Another nice sounding show from Mudvayne this time on tour for the LD50 release. Mudvayne had a very visual image at this time including masks, face & body paint, and different uniforms. The band also used stage names that fit their Zeta Reticuli back story (the band was supposed to be from another planet). The image and stage names have evolved over time to the present day where they now use their own names and have dropped the makeup.

The band is well known for their complex riffs, and their unique playing style. Described as Math Metal the music itself contains "number symbolism", in which certain riffs are used that correspond with thematic elements of the song's lyrics. Bassist Ryan Martinie will go from Funk style slap/pop bass to Flamenco picking, finger tapping, strumming and plucking all in the context of one song. Vocalist Chad was picked by Vinnie Paul of Pantera/Damageplan fame to front his metal comeback band Hellyeah.

Mudvayne play a form of progressive heavy metal sometimes called Math Metal, for it's technical aspects of the riffs themselves. Reviewers liken the complex playing to performing calculus on a fretboard. This recording ripped from my bootleg DVD, catches the band in great live form, able to navigate the complex riff changes and vocal interplay with ease.
