Loved the thoughts you put forth on this album for sure, but no matter what I do or how hard I try, The Mars Volta is just not my thing. I couldn't get through the album. The non stop guitar wanking and noise painfully reminded me of having to sit though this... to get to this... Like I said, amazing and original introduction to an album with just as interesting of a concept, just not my bag.

At the time of that show, those were literally my least favorite and favorite shows ever back to back.
I think that Mars Volta show still holds up as the worst show I've ever seen in my life amd will probably stop me from ever listening to one of their songs again if I can help it, and generally I'm pretty open minded.

Hey at least you tried right! I wouldn't take a stance on a band because of one set though, give some of their produced material try if you are open minded. Their release this year is one of my favorites for sure. I was lurking this site off and on back when that set happened and I am pretty sure they created a lot of haters that day. Haha. I understand, it was weird and something was going on with them that day behind the scenes (no excuses just saying). I still thought that was fucking crazy. They were dicks for throwing shit at the crowd but Thomas Pridgen was a beast. Cedric was going way too fast for the band and they were trying to keep up with him when Goliath is already a fast song. That show was rad for me

I think I'm the only other person here who enjoyed that set. I was down in the pit and was just raging my ass off. We came back up and our group was sitting there with their fingers in their ears.

Haha, I wish I was in the pit. I was on one of the tiers raging with my (then girlfriend) wife and all of the people sitting around us looked at us like we were aliens

Sorry, but yeah, the Mars Volta set at Sasquatch is the worst show I've ever seen by a huge margin. I support all this, but you'd have to tie me to a chair to make me listen to a live album from them. Can't/won't.

Blacksmile- It appears we were standing quite close to eachother for the Mars Volta/Flaming Lips.
Seriously, fuck that spoiled little bitch Cedric. After dodging his multiple loogies, watching him stomp a camera man's face and roll around on stage shrieking like a douche bag, I just about had it and nearly retreated to the hill. I stuck it out and Wayne pulled me gently out of that nightmare, thank god.

The Mars Volta totally harshed my fucking mellow, man. But I totally liked your write up for it.

We'll tie each other to chairs and you'll get a faceful of the Residents in return. Fair's fair.

Residential cherry-popping is happening in P-town in just a couple weeks. I'm putting together an informal presentation for the Burritos for when they're down for the Animal Collective show. You'll notice my Now Playing lists have been pretty single-minded -- that's why. Gotta represent.

As awful and excruciating as it was, I was some how drawn into Mars Volta's performance. I'm not saying I liked it, but I just couldn't look away. Maybe that's their secret power!

I don't see myself in there but I could be below the camera level. I was up pretty close to the barriers. I've got a lot of respect for ORL and I felt bad for him during the whole set, but yeah that Cedric fucker made it a pretty shitty experience.

I actually enjoyed Scab Dates very much. Especially the parts where Cedric shut up. There are some instrumental moments on here that would be pretty fucking insane to see performed in front of your face. Why didn't they place like this at Sasquatch?

^^^ I am not sure what was going on at Sasquatch. There was some tension within the band it appeared and it was right before Thomas Pridgen was "let go". I think it was really shitty timing and Cedric didn't handle it like a professional. I am a Cedric fan and I thought he was being stupid.
I am glad you enjoyed Scab Dates. There are some pretty face melting spots in there. Did you see Get Him To The Greek? That is pretty funny they put a snippet in that movie

I rarely watch movies and when I do I forget about them. Unless it's like, Office Space or something.
But anywhoo; I'm going to that Omar show with you. I need to see this man do his thing without that other angry man crowding his airspace. Which makes, what, 5 concerts we'll be seeing together so far in the coming season? Good times are to be had.

For sure, I was just looking at that show and realized our tix are at a booth. Not sure if we will be able to sit at the show next to you or not (I have never been to the triple door before) but either way blazing before and after is a must
