It’s been over a decade since prog/jazz/psych rock masters The Mars Volta put out a brand new album – 2012’s Noctourniquet – and launched into a subsequent tour. Thus, this previous Thursday’s (Sept. 22) first present in assist of their lately launched self-titled LP was closely anticipated, and gratefully, their setlist included a mixture of previous favorites and brand-new bangers.
The live performance occurred at The Manufacturing facility in Deep Ellum (in Dallas, Texas). Though it’s a number of hundred miles away from the band’s hometown of El Paso, Texas, it’s as shut as they’ll come to taking part in a hometown present throughout their 2022 stay trek.
Naturally, they debuted a few songs from the critically acclaimed The Mars Volta – “Graveyard Love” and “Blacklight Sunshine” – but the most important shock got here after they opened with one other never-before-played tune: “Vicarious Atonement” (from 2006’s Amputechture).

Past that, quite a few items have been carried out from their preliminary run of information for the primary time in almost – or actually – fifteen years.
As an illustration, their inaugural LP (2003’s De-Loused within the Comatorium) was acknowledged through classics akin to “Roulette Dares (The Hang-out Of),” “Televators” and “Drunkship of Lanterns.” Then, highlights akin to “L’Through L’Viaquez,” “Cygnus….Vismund Cygnus,” “Viscera Eyes,” and “Empty Vessels Make the Loudest Sound” represented later albums.
In fact, The Mars Volta performed the identical sequence on the similar venue final night time (Sept. 23). If these first two setlists are something to go by, it doesn’t seem like they’ll be exhibiting any like to both 2008’s The Bedlam in Goliath or 2009’s Octahedron.
