I watch this once a week, and that's barely enough to get by. I just don't want to get to a point where I don't appreciate just how incredible this is.
This is by far the best of them that I know of. Everything is just right. Slow and soft when it needs to feel that way, fast and loud when necessary, just right. The song on the album works, but this here doesn’t remotely seem as long as it is, and is just long enough to work so fucking completely. I have not been here once a week since I discovered it, but am working on being a better person, perhaps, if I am remotely successful in that endeavor, I may see you here weekly.
deantoni is so amazing... not only are his drumskills unbelievably from outer this world, but hes also able to change clothes multiple times during performing a song
Jesus...cedrics vocals are on point here...raw as hell...he really started struggling with a lot of stuff live late in the mars Volta days...but here he's on fire...gives me a woody...long live the mars Volta...and all good music for that matter
I don't think Cedric was ever a bad singer. He just exhausted himself on stage so much that he couldn't hold a note. He's singing fucking beautifully here because he's not jumping around like normal
@@nathangomez4409 And I still wonder how he didn't fuck his vocal chords up to the point of not being able to sing (or even speak) anymore... His voice endurance is impressive, long-term wise
When Cedric sings well he is the best singer I have ever heard in my life.. in my personal taste/opinion. I love the emotionality he brings to his singing
The Mars Volta exists in a totally different part of my mind than music. It's like a drug for me. I just need it. i need it to be able to appreciate other music. It literally expands my mind.
I was there at the Variety Playhouse when they shot the set where D Parks was wearing the hood.got my vinyl signed by all of them in pencil went to the bar next door to the venue with them an low an behold the lead guitarist for Mastodon is laying on the sidewalk pissie drunk...best night of my life👍
Songs like this get me hyped for TMV's possible return. Just because they might not be able to pull that flamboyant, frantic, prog/psych rock of the early records (age comes to everyone, mostly Cedric - we can't charge that extravagant vocal and physical performance of him anymore), it doesn't mean their music can not be less than amazing! In Omar and Cedric we trust!
What I love about Cedric is that he always took risks. Always coming out with difficult vocal melodys and strange ways of singing, even in at the drive-in. Courage is one of the best qualitys an artist can have
I wonder that too. The Malkin Jewel was one of the better tracks from Noctorniquet for me but I love this live version more. Their cover of Broken English is pretty solid too, I do find it strange they don't acknowledge the fact that more than half this video is a cover but whatever.
They've got soo much live footage like this. I'm glad they are finally starting to put some of it out so people can see how good this band really is when Cedric's voice is on...
he's a frontman.... there's more to it than just singing. Cedric is part of the band, and how it sounds. He adds another element to the music, which is really all takes haha Cedric kicks ass as does EVERYONE IN TMV
This is awesome! I saw them do this live in Buffalo around this time when they were doing 'secret TMV shows' (it was marketed as just an omar solo show). I remember seeing their whole show of Noctourniquet stuff and just being utterly confused (they didn't do any older TMV stuff, so the new songs just kind of blended together as one, they did all of these long jams). Having the context, I'd love to go back and see that show again!
this is the great thing about keeping this albums songs short and formatted. Live jams are gonna kick asssssssssss!!! cant wait to see this tour, I hope they do a tour before working on the new ATDI
This song is an amazing collaboration amongst these creative spirits... It's alluring & brings me to a place of solitude... my partner hung himself 2 yrs ago in front of our 3 yr old son... he taught me the magic of love...this song is for Saul...in this life & the next...🗝️🖤🌘
WTF? Where has this been my entire life? Unfortunately, I didn't stumble across them until 2013. But jeebus christ, it just keeps getting better. It's concerning what else I'm missing out on...
ive watched this video probably about 15 times now, but now i usually just skip straight to the 5 minutes mark...the extended jam that goes on til the end is just so provocative, so beautiful, so trippy...makes for some great weed music. these kinds of jams are why i love this band so much
It is so nice to see someone somewhere out there is getting the same from these guys as I do.. Expends the mind and in my case also makes a more appreciative and humble being, enabling me to notice and enjoy the beauty and genius of Volta's music.
Afrocentric doesnt necessarily means having an afro...and egocentric doesnt necessarily mean having an ego...i think he doesnt have an afro even when you think he does....lets go back to not knowing what we think we are knowing here...i dont think we need to think about things like this...
This resonates so hard with Twin Peaks: The Return that it almost feels like Cedric co-wrote for the whole series. If there's any Twin Peaks fans here, by any chance, listen to the lyrics and tell me if I'm wrong.
An absolutely remarkable band to see live. I never miss them when they come to town. This is a great moment capture. Awesome choice for an official video.
Cedric and Omar are absolute geniuses in their own right. Im not suprised they split. They cant stay creatively stagnant. That's what made them leave At The Drive In. And thats whats happening now. Cedric, im almost certain he'll be in another project soon enough. And Omar is well.....Omar. R.I.P. Mars Volta. I was only a fan for a few months, but fuck were you awesome!!
The singer can't sing? music instantly forgettable? C'mon, this is so fucking great... remember, this isn't only music, this is art... and maybe cannot be the best video on YT, but is one of the greatest live that i ever seen... Cedric is amazing! Saludos desde México
I watch this once a week, and that's barely enough to get by. I just don't want to get to a point where I don't appreciate just how incredible this is.
Back again.
@@krisedson4199 keep rocking on dude! Long live mars volta
Exactly
I'll start doing that dude!

