The Flaming Lips

In October 1989, The Flaming Lips were riding the wave of their emerging creativity, bolstered by the release of their album "Telepathic Surgery" just a year prior. This period was crucial for the band, marking a transition from their earlier, more raw garage rock sound to the more experimental textures that would characterize their later work. The live recording at The Burro Room showcases an intriguing snapshot of their evolution, as it's not only one of the few performances of "There You Are," but also features rare renditions of "One Shot" and a fun cover of Bo Diddley's "Who Do You.” It’s fascinating to see a band so willing to push boundaries, and this concert reflects their vibrant stage presence and penchant for quirky, offbeat performances. You can almost feel the energy of an eager crowd connecting with the band, caught in that magical moment before they’d go on to become the genre-defying icons they are today.
