As a former addict myself, it hurts to watch this era of Volta. They look like they could literally explode from how jolted they are. It may look nice, maybe it felt good at the time, but when that comes down, it's hell.
@@DeeEfSea I read an article where Omar said they were on crack and heroin as well as lsd around this time. After Jeremy overdosed, they went clean, save for weed
Was blessed enough to see them 5 times. One of those times, my buddy scored us pit tickets at The Greek where they jammed Cassandra Gemini in its entirety. Fuckin amazing!
Mars Volta is a mix of everything great thrown at you at light speed. Absolutely amazing band from the singer to the drummer. Passion, groove, and talent unmatched.
Becoming psychic friends with Dionne Warwick and starting a gym to impress Pink... I've seen/been some extremely high and mentally disorganized folks in my time, and those brainwaves are 🤯
God I miss this band. I saw them when I was in high school in 2003 at a small club in Boston and to this day it was one of the most memorable music experience of my life.
totally, that punchy fingerstyle is where it's at. I first saw them on the tremulant tour, right by her side of the stage, just gawking like "who IS this lady???"
I used to listen to a bootleg audio recording of this over and over (before they released any albums)...so nostalgic to watch it but w/ a visual for the first time.

Man everything about how old this video looks is wild lmao. This is from 2002 and it looks basically exactly like a TV broadcast from the early 80s. Compare to a video from just a few years later, like say Radiohead’s In Rainbows From the Basement which looks like it basically could’ve come out today and looked completely fine.
@@jbaer0 true; it’s also the title cards that give it that look too though, it looks like whatever broadcast made this used video editing software (or hardware????) literally from the 80s lol
I probably shouldn’t, but I love cedric’s untrained voice. The sounds that come out of him sounds so much more...relatable, idk. P.S. this is my favorite performance. EVER!
Joan Saag you don’t know how much my heart sinks every time I think about him and this bands era he always will live in their sound even in later albums you can see his influence down the line
I can see why now he chased the dragon to the grave. I'd be pretty down on myself as well if I didn't even get to share the same stage as my fellow bandmates
stephentherarabear yeah man I know these guys def parted ways with it after jer passed away and after that all those loses of friends is one thing that fuels the band and keeps their spirit alive idk I can always feel Jeremy presence in the records.... insane
It was never meant to just be Omar and Cedric as a pair. Jeremy was their third, always intended to help write the lyrics and song structures. No one else was ever allowed to do that, except maybe John frusciante. When he died the band almost split.
Cedric lifted about 90% of his dance moves from guy picciotto, who in turn, lifted his from james brown. Third generation dance of death squad...squad up!!
i remember downloading this shit off soulseek back in the day. or maybe the comatorium lol. its funny, finding and hoarding all the volta vids you could find was like a full blown past time. now its like whatever
soulseek was great! what a classic, and perfect for the time. i was somehow always able to find recordings of shows i had been at, often from the person who recorded it! the internet was so much better back then, before everybody and their mothers were all over it.
The audience seems a bit surprised, askin, Hu, whats that? I have to apologize for the crowd, we can do it better.This was a TV Produktion(Easter-Rocknight), with a lot of other bands like Jimmy eat world, Heather Nova and so on, so I think lots of people there couldnt deal with MV ha ha ha. Well in fact, if Cedric would les run around the stage, he could sing better. It was a very dirty, raw performance at that time. Like the audience, they also can do better :-)
"Echale semilla a la maraca pa que suene" which is a famous line used in salsa music, I believe it originated in the song "El Raton" by Cheo Feliciano. It literally translates to "Put seeds in the maraca so it can make noise." A saying to hype people up, essentially.
@@Kal-EL_Volta He can (or could), but his stage presence (jumping, dancing) ruins the air support necessary to hit those notes - so he screams a lot insteat of singing. Long-term wise, it ruined his voice. Now, he has a much more consistent vocal performance (he doesn't move the same way on stage anymore), but he never used his high range as he did in TMV.
That is Jeremy Ward. He was their sound technician and vocal operator. He created many of the soundscapes heard on Mars Volta's debut "De-Loused in the Comatorium" and died one month prior to the release of the album due to a drug overdose.
Alex Collins That's a contributing factor but look at his face during the interview portions. He's clearly been doing something. Not necessarily crack but definitely something
I wonder what percentage of ATDI fans got into Mars Volta because I just couldn't do it and still can't! ATDI was a masterpiece and love Cedric's vocals but just not for me I guess!
@@jayafteradam1419 well yeah but the fact that he was running and jumping affect someway :p but aside that the drummer bassists and keyboard are the shit in a good way

@Johnny Toast why not
their style was untouchable for what was happening in this era
As a former addict myself, it hurts to watch this era of Volta.
They look like they could literally explode from how jolted they are. It may look nice, maybe it felt good at the time, but when that comes down, it's hell.
I was gonna say that Cedric's singing seems like an afterthought seeing him jump around like that and ^ this explains a lot.
What do you think they are on? I always assumed that it was lsd
@@DeeEfSea I think it's speed here.
@@DeeEfSea I read an article where Omar said they were on crack and heroin as well as lsd around this time. After Jeremy overdosed, they went clean, save for weed
Thank god, Omar and Cedric got clean and keep kicking ass. RIP Jeremy
the early days always had it all.. energy, punk,dub and experimental.. this era was a mixture of atdi, defacto and outer space..
I don’t think these songs could physically be played any faster. Holy shit Jon Theodore is a fuckin mad man.

Inertiatic sounds as if they didn't rehearse prior to playing. I love it.
thanks, best band to walk this planet
Def one of em!
Mag Pie yes after the Beatles and Elvis sure;>
beatles and elvis are vanilla bean to this band but thats one mans opinion, Omar is probably the best rock guitarist alive fo sho.
slight overreaction. Still one of the best bands of the 2000s
The beatles are posers compare to mars volta.
Bass player girl is pretty hot. She wasnt in the band for long. Her playing sounds spot-on too!!

