Illuminated drone shows are the new laser light shows, at least judging by this video, which captures a performance by Intel drones set to the music of popular jam band Phish.

Intel confirmed to Mashable that the performance features 500 Intel Shooting Star drones, purposely made for these sorts of light shows. The drones are capable of 4 billion color combinations, and fly in various formations that were in response to Phish's song "More," from their 2016 album Big Boat.

I'm not saying some weed edibles would really make that heart formation during the line "I'm vibrating with love and light / Pulsating with love and light" even more beautiful, but I'm not NOT saying it, either.

The big to-do happened Monday night at Intel's Capital Global Summit in Phoenix, Arizona and was just the latest iteration of an annual tradition; you can watch 2018's drone show here. Intel has also brought these drone spectaculars to events like the Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics.
