The Mars Volta

On January 1, 2008, The Mars Volta performed "Tetragrammaton" as part of Yahoo! Live Sets, showcasing their complex and eclectic sound during a pivotal moment in their career. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their album "Amputechture" in 2006 and just before their follow-up album, "The Bedlam in Goliath," which was released in January 2008. The live recording captures the band's signature instrumental prowess and dynamic vocal interplay, illustrating their innovative approach to progressive rock and post-hardcore. Notably, it marks a period where the band was still riding the critical acclaim from "Frances the Mute" and pushing musical boundaries with elaborate compositions. The live performance also reflects their characteristic themes of surrealism and metaphysics, which are prominent in their work.
