I'll take Ronald over Derek or Jake any day of the week. Those lads are okay but during some songs when they were the only guitarists, it's interesting because Jake would be thrashing at his Jaguar like crazy but barely anything was coming out. Made me think they're at least very buried in the mix to fill out sound.
It seems like Ronald’s family has said not to press the issue anymore as well, maybe suggesting he has a mental health condition. I always assumed he may have been under some contractual obligation and hence why he never did a solo thing or new band. I would love to hear a raw session of his. Sadly it may never happen

Matt Hilgers Yes! This was the last time they played it before Ronald’s departure and it’s really the ultimate version. It was a pretty good song on Priest but Ronald took it to another level over the years. I like watching them continue to add bits to this song between 92 to 96.
Love this. I was there, and it is one of the most memorable concerts ever. It really defined (at least) the next decade for many of us. Thank you for uploading.
Espen Daniel Hagen Olsen Wow, that must have been quite the experience! Out of curiosity, I noticed there were seemingly camera men filming the show from the side stage. Do you remember if they were being displayed on any big screens or were there filming for TV? If you know anything about any higher quality coverage of this please let me know!
Steven looking up to Michael in the first couple minutes was so sweet and uplifting 😊. Steven looked up to Michael and Wayne in the late 80s and early 90s and fate brought them together as one great American psychedelic rock band!!! The greatest of all time!!! In my humble opinion.
this video shows him using three amplifiers. these are rented backline and have the stock Roland speakers. You can see the EVM12L's in this other video at 23:25 ua-cam.com/video/VmeiXg2AxJw/v-deo.html
they are EVM12L series II specifically: reverb.com/item/3285233-vintage-1985-electro-voice-evm-12l-series-ii-speaker-8-ohms-200-watts compare that photo to that frame of the video
@@magnusledman6816 How come they had a headline slot? I saw them at the Phoenix Festival (UK) the same year and I seem to remember it was so early I'd only just finished my breakfast!
@SofaKing - There is a 45min set video where they are added last minute to a SubPop showcase where the camera is directly in front of Ronald and, the sound is excellent I have it on my laptop...I see if I can find it online and, if I can I will post the link here Its 1995 I think No light show is the only bummer
@@tastyslopsicle2162 also did you know The Lips shot a 2014-2015 documentary about Clouds Taste Metallic where they did a 2 and a half hour show at First Avenue and actually DID AN INTERVIEW WITH RONALD JONES?!?!!? but due to certain things, mainly concerns for how he'll look in the film and people bothering him again, Wayne is unsure of what to do. Just info from one interview though
Lonn Phillips yes. I asked them about it at a show in 2016 and they said they were still trying to get in touch with Ronald Jones. As far as I know they never filmed Ronald, but if they did that’s awesome and I hope it sees the light of day. There’s something of a Ronald renaissance happening with more and more people coming out of the woodwork saying how much they love his guitar work. I’m a guitar player myself and he’s hands down my number 1 inspiration. My life goal is to be able to play every lips song of this era like he can. I’ll never be able to do it just like him, but I can get close. I’m usually not into tribute bands but to me this era of the lips is so special and deserves remembrance and I’d join a tribute band in a heart beat.
@@tastyslopsicle2162 let's do one! I play guitar too and have loved his guitar tone, his effects and the mind-blowing ways his fingers are generating 98% of the tone, even with pedals on. Steven paid so much attention to his pedal setup so he can try to reenact his crazy ring modulating / delay-ridden slides on the intro to Psychiatric Explorations or whatever they're looking for to do from that era. Really wish I was taken to a Lips show at the age of 5 in 1995 to see them play. So many children are being taken to Lips shows right now & i'm jealous, wish my parents had done that in the mid 90s!!! I would love to do a tribute band. I can also play drums (I've got a Steveny-Bonhamy-Kliph type big sound), keyboards & bass
Cloud Taste Metallic is still their best album.
So uplifting and catchy and crooked.
I miss Drozd being a fulltime drummer.
He’s so awesome.
Ronald is also key to the “Clouds…” equation. I hope he’s well, wherever he is.
You're in my head, man! Drozd was the best Lips drummer & Jones was the best guitarist, IMO.👍☕
bring Ronald back

Wayne has reached out to Ronald several times, and unfortunately he is still not interested rejoining the band..

Baba O'Riley....even in 1996 Ivins was laying down that fierce bass line for The Who classics. Man.....I miss what he brought to the Lips.

MisterJawaman thanks for the timestamps! Have you made any more changes to your R. Jones Jaguar?
I'd like to believe that somewhere there exists a thoroughly baffling Heaven that is comprised entirely of longer and longer versions of Mountainside.
Matt Hilgers Yes! This was the last time they played it before Ronald’s departure and it’s really the ultimate version. It was a pretty good song on Priest but Ronald took it to another level over the years. I like watching them continue to add bits to this song between 92 to 96.
@@tastyslopsicle2162 my thoughts exactly. Ronald is the guitar god.
In 1996 this was a true feat to pull off Baba O'Riley. How did Ronald do it because you know he figured it out
Love this. I was there, and it is one of the most memorable concerts ever. It really defined (at least) the next decade for many of us. Thank you for uploading.
oh my gawd i wish i could see Moth In The Incubator live, or Unconsciously Screamin
For me, it’s 1,000,000 billionth of a millisecond on a Sunday morning…
I was there and that is where I discovered The Flaming Lips. An amazing show.

I like that I can't hear anything but the bass lol
i was there :)
The live version of Take Meta Mars reminds me of the West German band Can.
That’s because the song came out of a botched attempt to cover Can’s “Mushroom”
Thanks Pal for this.
58:05 became the Lips i.m.o esp latter day soft Bulletin...etc .gr8 couple a minutes there
Anyone have a soundboard recording of this show?
im also looking for this
came here from the equipboard, how do you know which speakers were in the jc-120s?

TastySlopsicle thanks
I'm a bit confused about how the Lips seem to be headlining here. Is this the main stage?
Yes! Its the mainstage. I was there😀
@@magnusledman6816 How come they had a headline slot? I saw them at the Phoenix Festival (UK) the same year and I seem to remember it was so early I'd only just finished my breakfast!
This is great but why can't I find a video that shows what the heck Ronald is doing? I smell a cover up

whats that song Ronald is singing in the mic?
Lonn Phillips The Post War Dream by Pink Floyd
@@tastyslopsicle2162 you're the best holy shit how could you even tell what was being sung?!??!! hahha

Blest.
I think Wayne is the definition of "pitchy", lol. Great voice tho
No quiero creer que Steven pesaba más que Ronald; me haría odiar a Wayne...
