I was in college the first time I discovered TH-cam. I spent three hours on the library just searching for band performances. I couldn't believe how much content was so easily available that I had never seen. The Mars Volta were one of the bands I explored.
It’s been a long time since I watched this. Being at one of their shows was a dream of mine and this one with my best friend nailed that dream. What an awesome group of dudes, fans and great venue. So happy to be dancing down below and hear this song live finally! Thanks for the video to remember the moment by!
At The Drive In was big back in the 90s and early 2000s. There's a lot of history here - the singer Cedric and lead guitarist Omar formed a band called The Mars Volta after ATDI split up. Then came Antemasque a decade-ish later. And now we have At The Drive In once again.
Nostalgic, epic.... Been covering their songs many years ago.. Brings back the memories... Everytime we play their songs in a gig we try to match the intensity in the way they perform and it was epic...
They paper over the cracks cleverly, firstly taking the song a semi tone down from the original, Cedric not performing certain shouts he used to do thus preserving his voice, and not leaping around as much as they used to. It’s actually a pretty decent rendition of what they were capable of doing twenty years ago.
Practically everyone in this comment section is a drag. Glad to see these guys doing their thing in any and all capacities. Glad they are buds again. No time for critical negativity from couch surfers.
"IF YOU DONT KNOW WHO THE FALL IS....................YOUVEBEEN LISTENING TO TOO MUCH HIP HOP AND HEAVY METAL." very quietly before all that... cedric says to himself "i'm wired, can't you see?" uh, yeah cedric, we can see. you just tried to rip your face off from the inside of your mouth in the last song. furthermore, not only can we see, we can very much HEAR that you are wired. heheh. in all seriousness i love that big day out performance, and all of cedric's youthful bravado and pretentious idiosycratic asshole qualities. what can i say. it charmed me, no sarcasm.
i also say this with no sarcasm that at that age i really did have no idea i was listening to too much hip hop and heavy metal until cedric told me i was. damn.
Saw Beartooth, Underoath, and Bring me the Horizon the day before. Got into Terminal 5 and I was like "I gotta see ATDI sometime soon" and I looked on google to see where they were playing and they were playing the next day! I was pissed!
Bustamoo hardest thing is restricting mic gain. If you can adjust on the phone or the phone does it for you it’s great. Distance from the front helps too
I don't know, I kinda preferred it back in the day when Cedric only sang half the lyrics because he was too busy bounding around the stage like a skinny, possessed, afro'd nut job. Shame we all have to get old...
Thanks so much Sam for uploading this video! I used to listen to Vaya a lot back in the school days. Those songs are as fresh now as they were in 90s. Did they play anything from Vaya on that show? I would love to see that!
Yup you were right. nothing off vaya. Not much off in casino out either - just napoleon solo. Would have gone nuts if we got pickpocket, alpha centurai, for now we toast, chanabra... but either way, such an awesome show. I waited 13 years for this, it did not disappoint.
bearvsshaan I remember hearing Proxima Centauri for the first time. What an awsome song! I hope they will visit my country for a concert soon and play some Vaya stuff
Very cool to see them back together but after seeing what Omar and bixler did with the mars volta this is quit meh. The mars Volta is some of the most intelligent, sonically complex music ever made.
metatopian TMV and ATDI aren’t meant to be similar and don’t have to be for each to be uniquely amazing. Two totally different genres-god mode prog rock vs god mode post-hardcore. My favorite ATDI album is Acrobatic Tenement, arguably the simplest, but I love TMV equally (or slightly less for multiple reasons some of which aren’t even directly related to the music per se).
/r/iamverysmart ... Just because ATDI doesn't have the pretentiousness of The Mars Volta's compositions doesn't mean it's not complex. Post-hardcore IS complex. It's closer to Tool than it is to pop punk.
Jim Ward was a key member in this band. By listening to this live cut I can honestly say that His voice and guitar playing is truly missed . Let's not forget how crazy into it he was while playing. Still Extremely excited for the new album AND Most importantly... I'm just so greatful it's not another fucking Mars Volta snooze fest.

This isn't Mars Volta you fucking tard it's at the drive in which was far better than the dogshit that was Mars Volta
@@bigdoinks69 are you Jim ward ? Haha
Well regardless of what the other guy thinks I think that’s really cool. I wish I was smart enough to look into more bands when I was younger.
best commercial for iPhone 7 Plus
Ros Reynoso I don’t get it. Was this song in an Apple ad?
@@KoreanTakeout Not that I know, but this video was shot with an iPhone and it looks fucking amazing. Sounds pretty good too.
I remember covering this song in High School back in 2003.

Just got back from this show. Living the dream! Favorite band ever.
dopeness
What a Great Experience!! :O
Quinn Abercromby yes it was great especially after being there when they canceled in June 2016

Quinn Abercromby @ '
I was there ! That was a damn good performance ! Awesome show. BTW. Thanks for recording this.
heck yea!!!!!!!

