This is another #ShirtOnSunday post inspired by 
I have been to lots of gigs, but do not always buy a shirt. One where I did was when I saw the wonderful Flaming Lips on their At War with the Mystics tour. I got into them when I saw them doing songs from The Soft Bulletin on Later. They have been around for a long time.
The ticket is in one of our many click frames up the stairs.
I went with my other half who comes along to a lot of gigs with me without really hearing much of the band. I think she knew some of their songs from the radio. At the time I was having some training at work and a guy had come over from Israel to do that. We were chatting and it turned out he had a ticket for the same gig.
The shirt is a bit of cheat as it is from a previous tour. I just happened to like it when I saw what was on offer. I am not even sure if the writing at the top is anything real.
The back does contain a small obscenity.
The support was Midlake. They were good, but all I have by them is the one track CD that someone was handing out as we waited to get in.
The Lips always put on a show. Their crew were wearing superhero outfits and there was a crowd of people on stage. As they started the confetti cannons went off and big balloons were released. This video is from that tour and looks familiar with the mic-mounted camera and Wayne's puppet friend.
I seem to remember some political rants too. I think they must have been about George W. Bush who was idiot in chief at the time.
I have not been to any of their gigs since, but I would consider it. I've seen them do even more spectacular stuff at recent festival gigs in TV.
Why not join in with #ShirtOnSunday. You can do whatever you want with it really.
Rock on!
