Flaming Lips and Modest Mouse honor Ozzy in Minneapolis

Coyne and Brock playfully acted out some of the lyrics during the song's instrumental parts, wrestling for a bit and pretending to go to war with each other. At one point Coyne even turned his silver wizard whip made up of streamers on Brock, who had spent the prior few songs watching the Lips from the security pit in front of the stage with his two delighted-looking school-age daughters.

As usual, Coyne and his Oklahoman acid-punk band put on a dizzyingly colorful performance that looked like something out of the kids' TV show "Yo Gabba Gabba." They blew up towering, inflatable pink robots right at the start of their 80-minute set for "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Pts. 1 and 2" and then proceeded to blow off an arsenal of confetti in the third song, "Turn it On." Later, dancers in eyeball costumes joined them during "The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song."
