The Flaming Lips headlined the show, and they did not disappoint. The bubble came out (above) and each song had its own dynamics of streamer/confetti blasts, dancers, giant butterfly characters, a gong, and more. The high-energy-use, smoke, and littering made it a memorable Earth Day concert.
The day had many "public service announcement" type speakers, all telling us that we are the Green Generation. One review pointed out that the event felt like a high-school assembly. It did. Lots of backpacks, thrift clothes, and wandering teens.
At one point, Lisa Jackson, EPA Administrator, came to make an announcement. Wayne Cone kept clapping for her with these giant hands, then gave her a giant hug with the hands. I wish I had a picture of that.
