I grew up with Metallica's guitar harmonies, Pantera's heavy riffs, Dimes unprecedented solos and Slipknots aggressiveness. Not to mention dozens of other bands. Then SOAD came along. The vocals harmonies of Dan and Serj were never experienced elsewhere. Just phenomenal, and still are today.
Definitely unparalleled. They've been in my life so long- I listen to more jazz and folk at this point in my life than heavy rock or metal. But I still listen to SOAD lmao.
Seen them live around this time best live band I have seen his singing was on point the whole show was on point Darren was running everywhere so much energy
Because they're still young at this show. At shows in recent years they're older and Serj can't hit the high notes so easily anymore. It's just ageing and happens to all of us.
Despite the technical problems, I think this is one of the best live shows ever. I mean, they even made Daron's guitar not working interesting. And obviously their energy throughout is stellar.

@@vagamer4311 Probably. Now that he's gotten maturer. It's been almost 20 years since this live performance - all SoaD members are now in their 40's, excluding Serj who's in his 50's. A bit of a shame really, since if he was younger he could still regularly do his awesome growls and screams. With practice he might still be able to, but we'll never know if SoaD never releases another album.
I have no idea how you are supposed to get to the Nederlands on your own. 😅 And also I don’t think that a 10 year old would really survive a SOAD concert….
It's actually a poem by Serj from his book Cool Gardens called Nations. Although the book was released after this show he likely had the poem already written as opposed to making it up on the spot during this show.
nation come together as one sending candles in the sun the candle burn inside his head his wax mind finally dead his wax mind they all had learned the secrets of those that burned in the valleys with a gun they still didn't reach the sun nation come together as one send the children to the dessert let them frizzle away and fry but all in their own mothers eye we can say or do most anything as long as we're allow to think let's make an example of them all take the institution down to a fall, now nation come together as one
I dont think anyone has noticed. But when his guitar fucks up, he walls into the corner at the right side, and shows his as at 20:27 lol on the right side
Serj: Singing well John: Keeping the band together, as usual Shavo: Solid, pumping the crowd up. Daron: High enough on enough coke to kill a Clydesdale
Sorry to disappoint guys, but it's actually all 3 at once. It's one of the most impressive performances live because not only all of them are fucked but their instrumental front man is literally FUBAR, as seen on the small clips people pointed out. Notice that everytime one of the band mates fazes out into space they instantly remind each other to wake the fuck up and play. It's beautiful. To this day I haven't seen anyone play live as FU as Daron here in front of a huge crowd. Takes guts to do that. Also it was the first and only time Serj came out with initiative to start out Bounce in a cool way and he was so pissed off at John for not starting the song, he never did it again 😂 From Lowlands onwards Daron always gives the que and starts the song. You can find the death stare at around 50 min into the show.
John always has the serious look on his face. Shavo always is enjoying himself. Serj is always a beast of a vocalist he's been for years. Daron is hyper and chaotic at every show. Just great to see this uploaded.
2001 was a real good year for music.All the top bands pushing the nu metal scene just seemed to be in their prime creating their best work and performing their best shows. I miss the early 2000s when music was exciting everything seemed original and you couldn’t wait to buy the album
Check out Tallah of you liked the nu-metal scene. Singer is crazy awesome and theatrical. Sounds are definitely reminiscent of korn/ slipknot, but still fresh and different. I can dig it
I just saw them a month ago and they were so awesome! The show was pushed back twice, once for Covid protocols, and then because Serg got Covid, but it was worth the wait. They were supposed to play with Faith No More but Mike Patton cancelled and we were stuck with three other band, one we missed all together, one that was ok, and one that we hated and went to eat while they played. I'm 42 and have been listening since the beginning.
John doesn't get enough credits for his drumming. He literally keeps the whole band together. he is awesome edit: thanks for all the likes! I wasn't expecting so much! :)
@@CarsCatAliens I saw them 02.04.22 so less than a month ago in Los Angeles and they sounded awesome! Put together, Sergs' voice was good after Covid, the guys were all playing together really well. Sometimes when you go to a live show and a band sounds nothing like a studio album it's a let down but it was a good show except for some of the other trashy bands playing with their trashy fans taking seats they didn't pay for.
35:39 WOW. People go on about his screaming etc. What is getting overlooked is how much better his clean voice was back them. This is pure chest voice. Impressive.
this is so epic. SOAD is rock solid. A 4 piece band that has not 1 but 2 members that can scream and sing legit. Not to mention the instrument ability. If i had a time machine, this show would be top 5 for sure.
38:43 “We’re heading toward a self-proclaimed environment of injustice, disease and death. Be aware.” - Serj Tankian With everything going on in 2020, that really spoke to me when he said that. This band could write an entire album about 2020. It’s too bad they can’t settle their differences.
I saw them for my first time in October 19 2021 in Oakland arena, California and I got the chance to see them again for my second time last Saturday night August 19 2024. In the San Francisco Golden Gate Park along with a 50 thousand people! I can’t fucking describe how blessed I feel for be able to experience those two amazing concerts during my lifetime. Because This guys are aging so well like a real good fucking wine 🍷! I hope that I can get to see them again before I die. ❤
I won’t forget System of a Down’s energy they put through their performances. It’s like the 2000s never died. All the bands like Korn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, etc were starting to get popular 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@justinecamp7922 Oh yeah trashy, let us know what it's like all the way up there on that fuckin high horse, chief. I'd rather be trashy than whatever the fuck you claim to be lmao.
18:38 that scream was one of the bests, if not the best scream by Serj, Maybe Daron had shouted a little, but if it was just Serj, then anyone should bow to a scream of such magnificence.
Andrei Tudose Ok! Just asked cause I read a book about the band a long time ago, and I remember reading that they even had a physical fight once. Don't remember who they were, maybe Daron and John.
the power I've gained through listening to these guys ..no negative suicidal thoughts.. they make u opposite thinking... just wanna headbutt the coffee machine instead
I downloaded this concert via limewire back in 2002. I was in 7th grade and I’m listening to this now years later and it’s never made so much more sense to me.. To me this is one of the best concerts ever. I wish I was there to experience it live.

