The Flaming Lips - Live at The Rave in Milwaukee, WI - How Will We Know?
In October 2000, The Flaming Lips were basking in the glow of their critically acclaimed album, "The Soft Bulletin," which had come out just a year earlier, in 1999. This masterpiece marked a significant evolution in their sound, blending orchestral elements with their signature psychedelic flair. By the time they played at The Rave in Milwaukee, the band was riding high on the wave of success, showcasing their bold experimentation and unique stage presence. Notably, this live performance featured one of the rare instances of the song “How Will We Know?”—a gem that only graced a handful of setlists, making this concert a special treat for fans. The show was recorded by Nightclub Dwight and Corporate Pawn, highlighting the grassroots appreciation for their dynamic live shows. It’s no wonder that even nearly two decades later, the performance resonates with fans, reflecting their adventurous spirit and willingness to push musical boundaries.
