The Mars Volta - Abortion, The Other White Meat (full version)

[@trentuzumaki]

play this on the tv when no one’s home …..

[@karlsimons8101]

Just did that - I had a great time

[@RexVergstrong]

Been years since I've heard this one. Just to add some info, most of the jams were eventually worked into Omar's Old Money album.

[@growskull]

oh yeah alot of the motifs do sound similar to that album and also lots of 2005 era live jams like take the veil at the end and the climax of cassandra

[@karlsimons8101]

This one was a hard find for me back when it splashed. The good ol KROQ Weenie Roast - fantastic set!

[@TheGlizzler]

4:49 Omar hit em with the silly tone

[@growskull]

it sounds so cool tho

[@humanasornament]

shortest 50 min ever, it's fucking crazy discovering new music from a band you've been hearing for so many years...

[@t_jakedk]

I can hear a guitar riff from "Day of the Baphomets" in 11:40 and I love to find this kind details in any project related to Omar or Cedric.

[@growskull]

oh i didn't notice that before but yeah thats cool haha

[@adorno_gang37]

16:28 onwards is super reminiscent of the beginning of Day of the Baphomets too

[@jebroe860]

sounds good . It's like a real long sound check improvisation. It brought me to Bosnian tears. he he he avant/ garage

[@screenheads3812]

I was there, 14 years old with my at the drive in tshirt on. And pissed they didn’t play any songs 😂. My dad felt so bad about my disappointment that he took me to their show a few months later 😂

[@growskull]

haha damn i wish i couldve been there , love this jam and yet you hated it lol

[@screenheads3812]

@@growskull well keep in mind, first time about to see them, been wondering what songs are they going to play for about months, finally there, they come out, start with a little jam feeling like they’re building up to an intro in a song, and it never comes 😂. Now I love it, but only because I’ve seen them live after that. It was bitter sweet at the time.

[@SpecialAgentDaleCooper-FBI]

lol I was also there as a 14yr old who didn’t know who at the drive in was . Started my love affair with TMV and saw them something close to 10x after that, most recently in Indianapolis a couple days ago (incredible show in a tiny venue) . Glad I got to see at least one show with Theodore …

[@reid_makes_art]

14 year old you wasn't ready, I probably wouldn't have been at 14 either

[@AdrianBeuses]

This sounds like "Population Council's Wet Dream" from his solo album Old Money, the first 12 mins or so

[@growskull]

yes! i think alot of this improv is what became old money songs

[@dimayurkovetsky4060]

I love you all, Mars volta fans!❤ I hug you all from Ukraine

[@hansy3]

Amazing pal, thinking about you and your people from Winnipeg, Canada.

[@turbotreehouse9780]

Thanks for posting this. Good jams ❤

[@nayrtnartsipacify]

This sounds like some john zorn

[@Aviewerbychance]

Stimulating and very calming. Thank you? LOVE YOUR MUSIC!!!!

[@linuskangas9791]

Shit yeah, thank you for this, haven't heard it in 17+ years!

[@QwQ-qwq]

Dios Bendiga a Mars Volta!

[@SherryTunkel]

WHAT A PEARL

[@טלאוחנה-ר6ד]

cray cray

[@dogdog4091]

This is so dope. Got real Miranda at 12:55

[@TheVladrusu]

Slightly edit this raw material and you got yourself another great album. Or better, leave it as it is 👏

[@growskull]

yeah i feel like this and the jacob jams from 2006 might be scrapped albums. alot of parts are spread throughout omar solo albums

[@TheVladrusu]

​@@growskull thanks for the upload. Omar"s solo output is uncharted territory for me. Scary, there's so much of it... but now I'm motivated to explore!

[@aegiswing]

​@@growskullyeah, it seems Omar uploads either scrapped songs or demos from TMV a lot. Cool that we can still listen to some of it though, just wish it were all there.

[@alexsetterington3142]

Probably best place to start for you would be buying his vinyl box set entire catalogue. Looks cool nice presentation.

[@alexsetterington3142]

Ok I had to look it up it's 57 records

[@dimayurkovetsky4060]

22:22 31:01 39:39

[@thomasb-k4104]

Hell yeah

[@josebravo3902]

Awesome!

[@growskull]

the part where ced starts singing is so epic

[@cassandragemini8600]

❤

[@rodolfoacostar]

This is so cool... feels like a show at *matik-matik*!

[@growskull]

haha yeah, the start is a little aimless but after cedric first comes in and they settle into a groove its just pure awesomeness
