Also, both played complete albums live this month (on July 13-14th, Weezer are playing two shows in Tokyo, Japan featuring the entire “Blue Album” the first night and Pinkerton on the second on July 7-8th The Flaming Lips played The Soft Bulletin at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom, and on July 10th they covered Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon at Dave Matthews’ Caravan Chicago). Weezer may take a stab at playing a Lips song, or vice versa. Collaborative covers are a logical possibility – MGMT’s “Kids” for example (also produced by Fridmann), which both bands have covered at past shows. There’s been no indication what Weezer or the Lips will play, though Pinkerton songs would be apt (most likely “El Scorcho”, “Pink Triangle”, “Across the Sea”, “The Good Life” or “Tired of Sex”).

Join in and jam? Whatever happens, the rapport between the two bands should be interesting to see unfold (Weezer are long-time Flaming Lips fans read more about Weezer hiring Lips producer Dave Fridmann to sound more like the Lips here, hear Dave discuss his work on Pinkerton here).

The entrance involves members appearing on stage through the Lips’ giant video screen as it projects images of rainbows and people kissing, followed by Wayne surfing the crowd in a space bubble as Rivers does the same in an inflatable raft. It seems it will be much more than that though as pictures and videos tweeted by Wayne Coyne of his plans for a special dual-band intro have ticket-holders psyched. Since neither band has played a concert like this before, it will almost certainly be unique – even if only for awkward moments, unprepared transitions and the zig-zag, two-ring circus “flow” of the concert. According to a July 11th press release, “Weezer and the Flaming Lips will trade off songs back and forth for the entire length of each concert, allowing them to take turns playing a few songs each in one big exciting set… This will be a first for both bands as they will take the stage together and trade off songs.” WeezerLips Extravaganza is tomorrow night at New Jersey’s PNC Bank Arts Center and Friday at Long Island’s Jones Beach.
