This record marked a pivotal moment for the band, blending their signature psychedelic rock with social commentary, and it features fan-favorites like 'Do You Realize??' The performance at the inaugural Pemberton Festival on July 26, 2008, showcases the band's ability to elevate live shows into immersive experiences with visuals and theatrics. It's interesting to note that around this time, the Flaming Lips were also known for their distinct connection to the audience, often incorporating unique elements into their performances, such as confetti blasts and giant, inflatable mascots.
