The Flaming Lips brought their summer tour with Modest Mouse to Raleigh's Red Hat Amphitheater on Saturday night. It was an unseasonably cool night and the crowd was ready for some rock 'n' roll weirdness and Wayne Coyne and crew were more than happy to oblige.

If you've never been to a Flaming Lips concert, it can be a little difficult to fathom why diehard fans – me included – lavish Wayne Coyne and his intrepid band of musicians with such praise.
