The Flaming Lips

In May 2013, when The Flaming Lips performed 'Waitin' For A Superman' live at Maida Vale Studios, they were making waves both creatively and commercially. This came just a year after the band released 'The Terror' in 2013, an album that embraced darker themes and avant-garde sounds. Known for their psychedelic rock and experimental style, the band had already made a significant mark in the music scene, with their 1999 breakthrough album, 'The Soft Bulletin,' often regarded as one of their best. In 2013, they were also celebrated for their high-energy performances and theatrical shows, which made the live recording at the iconic Maida Vale a must-see. Fun fact: during their performances, the Lips often incorporate elements like confetti and giant balloons, which create a uniquely immersive experience for fans. This recording highlights their ability to blend intimate music with grand spectacle.
