For forty bucks you get, The Mars Volta, Gogol Bordello, Grand Ole Party, Peanut Butter Wolf, and Black Lips. On top of that full sets by TMV and GB. Thats a deal my friend.
Kind of laying low on my TMV intake (for the first time in like 3 years). The band has a good month to prepare for the next US tour... I hope they can come over here and give us something good (which I'm sure they will, but how good is the question.)
Squeezing them into a busy late Summer/early Fall of concerts (NIN next week, MMJ later this month) for their show at Asheville next month, anyone else catching any of their shows?
I'm hittin up the Atlanta show with four other friends. Gonna make the four hour trek from Valdosta and back on a school night. Gonna be well worth it.
Since The Mars Volta (more so Omar) is influenced by King Crimson, I'd like to post the setlist of KC's Chicago show. Even though the line-up is of the Adrian Belew-era, there was not enough 70s Crimson at all.

Don't know why I did not post this earlier. I guess I just forgot about it, but a new Omar album on September 9th named, "Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fungus".
Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fungus is one of four solo albums completed in 2001 by OMAR RODRIGUEZ LOPEZ, upon disbanding AT THE DRIVE IN. Simultaneous to launching the massive undertaking that would become THE MARS VOLTA, Rodriguez Lopez (as well as his usual cast of co-conspirators) spent much of that year in his Long Beach studio, Anikulapo, blowing off the proverbial steam resultant from the previous few years of endless touring. Indicative of Rodriguez Lopez's habit of constantly shuffling ideas and compositions amongst his various outlets, the record features tracks that were intended for eventual use by THE MARS VOLTA but reassigned, for one reason or another, and prior to the release of this album via Infrasonic Sound, unknown to the public. Absence was tracked at Doug Messenger's North Hollywood studio only a few weeks after Rodriguez Lopez recorded A Manual Dexterity Soundtrack, Vol. 1 there, and is comparable to that project in both sound and atmosphere. Available on CD and LP September 9, 2008.
I just registered to say, i love the Mars Volta, and I will not accept roo next year without them,and holy crap! someone else from Valdosta with good taste in music!

Forty bucks? WHAT? I would pay 3-4 times that to be there! You lucky quacker! Gogol Bordello, Cut Copy, The Presets, Hercules and Love Affair and a dozen other bands I'd love to see! Gaaaah, I'm really, really jealous.

maybe my expectations were too high but i just didn't get into the columbus show that much. parts were really cool, but the sound mix was pretty awful where i stood. At times it was really hard to pick out omar and you could almost never hear the sax player. Cedric's vocals were sometimes drowned out as well. I know the drummer is talented as hell, but Christ the whole show is like a damn drum solo. Anyway, i just wish i could have seen it at the newport back in january...so maybe i'm jaded. I'll keep listening to their records, but it will take something special for me to want to see them live again.
^I heard the venue in Columbus really kind of sucked, and they cut the show short by one song (Mecca).
Just last night, they shortened the show even from Columbus, by taking out Drunkship Of Lanterns.
I don't know what's up with these guys, giving you in Columbus (from what I've heard) a lackluster show, and following it up with an even shorter set which caters much less to the die hard fan.
Don't care, really. I can't really say what I think of it, as I haven't seen them on this specific leg of the tour, yet (as I said, going to Asheville next week), but from my vantage point they could just put up a pre recording and mime it, and I'd love it.
On some off shoot sites of the Comatorium, they are claming that The Mars Volta played Eunuch tonite in New York. Don't know if its true, but thats what they are saying and the Coma is down.
