Live is the first officially released live recording from the band The Mars Volta. The EP was released in limited quantities in 2003 and is now difficult to find. Due to this, the EP has become a collectors item among fans, sometimes selling for up to $150 on eBay[citation needed]. The first two tracks were recorded live at the XFM Studio in London, 2003. The last two tracks were recorded at the Electric Ballroom in London on July 9, 2003.
The jam in 'Drunkship of Lanterns' later became part of 'Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus' from Frances the Mute.
