The Mars Volta

In January 2008, during the period surrounding the live performance of "Goliath," The Mars Volta had just released their album "The Bedlam in Goliath" a week prior, on January 29, 2008. This album marked a significant point in their career as it reflected a more focused sound, incorporating elements of heavy rock and progressive music. Interestingly, "The Bedlam in Goliath" was inspired by a Ouija board that the band acquired during their tour and became a thematic element throughout the album. This performance at Yahoo! Live sets showcased the band's energetic live presence, which was a hallmark of their reputation, solidifying their status as innovators in the progressive rock genre. The vigorous musical complexity in "Goliath" exemplifies their avant-garde approach and the ongoing evolution of their sound during this phase of their career.
