The Mars Volta - Live in London, UK
August 27th, 2003 @ Maida Vale Studios
Setlist
Notes
Recorded at a BBC Maida Vale Session, if you are new to The Mars Volta bootleg recordings and are still looking for pro-audio then this Deloused era performance is a must grab. They recorded pretty solid live performances of Eriatarka, Cicatriz, and also unique one off jam called Obelisk. Yes you can find better renditions of the former songs on their traditional live performances, but the audio here is pristine, making this a hard performance to pass up.

Tour Era
To describe the touring era of De-Loused in the Comatorium is to write a novel of a band continually morphing and shape-shifting from mutant punk to space oddity salsa; a span of three years that had the band go through a head-spinning multitude of personnel changes, nearly endless touring, the death of a founding member, see the band skyrocket from barroom novelty to playing to massive festival going audienc... read more
