[@varokiller]

i cant belive cedric is singing better than EVER!!!!

[@saulgoodman.exe_]

had to change keys but hey it's fine i guess..

[@travisgodfrey-evans2182]

@@saulgoodman.exe_ Weird backhanded response lol, I'm not mad, just... They're older..? Dio used to lower the key haha, it's a perfectly reasonable and good thing to do.

[@giants101]

Ya more vocals! Less crazy dancing lmao love it

[@yanasungar9000]

Shhh

[@saulgoodman.exe_]

@@travisgodfrey-evans2182 sure, but i'd rather listen to the Drunkship of Lanterns album version or the Maida Vaile Sessions recording than go to one of the concerts on the new tour w/ a key change bc Cedric can't perform the song in its original key

[@NightOfTheRevolution]

Man I was only introduced to this band a month ago but I'm in love with them. I cant even explain the feeling I get from listening to their music-- its like I finally feel alive. It triggers something in my brain nothing ever has before. Im just completely head over heels for this music

[@TheMarbleShrine]

Welcome! So glad people are still learning about this band. Check out our website if you want to really deep dive into their history. There are hundreds of show recordings that you can download and listen to.

[@colinkis7]

It’s literally one of the best albums ever made. I’m so lucky to have found it too!

[@Sansblinking]

De-loused… is something beyond special. I play it in full a lot less than I use to, but damn when I’m alone on a bus or traveling somewhere; it’s the ultimate album to listen to, for me, it just gets me so pumped for everything that’s ahead!!!

[@guycomments]

EXO SKELETAL JUNCTION AT THE RAILROAD DELAYYYYEEEEEEEEDDDD

[@r_k_f]

i envy you for just finding them now. it must be great discovering the treasure trove of their music all at once.

[@jrjubach]

Who else was totally blown away by Cedric's voice? Bravo to these guys.

[@restanibalu]

Agreed. Seems like they lowered the key. It fitted nicely on his voice nowadays. Bravissimo

[@edwardthegreat1382]

I'd cry. I'm crying now. All those years...

[@bieldecadant]

indeed

[@gabodds2221]

One of the best bands from the past, present, and beyond

[@adityadarmadi6303]

Me too..

[@maroli8023]

Love this band 🤪

[@sv7102]

Yo tambors 😢, los veré 😊

[@NeonEjaculate]

There were instances where I swore I could've heard backing vocals... but no, that was the crowd singing along. I'm in tears

[@rickdick2683]

Dam, not only hearing Cedric singing and not struggling to hit the notes but that chorus of people behind him on inertiatic actually made me a bit emotional 🥲 haven’t really listened to them in years and it really brought me back

[@tsibren]

I had the same feeling!

[@sciencemon5681]

Yea he sounds great. Might be because his movement while live has slowed down severely so he can hit the notes better lol

[@zagyex]

yes

[@1stflower834]

But he is actually struggling. Cygnus is lowered by one octave and he can't hit some parts... Getting old as a vocalist is more impactful than getting old as an instrument player

[@kikiphallin]

@@1stflower834 Lol, that's not what an octave is, you mean a whole step (tone) ? He is struggling tho, I agree with that.

[@chickenfriedsundays]

I saw The Mars Volta open for A Perfect Circle in Dallas in 2004 and it changed my life. They played Deloused in the Comatorium in its entirety and I had chills the entire time. I remember it so vividly. I was a freshman in Highschool and it urged me to pursue the guitar and started a band shortly thereafter. Cedric and Omar are musical geniuses. Thank you for the quality upload.

[@thesega]

dear gods what a show - we're the same age and i've been to my share of amazing shows but there are very few things i wouldn't trade to see what you saw then.

[@fortunaterunt6834]

Same here! I saw them in Iowa on that tour, and they got nearly booed off the stage. I thought it was ridiculously amazing, apparently others did not.

[@Lank2thepast]

@@fortunaterunt6834 I saw them in Amarillo on this tour and they got in a fight with the audience and left the set early.

[@AdsmanJays]

I saw this same show but in Long Beach, CA my freshman year as well. Was fantastic.

[@EddieLovesYou]

Saw them on this tour in SF, amazing

[@dannyaxelsunday]

What a great crowd. You can see and feel the band being lifted by the energy they are getting back.

[@yellowkangdexasthur4904]

It was insane there that night. Even better than the first

[@TheWayfarerFamily]

They sound better than ever. Slightly miss the mental frenetic energetic dance moves they used to rip out, but, they are old boys now. They are only looking back for our benefit. They are charting new territory at this point. So good to see them… pray they come to NZ…

[@JimmyIronballs]

Huge thanks to whoever provided audio for this. Unbelievable quality.

[@jordangreen5712]

I’m so glad they’ve gotten to a place where the crowd goes nuts when they hit the quiet parts.