Seeing Daron repeatedly sing “we’re on drugs” while his pupils are the size of a dinner plate is so matter of fact.

Yup. I miss this bad so much
Ya he's tweeked out lol

@@ImDiggingGraves LMAO I've still got some old pictures from the late 90s from a SOAD fan site of them all doing drugs. Noob System fan
I grew up with Metallica's guitar harmonies, Pantera's heavy riffs, Dimes unprecedented solos and Slipknots aggressiveness. Not to mention dozens of other bands.
Then SOAD came along.
The vocals harmonies of Dan and Serj were never experienced elsewhere. Just phenomenal, and still are today.
i can relate to that, except Pandera i listen to Sepultura. But SOAD sound, music... its a whole different level.
@BassJunkeeZ it's so different yet so good. Unlike the others they didn't have some specific sound other than them just harmonizing with each other
Definitely unparalleled. They've been in my life so long- I listen to more jazz and folk at this point in my life than heavy rock or metal. But I still listen to SOAD lmao.
Hats off to Dan! Haha, we know who you mean!! Well said!
Can we talk about how on-point Serj's voice is in this? Almost as clean as the studio version! Amazing!
Seen them live around this time best live band I have seen his singing was on point the whole show was on point Darren was running everywhere so much energy
2000-2004 he was badass. His voice and moves impressive.
Better than studio
Aliens talking to each other hey look what these creatures are up to over here oh hell oh how are you bang.
Because they're still young at this show. At shows in recent years they're older and Serj can't hit the high notes so easily anymore. It's just ageing and happens to all of us.
Despite the technical problems, I think this is one of the best live shows ever. I mean, they even made Daron's guitar not working interesting. And obviously their energy throughout is stellar.

Daron’s guitar performance & sonic dynamics impressed me most, while Shavo & John gave him & Serj the rigid backbone to showcase themselves.

I loved how after the guitar started working again, they INSTANTLY go into a lil freestyle bit without even looking at each other... the chemistry!!!
I can tell you rn the reason that guitar stopped working was the heavy interference of drug use
Despite the technical problems, I think this live Show maybe the main reason they will invent time travel some time.

