Show Notes:
Mars Volta opening for Deftones. Instead of doing a normal opening set, they’re performing an unreleased album in its entirety. Thanks to TheMarbleShrine for assisting with the tracking, which I would not have been able to do myself.

Recording Notes:
Most of the Mars Volta wireless feeds are loaded with click track + counts + triggers. This recording is mostly mono, full mix, and did have a bit of compression on it. I polished it up as best I could–ran it mostly once I saw the article about the new album. In any case–enjoy!

As always, encouraging people to get into taping and mixing. Just take the craft seriously and it will reward you many times over. There’s no point in complaining about missing recordings or subpar quality if you’re not contributing–pushing 1’s and 0’s around on the internet is no comparison for taping.

IEM recordings are not for everyone. If not they’re not your thing, either sonically or ethically, well at least you didn’t spend any money on this.

Similarly, I’m mixing primarily for my ears. This is what sounds best to me. This may not sound best to you. That’s a fair statement. I’m open to honest criticism (although you should have caught me when I was working on the mix!), but pointless complaining is unappreciated (naturally). Let’s play nice.

Feel free to distribute this recording, either in FLAC or 256kps (or greater) mp3. Just include this info file along with the files.

Feel free to remaster/remix this recording. Just keep it to your own computer and iPod, and do not redistribute.

Please do not remaster or use this audio for any video project or personal youtube/soundcloud/etc page. It’s considered offensive to take the audio/video and co-opt that hard work without permission. Especially folks that “remaster” the audio, while overloading and distorting the audio. If you want to remaster the audio…go back to the original recording and do your own (with taper permission!)

While it’s released for free on the internet, and I can take no real action if somebody takes the audio, I ask that you honor this simple request. After all, the only logical alternative to stop folks co-opting the audio is to simply stop releasing material on the internet, and just restrict it for sharing with other tapers. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.
