The Flaming Lips

In September 2010, The Flaming Lips were riding high on the waves of their 2009 album, 'Embryonic.' This album marked a significant moment in their evolution, embracing their psychedelic roots while pushing the boundaries of experimental rock. By the time of the live recording of 'Do You Realize?' at The Blue Note in Columbia, the band had garnered a reputation for their vibrant, immersive performances. Known for their eclectic style, they often turned their live shows into a multisensory experience, weaving visuals and sound in a way that felt like a celebration of life itself. It's no wonder 'Do You Realize?' became an anthem of sorts, with its existential themes that resonate deeply with fans. Interestingly, this performance was part of a tour that emphasized their dynamic stage presence, creating a profoundly intimate connection with the audience even in larger venues.
