On Friday (Jan. 22), the Lips successfully pulled their first official "Space Bubble" concert at the Criterion theater in the rock band's native Oklahoma City.
The clever idea for the socially distanced concert stemmed from the famous clear orb Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne has used for years to roll across crowds during the band's festive concerts.
The Lips did a test run for the "Space Bubble" concert at the Criterion last October