"pink if you're out there, i've been lifting weights, and i'm ready to start my own gym"
lol, cedric is smooth
ironic? considering eva ended up playing for her later on
I remember this when it came out, I got to see Volta open for A Perfect Circle one the best shows I've seen.
26 minutes of pure gold :’))
Jeremy Ward was a genius.

Respectively or randomly?(?)
@@bmoneyrancidfan91 drugs they were doing?.....yes

Im sure they were also dipping in
Early Volta was the best Volta
that crowd didn’t know what was going on, these dudes were way ahead of the times. sweet video
I love TMV, but I don’t know about ahead of their times. Haven’t you heard Magma or Mahavishnu Orchestra?
I appreciate this lots because i think it's the only version around but I wish it didn't sound like a fanmade boot.
i love how Jon Theodore gets nervous with Cedric hehehe
Cranial Bleeding. Leaches Train The Living. Rattling the laughter hinges splintering inside. Bludgeoned to a saddle rang the cloister bell inside.
wicked awesome performance , setting it off with >Cut that citY< on the second

At the drive in, mars Volta, best bands ever when I was a kid growing up
Only footage I've seen with the female bassist. Seems like she holds it down pretty tight. Wonder what happened
richie b eva gardner. She plays for pink now lol
If I’m correct I think her dad had some health issues so she left to support him.
"Cedric I swear I have never seen that show." 9:02 - Cedric
Cedric lifted about 90% of his dance moves from guy picciotto, who in turn, lifted his from james brown. Third generation dance of death squad...squad up!!
I always thought that from day one. Since the discovery of ATDI in the summer of 99. Skronk angular guitar riffs lifted too.
LSD can't seriously be the only reason Cedric can hella dance
Nah heroin too
the crowd is in some "what the fucking is going on" mood
i remember downloading this shit off soulseek back in the day. or maybe the comatorium lol. its funny, finding and hoarding all the volta vids you could find was like a full blown past time. now its like whatever
soulseek was great! what a classic, and perfect for the time. i was somehow always able to find recordings of shows i had been at, often from the person who recorded it!
the internet was so much better back then, before everybody and their mothers were all over it.
The Mara Volta, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Jendrix and Tabletom are the best forever.
You should also find some of the obscure gems that influenced all of those.
Que pinche desvergue traian estos vatos, Jon Theodore rifadisimo.

Concertina is so effing good!!
the keys at full blast volume!
Thats why i bought the TREMULANT ep
i can't imagine how confused these Germans were when Cedric spoke Spanish

Good times
Can anybody tell me what stack Omar is using?
Gavin C. Morrison orange
19:00 please tell me someone knows what Omar is screaming in Spanish? Because my god it's beautiful
He said or I only can understand "... para que suene esta noche...". I don't know how to say it in english but is something like "let's rock tonight "
"Echale semilla a la maraca pa que suene" which is a famous line used in salsa music, I believe it originated in the song "El Raton" by Cheo Feliciano. It literally translates to "Put seeds in the maraca so it can make noise." A saying to hype people up, essentially.
I remember seeing them in 2002 without prior knowledge of them and thinking what in the holy hell is this
Un sunami de sonidos!!
Cedric you had one job to do
At 17:50.; "Feel the shake of the opium Poppy". It seriously sounds like that as apposed to "opiate copulation".
He does say opiate copulation but pulled the mic away from his face which cuts the word off
And 20 years later they are playing with Eva once again 👌
There are some bad vocal moments here but 8:40 is pretty hilarious
Oivalf Music can cedric sound like he does on his albums in the studio, or his range artificial?
dude i literally almost just pissed my pants from laughing. holy SHIT 8:50 my fuckin sides are in orbit

Unfortunately not. This is the longest version floating around.
RIP. Still waiting for that vault to open tho :D
Fear of the light for the longest time all I ever saw was Inertiatic from this show. I'm amazed we have this
thanatossassin totally, but knowing there's a lot of equally amazing Volta content out there is very teasing.

Holy shit...is that Mark Lanegan at 14:28? Definitely looks like him.
That is Jeremy Ward. He was their sound technician and vocal operator. He created many of the soundscapes heard on Mars Volta's debut "De-Loused in the Comatorium" and died one month prior to the release of the album due to a drug overdose.
He doesnt look anything like Mark Lanegan
4:06
Cedric was so hot back then
Sbes Cedric looked like he was smoking crack
John Ryan He looks like he skipped smoking the rock and instead just became the rock. Can't argue with these kind of results though
John Ryan how because he was skinny?
Alex Collins That's a contributing factor but look at his face during the interview portions. He's clearly been doing something. Not necessarily crack but definitely something
Alex Collins Plus it was back when Jeremy Ward was still alive and they've admitted that was kind of the hay day of their drug usage
Épico!

Que publico mss frio
god its sad to see how much cedric has fallen (physically) dude looks fucking amazing here.
it's called uhh... growing old?
This is so punk rock, aka shitty but fucking awesome haha
I wonder what percentage of ATDI fans got into Mars Volta because I just couldn't do it and still can't! ATDI was a masterpiece and love Cedric's vocals but just not for me I guess!
Thomas Rainbow I found TMV first then ATDI love both. And this is raw
When they split I went with Sparta. That seemed more of a natural progression IMO. I guess I just really love Jim Ward
fuck me im middle aged somehow... how can this be 18 years ago faaack

Good lord,Cedric, you’re really fucking up the lyrics. Energy is great but does it have to sacrifice the overall performance?
