The mars Volta - Take the veil cerpin taxt (live Montreal 2023)

[@hERDoFBAND]

Played this song for my partner before we left. I told her if there was any song I hoped to hear but wasn’t expecting it would be this. Couldn’t believe they played it and I wish I was still rocking out to it in the crowd.

[@Leash678]

What we all been waiting for 🙏 🙏 🙏 Thank you, best way to start a new day, watching the first take the veil since 2005 and having morning coffee.

[@rickwhite96]

You an absolute fucking hero for uploading this. Thank you!

[@maximumroyal7954]

agree

[@m.f.3347]

HOLY SHIT THEY PLAYED TAKE THE VEIL WTF

[@danteorfei4815]

Pretty rad!!!! I'm even happier they went with the original arrangement (almost like the landscape tantrums recording with the extended ambient movement before the "Fripp Frantic" Omar guitar riff! Seeing as it has replaced Cygnus in the setlist, I have a feeling they are going to let the live improv between the bass solo and psychedelic crescendo "Evolve" through the rest of the tour (very much like they did during 2003)! I saw both 2003 Chicago shows and I so wish a recording (w/ bass solo) will surface from the metro show. There's a small snippet video of the crescendo on you tube which has this really cool part I've only heard during veil on recordings from 2004 versions (Tokyo shows and then Denver from March 2004). If you can track it down, the recording from Albuquerque 2004, is a REALLY incredible version!!!! I have to say it's also really awesome they have ditched that 2005 arrangement (saw them do that twice version twice and it really didn't pack the punch that previous arrangement(s) had)!

[@jthopkins]

It’s hard to tell, but I wish the crowd popped harder once they realized they were playing this song for the first time in nearly 20 years

[@fredericcorriveau8180]

it kinda went to be honest, i was in the first rows. Definite surprise, i was spamming the setlist and watched every show on youtube and i still didnt expect this slapper

[@cmluibl]

I was there and was so surprised when it happened, and was as if the audience was shocked or something. It would’ve made a powerful encore.

[@hERDoFBAND]

Oh we popped!

[@SamuelOtten]

I am seeing them next weekend and I would love for them to play Take The Veil. It's my favorite song. This tour has had lots of great choices for inclusion, though.

[@danteorfei4815]

Omar teased the Fripp like solo during the build up from the quiet part of cicatriz at riot fest! I posted a video of it. They also teased the intro interlude (they used back in the 2003 shows) after televators in Chicago last October. I thought "omg... they are gonna close with veil!" And then they segued into son et lumiere... I was like "damn"

[@mattfanofcats3262]

Thanks for sharing, one of the few times I am grateful someone had a phone up the whole time

[@golfpug]

Already pumped for the Chicago show coming March next year

[@cabreralion5615]

My favorite song ever❤️

[@deadbeats4894]

Just saw them last night, haven't seen this song since 2005. I was suprised how good the show was. They canceled their last 3 shows in Cincy, so the place went nuts all night. The 🍄 made it👌 Very nostalgic for me.

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

I was in the first row balcony in Cincy. . It was wonderful . Last time I saw them was 2003 I believe on deloused tour

[@screenheads3812]

I believe I was at the show the last time they played this song. 05 Santa Barbara

[@SevenSixty2]

WHO BROUGHT ME HERE? FORSAKEN DEPRAVED AND WROUGHT WITH FEAR? WHO TURNED IT OFF? THE LAST THING I REMEMBER NOW… WHO BROUGHT ME HERE? The hardest hitting sudden-end to an album I have ever heard.

[@CellarDoorHinge]

The greatest band of all time.

[@emibustamante6442]

Amazing, such a great band. Saw them in Chile back in may. Thank you very much for sharing the video!

[@kool_thing]

I've been a fan for over 10 years and finally managed to see them on this tour. Just needed to travel 8500km lol, so worth it. It was everything I hope for and even more.

[@kool_thing]

Funnily enough, I did manage see Bosnian Rainbows back in 2012. No idea how they ended up in my country on that tour, it was lovely too.

[@AkihiroDigital]

We are so fucking back! ⭐

[@scottyroxwell]

I sincerely hope that when I get to the afterlife, I get to experience listening to this album as if it were the first time again. Could you imagine?

[@oeufalacoq2847]

Never got to hear this song live out of the 4 times seeing them live. Glad they have played it recently. 🎉❤

[@chrise1485]

i have goosebumps, so excited to see them play this this weekend!

[@_H8ed_]

gramps still got it

[@MrDanieloneill]

It's a bummer. The drums, bass and keys sound like a competent Mars Volta cover band. Miss Juan, Jon and Ikey.

[@reid_makes_art]

Well one of those guys is dead, the other had a brain injury and the other one was taken by queens of the stone age...

[@lex_C_88]

Yeah I've seen a comment saying this drummer is better than Theodore that person had to have been drunk

[@iamwe7035]

I met these guys in 2004 we talked in spanish and When i told Cedric where I lived it happened to be his natal town lol , i moved from south America a couple years prior to that, I was either 20 or 21

Who’s the new drummer? Seems like a downgrade

[@rizla2000]

Opted for a female drummer. Smart choice as you do not need to pay them as much. More cash for Omar and Cedric

What is wrong with you?

If they play tiis at red rocks, straight up cream dreams
