The Flaming Lips

In August 2006, The Flaming Lips were riding high after the release of their critically acclaimed album, 'At War with the Mystics,' which came out earlier that year. This project marked their leap into a more expansive, experimental sound while balancing their signature psychedelic flair. The Columbus show captures them in a vibrant, energetic stage presence, as they navigate through this dynamic period in their career. An interesting tidbit is that this was a time when the band was embracing theatrical elements in their performances, often integrating confetti, giant balloons, and wild visuals—a reflection of their quirky, larger-than-life aesthetic. The audience at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion likely experienced an unforgettable night filled with euphoric melodies and dazzling visuals that brought their album's intricate layers to life.
