What's the buzz about the Flaming Lips involvement in this show? I love the Lips and I love the Who, so I can't wait!

Roger Daltrey told Rolling Stone that the Lips are planning to cover a medley of songs from Tommy

Well, now the real question is what Tenacious D will be doing...

I hope it's 'Won't Get Fooled Again". I wanna hear Jack Black do that scream!

I mostly wanna know if Kliph plans on clubbing Dave Grohl within an inch of his life backstage more than anything else.

AWESOME!

VH1 posted the lips full performance:

I actually got nervous for them as right before their set they did a little Tommy retrospective montage featuring The Who back in the day....Somehow I had forgotten how huge Tommy was...

The audience in the 5.1 mix was very loud in the beginning for wayne's clear pinball walk over the audience, so much it drowned out steven & co. for a few moments..

Wayne did an unusually great job of remaining standing during the clear pinball run

Steven's hair looked terrific!

Nice tshirt change up, and homage by Kliph......

Wayne needs to have something in his hands at all times.......he resisted bringing the acoustic onstage, instead he clutched that shaman gong stick thing the entire time...not that I have issue with it, I just think it's funny now that I think about it, he is always doing something during a show....he needs to stay busy I guess.....I bet he has restless hand syndrome

I detected no backing tracks? I thought Steven did a great job on backing vocals, and of course keys and guitar, especially loved the last 45 seconds of the performance...
I could get used to this kind of performance from them.....some lights, no confetti, no back tracks.....hmmmm

I liked the Kliphord drum kit wreck> Steven collapse ending....when in Hollywood......
