Here's a different cut of Frances The Mute from The Catalyst. I felt like this track is good enough to get uploaded separate from the rest of the show.

This song is the Mars Volta grail. Would've lost my sh-t if I was lucky enough to catch this live in person.
Agreed, this is their top shelf stuff.
Indeed. If they played this and the entirety of cassandra Gemini, I’d be totally okay with it. ❤
This song is my favorite for sure! That ending… MAN!
I saw this performed in Melbourne 2004 - 2005 I think. I hadn't heard this song before the live performance, simply blew my mind. Shame it didn't make the album.
His vocal ability during this time period was so unmatched and unique
True. I think it might've damaged his voice though.
that was the poor diet, smoking, drinking, *drugs*...
@@joejoecolombo That makes sense
Touring every night hitting those notes
This footage is very important
Francis the Mute has always been in my top fav songs of all time. There's no band to date that has given out the energy that this band did
straight up, nothing like them before or since
I still remember the first time I heard it. Was a Saturday, Slacker radio app on my blackberry storm. Something told me not to skip and wait for the bells to finish. Rest is history.
@@moonbasemonki was so hooked on the actual album (just the regular old US release) when it came out, which I later learned had these lyrics in the liner though I lost my CD booklet early on, but yea I also remember when I first heard this song. A friend had ripped a copy of it, I think from the widow single? we were MINDBLOWN. The band already felt super out there and mysterious to me in high school, and the actual title track NOT being on the album I had was wild haha. Plus the song… just amazing. The whole sorta free meter thing towards the end of the song, then how it just explodes into that final section… ugh… it still hits me haha
Try Tool’s live stuff from 1997 on youtube.
I really wish this song was the opener for the album
I always thought of it was a great ender instead
@@bmoneyrancidfan91 it works in both places to make the album a perfect loop
@@bmoneyrancidfan91idk cassandra gemini is like a final boss
Frances the mute was one of the songs due to which my love with Mars Volta began and does not end. incredible live performance! I would give a lot to see this, only in ProShot with perfect audio especially the vocals because Cedric is incredibly good here!
Thank you for this cut)
I also want to thank the people who once recorded and filmed these concerts. Thank You guys very much!!!
Maybe it’s just me, but I really hear Björk’s influence on Cedric’s vocals on this track.
Cedric deff borrowed some techniques from Bjork back in the day.
@@verminj i always thought the bridge on L'via sounds exactly like bjork lol
i feel you on this one, especially during the outro. she would have come up with that melody if Cedric hadn't.
There was a vid on CZcams where ced does the same melody on a Frances song that was on a sugarcubes song.
He did say once that his biggest vocal influence was Bjork!
Wow. Holy grail of live Volta footage. Great edit.
this performance is so fucking good holy shit
They're baaaaaack!
Thank you very much for this remake and audio cleaning!
The tease to find the best song on the album, released as a single iirc. At least they gave it away as freebie for buying the album at Best Buy. Bought 4 that day.
YAAAASSS CALLIIINNNNN AND DEPREIIIIIIIIFFFFFFF
I thank God every day for giving us The Marble Shrine youtube channel. You are my hero.
Frances the Mute currently on Repeat.
Wow I never knew they played this live!!
Amazing!
Great recording!
Thanks for your time and sharing.
Blake Fleming on drums? Also the vocals 😍😍
Yep! This was Blake’s first show with them, after Jon T’s departure
Maybe now that they released this on vinyl again MAYBE there is a possibility to hear it on the 2023 tour 🔥🤞🏼
This never happened....
BUT I SAWWWW YOU LEAVE
AND CRAWWWWL INTO
Wow
Omg
Blake is the man
said no one ever
@@LoveMicahBlue blake is an excellent drummer, what's your problem
@@LoveMicahBlue yeah, get real
@@LoveMicahBlue right. He’s solid, but easily the weakest drummer TMV has had.
Blake was a perfect drummer for Mars Volta, his original group was amazing and that’s why Omar and Cedric wanted to start a band like his and have him playing drums with them. He is super creative and laid the foundation of what the Volta drummer standard is. Jon was an absolute upgrade for the sake of band chemistry and being able to bring Flemings creative and technical ability with some extra bombast. Blake was great and important in the Volta story
Hooooly shit Cedric is on fire here
Uh, Australian fan here, thought I'd heard everything, what recording is this from?!?!
As I remember, it is the unreleased title track (Frances The Mute) of the 2005 album Frances The Mute. Not sure why they decided to not release it with the album, eventually it came out in a DVD I think, but it was never released as a single or as part of the FtM album itself, only as a bonus track in some live DVD.
i would've lost my shit tbh
