The Mars Volta - Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus - full song - Live

Cedric tweaking the pedal board while Omar shreds is among the most rock and roll moments caught on camera. Juan is like a Swiss watch with his timing!

I love how this isn't routine. It's not go up on stage, play the song note by note as previously written, then leave. This is some genuine feeling going into the music through some seriously badass improv. Bravo The Mars Volta!

Exactly...they are not just playing songs. With improvisation they are creating incredible moments :D

[@michelemedina5430]

What this performance shows the world is the total package, the epitome of a well connected band, (a beautiful marriage if you will), bonded by talent, expressing what music means to them in such a profound way that evokes a fully body sensory experience so that every member in attendance feels it in their soul! In that moment with joy at the core, that the tears roll down uncontrollably, and you realize the profound power music created by such amazing talented artists. Such fortunate souls are those lucky to have attended a concert where their favorite band sounded even better live, brought such stage energy and presence that took the crowd to new levels of a euphoric 'high', and ended by rendering them speechless with curfew-less encores etched as joyful memories highlighted in life!

I seen about 7 live shows of the Volta. through 2002- 2008 I feel they were at their prime in a musical sense , after that they were just killing it on stage performance and visual effects which I found also entertaining, some of my friends say they fell off, but I beg the differ. They only transcended.

The Mars Volta, una banda de otro planeta.

[@danielhedman7741]

I have heard two songs from the first record, they're in my playlist. I have always known that once I dig deeper into this band, I will never let them go. So I listened to the entire debut album over and over, loved it. I have just started listening på their second album, and after hearing this masterpiece of a song, I just had to see it live. I'll update when I'm done. Edit 1: This is by far one of the greatest live performances I have ever seen. The musicianship is on an elite level. And that drummer 🥰 they really love what they do. It took me 10 years to understand meshuggah, but when I did, my love for the band became permenantly attatched to the core of my soul. I feel like this is Meshuggah in another dimension, and without a 4/4 beat. I believe it is a very deep hole I have began to explore :) Edit 2: If any of you have not heard meshuggah yet, I suggest with the live version of dancers to a discordant system

[@Jimmy2e_]

This may be the best live video of TMV ever. Cedric is normally pretty hit or miss and the mix on a lot of videos sucks IMO, but everything about this is perfect.