He is better than Ray Luzier. For Sure.
John's a tight drummer, I think he is what holds the whole band.
I would pay good money to go back in time and be at this show. This is peak SOAD!
They were waaay better in the 90s watch the whisky go show if you don't believe me, Daron CAN play accurately lol
They touring now...they heading to Chicago first
I can hear the bass so perferctly, shavo is a godly bass player
He's ok, like skill-wise on his instrument he is fine, but he wrote a lot of great songs
Shavo seems like a really cool dude
I LOVE IT WHEN THE BASS IS LOUD!! its so annoying to see him grind so hard but u cant hear shit. him n serj r my faves

Daron: 🎶 We're on drugs. We're on drugs. Weee're o-on druuugs! 🎵
Also Daron: People think we sing about drugs!
John doesn't get enough credits for his drumming. He literally keeps the whole band together. he is awesome
edit: thanks for all the likes! I wasn't expecting so much! :)
Asi es, el mantiene las canciones a flote
He’s by far the best musician on that stage. Without him this would be so ridiculously messy.
@@sharinglungs3226 to be fair without any of them there'd be a lot missing
Never saw them live, but I heard they aren't so put together with live performances. And that's okay..
@@CarsCatAliens I saw them 02.04.22 so less than a month ago in Los Angeles and they sounded awesome! Put together, Sergs' voice was good after Covid, the guys were all playing together really well. Sometimes when you go to a live show and a band sounds nothing like a studio album it's a let down but it was a good show except for some of the other trashy bands playing with their trashy fans taking seats they didn't pay for.
God, I miss old and classic SOAD! The intro is pure genius!
+SalDOWN Fox :D
Actually it's a song from scars of brodway (band of Daron Malakian and John Dolmayan)
Enrique Gámez what song?
Enemy
Quacky, wacky, and funny! I miss the old SOAD but at least they are still together. Looking forward to their live performance in October of this year.
3:44 I love when he acknowledges both sides of the audience , beautiful sound and art they create
The audio quality of this show is better than 60% of live recordings today, thank you Dutch audio engineer
Well thank you very much Wassman. It was all my pleasure. One of my first live festival mixes in fact!!!!
Dutch qualited
@@hanssietubewait are you serious? Did you actually do this?
Yeah😊
Live to 2track mix on a SSL 4000 desk in a broadcastmobile
0:26 I believe him. Pupils dilated AF
Could not even see them,maybe the drugs were a bit overdosed😂
19:32 you can hear the laugh of Serj when Daron's guitar stops working
XD
35:39 WOW.
People go on about his screaming etc. What is getting overlooked is how much better his clean voice was back them.
This is pure chest voice. Impressive.
Sucks his voice is soo different now.. missed my chance to see them at their best 😔
@@LILbaNkz1990 he sounds like squidward now
@@metalmike6668 That's what a lot of the metal singers sound like now. Even Jonathan Davis. It happens.
@@MG-ih6po ain't that the truth . jonathan still puts forth the effort and loves what he does tho so his performances are still better.
@@metalmike6668 for sure
saw them live back in the day, couldn't move my neck for a week afterwards.... worth it
When Serj's voice sounds exactly like the record, AMAZING!!!
this is so epic. SOAD is rock solid. A 4 piece band that has not 1 but 2 members that can scream and sing legit. Not to mention the instrument ability. If i had a time machine, this show would be top 5 for sure.
i literally watch this set about 5 times a week why is it so good
EXACTLY
thats it?
i rewatch their armenia concert on the regular
Looks like Daron is having fun
43:11
Lol!! 😂😂
43:31 John as well
9:43 damn Daron's voice sounds phenomenal
Damn yes
Also at 16:54 😳😳
@@bro5019 LOL XD YES. Classic.
@@bro5019 oh yea, lets not forget about that one
Absolutely! love the interlude rendition of "When the Smoke Is Going Down" by scorpions.
A band where all the members are the frontman. What a time to be alive!
Literally, one of the reasons I love this band

Thank YoU!
Oh fuck where's Soil? I'll find it
No suggestions? Are you high
So high they have become the Aerials they sing about
ahaha best comment I've been seen in a while
but this is on television. we all know televisions shouldn't be in the air
Ive allways thought that Aerials was about the difference between people
@@EmptyRoni Aerials is about nothing. Literally, nothing. Shavo even outright stated this.
This was before that album
2:30 so a black hole is the heaviest thing in the universe?
I must know the song nameee

