The Flaming Lips

On December 31, 2014, The Flaming Lips delivered a mesmerizing performance at The Warfield in San Francisco, showcasing their unique sound and bold artistry. This live recording comes approximately two years after their album "The Terror," released in 2013, which marks a darker and more experimental direction for the band. By this time, The Flaming Lips were celebrated not just for their music, but also for their outlandish live shows and immersive visuals. Interestingly, this particular song, "When You Smile," had not been played live since 1999, making the performance a nostalgic moment for long-time fans. The blending of joy and melancholy in their music added richness to the atmosphere, turning the night into a vibrant celebration of creativity and connection.
