The Mars Volta

In March 2008, The Mars Volta was in a fascinating phase of their career, having just released their album "The Bedlam in Goliath" earlier that same year. This album was particularly notable for its intricate soundscapes and lyrical depth, showcasing the band's signature blend of progressive rock and experimental sounds. The live performance captured in Santiago reflects this energy, featuring tracks that highlight their boundary-pushing musicianship. Interestingly, the band was inspired by a Ouija board during the writing process of this album, adding a mystical layer to their work. Just a few months later, they'd dive into touring and recording new material, underscoring their commitment to innovation and connecting with fans. The dynamic nature of their live shows was a testament to their artistry during this exciting period.