[@gerardotejada2531]

It ruins the experience

[@rvialm]

Damn, Philo at drums is incredible. What a drummer, She is soo tight.. so flawless

[@6lu5ky86]

Respect for the hand drummer on Drunkship. That rhythm is so eargasmic.

[@ewiemama]

One of my absolute fave songs

[@poopremlap]

The percussionist is what you mean. Yes, it is absolutely lovely!

[@RyanRenteria]

thats omar's brother marcel

[@Chris_Ha_Trio]

Hearing Cedric sing live and hitting all high notes with such energy brings me to tears…. Marvellous

[@TMV420]

they started playing a whole step down or more so Cedric could hit all the notes. it's perfect!

[@bieldecadant]

they're light-years ahead. they have always been.

[@5555gregar]

I was so lucky to see this performance live; truly life changing

[@paulpaige9501]

Same. I'm convinced I'll never see a better show in seattle.

[@bachache9833]

Sat right there in the front row and relistening to this recording a year later I now realize how different it sounds! I guess I was overwhelmed with the sheer amount of detail put into every part that I couldn't even recognize if this was the concert I even went to lol. Im hearing new parts and reprises every time i listen.

[@yungyeshua.]

Man they sound so good right now, absolutely awesome

[@Shaikoten]

I was at the Boston show on this tour. Had followed them through their whole career but never been to a show, they always seemed to be... sloppy, rushed, too focused on crazy stage antics at the expense of the music. When I saw some footage of this tour, it seemed like everything had changed. Their focus, dedication, and the quality of what they deliver... just through the roof. They may be older now, but they've really matured in ways that they can finally do their amazing music the justice it deserves. Was an honor being at that show, without a doubt the best concert I've ever been to in my life, and I hope to see more along these lines in the years to come.

[@allgrownupvideo]

yeah it's called NOT BEING INVOLVED WITH SCIENTOLOGY!!!

[@_-_-_-Prof.BoskoBiathi-_-_-_]

But u think not,.the early shows were wilder,...better,...maybe rude,....me and my wife will see them in june in berlin,.im excited

[@theoadams2490]

That was a completely different band. The Mars Volta has always been fluid.

[@AndyWrasman]

I saw them twice in the early 00s. They were very jammy with wild Who style stage moves. The first time I think the lyrics were improved. I like jammy and wild stage over being too refined and too robotic. I saw Rush once and it was like watching machines playing... it was too perfect; seemed to have no heart.

[@groovydeath]

Agreed. I think part of the "crazy stage antics" can honestly be explained by thinking about how fucking good the music is-- I mean imagine playing up on stage with them, I for one know I'd lose my shit and not be able to help myself but break into aggressive dance and jumping and headbanging even while performing. Sometimes you feel the music so much you simply have to dance and their music is extremely dance-able. I can't fault Cedric for going apeshit while singing.

[@bicipensante]

This is unbelievable! I saw the volta 4 times and then they split. Never thought to have the possibility to hear a new live show again, and there they are, with an amazing line up! Thank you the marble shrine for this!!! Hope to see the amazing Volta again here in Chile ❤️

[@salthegreat9317]

I just realized how long you've been doing this... man, that's commitment. Thank you for doing this!

[@roulette_dares]

I cannot say for sure how many times I've watched this now. This band is INCREDIBLY CAPTIVATING, I really wish I knew about them sooner but I'm 16 right now so they weren't really on the radar when I was discovering music, but better late then never. This music has really changed my life, for the better too!!

[@TheMarbleShrine]

Enjoy! There's a really good video of Chicago that you'll probably like too. It's mostly the same set but a lot more improv. kzbin.info/www/bejne/joSsh4mPZddsgZY

[@roulette_dares]

@TheMarbleShrine OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH! I will check it out in full some time later but I already know its awesome. Love these guys🙏

[@stevendominguez1654]

Watch their old clips my dude. These guys changed my life too. De-loused in the Comatorium start to finish is one of the greatest albums of all time.

[@roulette_dares]

@stevendominguez1654 i have! I've watched a lot of their performances from different times, idk how more people dont know about them, at least no one that i know does. But they're so incredible its crazy how they arent more renowned

[@roulette_dares]

@@stevendominguez1654 and yeah, that album is GOD tier

[@yellowkangdexasthur4904]

I was there right in front of Cedric. Best show of my life

[@christopherbellis]

Seeing young folks enjoying good music makes my heart swell!

[@gregchapman3519]

Best version of the Volta. Finally look like they're having genuine fun up there.

[@michaelmireles4480]

I love that I can hear myself start a otra chant @1:50:42 drove from Houston for the show

[@saviorofmyown9533]

This is real music .. by REAL MUSICIANS.. you literally can feel it … incredibly . Fan since their first album.. nothing but respect

@Alicee Got myself a ticket for Manchester also, Viva Mars Volta!

