The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize Live from Riot Fest Chicago
In September 2016, The Flaming Lips delivered a captivating performance of "Do You Realize?" live at Riot Fest in Chicago, a testament to their enduring creativity and connection to their audience. At this point in their career, they had recently released the album "Oczy Mlody" in January 2017, but they were still riding high on the waves of their 2013 release, "The Terror." "The Terror" showcased a darker, more experimental side of the band, moving away from their typically whimsical sound. This live show not only highlighted their growth as artists but also their dedication to creating immersive experiences, often using elaborate visuals and stage setups. Interestingly, their performance of "Do You Realize?" has become a signature track, resonating deeply with fans for its poignant themes of love and mortality, showing how The Flaming Lips weave complex emotions into their vibrant, psychedelic performances.
