Live at Roadburn is the band's second live album (behind Sonic Prayer Jam), and their third main album overall, released on October 7, 2008 by Tee Pee Records. It consists of four instrumental pieces spread across two CDs, with no track separations on either disc. The album was recorded at the thirteenth Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, the Netherlands on April 18, 2008, and mastered by Paul Gold at Salt Mastering in Brooklyn.The band were unexpectedly moved to the main stage of the festival and played for almost an hour and a half, to many more people than they had expected. Originally scheduled to play to 250 people in the smallest room of the event as the main act, the band were invited at the last minute to instead perform as the last act on the main stage to 2000 concertgoers,as the scheduled band Isis only performed for half of their two-hour slot. Earthless were not aware the performance had even been recorded,] but they had no objection when Tee Pee Records requested they release an album based on the performance,[20] liking the recordings themselves. Rubalcaba described the album as "the most honest representation of [Earthless] that you're gonna get on a record",] and said that if listeners did not like the album they would not like the band's shows.

Following the album's release, Earthless continued to tour. In February 2009, they toured with Witch in North America. The band toured in Europe and the UK with Russian Circles in April 2010, in the US in support of Baroness from November to early December, and in Australia for the first time from December 2010 to January 2011. As Earthless toured, band members became increasingly involved with side projects that took priority over Earthless and Mitchell moved to Northern California, reducing their available rehearsal time and causing the act to enter a hiatus. Some of the material recorded on Live at Roadburn was planned for their next studio album,[20] but due to the act's hiatus, such an album would not be released until 2013's From the Ages, six years after Rhythms from a Cosmic Sky.[4][25][26]

The song "From the Ages" would not be recorded in a studio until the group began the sessions for the album of the same name, and was titled so by Rubalcaba because he felt the song was "archaic and cave man and sort of ancient". He gave it and "Blue" their names only because the songs needed names for the release of Live at Roadburn.

Critical reaction was mostly positive. Jeff Treppel of Outburn magazine rated the album 9 out of 10, calling it "close to an hour and a half of intensive jammage" and "a hypnotic listening experience". Michael Mannix for the North Coast Journal said Live at Roadburn demonstrated Earthless' greatest strength and driving force - Rubalcaba's drumming, which he said did not always come across on the band's studio albums. He noted that the performance of "From the Ages" was shortened by 10 minutes, and suggested this was done for the sake of the vinyl release, but said that it did not impact the album harmfully.[14] Reviewing for the Austin Chronicle, Raoul Hernandez stated "Blue" is a song "which arrives at Cream's crossroads in three minutes and continues for another 17", and described the album overall, which he rated the full 4 stars out of 4, as "One small step for the San Diego trio, one Hendrix Hail Mary ("Sonic Prayer") for mankind". Rating it 7.7 out of 10, the San Diego CityBeat noted that the album would appeal to death metal fans and Deadheads alike, but it would fail to satisfy those seeking a resolution to the music
