The Flaming Lips

On August 30, 2009, The Flaming Lips delivered a memorable live performance of "The W.A.N.D." at the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston. This show came just a year after they released their much-lauded album, "Embryonic," which had a significant impact on their sound, leaning into experimental and psychedelic territory. Interestingly, "Embryonic" features a more collaborative approach, reflecting the band’s growth during a creative renaissance. At this juncture in their career, The Flaming Lips were not only known for their eclectic sound but also for their eccentric live shows—complete with vibrant visuals and unconventional theatrics—something you can sense even in this recording. This era marked a peak of innovation for the band, making their live performances an essential experience for fans.
