The Flaming Lips Perform 'SpongeBob & Patrick Confront The Psychic Wall Of Energy' Live on Late Night with Conan O'Brien
On November 18, 2004, The Flaming Lips performed on 'Late Night With Conan O'Brien', just a few months after releasing their critically acclaimed album 'At War with the Mystics'. This album marked a significant moment in their career, featuring tracks that explored themes of existence and the human condition, all wrapped in their signature psychedelic sound. The band's performance was filled with their typical theatrical flair, complete with elaborate visuals and eccentric costumes, a hallmark of their live shows. Interestingly, around this time, they were also known for their unique promotional strategies, including a famous stunt of releasing a song on a gummy skull. The live recording underscores their audacious approach to both music and performance, further solidifying their status as adventurous innovators in the alt-rock scene.
