    Long time ago, like 1993. I had a great opportunity to see them in Denver, but I had to travel for work. :( But I did get to see A Perfect Circle in a very intimate setting when I lived in Denver in 2003.


    Oh wow! The early days! You should catch a show if they come through your area...the songs off Lateralus were amazing to see live! I saw APC in Charlotte May 2004 Cricket Arena...medium size venue. The sound sucked there and it wasn't even close to being on the same level as tonight's show...but I've always prefered Tool to APC. :)

    I missed my opportunity here too ;(. I love both APC and Tool! The venue I saw APC in was a small club. The acoustics were not too good, but it was so cool to see them in such a intimate setting. I would love to have heard the Lateralus songs.

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
    And the feeling is 'laid back'
    Palm trees grow, and rents are low
    But you know I keep thinkin' about
    Making my way back

    Well, I'm New York City born and raised
    But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
    L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
    New York's home, but it ain't mine no more

    "I am," I said
    To no one there
    And no one heard at all
    Not even the chair
    "I am," I cried
    "I am," said I
    And I am lost, and I can't even say why
    Leavin' me lonely still

    Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king
    And then became one
    Well except for the names and a few other changes
    If you talk about me, the story's the same one

    But I've got an emptiness deep inside
    And I've tried, but it won't let me go
    And I'm not a man who likes to swear
    But I never cared for the sound of being alone

    "I am," I said
    To no one there
    And no one heard at all
    Not even the chair
    "I am," I cried
    "I am," said I
    And I am lost, and I can't even say why
    Leavin' me lonely still
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    i don't mind stealing bread
    from the mouths of decadence
    but i can't feed on the powerless
    when my cup's already overfilled
    but it's on the table
    the fire's cooking
    and they're farming babies
    while the slaves are all working
    the blood is on the table
    and their mouths are choking
    but i'm growing hungry
    i don't mind stealing bread
    from the mouths of decadence
    but i can't feed on the powerless
    when my cup's already overfilled
    but it's on the table
    the fire's cooking
    and they're farming babies
    while the slaves are all working
    and it's on the table
    the mouths are choking
    but i'm growing hungry
    i'm going hungry...
    i don't mind stealing bread
    no, i don't mind stealing bread
    i'm going hungry...
    i'm going hungry...
    Driving in my car, smoking a cigar. The only time I'm happy is when I play my guitar.

    I missed that APC show here. I saw Tool here in Charlotte shortly after Lateralus came out....they played at the Ampitheatre here. Not the same as an indoor show but damn it was still freakin great.

    How many times have you seen them Jeanie?


    glad you enjoyed the show. pretty intense isnt it. i have only seen them once at lolla in the 90's when they headlined. maynard was dressed in a bra and panties and absolutely destroyed the place.

    i think i am going to see them in reading, pa in a few weeks. it seats like 4,000. i saw pj there for the VFC and i thought the place was going to collapse. about the same sze as the civic center in ashville

    Cranberries - Zombie

    Another head hangs lowly,
    Child is slowly taken.
    And the violence caused such silence,
    Who are we mistaken?

    But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
    In your head, in your head they are fighting,
    With their tanks and their bombs,
    And their bombs and their guns.
    In your head, in your head, they are crying...

    In your head, in your head,
    Zombie, zombie, zombie,
    Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
    In your head,
    Zombie, zombie, zombie?
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

    Another mother's breakin',
    Heart is taking over.
    When the vi'lence causes silence,
    We must be mistaken.

    It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
    In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
    With their tanks and their bombs,
    And their bombs and their guns.
    In your head, in your head, they are dying...

    In your head, in your head,
    Zombie, zombie, zombie,
    Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
    In your head,
    Zombie, zombie, zombie?
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...

    The Flaming Lips ~ The Sound Of Failure / It's Dark... Is It Always This Dark??


    She's starting to live her life
    From the inside out
    The sound of failure calls her name
    She's decided to hear it out

    So go tell Britney and go tell Gwen
    She's not tryin' to go against all them
    'Cause she's too scared and she can't pretend
    To understand where it begins or ends
    Or what it means to be dead
    It's just a sound going through your head
    Let them go on

    Standing there in the graveyard
    While the moon sprays its fireworks in your hair
    The sound of failure calls her name
    She's decided to hear it out

    So go tell Britney and go tell Gwen
    She's not tryin' to go against all them
    'Cause she's too scared and she can't pretend
    To understand where it begins or ends
    Or what it means to be dead
    It's just a sound going through your head
    Let them go on
    Where it begins or ends
    Or what it's like to be dead
    It's just a sound going through your head
    Let it go on
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    Gimme Some Truth - John Lennon

    Im sick and tired of hearing things
    From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
    All I want is the truth
    Just gimme some truth
    Ive had enough of reading things
    By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
    All I want is the truth
    Just gimme some truth

    With just a pocketful of hope
    Money for dope
    Money for rope

    No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
    Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
    With just a pocketful of soap
    Money for dope

    Im sick to death of seeing things
    From tight-lipped, condescending, mamas little chauvinists
    All I want is the truth
    Just gimme some truth now

    Ive had enough of watching scenes
    Of schizophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima-donnas
    All I want is the truth now
    Just gimme some truth

    No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
    Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
    With just a pocketful of soap

