The Soft Bulletin Recorded Live at Red Rocks With the Colorado Symphony Orchestra
The Flaming Lips
- 2 x LP
On May 26, 2016, THE FLAMING LIPS performed their universally acclaimed 1999 Warner Records album The Soft Bulletin in its entirety with the Colorado Symphony at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. This particular event has been regarded by those in attendance as one of the most awe-inspiring, moving and magical moments of a lifetime. For the LIPS and their fans, perhaps the apex of a magnificent interpretation that will remain as rewarding and emotionally charged as it was that night in 2016.
The Flaming Lips (Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins, Derek Brown, Jake Ingalls, Matt Kirksey and Nicholas Ley) were accompanied by a 69-piece orchestra and 56-strong chorus. The performance was conducted by the internationally celebrated conductor Andre de Ridder (s t a r g a z e ).
