The Mars Volta is what happens when a whole band overplays their parts, and i love it

One of the best live shows I’ve been too

I love how Juan is playing a 9 minute solo on bass, just sitting in beautifully between everyone. He's a master of his craft.

Love the mastodon guys in the background just soaking it up

It's cool, but vocals could've been better

Jesus christ, it’s nice to hear juan in the mix for once, that man shreeeeddddds

4:23 to 5:00 - Cedric absolutely nailed it. Fucking beautiful and haunting at the same time

Only now am I understanding the coolness of the bass in this song.

“This is the haunt of roulette dares... weuweuweuweuweu 🎶”

pridgen is a beast... goddamn church drummers

This performance perfectly reflects the trajectory of this band. Just like this performance, they had their moments of absolute greatness mixed with moments of humanity, and yes, mistakes. In the beginning, they had not landed on their sound just yet. Experimenting, they searched for what would work for them, working with those who have been there before (De-Loused in the Comatorium), slowly and continually rising. Mistakes are made but at the expense of self-discovery. They start their peak, they reach genius/autistic musician levels with their ordered chaos jams (Frances the Mute/Amputechture). The rocket is taking off, and if you want to be a part of something epic, you better get on. "Salsa music on Acid" is going to be the next big thing. That rocket lifts off and they let that it carry them around the world as far as it can (Bedlam in Goliath). After which, they bring things down for a break and try the mellow thing for a while (Octahedron), only to build up momentum again for one last dying of breath. Line-ups and members change but the song remains the same. Their last reach misses 90% of their listening audience and then they kind of taper off and fade out (Noctourniquet). The 10% who got it beg for more and the resulting side projects only tickle their craving instead of satisfying it (Bosnian Rainbows). Sadly, those who stuck around don't realize they're leaving until they abruptly end. Those who jumped ship a while ago don't even realize that they're done and gone.

Fuck, everyone is just going off here. Every single instrument is fucking amazing. One of, if not the best version of this song I’ve heard.

Thomas Pridgen is unbelievable

I love hearing that man play the drums…❤❤❤❤

One of the best bass players alive... Juan Alderete de la Peña ! Follow his astonishing performances with the Omar Rodríguez-López Group, a pinnacle of taste and precision skills (coupled with the great Deantoni Parks, a drummer way better suited for this genre than Thomas Pridgen, a.k.a. "the annoying continuous chop-generator")

this is stunning, absolutely legendary in it's beauty. Music isnt supposed to be perfect, nothing is. These gentlemen did something special, not perfect, but special.

amazing version, i miss so much this band, and the previously band at the drive in, de facto too. this group is so good that every thing they do is great.

Thomas Pridgen is a beast! I sat six feet away at a drum clinic in Seattle, it was amazing to see someone of that caliber that close. Great musicians great band.

This is probably one of the best performances Pridgen had with Mars Volta.It's not that he's a bad drummer. Many people seem to think that. I just never thought he quite fitted in in style dynamics, but here he's fucking rippin' it.

Impresionante!!.