Adam Berry when did he start struggling? i thought he clearly got much better as time went on, but just got sick of performing live.
Up Next:

^^^ case in point.

@@nathangomez4409 And I still wonder how he didn't fuck his vocal chords up to the point of not being able to sing (or even speak) anymore... His voice endurance is impressive, long-term wise
@@beto1580 I think that's probably why he ended up switching his style when he went from At the Drive In to The Mars Volta
deantoni has so many wardrobe changes in one song, a true beast of both drums and fashion
nathan sauve Homie can't miss with the fashion statements.
lol - with all these close up shots its possible they edited in some clips taken during a sound test...
The shot of parks in the hoodie was at variety playhouse in Atlanta, I was at the show
Cedric hits some of the best live vocals I've ever heard him muster in this one. proud of him
this may have been his best performance
He can't sing worth shit. You have no idea what makes a good singer, or good music for that matter.
The sound team really did a great job here too. Super good audio.
He always has,. Used to , still does but he used to too .
When Cedric sings well he is the best singer I have ever heard in my life.. in my personal taste/opinion. I love the emotionality he brings to his singing
His greatest gift is the ability to write a coherent vocal melody and build harmony over absolutely anything at all.
The Mars Volta exists in a totally different part of my mind than music. It's like a drug for me. I just need it. i need it to be able to appreciate other music. It literally expands my mind.
Been so disappointed by many, "If you like The Mars Volta check out...." recommendations. There is The Mars Volta and there is everything else.
@@Waxinasss So true
Hopefully you scooped up some tickets
@@Waxinasss try out Hella and Tera Melos. Different styles of rock but I find them every bit as engaging and interesting as TMV.