I miss my volta though
You forgot to mention Sparta
Wow... No shit. ?!?
Sam Sheffer #bosnianrainbows
Sam Sheffer Sparta was the other off shoot of ATDI...
Taking me back! Thanks for the video!
+Dom Esposito hell yea dom
Thanks for the upload! I found myself in the crowd!
i discovered this band 17 years ago.....never forget this powerful punk rock album relatoonship of command.. thanks men.
Nostalgic, epic.... Been covering their songs many years ago.. Brings back the memories... Everytime we play their songs in a gig we try to match the intensity in the way they perform and it was epic...
Is there any footage laying around? I would love to see it
Damn this cover band has done well for themselves. They even sound pretty close to the actual ATDI.
at least you can hear the song, back in the day it was just a mess live
Haha I know I feel the same way, it sounds completely different.
It’s missing Jim
@@albertoprepucio4398 but it's in a completely different tuning...
@@redacted5035 his voice needs some help these days
i saw them in 1998. im not happy about this. jim ward. vital piece.
You’re goddamn right 👍🏻
Agreed!
@@BrandonDKirkwood Fuck off. Jim ward is flaky as all hell.
@@radioactivetrees9626 shut the fuck up if you're not gonna bring him back.
Jim Ward ❤️😍🤤
god im so grateful i got to be at this tour. one of my favorite bands ever. thanks for the video!
Wow, looks like an incredible concert.
They paper over the cracks cleverly, firstly taking the song a semi tone down from the original, Cedric not performing certain shouts he used to do thus preserving his voice, and not leaping around as much as they used to. It’s actually a pretty decent rendition of what they were capable of doing twenty years ago.
The tuning kills me🤢
@@redacted5035 it’s better than if they played in the original key as he can’t hit the notes like he used to.
They still killed it for them being like 50 fuckin years old lol
If Jim Ward ever comes back into the fold nothing in the world will keep me from the concert.
dude thanks for this!🔥🔥🔥
Tony is a beast on percussion!
In hindsight, it was probably not the best idea to compare Omar to Woody Allen in any capacity.
It was a sick show!!! So glad I finally got to see them live!!
thank you guys
skip to 1:59 for the start of the song
YTYGATG?
mvp
Ngl I kinda hate Cedric's attitude talking on stage
This is great Sam! Omar Rodriguez in da house!
So good!!! I hope they do at least one more tour. Great vid man! Haha love your reaction at the end. Cheers!
Saw them first time in 2000. Still sound the same.... just a little less dancing. Great video
Practically everyone in this comment section is a drag. Glad to see these guys doing their thing in any and all capacities. Glad they are buds again. No time for critical negativity from couch surfers.
Hell yeah man! Also great running into you at the show dude!
yes!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks again my friend. :)
Amazing picture and sound.
Im squished into the middle of the first row. amazing show!!!
Yay! Thank you for this! 😝
saw them for their warm up show in dallas, 400 people venue omg insane gonna catch them when they come back in june
eliteap i was there too!! it was amazing!!!
This is sick, definitely on my bucket list of bands to see
This song is for Mark E Smith and The Fall!
"IF YOU DONT KNOW WHO THE FALL IS....................YOUVEBEEN LISTENING TO TOO MUCH HIP HOP AND HEAVY METAL." very quietly before all that... cedric says to himself "i'm wired, can't you see?" uh, yeah cedric, we can see. you just tried to rip your face off from the inside of your mouth in the last song. furthermore, not only can we see, we can very much HEAR that you are wired. heheh. in all seriousness i love that big day out performance, and all of cedric's youthful bravado and pretentious idiosycratic asshole qualities. what can i say. it charmed me, no sarcasm.
i also say this with no sarcasm that at that age i really did have no idea i was listening to too much hip hop and heavy metal until cedric told me i was. damn.
Too much hip hop and heavy metal! (Was he subtly dissing nu metal?)
@@idontthinkso7733 Hmmm... I know who Fall were. They were fucking terrible. Pretentious bollocks.
Wasn’t it Pattern Against User?
ATDI and Saosin playing together again... WHAT YEAR IS IT
Best drummer ever
bruhhh its boostin weather i love it sammy that rock concert seems rad af too peace
Saw them in ATL, was god damn amazing.
Far, far more contained and less raw than back in the day but still awesome.
They’re in their 40s now
Theyre also not on drugs anymore, I think?
This song sounds so much better when played with discipline!
Plus that venue looks cool as fuck.
BOOOOOOORING!!!!!
Great show after last year being at the door and they didn't play. Loved Napoleon solo! Wish they played Fahrenheit.
thanx 4 uploading!!! \m/
great quality, cool venue
Nice to see they've stopped going "Hey, stop dancing out there you guys! You could ouchie each other!"
Saw Beartooth, Underoath, and Bring me the Horizon the day before. Got into Terminal 5 and I was like "I gotta see ATDI sometime soon" and I looked on google to see where they were playing and they were playing the next day! I was pissed!
