  In November 2002, when The Mars Volta performed their live set at the Electric Ballroom in London, they were still riding the wave of their debut album, "De-Loused in the Comatorium," which was released earlier that year. This album not only marked their entrance into the progressive rock and post-hardcore scenes but also set the stage for their experimental sound, characterized by complex arrangements and ambitious lyrical themes. Notably, the band's performance in London showcases several tracks from "De-Loused," including fan favorites such as "Inertiatic ESP" and "Drunkship of Lanterns," reflecting the intense energy and innovation that defined their live shows during this period. The Mars Volta's unique blend of musical styles and theatrical performance captured the attention of audiences, and this live recording serves as a testament to their early legacy in the rock landscape.
