The Flaming Lips

In December 1991, when The Flaming Lips performed at The Tiger's Den in Noble, Oklahoma, they were on the cusp of a significant transition. Just before this live recording, the band had released "In a Priest Driven Ambulance" in 1990, which showcased their evolving sound and a deeper dive into psychedelic music. The 1991 performance marks a notable moment in their history; it was not only one of the first shows featuring Steven Drozd—a pivotal member who would help redefine their sound—but it was also part of a unique lineup that included Wayne Coyne, Michael Ivins, and Jon Mooneyham. It's interesting to note that this specific show, described as the only one for the Wayne-Michael-Steven-Jon configuration, hinted at a period of exploration and experimentation as they established their identity in the alternative rock scene. The energy of this live performance, captured during a critical juncture, is palpable and reflects the innovative spirit that The Flaming Lips would come to be known for.