    Ah, Im sick and tired of hearing things
    From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
    All I want is the truth now

    (from the Trust dvd which is amazing)


    cradling the softest, warmest part of you in my hand
    feels like a little baby bird fallen from the nest
    i think that your body is something i understand
    i think that i'm happy, i think that i'm blessed

    i've got a lack of inhibition
    i've got a loss of perspective
    i've had a little bit to drink
    and it's making me think
    that i can jump ship and swim
    that the ocean will hold me
    that there's got to be more
    than this boat i'm in

    'cuz they can call me crazy if i fail
    all the chance that i need
    is one-in-a-million
    and they can call me brilliant
    if i succeed
    gravity is nothing to me, moving at the speed of sound
    i'm just going to get my feet wet
    until i drown

    and i teeter between tired
    and really, really tired
    im wiped and im wired but i guess its just as well
    because i built my own empire
    out of car tires and chicken wire
    and i'm queen of my own compost heap
    and i'm getting used to the smell

    and i've got a lack of information
    but i got a little revelation
    and i'm climbing up on the railing
    trying not to look down
    i'm going to do my best swan dive
    into shark-infested waters
    i'm gonna pull out my tampon
    and start splashing around

    'cuz i don't care if they eat me alive
    i've got better things to do than survive
    i've got a memory of your warm skin in my hand
    and i've got a vision of blue sky and dry land

    i'm cradling the hardest, heaviest part of me in my hand
    the ship is pitching and heaving, my limbs are bobbing and weaving
    and i think this is something i understand
    i just need a couple vaccinations for my far-away vacation
    i'm going to go ahead and go boldly because a little bird told me
    that jumping is easy, that falling is fun
    up until you hit the sidewalk, shivering and stunned

    and they can call me crazy if i fail
    all the chance that i need
    is one-in-a-million
    and they can call me brilliant
    if i succeed
    gravity is nothing to me
    moving at the speed of sound
    i'm just gonna get my feet wet
    until i drown...

    Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. Period.

    But their newest...At War with the Mystics ...has some socio/politicial elements to it and it is amazing as well. Soft Bulletin is also fantastic...some really authentic flaming lips classics on it. Hope that helps.

    Here one from their new album. I'll think you'll dig it. ;)

    The W.A.N.D. (The Will Always Negates Defeat)


    You've got the power in there
    Waving your wand in the air

    Time after time those fanatical minds try to rule all the world
    Telling us all it's them who's in charge of it all
    I've got a tricked out magic stick that will make them all fall
    We've got the power now, motherfuckers; that's where it belongs

    You've got that right
    (Power in there)
    You know that it's...
    (Wand in the air)

    They've got their weapons to solve all their questions, they don't know what it's for
    (Cause they don't know what it's for)
    Why can't they see it's not power, just greed, to just want more and more?
    (Just want more and more)
    I got a plan and it's here in my hand but it's all made of rights
    We're the enforcers, the sorcerer's orphans, and we know why we fight
    (And we know why we fight)

    You've got that right
    (You've got the power in there)
    (Waving your wand in the air)

    (You've got the power in there)
    (You've got the power in there)
    (You've got the power in there)
    (Waving your wand in the air)

    You've got that right
    You know that it's...

    Isn't it funny how you never really screamed at my face,
    but your anger so unspoken and unchannelled
    permeates my essence to the point where I,
    Don't want to see you hear you, be anywhere near you,
    you probably think I'm threatened by you
    but your illusionary power doesn't threaten me,
    Actually I think it's kind of funny that you create an illusion that is a mirror,
    I don't appreciate you and I know that that surprises you
    I suppose you see that those who follow their heart always win,
    those with integrity have won the match before it's begun
    So rather than being kicked around, I'm going to kick you to the curb
    So rather than being pushed around, I'm going to push you away first
    So rather than trying to protect you, I'm going to cover my bases first
    So rather than trying to open my heart, I'm going to lock it with a key
    So that only the special ones, can ever get through to me
    Some can see beyond the barrier of threshold whereas others can't see beyond their sculptured mould,
    you could offer me nothing, you could offer me nothing that I need
    Do you think I'm asking too much?
    A kind of respect and trust that shouldn't even be questioned,
    how can I open my heart with dishonesty sitting next to me?
    I've honoured your honour to the point of embarrassment,
    but innocence in the hands of the guilt-free is kicked to, is kicked to the curb
    I was ashamed of my innocence,
    I was ashamed of my innocence but now with clarity I see that your bullshit is just not worthy of me
    So rather than being kicked around, I'm going to kick you to the curb
    So rather than being pushed around, I'm going to push you away first
    So rather than trying to protect you, I'm going to cover my bases first
    So rather than trying to open my heart, I'm going to lock it with a key
    So that only the special ones, can ever get through to me

    I don't want to be angry.
    I don't want to be angry.
    I don't want to be angry.
    I don't want to be angry, angry, angry.
    This is not worthy of me
    and now with clarity I see
    that I can walk away,
    I can walk away

    So rather than being kicked around, I'm going to kick you to the curb
    So rather than being pushed around, I'm going to push you away first
    So rather than trying to protect you, I'm going to cover my bases first
    So rather than trying to open my heart, I'm going to lock it with a key
    So that only the special ones, so that only the special ones, can ever get through to me.
