Flaming Lips 2010 NYE Time Lapse from George Salisbury on Vimeo.

George Salisbury, visual guru for the Flaming Lips, assembled this awesome time-lapse video of the New Year’s Freakout #3 setup and show.

Is it as good as actually attending this annual sonic and visual extravaganza? Of course not. And if you missed the 2009-10 show and you’re a music fan – particularly one who lives in Oklahoma, because this edition drew fans from across the country – I want you to make a solemn promise that you will try very, very hard to make the 2010-11 Freakout. That’s all I ask.

To encourage you to make the right choice, I’m posting below several photos of the Freakout taken by The Oklahoman’s talented photographer Bryan Terry. Look how much fun you could be having, people:

Lips frontman Wayne Coyne rides his giant bubble through the crowd at the start of the Lips’ set. What was once a Flaming Lips tradition is now an Oklahoma City NYE tradition.