[@ThePwig]

I totally missed the boat and didn’t realize they had reunited and went on tour. Shit they sound amazing

[@TheMarbleShrine]

The tour continues in May. Check the dates. Hopefully there's something close to you. They were in top form for last years shows.

[@ThePwig]

@@TheMarbleShrine yeah I did. Got tickets for Houston. Thanks

[@julienloeper7497]

That performance of Viscera Eyes was incredibly smooth

[@xGRAIVx]

really sad it got dropped from the setlist for other tour stops. Song rips hard.

[@timthekillermiller1]

This has to be my favorite rendition of Cygnus of all time. The angles of the performance really make it for me.

[@christopherlopez2491]

As always… thank you for keeping these performances in a safe place

[@lukasketner]

Marble Shrine's composite of all the requested materials from other vids. Thumbs up and they haven't even started yet because MS is always quality. Thanks for this!

[@mosesh06]

This rendition of vicarious atonement is too good. Just a reflection of all they've accomplished.

[@user-oz5xb9ed3w]

time stamp? i’m at work i want to check it out

It’s the first song, so 0:00

Actually 00:53 after the intro

@@alienoar thanks i hadn’t played it just came to see if anyone had the set list posted 👍🏻

[@craigjohnson2259]

Wife and I were THERE! It was fantastic, can't wait to see them again in San Diego in May! Worth making a trip to California, otherwise, not so much. Saw Roxie Music the night before and then Porcupine Tree the next night after TMV and then got the hell out of town. Threepete Mission Complete :)

[@timpeterson175]

They’ve done so much for their fans - so happy to see them in a great place! ❤❤❤

[@codygonzalez8434]

There was screaming, yelling, crying, and hugging.. and this was one of the greatest nights of my life besides the first and second time I had a chance to see TMV live. Thank you for the upload and great work

[@drradon]

Wonderful work putting these recordings together. Thank you so much.

[@sichuancowboy]

I remember seeing them live when they were the opening act for Tool. I was 15 or 16. I didn't even know who Tool was. My friends and I were so stoked to see the De-Loused in a Comatorium tour.

[@k.c.simonsen2]

I think this is the show I was at - the first show they'd played since their break-up ten years prior. God bless whoever filmed and recorded this. Looks and sounds fantastic.

[@RSpracticalshooting]

it's weird seeing cedric aged like this but he sounds fantastic!

[@lex_C_88]

I know I feel the same about John Frusciante

[@frguava4360]

Cygnus! Holy Smokes! Love this Band!

[@RIKDDY]

Its been difficult finding footage from the 2nd dallas show. Thanks for uploading this. All I heard was the 1st show = practice run; the 2nd show was crisper

[@gumbly4174]

These guys actually got better. I’ve been kinda disappointed with a lot of live recordings of the Mars Volta. But know I wanna see them live, they’re totally astounding.

[@wompa164]

I was at this show and apart from being an incredible show in every way, my favorite memory was probably a drunk guy who kept singing "I CAN'T REMEMBERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" over and over throughout Cygnus. God bless your soul

[@TheMarbleShrine]

We were there both nights! They were awesome!

[@davideberhardt6150]

Damn, Eva & Philo are an amazing rhythm section together. Never thought anyone could ever be as good as Jon & Juan.

[@alextlihui]

Solid

[@jake6894]

I absolutely love the drummer.Top shelf.

[@satevo462]

Deloused will always blow my mind.

[@smashingairguitars]

Man the audience singing with Cedric during the chorus of Roulette got me. 😢 Amazing.

[@braindead1368]

Now it makes me want to go see them, they finally matured and prioritized the quality of vocalization and instrumentation instead of playing crazy on stage.

[@losangulos]

Ive been waiting this for decades, f the jumping

[@AdsmanJays]

That and putting down the opiates, hopefully.

[@lebaron1568]

yes i'm thinking the same, good tempo, maybe no drug and alcool

[@kitpalmer1583]

​@Addaboy i mean, that happened in like 2003 to be fair

[@comfortable.and.furious]

truth. I saw them like 20 years ago when they opened for, I think it was A Perfect Circle in Salt Lake City, and man what a disappointment. Too much jamming and falling over. I would love to see them in this mindset with the original lineup (ahem Jon Theodore on the drums)

[@TheMarbleShrine]

Thank you for the kind words! We love being the go to place for everything TMV related. We do have a Facebook page where people discuss shows when we post them. We tried to integrate the old Mars Volta message board into our page but sadly the board died before we could work it out with the admins. Hopefully one day we can figure something out. It's definitely on our long list of things to do.
