The Flaming Lips

On June 12, 2014, The Flaming Lips were mid-career, riding high on the success of their 2013 album, 'The Terror,' which showcased a darker, more experimental sound, distinct from their earlier works. The concert at The Fillmore in Detroit promised an immersive experience, reflecting the band's signature mix of psychedelic rock and cosmic themes. In this show, fans would have enjoyed tracks like 'Race for the Prize' and 'The W.A.N.D.,' while witnessing Wayne Coyne's iconic stage presence, complete with elaborate visuals. Interestingly, 2014 marked a decisive moment in their evolution, as they were preparing to shift towards a more collaborative and eclectic approach in future works, notably involving various artists and unusual projects. This live recording captures not just a performance but a snapshot of a band continuing to explore the boundaries of music and performance art.
