All you need to know about the Hammerstein show was that they played Eunuch Provocateur. I couldn't believe it, and yes it was awesome.

They also covered Dillinger's "Cocaine In My Brain" and a Ghostface Killah song which name escapes me.
Definitely a new evolution of the band, so much passion and energy, so unlike most other bands today.

2:07 how do you differ from an artist who you cared for so?
I recommend everyone to listen to The Mars Volta's discography for diverse, exciting, introspective, abstract - poetic music.

i saw the first show of this tour. they really killed it. they are playing shorter but more intense shows now. only like 1 hour 45 as opposed to 2 and half hours. this tour is better than their last one though imo.

I've been watching ATDI live shows since Alfaro Vive Carajo was released to the ACL performance this weekend. Where they have evolved to as musicians is really amazing. Anything these two have ever touched is absolutely golden. The best thing happening in music today.

at the drive in was good ... but this is real music! .... if u wanna hear more nirvana oriented music then watch MTV ... its about time ... someone stepped up and not listen to what tha "public" wants to hear. Like? are you stuck in the past or what?!?!?! e-mail me if u got anything to say. TMV can Fu****g play! no matter what you say. .. these mugs can step up to the plate anytime. Like, really. Zappa of the new generation. Who gives a s**t
