I'd never seen the Lips before, so it was all fresh to me. I wasn't expecting the sheer over-the-top spectacle of it all: the best-of-breed light show, confetti cannons, giant balloons, giant balloons filled with confetti, giant inflatable animals, lasers, a gong, fog machines, and dancing girls and guys in furry costumes... almost sensory overload. Frankly, I just couldn't believe it. Oh, and the music which was great. Definitely feel like I got my money's worth! I can see how it might get old after a few shows, but I had a smile on my face all night long. I was in the pit, and I was glad to be there. It was so much fun. On a personal note, I recently lost a loved one and I found "Do You Realize?" very touching. The lyrics had new meaning to me.
