The Mars Volta
The Mars Volta Live Performance of The Widow in Toronto at Massey Hall
In October 2022, The Mars Volta brought their eclectic brand of progressive rock to the iconic Massey Hall in Toronto, performing 'The Widow.' This live recording is particularly striking as it comes after a significant hiatus in their career; their last studio album, 'Noctourniquet,' was released back in 2012. After a long wait, the band returned with their self-titled album in 2022, which marked a fresh chapter for them, infusing their signature sound with new energy and direction. The contrast between their early and later works makes this performance all the more compelling. Fans were eager to see how they would reinterpret classic tracks with their evolved sound, blending the old and the new in a way only The Mars Volta can. Did they rekindle the magic or forge a new path? That's the beauty of live music; each performance is a unique experience.
