The Mars Volta   01/23/2008

The Michigan Theater, Ann Arbor, MI
Source IEM: Sennheiser G2 B @ 627.700 > Sony PCM-M1
Media FLAC   22 discs
Notes Although not the first time being able to catch the force of nature that was/is The Mars Volta but this was the first successful IEM pull for me. Was able to catch the tail-end of TMV's soundcheck and secured a good parking spot. Taping position was dead center and I thought the entire performance was quite lively with minimal RF drops. Of the frequencies available from what I could hear during SNDCHK I chose this one as it was the most balanced, if you can believe it. Cedric's voice is high in the mix but there is way less of persistent cowbell clicking in this mix than the others (but it is still there). Generally I do not list specifics for RF but this was many moons ago so there it is. Complete performance. Did my best tracking but it was a while ago so it is what it is. Until December 2024, this source as well as the other two I pulled (Aiwa CM-30, DPA 4061) had never been released but now, all are available on DIME. Hope collectors and fans enjoy.
