Live Video: The Mars Volta (9/24/08) The Tabernacle
The Mars Volta finally made their triumphant return to Atlanta last Wednesday. While the shortness of their set was a disappointment to many, they packed those two hours full of their most rocking stuff. I’m a big fan of all the spacey jams, but both times I’ve seen them before this were chalked full of it, so I was glad I got to see more of a “crowd pleaser” sort of set. They opened with nearly a 30 minute version of “Goliath”. Also, thanks to Clint pinning it down to a Ghostface Killah song, I finally figured out what they are covering in their pre-”Aberinkula” jam. The song is actually “Kilo Is A Measure” by Jimmy Van and Richard Hieronymus. Here’s the set:
1. Goliath
2. Viscera Eyes
3. Jam?
4. Wax Simulacra
5. Ouroboros
6. Eunuch Provocateur
7. Ilyena
8. Cygnus….Vismund Cygnus
9. The Widow
10. Kilo Is A Measure (cover song)
11. Aberinkula
Here is the full video of them performing “Vicera Eyes”:
