The Flaming Lips Live Performance of A Spoonful Weighs A Ton at McMenamins Edgefield
On July 27, 2013, The Flaming Lips delivered a mesmerizing performance of 'A Spoonful Weighs A Ton' at McMenamins Historic Edgefield Manor in Troutdale, Oregon. This live recording comes in the wake of their 2013 album, 'The Terror,' which showcased a more experimental sound compared to their earlier works. By this time, the band was navigating through darker sonic territories, moving away from their signature psychedelic flair. Interestingly, during this period, they also gained notoriety for their unique stage shows, featuring elaborate visuals and props, complementing their innovative music. This performance reflects their willingness to push boundaries and deliver a captivating experience, capturing the essence of their artistic evolution.
