The Flaming Lips

In December 2009, The Flaming Lips performed 'Race For The Prize' in their hometown of Norman, Oklahoma, during a potent time in their career. This performance came just two years after the release of their critically acclaimed album 'At War with the Mystics', which showcased the band's unique blend of alternative rock and psychedelic influences. Known for their elaborate live shows filled with confetti and balloons, the band had firmly established their reputation for creating an immersive concert experience. Interestingly, 'Race For The Prize' was initially released on the 1999 album 'The Soft Bulletin', and it has become one of their signature tracks, often celebrated for its themes of unity and human struggle. The energetic vibe of the live recording captures the infectious spirit of their performances, exemplifying how The Flaming Lips continuously reinvent live music.
