The Flaming Lips

In 2003, The Flaming Lips were riding high off their celebrated album 'Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots', which had been released just the year prior. This was a period of immense creativity and popularity for the band, as they embraced their unique blend of psychedelic rock and experimental sounds. The live recording at Glastonbury captures them at a peak moment, showcasing standout tracks like 'Fight Test' and 'The Gash'. Interestingly, during this era, the band was also known for their unconventional live performances, often incorporating elaborate visuals and props—like giant balloons and confetti—into their shows, which turned every concert into a visual feast. This particular Glastonbury set is a testament to their ability to engage audiences through both music and spectacle, leaving a lasting impression on fans and new listeners alike.
