The Flaming Lips

In May 1996, The Flaming Lips were at a fascinating crossroads in their career, shortly after the release of their acclaimed album *Clouds Taste Metallic*, which had come out the previous year. This period marked a time of experimentation and creative growth for the band, blending psychedelic rock with their distinct avant-garde flair. Following this live recording at Slim's in San Francisco, they would delve even deeper into their sound with future projects like *The Soft Bulletin*. Interestingly, this particular performance holds a notable place in their history as it featured the last known performance of the song "E." It's moments like this that highlight The Flaming Lips' ever-evolving artistry, making their live shows not just concerts but unique experiences for their dedicated fans. Can you imagine being there, witnessing a piece of their legacy fade away? It’s these ephemeral moments that truly connect us to the music and the artists we love.
