1 not in support of Red Hot Chili Peppers
2 show notable due to an incident involving a person in the audience throwing urine to the stage, prompting Omar Rodriguez-Lopez to smash his guitar and leave the stage, followed by the rest of the band with Cedric Bixler Zavala saying the following to the audience before leaving: "I will pay $100-1,000 to somebody to find the person that's throwing urine up here. I will give you free merchandise and a lifetime supply [of tickets] to a Mars Volta show. Find that person and kick his ass for me, bring me his head-- and we'll be friends!"
3 with Red Hot Chip Peppers and notable for Cedric Bixler Zavala's absence due to voice illness. The set consisted of over 47 minutes of instrumental material, including a lengthy cover of the Pink Floyd composition "Interstellar Overdrive".

Pink Floyd English rock band

Pink Floyd were an English rock band formed in London in 1965. They achieved international acclaim with their progressive and psychedelic music. Distinguished by their philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, extended compositions, and elaborate live shows, they are one of the most commercially successful and influential groups in popular music history.

Interstellar Overdrive semi-improvised instrumental piece by Pink Floyd

"Interstellar Overdrive" is an instrumental composition written and performed by Pink Floyd. The song was written in 1966, and is listed on their debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, released in 1967, clocking in at almost ten minutes in length.
