Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne and some of the band’s crew talk about rebuilding the video screen that was blown over and demolished during a freak storm earlier this month at the inaugural Brady Block Party in Tulsa.
After the crowd and musicians endured triple-digit temperatures most of the afternoon, heavy winds and rain pushed through downtown Tulsa, toppling the video screen, damaging a lot of their equipment and scrapping the rest of the festivities. However, no injuries were reported.
As Coyne points out in the video, equipment can be rebuilt or replaced, and the Lips’ Tulsa incident can’t compare to the tragedy that happened Saturday at the Sugarland concert at the Indiana State Fair.
The Associated Press reports that a sixth person – Jennifer Haskell, a 22-year-old Ball State University senior – died today of injuries sustained in the Indiana catastrophe. Our thoughts and prayers are with those in Indiana who have lost loved ones, as well as with folks in Belgium affected by the storm that tore through the Pukkelpop outdoor rock festival Thursday evening, killing five people and injuring 140 others.
Earlier this week, Coyne posted on Twitter (@waynecoyne), “Still workin on the make-up show for the rained out Tulsa show!!! Almost there!!!”
