The Flaming Lips

At the time of their live recording on August 30, 2003, The Flaming Lips were basking in the success of their critically praised album "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots," which had released just the year prior. This innovative record solidified their status in the indie rock scene and introduced a broader audience to their whimsical, eclectic sound. During the performance at the Snow Ridge Ski Area in Turin, New York, they not only delivered their signature sonic brilliance but also treated fans to a fun collaboration with Al Schnier and Chuck Garvey of moe., who joined them in playful costumes for cover versions of Pink Floyd's "Breathe" and "Us and Them." This unique blend of high-energy performance and surreal aesthetics is a hallmark of The Flaming Lips, embodying their ethos of creativity and experimentation. It's a reminder of how live music can take on a magical life of its own.
