SY: Freakin' awesome, although I would've liked a longer set and some stuff off Sonic Nurse and Murray Street. They did the wacky distortion thing between songs, but if any band can get away with that it's Sonic Youth. I also though Kim Gordon sounded better live than on recordings.
Flaming Lips: Ok, now in terms of music I was a bit more jacked for Sonic Youth, not to take anything away from the Lips. But then they started and went right into 'Race for the Prize'; the confetti and ballons started flying and the people started jumping around. It was about as close as one can come to euphoria in such circumstances, and probably the most fun I've ever had at a show.
I meant to bring a camera, so here's the best I could do with my phone.
The famous Wayne Coyne Ball (I TOTALLY TOUCHED IT):

awesome. i have to say that i enjoy both cd's, since we play them quite a bit at work. however, the ambulance driver song is annoying when you're trying to work and all you hear are sirens...
