A little over six years ago, At the Drive-In, a The Mars Volta side project put on one of the loudest shows ever to be played in New Orlans. Fast forward to Thursday night and The Mars Volta returned to The Orpheum Theater a bit tamer and less ear bleeding, their first time back to New Orleans since 2008 and 2005 for the Orpheum. The Mars Volta 2023 Tour could have easily been titled 20 Years of De-Loused in the Comatorium as the bulk of the material played was from that album. The set was complemented by material off three other releases and oddly enough nothing from this year's Que Dios Te Maldiga Mi Corazón. You can see more pictures here.
