The Flaming Lips

The Flaming Lips delivered a stunning performance of "Life on Mars?" at the David Bowie Tribute Concert on March 31, 2016, held at Carnegie Hall in New York City. This emotional tribute came during a pivotal moment in their career, shortly after the release of their album 'Oczy Mlody' in January 2017, which represents a more experimental phase for the band. Interestingly, this live performance not only highlighted their unique sound but also reflected their reverence for Bowie, whose influence is palpable in their work. The concert showcased the Lips’ signature flair for the theatrical, exemplified by Wayne Coyne’s memorable appearance sitting atop Chewbacca's shoulders, blending whimsy with a heartfelt homage. This combination of artistry and genuine admiration for Bowie was a perfect illustration of The Flaming Lips' approach to music and community.