Look at their YT thumbnails right now
IM WAITING
My man, have I got some good news for you.
@@Delousedinthecomatorium New album in Sept, I think
More people need to step up and let pure creation flow through them like these fellas. This live performance inspires. Wicked raw m8
...this is why you NEVER skip The Mars Volta live if you get the chance, ever...
Why wasn't this version on the album? Hot damn! I'd like The Malkin Jewel more if it were like this.
Cassandra Gemini 2: Electric Boogaloo
I wonder that too. The Malkin Jewel was one of the better tracks from Noctorniquet for me but I love this live version more. Their cover of Broken English is pretty solid too, I do find it strange they don't acknowledge the fact that more than half this video is a cover but whatever.
@@kayeplaguedoc9054 a cover of what?
@@sandersegers8768 The latter half of this video (@5:10 onwards) is a 10 or so minute long cover of the song Broken English by Marianne Faithfull.
Really? I actually prefer the album version. I always loved those Nick Cave-inspired verses.
Oh. My. GOD.
One of my favorite songs by TMV performed at three times the length. Its TOO good.
I tried once, but the cable broke. :’( should’ve put tape around it, as he does. Lol.
even tho they broke up, they'll always be playing for me for as long as im alive.
If you look on the most recent Wikipedia Mars Volta page.. they're thinking about reuniting!
They are recording a new album
@@jmarsvolta How'd you know?
Bro I'm seeing them in June 🔥🔥🔥
Cedric is one of the coolest frontmen ever
this live version just kick ass
Shiiiiiii I JUST WAITING
SOOO NEW SINGLE will be RELEASED 21 June
The fact that this turned out to be a "so long" rather than a "goodbye" made it even better
Thank you so much for doing whatever you are doing rn
Mr. Parks' groove starting 5:10 is so deep. Excellence in simplicity.
Oh good, the Cedric ASMR I have been waiting for
They're back, baby!
THE MARS VOLTA IS BACK??!
Yes!! 🎊🎉😃
Who cares?
@@bernc8202 uhhh
yes goat, Volta is back. Hidde your sons.
FUCK YES THEY ARE!
I keep coming back to this video. :)
1:01 O.O That mic trick is sick! Damn!!!!
Tienen que volver, no jodan son el mejor grupo
Best Version Ever.
I wish this band would come back in some form.
Me too ⭐️
Contradiction.
Mee too
Tan tascados mi rey!
0:24 made me realize I don't know each member of TMV.... and it gets worse when I realized he's Cedric.
Esta es la muestra madre de que una banda se puede reinventar y seguir siendo sinceros con respecto al tipo de música que hacen
Nice backing vox from Omar.
This song is gorgeous and I really love the haunting vocals.
still coming back to watch this. that bass line
holds it DOWN. unsung hero
Adicted to this performance!
They've got soo much live footage like this. I'm glad they are finally starting to put some of it out so people can see how good this band really is when Cedric's voice is on...
I LOVE how Cedric makes every mic and Mike stand his BITCH!🕺🏾🕺🏾🔥🔥💯👌🏾💪🏾🤘🏾🤣🤣🤣
Cedric consistently makes me question my sexuality.
I don't even question it anymore lol
Bixlersexual?
Loving this - wish they got back together.
they just got back together (cedric and omar)
new band called antemasque
I know! How awesome, sounds like they heard my call!
got some good news…
2020
he's a frontman.... there's more to it than just singing. Cedric is part of the band, and how it sounds. He adds another element to the music, which is really all takes haha Cedric kicks ass as does EVERYONE IN TMV
Genuinos. Sorprenden. De lo mejor que se puede disfrutar
Anyone else just start this video @ 5:08 just to hear the slow sexy dubbed-out part? Miss these guys!!!!
Juan, is the glue holding this masterpiece together. Absolutely brilliant.
This is awesome! I saw them do this live in Buffalo around this time when they were doing 'secret TMV shows' (it was marketed as just an omar solo show).

