Am I the only one that likes the way they play the song live better than the album version? The barrage of noise and the pounding drums on the chorus is just so much more powerful, dynamic, and emotional. I love the album but I feel like this song missed its full potential by not sounding like this on the album. I remember them playing it last year at a show and it was just so fucking amazing. I wouldn't mind if they released a studio version of the song like this one.
Heavy in a floating kind of way … A delicate Butterfly drifting on the wind through liquid Pb (lead) rain … You guys are always in my top 10!! thanks for all the years of great stuff through all the heavy stuff … oh … ok. I think i get it. Wow, what a Soft Bulletin
I can agree. But I absolutely love The Terror. Yoshimi and The Soft Bulletin simply had a much more light hearted and cheerful tone that I would like to hear once more. Either way they're still a great band, and I'm sure no matter what path they take it will continue to be amazing.
This album makes me cry from happiness...saw them on the day of the dead(Nov.1) at santa barbara with tame impala. Compared to the full band of shpongle or Animal Collective, these guys did just as good or better. Coyne for president!
Kamp's is an old family grocery store turned into a club, right up the street from me in OKC, and less than a mile from where we both went to school. It's a magical neighborhood tucked in an unlikely state.
Lets not forget that Yoshimi vs the Pink Robots were Steve's final days on DOPE. in the book "Sight of Sound" Steven talks about being sick(kickin) on the couch in the studio and forcing himself to get up and record his parts … for a guy playing drums, writing the tunes, finding melodies and harmonies inside the cracks that INCREDIBLY, as he himself is cracking - I just can't imagine, yet I know some of my closest friends wrote and recorded their best records and songs while in the pit of junk
Ever hear the old myth about Dark Side Of Moon as a secondary sndtrk to Wizard of Oz. If you sync The Terror with Muppet Show The Movie, you get the same affect.
Awesome, I would have liked to see this live. I watched Kamps turn from an old family grocery (opened in 1921, or somewhere there about) into an Asian grocery, into a coffeehouse, then into a hip hop club. Only in OKC. :)
Personally, I find this version better than the album version. On the record, "Be Free, Away" and "Try to Explain" kind of just blend together as just two spacey, synth pad heavy songs between Look...The Sun is Rising and You Lust. Here, the added overall oomph to the chorus makes it far more dynamic and even a little cathartic.
I have a song that I have been looking for. The story is bout a guy waking up, or maybe finding himself in hell.whennhe asks the ? SOMETHING answers with loud flames?? Please help me i.d. this masterpiece.2009 or earlier if I'm thinking correct ly
Man I miss this era of the Lips, before Wayne went ape and started doing his crap like kicking Dzrod out of the band, teaming up with Miley, and all the egotistical and glorifying hard drug crap. Back when they were about killing your ego, having fun with friends, loving eachother, and "we had our fun with the drugs when we were kids, now we've grown to learn that we don't need them anymore."
The Terror is fantastic... I don't want Yoshimi or Soft Bulletin 2. The Soft Bulletin was the amazing album that it was because of what a huge departure it was from the previous Lips albums... that's what makes the Flaming Lips the amazing band that it is. Not to mention, the Terror sounds fantastic and is incredible live.
do you suppose he's hit some kind of age crisis? I've seen other people write about wayne being on some spiral downward with egoism and despair. I dunno, haven't got the LP yet - VERY SOON!!!
Yes Wayne. Please try to explain why you felt the need to sack Kliph after 12 years with the band? Because us fans (or in my case, former fan) really wanna know the logic behind that.
adamania Apparently Wayne (and apparently the rest of the band) wants to just dive head first into Asshole-ville, while Kliph really had no interest in doing half-cocked covers albums and collaborations with Ke$ha and Miley Cyrus. I don't blame him, that stuff is really, really terrible, and if the Flaming Lips really just wanna keep making that endless barrage of shitty music instead of making the truly heartfelt stuff that they're known for (and, for the record, I loved the The Terror), then fuck 'em.
Oh come on.....both those albums are very good, but neither is their best, and they were over halfway through their career when they came out!! The Terror is amazing and I actually prefer it to Yoshimi
This song is wonderful, the whole "Terror" is amazing!

Connor Bowen Klyph’s drumming is what makes this version so much better than the album version... for me, anyway. :)
They need to produce a live album version of terror! every song sounds so much more powerful with actual instruments!
one of my favorite albums of all time, truly spectacular
Yes.
considering your display picture is Lonerism, I think I may consider getting this album now.
This song is so powerful and emotional. Love the live version and this amazing video of incredible visuals. Love you Flaming Lips!!!
i saw this concert on TV, they were very good! the guitarist played a double neck guitar with only one neck
Oh hell how I love this!!!! I love the Flamings Lips when they drop silly and go for dark. What I've heard from this album is making me very happy.
Cathartic indeed! loved this live come back to Philly!!

almost cried...
This would be a fantastic concert to attend

This song always makes me sad
The most wonderful sad imaginable, really.

FANTASTIC SOUND AND VIDEO AND CROWD!!
I could listen to it for hours.

Not an easy song to relate to immediately. A few listens have made it work for me! 🙂

they did at Freak Night in October
Wonderful
I agree completely.
Good place to be it looks like
Yeah, I was there the evening they shot this.
Everyone loves the Parachute Game from school.
Excelente
dope.
I might actually try that :D
I think he was in pain from holding up that parachute for 5 minutes.
surely ;)

try it, man. try it.
I think i will
that is live. in germany
Everyone keeps saying this - WTF? I thought it was already too heavy for Superman to lift … Hmm. maybe a break is in order.
Lain and I were there. :)
I think this album is wonderful. It is bleak but there's so much beauty in it
its in waynes basement, not germany
Kamp's Lounge, which sounds like it could be german.
Yes Wayne. Please try to explain why you felt the need to sack Kliph after 12 years with the band? Because us fans (or in my case, former fan) really wanna know the logic behind that.

Mike maniax The Terror was indeed sincerely amazing...awesome. A very personal album for me, too.
A great song, but Wayne and Steven are looking so tired in this. I am going to see them Monday night in Indianapolis.
There isn't a song on this album that doesn't make me want to kill myself.
I hate knowing Wayne is so depressed.
That's not in germany.
Is that true or are you just kidding?
wayne coyne is loosing it. depressing
Oh come on.....both those albums are very good, but neither is their best, and they were over halfway through their career when they came out!! The Terror is amazing and I actually prefer it to Yoshimi
April 29th here I come.
