The Firebird Suite
"The Firebird Suite: Finale" was composed by Igor Stravinsky for his 1910 ballet, The Firebird. In addition to the ballet score, there are three major versions of the music that Stravinsky arranged for concert performance. The version that the Lips have covered as a coda to "Vein Of Stars" and used as their PA intro is from the famous 1919 Suite, also known as "Concert Suite For Orchestra No. 2." The specific version the Lips use is conducted by Erich Leinsdorf and can be purchased at Amazon.

Live
The Lips have covered a portion of Igor Stravinsky's "The Firebird Suite: Finale" as a live coda to "Vein Of Stars" since late summer 2006. It is often accompanied by a darkened stage and green lasers shooting out from behind the band. In addition, another part of the "Finale" has served as their prerecorded PA stage introduction from 2006 to the present.