Sounds heavenly jeeeez
What was the approximate date of those shows? I'm trying to track this down on Marble Shrine.
@@ryanhansen2610the one I saw was March 31st 2011
I’m in Buffalo
423 likes......305 views.... TMV IS JUST THAT GOOD.
Why, why did I have to discover themonly after they broke up? Now I will never see them live! :(
this is the great thing about keeping this albums songs short and formatted. Live jams are gonna kick asssssssssss!!! cant wait to see this tour, I hope they do a tour before working on the new ATDI
apparently the new album songs are going to be around 3 minutes each, which I hope they spin out into longer jams on their new your. welcome back!
The Mars Volta, simplemente son geniales 🤯
Damn I didn't recognize Cedric at first.
Damn deantoni can change clothes without missing a single beat, true skills
This song is an amazing collaboration amongst these creative spirits... It's alluring & brings me to a place of solitude... my partner hung himself 2 yrs ago in front of our 3 yr old son... he taught me the magic of love...this song is for Saul...in this life & the next...🗝️🖤🌘
Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. How's your son doing?
Increible performance....esta banda TIENE q dejar los egos de lado y volver a tocar.....ellos son el presente y el futuro del rock.
ALL THE TRAPS IN THE CELLAR GO oh my god they're back time to celebrate
WTF? Where has this been my entire life? Unfortunately, I didn't stumble across them until 2013. But jeebus christ, it just keeps getting better. It's concerning what else I'm missing out on...

Beautiful!
Amazing performance goosebumps all over...
All of then are so incredibly skilled musicians!
Only hours to go to the Amsterdam Paradiso show now! Yeah!
it's happening
LOVE! LIVE! LOVE! LIVE! LOVE! LIVE! LOVE! LIVE!
Wow, that track wasn't one of my favorites off that album but they killed it live! New found respect for that song for sure
SSOOOO AWESUM DAMMIT OUT OF THIS WORlD!!!
Holy shit this goes so Fucking hard.
i really love cedric!!!!
Today Cedric is the best "Singer" Cedric but here he is awesome.
Love the studio version but this is unreachable
It is so nice to see someone somewhere out there is getting the same from these guys as I do.. Expends the mind and in my case also makes a more appreciative and humble being, enabling me to notice and enjoy the beauty and genius of Volta's music.
Fuuuuc this is the best version by far so b.a.
My favorite Mars drummer. Also, nice clean mix
i love screaming "MY ETHER TURNS FLESH TO GRAVEL!!!!"
Deantoni is a cerebral drummer. This album has elevated the band, with the percussion as the dynamic driving force.
This music will prevail through future ages.
Pretty awesome, all in all. Glad to see Cedric working in a range he can handle. I miss Omar's more complex guitar work, but c'est la vie.
it's weird seeing Cedric without an afro
And with a consistent vocal permormance lol
@@beto1580 it was the damn afro
I was on mushrooms and saw orl group and cedric came out with that hair do I was so confused lol
Afrocentric doesnt necessarily means having an afro...and egocentric doesnt necessarily mean having an ego...i think he doesnt have an afro even when you think he does....lets go back to not knowing what we think we are knowing here...i dont think we need to think about things like this...
@@lancelove9700 dat fro tho..
I totally agree. I saw them live a few months ago.. they were so proffesional !!!
15:10 Stop this greatness, now
Hermoso 👏
Omar has a wonderful voice, what a beautiful song
Qué tal joyita!!!!
So Great.
i want to see his face on those high notes at the end... makes me shiver.
This resonates so hard with Twin Peaks: The Return that it almost feels like Cedric co-wrote for the whole series. If there's any Twin Peaks fans here, by any chance, listen to the lyrics and tell me if I'm wrong.
Cedric is a huge Twin Peaks fan

This is just too good for words
"I'm already trying to make it think." Thought when looking at my childhood drawing. I get it. now
rip in peace mares velveeta

rest in peace in peace ? mars volta eternal
gotta dig omar on those hi notes on the "somebody, somebody help me" part.

Cedric, im almost certain he'll be in another project soon enough. And Omar is well.....Omar. R.I.P. Mars Volta. I was only a fan for a few months, but fuck were you awesome!!
Epic TMV!
Amaizing.... Best regards from Poland.
The ending jam reminds me of the ending jam in Cassandra Gemini.

what a great performance, loved to see them live, especially with all the improvised stuff, thanks TMV and thanks for this great upload!
Suerte y exito en lo que venga para la banda, aqui estare para apoyarlos!!! ✌
awesome stuff from the mighty mars volta.fantastic band
Uauu que envidia haber estado ahí para escucharlo fenomenal!!
