The Flaming Lips

In October 2011, The Flaming Lips were riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album "Embryonic," which had been released two years prior. This period was marked by their experimental sound that blended psychedelic rock with avant-garde elements, pushing the boundaries of both their musical style and live performances. During the concert at the State Theatre in Portland, the band delivered an exuberant mix of tracks from "Embryonic" and earlier works, showcasing their signature creativity. This live show was a testament to their vibrant stage presence and innovative spirit, characteristic of a band that's never afraid to take artistic risks. Interestingly, around this time, they were also known for their elaborate live shows featuring visually stunning elements, like confetti, balloons, and intricate lighting, crafting a truly immersive experience for the audience.
