dude I'm puertorican and I'm proud that a man like Omar came out of our island and made it, gives me a buttload of hope for me as a musician to do the same.
+thevoid99 Dude pop music and fucking post hardcore are not even in the same universe. You cannot even begin to compare them. Obviously At the Drive In is incredible, but you really wanna sit there and try and compare it to some John Legend? Like what the fuck is this
I was lucky enough to see them at Reading 2012, and then in 2017 I was in their unreleased video for "Amid Ethics," filmed at the Nambucca. Gutted it wasn't released, but I got Omar's guitar pick at least...
AMAZING! all you saying it is not played correctly etc. Go and see a live band, perform in one.....do something to feel the energy and passion. It's not about hitting the right notes it's about touching souls. Music should move you and if you can't feel this then retreat under your hipster rock.
This is an old ass comment but, there are places for both aggressive/chaotic live styles and pinpoint accuracy live styles. I don't think tech/death or progressive metal would be as impressive if it wasn't played impeccably live, whereas if atd-i/mars volta or any other post-hardcore band or anything along those genre lines just sat on stage, unmoving, playing each song perfectly would be very unfulfilling.
Thank you so much for recording this, I was at this show! The first time I saw them was also in Pomona I think, with The Murder City Devils. That show changed my life, no joke. Also, bless Jim's cargo pants.
CosmicWaltz7 I saw the Mars Volta in 2008 at Sasquatch. Cedric was trying to rip the cameraman’s camera out of his hands, among many other antics. Out of control. Lol
Until this year (2017) At the Drive In were a vapor, just over. It seemed that a return wasn't happening. Relationship of Command seemed like they were trying to go out on a large scale. But their newest Inter Alia sounds like the perfect comeback album
Que lindo !!!!Kkkkkkkkkķkkkkkkkkkkkķkkkkkkkkkkķkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkķkkkkk... Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
You must realize that Cedric used to berate crowds that were moshing or moving about were sheep. Their fans got the message. Don't move too much or I will call you out.
They both had insane ethics when creating music forsure. Jimi had so much material & songs, but back then artist didn't have the freedom that do now, so Jimi got stuck playing only his hits at shows because his label told him to. Omar is also constantly putting out music & recording his solo albums too. Omar is more of a composer than Jimi before he passed forsure.
They we're such whiney types of guys. Some music was great, don't get me wrong, but not the ones who you can drink with RIP gared w PMFS. Changed my life.
At the Drive In broke new ground. They created music that was unlike anything the world had known at that point. That was the result of the 5 of them making music together. It was magic. The Mars Volta make purposely difficult music in a convoluted effort to be "artistic" and "revolutionary". They try entirely too hard and the result is the aural equivalent of an obnoxious teenager getting a stupid haircut in order to be "different". At the Drive In created blasts of noise that were vital and concise. TMV is masturbatory meanderings that mainly exist to serve Omar's ego. Cedric sounds like he swallowed helium in the Mars Volta, they tried desperately for a decade to replace Jon Theodore who held the whole thing together, and ultimately put out 7579396 albums where they took 10 minutes of good material and stretched it to over an hour and lost the plot on every single one. The Tremulant EP was brilliant. Deloused had it's moments. Then they fell in love with themselves and produced seemingly endless amounts of pseudo Prog Rock "epics" that take 10 plus minutes to go nowhere. Having said that, Sparta mainly produced color by numbers indie rock that could've benefitted from some of the experimental nature of TMV. Ultimately, Cedric and Omar need Jim Ward, et al to keep things from spiraling out of control and to make sure the songs stay "songs" and not "jam pieces". and Jim needs Cedric and Omar to add color and a certain teetering-on-the-edge-of-falling-apart danger, energy, and weirdness to keep from producing run of the mill rock music. But the fact of the matter is it's ancient history. Sum of the parts
+Justin Vavala You are the complete fuckwit. Congratulations. I hope you live in the northern hemisphere so I don't have to step on a piece of shit like you. You'll ruin my shoes.
+Justin Vavala you certainly have the right for your opinion, and it's obiviously not trolling but a real opinion, so ok. but that doesnt mean i agree.
I think first Mars Volta album is great, and has the energy of at the drive-in last record. Just check songs like Ineartic ESP and Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt
How TF is the audience just standing there nodding politely? ATDI could practically be labelled "instant mosh pit starter pack" and all those chumps can do is just stand.
Jim in Cargo Pants, Omar and Cedric in skinny jeans-bell bottoms, the split was inevitable. They always sounded so damn good, though.
You’re really going to reduce the dynamic and chemistry of this group to fashion? ….a bit myopic?
the writing was on the wardrobe wall
😢
lol...those aren't bottoms. Straight leg boot cut.
The amount of people who thought a guy named Dwight Shrute was serious...lol
Being a Puertorican & seeing our flag really made this live performance with such energy that much better.
dude I'm puertorican and I'm proud that a man like Omar came out of our island and made it, gives me a buttload of hope for me as a musician to do the same.
when I say made it I mean he achieved his dreams and form of expression.
