Man o' man ... what a difference from last year! I've seen the Lips twice now, both times at Red Rocks, and yesterday was such a different experience than '06. Don't know if it was the fact that this year I was first row center compared to 15th row last year, or if it had something to do with most of the people there being Lips fans instead of Ween'ers, but whatever the reason, I had an amazing time!

And for the first time in my life, I wept at a concert. I mean how can you not be touched by a live performance of "Realize", under the open sky of Red Rocks. Can any concert-going expereince even come close to touching this?

I don't put much stock in the meta-physical, but the only adjective that I can find to describe a show like this is "transcendent". Thanks galore to the band, the Monolith organizers, and all the new Lip'sters friends that I made over that incredible day.

Peace.
