The Flaming Lips

By October 31, 2013, The Flaming Lips were riding high on the success of their 2013 album, "The Terror," which marked a dark and introspective turn for the band, exploring themes of existential dread and emotional turbulence. This live recording from the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium showcases the band during a time when they were experimenting with new soundscapes, blending their signature psychedelic vibes with a more ambient and somber touch. An interesting tidbit is that Halloween shows are a tradition for the band, often filled with theatrical elements and surprises, enhancing the already captivating experience. It must have been electrifying to witness their performance in San Francisco, as they embraced the festival atmosphere, transforming the venue into a vibrant celebration of music and creativity.
