Notes Although not the first time being able to catch the force of nature that was/is The Mars Volta but it was in the city I worked and lived in and was about a mile from my house. Literally left my office at 3:45PM and 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. The DPA 4061 was slighltly bass heavy as per the microphones but, whatever, they do the trick. Editing, I did the best I could when I did it in regards to tracking but this done a long, long time ago. Up until December 2024, this source as well as the other two I pulled (Aiwa CM-30, IEM) had never been released but now, all are available on DIME. Hope collectors and fans enjoy.
