The Mars Volta

On July 9, 2003, The Mars Volta performed "Televators" live at the Electric Ballroom in London. This performance took place during a pivotal moment in the band’s career, shortly after the release of their debut studio album, "De-Loused in the Comatorium," which came out in June 2003. The album was a critical success and showcased the band's unique blend of progressive rock, jazz, and punk influences, cementing their reputation for energetic and experimental live performances. The song "Televators" itself is noted for its haunting melodies and lyrical themes, which reflect the band's exploration of complex concepts and emotional depth. Captured during this early stage of their career, the live recording illustrates the raw energy and artistic vision that The Mars Volta became known for, just as they were beginning to captivate audiences worldwide.
