The Flaming Lips Live at Del Mar Racetrack Performing Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots and Other Hits
In July 2006, The Flaming Lips delivered a mesmerizing performance at the Del Mar Fairgrounds during their Mystic Headspace Summer Tour. Just before this live recording, the band had released 'At War with the Mystics' in 2006, an album that showcased their unique blend of psychedelic rock and experimental sounds, continuing their ascent in the alt-rock scene. Interestingly, the tour featured tracks from this album alongside classics like 'She Don't Use Jelly,' creating a lively atmosphere that captured the imagination of their fanbase. By this time, the band was firmly established as a live powerhouse, known for their theatrical performances and eccentric stage presence, which contributed to a deeper connection with the audience during this unforgettable night.
