The Flaming Lips

During the live performance at the Nautica Stage in Cleveland on May 15, 1994, The Flaming Lips were riding high on the wave of their transition to alternative rock success. Just a year prior, they released *Transmissions from the Satellite Heart*, an album that included the iconic "She Don't Use Jelly," which catapulted them into the mainstream. This era showcased their experimental, psychedelic sound, and the band was still honing their signature style, blending surreal imagery with heartfelt lyrics. At this concert, they played "Slow Nerve Action," marking one of only four live performances of this track. The collaboration with Tool, a heavyweight in the alt-metal scene, added an interesting layer to the event, highlighting The Flaming Lips' diverse appeal. It’s fascinating to think about how this performance occurred just before they would release *The Soft Bulletin*, an album that would further cement their legacy and influence in the music world. What a time that must have been!