@@dyr234 ¿Que bola yo? Always nice to see the island get represented
I can't believe they had a Welsh flag too.
I like how Cedric just hands the microphone to some random guy in the crowd that can't scream for shit.
Don't hate on that guy.
Ha ha ha !
3:10 seems like there's a sick F1 car passing by xD
At the Drive In is the only music I salsa dance to.
I bet catacombs is great for that lol
You can always tell the ratio in which the band will split when you watch live shows. Especially this era.
put this band against everyone that is on top 40 radio right now.... everybody in the top 40 would just fucking die.
+thevoid99 Dude pop music and fucking post hardcore are not even in the same universe. You cannot even begin to compare them. Obviously At the Drive In is incredible, but you really wanna sit there and try and compare it to some John Legend? Like what the fuck is this
Kevin Clark
i know that but don't you feel like music has lost its edge?
+thevoid99 nah man music still has its edge, check out bands like rolo tomassi, gay for johnny depp and the fall of troy
Death Classic
what kind of names are those? no thanks.
+thevoid99 loll
Damn Cedric gets a workout during his live shows
tips for how to work out:
1: put on a ATDI song
2. nothing, thats it.
it would have been such a joy to see these guys live.
+I Am Kriptic totaaallllllyyyy
+Kevin Clark Rock on The Range 2016!!!!!!!
+Gravity Waterfalls Now you have your chance (if you're in the US, or EU)
+Protoskype Ah. Gonna see them in Dublin this Saturday. YEEEEEEEEAAAASHHH.
I was lucky enough to see them at Reading 2012, and then in 2017 I was in their unreleased video for "Amid Ethics," filmed at the Nambucca. Gutted it wasn't released, but I got Omar's guitar pick at least...
SO. MUCH. ENERGY.
ALWAYS AND FOREVER!
Greatest band of ALL TIME!!!! Glad I finally got to see them in 2016 in Hollywood CA!!!!!
Cassidi Collins me too! At enmore theatre in Sydney Australia!!
Inanimate Carbon Rod wow i cant believe i missed it
Likewise! I was extra hyped that they had Le Butcherettes opening. Although that era was stacked with lots of ORL and Teri collaborations
If the MC5 and Fugazi had a child
damn, your just about as right as I am.
@@dyr234 Fugazi is surely the father.
Hey does anyone know what that sample they use before the song kicks in is from?
@@dyr234 2001: a space odyssey probably, they were clearly obsessed with that film during the relationship of command era
@@lynxcore if its from that movie then its hard to find
My knees cried with cedric's last jump D'x

I'm taking you don't know Death Metal, then...

David Ward true if they want to hear it perfectly listen to the album
Are you related to Jim Ward?
@@PaintedSockets umm sir your eye is missing
Just heard this today and...
I'm in love with this band!
😎👊
Love The Fall of Troy, and At the drive-in, best bands in the world
Thank you so much for recording this, I was at this show! The first time I saw them was also in Pomona I think, with The Murder City Devils. That show changed my life, no joke. Also, bless Jim's cargo pants.
That was one of the best tours in Rock & Roll history. 🍺
@@DM-il1hf must've been one hell of a story
Fuck yes murder city devils i saw the same show
Their dancing is priceless.
One of the best shows I've ever seen live
that "earurhwow" at 0:25, its just great
l would like to see music, fused with gymantics and an avante garde interpretation of jumping events, at the Olympics
everytime i hear this band,, the word that comes to mind is just Energy. pure and simple.
Wow that energy o.O
3:10 I had a best friend who told me that this moment was the beat thing ever.
Goosebumps from this music.....shivers 'n chills....shivers 'n chills....
Talk about showmanship! Fucking epic
Thank You.
Seeing them tonight in Dallas!
I can't wait this summer!!!!
I can't wait to see them in my and their hometown for Neon Desert Festival!!
I love them!!!
They live for the coca leaf.
duderdudeedoo1984 smoke DAT shit
Not even close.
@Yerbis Shmerpa All of those tbh lmao. I think they're clean(er) now.
At this point in Cedric and Omar's lives, they were admittedly pretty big into heroin, crack, weed, and LSD.
CosmicWaltz7 I saw the Mars Volta in 2008 at Sasquatch. Cedric was trying to rip the cameraman’s camera out of his hands, among many other antics. Out of control. Lol
Best live shows. I wish bands still rocked out!!!!
same, but instead we get a carbon copy of the same thing that once was original..gretta van fleet, uggh.
@@dyr234 Who is Gretta Van Fleet, and what's wrong with them?
@@CSHorseBobJoe People say they are a Led Zeppelin ripoff (I think)
trust me, shows like this will ALWAYS be going on. we will eventually see videos of this decade's At the Drive In
The last big rock band in the world ❤️
damn right bruv 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
Mars Volta?
I would have put System up there with ATDI, and it's a shame that both flamed out so quickly..
MCR and QotSA were pretty big
Greatest Live Band Ever
probably my favorite youtube video. or the only one i can think of atleast
Last of an era
is there a full set of this?
