Flaming Lips To Re-do Dark Side Of The Moon At Bonnaroo
By WENNWednesday, February 3, 2010
The FLAMING LIPS will perform PINK FLOYD’s DARK SIDE OF THE MOON album in its entirety at Tennessee’s Bonnaroo festival in June (10).
The group performed its version of the classic album at a New Year’s Eve (31Dec09) show in their native Oklahoma and it has since been released as a digital download.
Frontman Wayne Coyne tells Spinner.com, “We’re gonna do it at Bonnaroo at the midnight slot, the first night. We do a Flaming Lips set, then, starting about 2.30 we do this Dark Side of the Moon thing.
“I don’t think it’ll be that much of a stretch to think Friday night at 2.30 in the morning (sic) at Bonnaroo would be that much different than being in Oklahoma City on New Year’s Eve. I’m sure people will be having their own party while we play this space rock, or whatever. In that sense it’s perfect for that.”
