Based on the clothes he's wearing the Interview is from Coachella 2002 (which Volta also played). The performance is from 2003. So he aged from 19 to 28 in 1 year.
What I love is how precise, articulate, and specific omar is on the records, but live he makes incoherent and jummbled noise, which might upset people but it really contrasts both their skills on stage and in the studio, with their live sets (just like this one) to be all about energy and soul.
I saw them live in 2010, really wasn’t into them anymore bc Pridgen had already left and had never been impressed with their live sets I saw online but I figured might as well go see them anyway. They got about half way through their 3rd song (Roulette Dares) when Omar just stopped playing and walked off stage. Everyone stopped and they didn’t start again for about 20 minutes after they coaxed him back. I always figured he was a lame douche bag just from what I read online but that more than cemented it.
Thomas Pridgen blows their other drummers away, hands down! Goliath is almost overshadowed by his intensely precise percussion and energy, especially when they played those songs with Thomas live!!!
Blake Fleming wrote all the drum parts to Deloused. He toured with them for Amputechture after Theodore left and that was the best two Volta shows I've been to even considering that the one in Vegas for Vegoose festival the audience couldn't hear Cedric at all the whole time. And I've seen the volta a lot with various drummers.
@@joelglanton6531 Jon performed on the studio album all drum parts. Blake contributed and wrote for the EP only. Jon was a major driving force for the MV sound.
@@joelglanton6531 This is true. It's on Wikipedia bro. Jon performed on Deloused and Frances the Mute. The original EP with Flemming was only three songs, and the songs used from that EP are much longer on the album.
OMG I always remember when you guys came to Phoenix and we're walking my nephew introduced me to your music and we're walking and then you guys were barely loading up on the bus and I was wearing my Mars Volta hat and he had his shirt on and you guys waved at us you guys need to get back together too much talent to pass on by
material shot on 35mm movie film should be around 5400 x 3600 pixel, the problem back then was the lack of high capacity data storage and the bandwith required to stream it wasn´t really available aswell
I was there for the weekend show, back then it was only Sat and Sun. This was when Coachella used to be Indie and not the hype overrated show it is right now!!! I'm glad they posted this video it just brought me back so many good memories, and there were a lot more performers aside from them that did an outstanding job that same weekend, even the Blue Man Group kicked a** lol!!!
I was there in 2004 and it was absolutely incredible with one of the best lineups I have ever seen in a festival. I believe Coachella was a fairly newer festival at the time, having only been around for about 4 or 5 years. Since then, unfortunately I think the festival devolved a bit, but I haven't really paid much attention to it anymore of late to be honest.
"ok guys, when everyone star to play, it means the song has started, and when everyone stops, it means the song end." TMV has made a career doing that.
@@jacobwilson7030 Saw them in 2009 and could not disagree more. Though this performance here wasn't near as good. This seemed like ATDI playing on The Tonight Show etc. all over again, except not near as epic.
@@marth_6126 I saw them in 2010 after Pridgen left and it was horrible. It didn’t help in the 3rd song of the set Omar just walked off the stage for 20min
@@jacobwilson7030 That sucks. I saw them with Pridgen. It was just the Volta (no openers at all), and they played for about an hour and 45 minutes straight. Incredible. Guy next to me said something like "That's kind of disappointing usually they play for another hour".
I would expect from energy from the crowd during a set such as this, but to each their own. Also couldn't see the entire crowd. 11 years since this show and people are still talking about it! ;)
I'll never forget the first time I saw Cedric climb the scaffolding! Always thought they were on an insane amount of drugs but from what I've learned recently it was just weed. Lol
i just watched the 2023 coachella with k-pop and over produced performance and came back to this to try to figure out if there's something wrong with me. Why do i like watching a guy with a cut up shirt dragging himself on the floor to seemingly chaotic music? I mean clearly its better. But trying to understand why is odd. I mean the best I can come up with is its more spiritual.

bullshit. early coachella crowds were mostly hardcore music nerds. things didn't start to get watered down until the late 00s. these people knew what they were there for.

They were ahead of their time my friend, Light-years ahead of us. Lol
🤣🤣🤣
If this clip exist that's mean there's a lot more from this gig ..WANT IT ALL !!!
I want to see this and the ATDI performance from 99 at Coachella
Somebody uploaded the full audio from the show in pretty good quality ruclips.net/video/ASXovOJekCc/видео.html
Probably wouldn't be that hard to track down... A couple nice words and a little social engineering goes a long way these days
@@billepperson2662 what’s your rate?
nope,thisis from the coachella doc. thats all they put on there
Omar was 28 in this and he looked like he was 19 in the interview.

He did look like a teenager

Exactly. Live it’s all about raw, unfiltered energy; the studio is for the surgical stuff.
Agreed it’s almost hard to believe it’s the same guy
His sound stays pretty chaotic and unorthodox in recordings, the more articulate guitar work back then was more so from Frusciante.
@@T1fixFelix True but Omar still wrote the music.

I’m here to say I saw them two nights ago 10/21/22 at the Palladium in LA and they keep this same energy… 19 years later. Love these guys so much.
Oh my god! Really? You so lucky
I was front row for this. Amazing show.
2003 was their prime, they really peaked here. And I need more fucking footage at this quality right now.
0:01 guy was prepping for COVID before it was cool
Cedric has so much stage presence it's unnatural
The guy who mixed the sound of this live needs to get arrested
This video gave me all the feels.. 🥹
golden age of TMV, Jon Theodore was their best drummer for sure!
Thomas Pridgen blows their other drummers away, hands down! Goliath is almost overshadowed by his intensely precise percussion and energy, especially when they played those songs with Thomas live!!!

live is when they were really able to shine and improv as individual players. It was a very special experience to see them
YES!
Dang 1080p in 2003!!
was probably shot on film
I was so confused at first haha
man you're saying this like 2003 was 80 years ago
