The Flaming Lips

In September 2010, The Flaming Lips performed 'The Ego's Last Stand' at The Blue Note in Columbia, Missouri, a moment that perfectly encapsulates where they were in their journey. At this time, the band had just released their ambitious album 'Embryonic' in 2009, which marked a significant shift in their sound toward a more experimental and expansive direction. 'Embryonic' was well-received, showcasing their continued evolution and willingness to push boundaries. Interestingly, the band was known for their electrifying live shows, often integrating stunning visuals and interactive elements, which would have been evident during this performance. This concert is a fine example of their quirky approach to rock, blending psychedelic sounds with a sort of avant-garde flair. It's a pivotal period for the Flaming Lips, where they were not just a band, but a cutting-edge force in modern music.
