The Flaming Lips, live in union square, San Francisco, CA on May 13th, 1995. This video has been sitting around since 1995, when I shot it and never traded it. I'm not sure anyone wants to see early live footage of when the Flaming Lips were just a psychedelic punk band. If folks like it, I'll post the rest of the 25 min show later. enjoy!

Really cool! Back in the days when the FL's stage didn't look like a Dr. Seuss cartoon.

well with sounds like the ones ronald jones plays, a guitarist has to have a lot of intuition and knowledge. Most guitarists, especially nowadays, just use some delay and reverb to make an "echoey-sweetness" that is very nostalgic. But to really break out of a mold, a guitarist has to find their own sound... no one wants to "play-like-ronald-jones"...

So I guess the Flaming Lips had a Radiohead "Pablo Honey" period...only that period was like a decade or more for them instead of a single record.

Man this is great. This band was kind of my gateway into avant-rock. In the pre-internet days this was pretty heady stuff for a fifteen year-old.

Ronald's guitar sounds were such a trip. Too bad he wasn't really made for life on the stage.