Best. Band.
This was shot on an iPhone 7? JEEZ!
I was going to say, this looks nicer than the pro recordings made the last time ATDI were together
The audio doesn't sound half bad either. Smartphones have come a long long way
Bustamoo hardest thing is restricting mic gain. If you can adjust on the phone or the phone does it for you it’s great.
Distance from the front helps too
my fiance and i saw them when they were in atlanta. omg so amazing
Jesus Christ. It's 2017 and we have a new ATDI record. Maybe there is hope for society after all?
is this version tuned down or something? Sounds quite a bit different
excellent!!!
Love this band!
I'm sober now but still am jammin to this
reminding the world where it all began
They sounded pretty tight as they did, but the energy was thousands of miles away after 15 years. In particular Omar's
man that is awsome.wish i was there
can't wait until may 6th that shit is gonna be fun
he still sings great and omar still whails. amazing pair
that head-nod tho. sam sheffer approved.
Sorry, but this the best they’ve ever sounded! It’s so tight and played properly!
Jim is unreal, but old mate has him covered! This is fucking nuts!
this is so cool
great vid.
What an awesome night and live show that was. Those who dislike must've thought they were clicking for a fast food porn site or some crap. For shame.
Que viva Puerto Rico... That'd be a cool place to play.
BangoBean The played there and I saw them greatest show of my life
Puerto Rican woody allen hahaha cheers from Puerto rico!
sweet drummer is lebanese. so am i. never heard of this band, thanks sam
Fuck Lebanon.
Pogo's Ego lmfao what a notification to get 3 years later. i hope life gets better for you bro.
Legends
Verga, que chingón , cuando se hacía buena música y desmadre
Man watching this just hurts
"holy shit, these guys are gonna fuckin' go everywhere" - my first reaction.
I don't know, I kinda preferred it back in the day when Cedric only sang half the lyrics because he was too busy bounding around the stage like a skinny, possessed, afro'd nut job. Shame we all have to get old...
I gotta see them live for surly.
I’m guessing this is in the Roseland Ballroom? Looks like it to me.
I was there..., 2 d right... ❤💋
GAAAWWWWD, I wish i was there.
goosebumps
They should've sampled jim's voice for this song. Lol
Meanwhile Cedric needs lyric sheets when they play lol
Neurotic Puerto Rican Woody fucking Allen...you sir are a fucking genius
My mom and tony had a crush on eachother in highschool
Thanks so much Sam for uploading this video! I used to listen to Vaya a lot back in the school days. Those songs are as fresh now as they were in 90s. Did they play anything from Vaya on that show? I would love to see that!
catacombs! I believe that was on Vaya, right?
bearvsshaan I think it is from Relationship of Command. Still it's a great song :)
Yup you were right. nothing off vaya. Not much off in casino out either - just napoleon solo. Would have gone nuts if we got pickpocket, alpha centurai, for now we toast, chanabra... but either way, such an awesome show. I waited 13 years for this, it did not disappoint.
bearvsshaan I remember hearing Proxima Centauri for the first time. What an awsome song! I hope they will visit my country for a concert soon and play some Vaya stuff
Term five: got dat sound
Are they playing in a different tuning here? sounds like its taken a whole step down
Yurgen Jergenstein cedric isn't 25 anymore
yeah i understand, im just wondering how low they downtuned.
All the guitars/bass are tuned down a half step
Fuckin AWESOME!!
Very cool to see them back together but after seeing what Omar and bixler did with the mars volta this is quit meh. The mars Volta is some of the most intelligent, sonically complex music ever made.
metatopian TMV is fantastic! Complex.
metatopian TMV and ATDI aren’t meant to be similar and don’t have to be for each to be uniquely amazing. Two totally different genres-god mode prog rock vs god mode post-hardcore. My favorite ATDI album is Acrobatic Tenement, arguably the simplest, but I love TMV equally (or slightly less for multiple reasons some of which aren’t even directly related to the music per se).
/r/iamverysmart ... Just because ATDI doesn't have the pretentiousness of The Mars Volta's compositions doesn't mean it's not complex. Post-hardcore IS complex. It's closer to Tool than it is to pop punk.
learn to appreciate things for what they are
While I mostly agree, TMV’s performances sometimes felt a little off to me, a problem ATDI doesn’t suffer from.
Jim Ward was a key member in this band. By listening to this live cut I can honestly say that His voice and guitar playing is truly missed . Let's not forget how crazy into it he was while playing. Still Extremely excited for the new album AND Most importantly... I'm just so greatful it's not another fucking Mars Volta snooze fest.
Yes
Lol cedric at the beginning
They sound a lot better live now. Jumping around less which probably helps!
This Terminal 5 in Manhattan
adj789 There is no At The Drive In without Jim Ward. So this is yet just another Mars Volta spin off.
Subi mas temaaas x favoor! c: Gracias x compartir"
