The Flaming Lips & Reggie Watts - It's Summertime Live at Shoreline Ampitheatre
In October 2012, The Flaming Lips performed at the Bridge School Benefit, showcasing their eclectic blend of psychedelic rock. By this time, they had just released their album 'The Terror' earlier that year, an introspective journey featuring darker themes and a sonic landscape that veered away from their previous whimsical sound. This live rendition of "It's Summertime" highlights their ability to create a celebratory atmosphere, even amid the weighty themes of 'The Terror.' The collaboration with Reggie Watts adds a unique twist, blending humor and artistry seamlessly. The concert, held at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, was part of a long-running benefit series that supported children with disabilities, highlighting the band’s commitment to community and advocacy, which has always been a part of their identity.