Amazing band forever
pure art
Weird dudes playing amazing original music.
incredible, these guys are amazing
Got any more of these man? Were you also the person who filmed the Chanbara video? There is a striking resemblance.
Guy picciotto dance
Pretty much...the dance of days!!
They were very fugazi inspired and I can see why because fugazi is incredible.
johnnyscifi there's a Brazilian emo/post-hc called Dance of Days, your comment made me smile.
João Botelho he was talking about the Ian’s book tho
guy picciotto, iggy pop, wayne kramer, rob tyner, la fania.
Would've loved to have been the guy he handed the mic to :)
I would of been like "BEWAREEE!!"
What kind of guitar is Omar playing?
Might be a Fender Toronado. Kind of like a Mustang with Les Paul/SG electronics.
Squier Duosonic
The craziest part about this band is not the music at all. It's how tight their pants are in the year 2000, during the peak JNCO years. Haha.
im getting a sweat on just watching 0_0
pokito loco
Check out the BDO version. Amazing!
They were definitely way ahead those times
Cedric doing Zumba
A hot mess. Brilliant
THAT FRO!
Taino Punk Rock.
Boricua Punk. Also Chicano Punk since Cedric and Paul are Mexican.
If this is the show they played with Jimmy Eat World I was in this crowd.
I believe it was, but 21 years is a minute or two to recall the opener for certain.
Omar is a god
My alpha and omega Influence, and I still got my spine though.
one of my biggest influences next to nirvana and mc5
Mmmmmm so good
Sic AF🤘
what did jim ward scream at the beginning after they start dancing?
+Zerophoenix1 Sounds like "Turn Around"
ΑΝΑΡΧΕΙΑ
How can anyone say the Mars Volta crap is better than this?
cuz its just this without the 3/5ths of crap holding it back
@@growskull knobhead
Does anyone know where and when this show took place?
The Glasshouse in Pomona, California. Probably late 2000.
@@MercurialSilence Thank you!
i believe the correct terminology for this would be DAT FRO :)
destruição total!!
Raw fucking power
what guitar is omar playing with?
Squier super sonic fliped to be left handed
Marc Neilson thx
Watch those dangling prepositions dude.
Until this year (2017) At the Drive In were a vapor, just over. It seemed that a return wasn't happening. Relationship of Command seemed like they were trying to go out on a large scale. But their newest Inter Alia sounds like the perfect comeback album
GLASSHOUSE!
Uproar East Strike West!!
So your saying his singing on the album wasn't already fucking crazy as it is?
nice
Was this the show they opened up for The Get Up Kids? I think it might be... it was at the Glasshouse and it was in 2000.
0:36 muevelo mi gente!
jim 70s hairstyle. Cedric and Omar 80s hairstyle. tony, Paul 90s and 2000s hairstyle.
Que lindo !!!!Kkkkkkkkkķkkkkkkkkkkkķkkkkkkkkkkķkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkķkkkkk...
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Wow, 0.49 that's a Welsh sticker. I liked you already. But now....Beaming.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug...
You must realize that Cedric used to berate crowds that were moshing or moving about were sheep. Their fans got the message. Don't move too much or I will call you out.
People standing by the side with arms crossed defensively....strange body language.
why do people compare Omar to Jimi hendrix they sound nothing alike
You're not going to compare two things that are the same are ya
They both had insane ethics when creating music forsure. Jimi had so much material & songs, but back then artist didn't have the freedom that do now, so Jimi got stuck playing only his hits at shows because his label told him to. Omar is also constantly putting out music & recording his solo albums too. Omar is more of a composer than Jimi before he passed forsure.
+Miceal wilson uhh.....yes....you would. CONTRAST is what you do when they are not the same.
because people are dumb...and most dont know alot about music so they see a guitar player and all they can think to do is draw upon Hendrix.
oh my god!! coachellaaaaaaa
What the fuck did he spit out at the end
He sounds actually good here, hes sounded much worse
Not sure y I feel Carlos Santana needs to throw down with atdi!
E.N.E.R.G.Y🎱
They we're such whiney types of guys. Some music was great, don't get me wrong, but not the ones who you can drink with RIP gared w PMFS. Changed my life.
AFRO....
Had another attempt at listening to the Mars Volta today. This is just what I need to get that shit out of my ears.

dunno if there too packed in but seriously.. when these guys play you should be bouncing off the ceiling and crowd surfing maaaaaaaaaaann
lol so much drugs for this band, awesome though
Did you dub the audio? The guitar parts don't match what's being played and are way in tune. No way was ATDI in tune during this era
Nope. Live to dat, and synced to vid.
amazing. but always out of tune
what is this hahahaha
How TF is the audience just standing there nodding politely? ATDI could practically be labelled "instant mosh pit starter pack" and all those chumps can do is just stand.
@unb77 Tu immagino faccIa meglio!!!!!
Chingones
What a lame crowd.
It's Pomona. Those kids hate life
weak crowd
Hot garbage
