recent gig at the Troxy, London challenged this definition - it became a 'remarkable' event for the levels of interactivity an psychedelic madness on display. People who were there obviously connected with it, my facebook newsfeed has seen a steady stream of pics, bad videos and energised status updates all praising Wayne Coyne and his band of merry men. They were rewarded with conversation and attention, the digital currency.
Respect to the band for thinking big and challenging the parameters