38:43 “We’re heading toward a self-proclaimed environment of injustice, disease and death. Be aware.” - Serj Tankian
With everything going on in 2020, that really spoke to me when he said that. This band could write an entire album about 2020. It’s too bad they can’t settle their differences.
Agreed. This political atmosphere is ripe for material for them, but like you said, they'll never set aside thier differences. One can hope though.
But im.feeling better
They made three new songs last year!
It was the drugs
@@Carolinao8 three? i only knew of Genocidal Humanoidz and Protect the Land. what is the third??
I saw them for my first time in October 19 2021 in Oakland arena, California and I got the chance to see them again for my second time last Saturday night August 19 2024. In the San Francisco Golden Gate Park along with a 50 thousand people! I can’t fucking describe how blessed I feel for be able to experience those two amazing concerts during my lifetime. Because This guys are aging so well like a real good fucking wine 🍷! I hope that I can get to see them again before I die. ❤
Sorry to break it to you but that concert in frisco was on August 17th . Wanna know how I know ? I went to the same one 😅.
Was there our very first show and it was epic. Watching this is also epic never seen them so young live.
@@Grimmx4Reaperyou’re right I was there it was a Saturday from 1-10. We were in VIP was most epic show ever.
32:48 I love this part of Science, it sounds so different than everything you've heard before. And Serj nailed it there.
he is singing in armenian :) and its armenian music
Same with the guitar "solo" part of Needles, I love this version so much
@@ovasov realy? 😮
@@methyumontgomery yes, i think it means “Armenia our sun, we love you” but my Armenian isn’t great 😅
18:59 that high note he suddenly holds and then Shavo's face.
Fucking awesome moment right there.
Man, look at john just go to town on those drums.
Hank Wimbleton highly underatted drummer
StanwoodSpartans Damn right!
+StanwoodSpartans maybe the reason he is underated because literally, almost nobody even knows his name.
If I could go back in time that concert would be my first stop...just epic.
22:18
Serj: Is it working?
Daron: Nah
Serj: Ah for fu...
I won’t forget System of a Down’s energy they put through their performances. It’s like the 2000s never died. All the bands like Korn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, etc were starting to get popular 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Limp Bizkit sucks badly and Slipknot is beyond overrated.
@@miaoFoodNow If you say so
@@miaoFoodNow limp bizkit is a great band; fred durst absolutely ruined it
@@miaoFoodNow Exactly, trashy bands for trashy people!
@@justinecamp7922 Oh yeah trashy, let us know what it's like all the way up there on that fuckin high horse, chief. I'd rather be trashy than whatever the fuck you claim to be lmao.
43:42 that damn smile!
18:38 that scream was one of the bests, if not the best scream by Serj, Maybe Daron had shouted a little, but if it was just Serj, then anyone should bow to a scream of such magnificence.
19:31 serj's laugh xD
aHAHAHa
19:31
😂😂😂😂

10:27 i LOVE the drums when hes done it sounds amazing with the guitar
I would do anything to go to this concert......

BAkos it was a joke

Ok! Just asked cause I read a book about the band a long time ago, and I remember reading that they even had a physical fight once. Don't remember who they were, maybe Daron and John.
whys that? :D
2021 and I still think this is one of the best live concerts recorded ever!
Couldn’t agree more. Too bad I was a child when this came out lol

it’s just basically Serj tryin to keep this show together for 52 minutes straight, without looking over worried about Daron
I think Serj is high as hell too tho

Same here hahahaha

I love that little improv groove/song they did prior to "Psycho" and especially that wee rendition of "Goodbye Blue Sky".
I remember downloading this concert from Kazaa. Great days.
Dude!!! Me 2! I had a rip of this on a memorex CD-R. Used to blast it on my way to school. #memories!
Great times! Kazaa, Audiogalaxy! Another memory concert I donwloaded was in BDO! XD

28:39 serj is me whenever I hear this riff no joke. sometimes headbanging just isnt enough yknow
I think this is the one concert I would pay anything to go back in time and see lol
I downloaded this concert via limewire back in 2002. I was in 7th grade and I’m listening to this now years later and it’s never made so much more sense to me..
To me this is one of the best concerts ever. I wish I was there to experience it live.
We can only wish, can’t we
As a more recent system fan seeing these old concerts hurts because I know I'll never be able to see them at this peak but it's just so good.
