When I saw that the Mars Volta had a date lined up in town, I knew I had to go. I missed my chance in the 2000s and 2010s and was unsure I would ever see them. Now I knew I would. I was not disappointed. This was likely a top 3 concert for 2023 for me. I somehow screwed up the start time and arrived in my seat about 5 minutes before the band went on. I think this is the closest I will get to seeing Pink Floyd before Dark Side that isn't Nick Mason. Sure, the music isn't the same but I suspect the visual element is not too far off. If they tour again, I will tape that as well. Sonically, I don't think this came out too bad but the high pass filter helps the internal mics. I hope this is worth a listen for you. I can't think goreykoble enough for splitting the tracks, as I likely would have made a mistake and it may still be waiting to be tracked out.
