The Flaming Lips

Live Performance of 'Lost Cause' by Beck with The Flaming Lips featuring Ted Danson

Date: 2002

In January 2002, during the live performance of "Lost Cause" alongside Beck, The Flaming Lips were experiencing significant momentum in their career. Just prior to this event, they had released their acclaimed album "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" in 2002, which would later become a landmark work for the band. However, at the time of this performance, they were still riding the wave of their 1999 album, "The Soft Bulletin," which marked a creative resurgence and critical acclaim for the band. The collaboration with Beck perfectly exemplifies their eclectic and experimental approach to music. Notably, actor Ted Danson was a guest during this performance, adding a unique charm to the event, highlighting the band's appeal that crossed musical and cultural boundaries. This live performance showcased their ability to blend genres and elevate live experiences.
