The Mars Volta - Inertiatic ESP AtlantA, GA 2022 LIVE Reunion

[@keithwaynejones]

cedric’s mic kick at the drop gave me goosebumps for some reason

Same, had to pause the video and it's still spreading through my body

[@jlouiseknust]

Like the old days again!!

Timestamp?

[@g0rgth3b0rg]

I saw Mars Volta in 2008. This was the very beginning of smart phones. An audience member in the pit was recording a song. I guess Cedric didn't like the idea of being filmed at the time. Cedric was making gestures at the guy recording. A few minutes later, Cedric went backstage, came back out with a trash can, and literally threw the trash can at the person filming the show. It was freaking nuts.

[@Macabresque]

LOL that's fucking wild. At this concert there were SOOO people recording the whole show. I just was incredibly grateful to see them live and didn't want to be distracted by pulling out my phone!

[@farronistudio]

greqt tine... me to i saw in the 2009, no one filming just enjoy the concert... now... al this dumb people whit the camera recording all the time.

[@monsieurlemon]

lmao

[@TheAbandonedAccount7]

back in the days when concerts didnt need to be filmed and guys like that deserved to have a tr can thrown at them. Now, with how much you're paying for the ticket, I better be allowed to professionally record the entire thing if I want lmao with a 4k camcorder and shure mic.

[@JuaniPodrido]

I remember when they played at the MTV VMA latin America, Cedric went to the crowd and yanked the sunglasses of some "artist" that sitting, I think there's a clip on KZbin of that performance

[@jdredshift]

Cedric sounds great, but can we just take a second here to appreciate what an absolute genius Omar Rodriguez Lopez is!

[@luchogz]

He is one of the bests of this century

[@rossbooth4635]

I mean... let's be real. During their hiatus, Omar released around 50 solo albums, while Cedric (presumably) ate around 50 thousand cheeseburgers.

Cedric feels so leveled, so in harmony with himself like never before and this gives him so much feeling in his voice while performing, that I know right now I will attend one of their shows!🙌

[@matsunami]

It must feel so good for Eva to be playing the songs she helped write again.

[@adrianoa.j.5788]

I hope they play some Tremulant songs with her, it would be so awesome!

[@oxygenpoisoning]

Didn't Flea do all of the bass on DITC? It sounds drastically different than Tremulant.

[@ursaproxima]

@@oxygenpoisoning She was in the band before Flea did those recordings. Listen to Landscape Tantrums, they released early version of the songs officially now :)

[@alectronicmail]

Really good to see her back. Also great to see the new line up...amazing. Our friend on the drums is amazing, looking forward to watching her grow. They all sound amazing and Omar’s Mariposa looks/sounds great 👌

[@milkmeapollo9048]

I love how they mostly played oldies for this tour's setlist, they know what their fans want and they're giving it to us!

[@robert743]

I agree that they are giving the fans what they want, but I'm kinda disappointed that they are. The new album is criminally underappreciated. I think the fans might warm up to it if they heard it live. "No Case Gain," "Que Dios Te Maldiga Mi Corazon," and "The Requisition" would be amazing to hear live. I love the fact that they went in a different direction in spite of fans' complaints, but it feels like they are afraid to commit to that on stage.

[@killerkevin27]

I’ve seen Mars Volta in the past, and they always played the newest stuff. Why now are they not playing the newest stuff? This new album is incredible, sure let the part time music fans catch up I guess……but Boo on Volta for not going all in.

[@alvinduran5540]

I was there. I had horrible seats and my buddy mentioned how his aunt knew the sound engineer at the Greek So I told him to hit her up. I’ll never forget, she said his name was Greg Nelson and to go ask I he could hook us up with Better seats. We went to the sound engineer spot in the middle of the Greek and spoke to him. Right before the show started, he went backstage and shortly after came back He said he couldn’t get us backstage passes but he got us out tickets. We were front row for Cassandra Gemini My face melted off that night. Thanks Greg!

[@jamesloughlin7584]

Cedric's voice still has it. Can't wait to see them in Denver.

[@callummcmahon9899]

They’ve dropped the key so it’s easier to sing - a much better option, voices natural drop in key with age, and his voice sounds incredible here. The returning and new additions to the band are great too - can’t wait for them to return to the UK!

i think Ced struggled with falsetto in live performance. i'd love to hear the absolute power he'd release in drop C or B standard. i think he's secretly a tenor or baritone.

Sinto um misto de desapontamento e aceitação... Eles realmente envelheceram, não conseguem ter mais o mesmo pique caótico e energético que tinham no passado e isso é compreensível. A morte do Ikey Owens, o acidente terrível com a baixista Juan Alderete e a inúmeras trocas de bateristas abalaram muito a identidade da banda. Não gostei desse último disco, mas fico feliz que eles estão de volta fazendo o que gostam. Pra mim que ficou preso no passado, ainda da pra curtir as coisas antigas kkkkk

I've always loved their live, punk energy and "now it's lost". Cedric's vocal is still good, but the energy is just no longer there compared to their older performances. Just listen to Electric Ballroom performance of the song. I think it's the drummer issue. She gives the whole a more mellow and calm tone, which is not bad, but not what it used to be before.
