Saw an amazing show last week at the National: the Mars Volta, who have reformed and are currently touring (well, that's pretty obvious...) --anyway, this was an excellent show. The band played for over two hours non-stop, a very, very intense and tightly-played set featuring healthy doses of songs from De-Loused in the Comatorium and Frances the Mute. The songs were connected with anarchic free passages of fusion-tinged noise and psychedelia. The lead singer, Cedric Bixler-Zavala, was in fine voice, and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's guitar work was excellent. An overwhelming and transcendent experience!
