Tulum's Collection

The Mars Volta   04/04/2008

House of Blues, Myrtle Beach, SC
Source external mics/battery box/device (.wav format) - iRiver
Media FLAC   15 discs
Notes The sound quality is not very good. Bad position for recording behind band's soundboard - the music was too loud and knocked down recording levels. Original .wav file was nearly flat-lined - some normalizing made it listenable.

Due to mistakes made by the taper, most of Aberinkula was lost and all of Drunkship is missing. However, everything else is there including a nice Cedric rant. You can hear a guy in the crowd yell something like "What are you doing?!" which sets off Cedric. I looked at the setlist at the soundboard, and it appears that the night was cut short, maybe due to Cedric being upset. The following three songs were after Drunkship on the setlist at the soundboard, but were not played ---

Ilyena
Meccamputechture
Day of the Baphomets.


There's also a bit of digi-noise somewhere in the recording, and it is also on the master recording - sorry!
