Cedric tweaking the pedal board while Omar shreds is among the most rock and roll moments caught on camera. Juan is like a Swiss watch with his timing!
I love how this isn't routine. It's not go up on stage, play the song note by note as previously written, then leave. This is some genuine feeling going into the music through some seriously badass improv. Bravo The Mars Volta!
Check out their 2005 Huxley's Neue Welt show then, it's here on TH-cam. That Cygnus blows this one out of the water tbh. That show might be their best live performance ever. They also played Cassandra and it was 10/10 absolutely killed it.

hey man, i feel yer...however, there may be hope!! Do check out King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard...also, do try out Tool, Oceansize and Animals as Leaders...and if you haven't listened to Led Zepplin's first two albums then that's a must!!! all the best ;)
Every time this comes across my feed I have to watch the entire thing. One of the best live renditions out there. I’d love to get my hands on the entire show. Their live shows are unlike anything else out there.
i'll watch this every year of my life until i die...it's still the single most impressive live performance of any band I've ever seen...the guitar and drums are ridiculous!!! the hairs on my neck stand proud!!! :)
all i ever wanted was a Juan cam. i love hearing him and would love even more to watch him. never got to see them live . All I want is a full set steady cam on Juan :(
This may be the best live video of TMV ever. Cedric is normally pretty hit or miss and the mix on a lot of videos sucks IMO, but everything about this is perfect.
and honestly, there are few greater moments in live music than what begins at the 4 min mark...just bliss man...the drums, omar's guitar solo bit...so lucky to have this video...and much love to the person who shared it...
This is honestly one of my favorite musical moments in history right now.....The energy in that room must have felt phenomenal. I wish there was a video of the full concert.
What this performance shows the world is the total package, the epitome of a well connected band, (a beautiful marriage if you will), bonded by talent, expressing what music means to them in such a profound way that evokes a fully body sensory experience so that every member in attendance feels it in their soul! In that moment with joy at the core, that the tears roll down uncontrollably, and you realize the profound power music created by such amazing talented artists. Such fortunate souls are those lucky to have attended a concert where their favorite band sounded even better live, brought such stage energy and presence that took the crowd to new levels of a euphoric 'high', and ended by rendering them speechless with curfew-less encores etched as joyful memories highlighted in life!
I was really high when Omar's solo around seven minutes in was playing and I read this, I legitimately, no exaggeration sobbed with tears and everything. I had to pause the video to write this comment
Saw them 3 times on this tour. They are beasts live. Thomas pridgen is an inhuman machine on the drums that sounds monstrous in person at a small venue like the TLA in philly. This video brings back great memories
I seen about 7 live shows of the Volta. through 2002- 2008 I feel they were at their prime in a musical sense , after that they were just killing it on stage performance and visual effects which I found also entertaining, some of my friends say they fell off, but I beg the differ. They only transcended.
😂 I said that to a few people who "turned on me" .... I informed them the PDX Rose Garden has never had anyone blow the roof off with a "half set" tease opening for System of a Down.... And no band will ever match that day October 2005 at the Rose Garden which is funny.... The place was raided by trolls, and no longer "Rose Garden"...now called the Moda Center. BASICALLY MARS VOLTA IS SUPREME AND THE WORLD IS JUST DUMB
I have heard two songs from the first record, they're in my playlist. I have always known that once I dig deeper into this band, I will never let them go. So I listened to the entire debut album over and over, loved it. I have just started listening på their second album, and after hearing this masterpiece of a song, I just had to see it live. I'll update when I'm done. Edit 1: This is by far one of the greatest live performances I have ever seen. The musicianship is on an elite level. And that drummer 🥰 they really love what they do. It took me 10 years to understand meshuggah, but when I did, my love for the band became permenantly attatched to the core of my soul. I feel like this is Meshuggah in another dimension, and without a 4/4 beat. I believe it is a very deep hole I have began to explore :) Edit 2: If any of you have not heard meshuggah yet, I suggest with the live version of dancers to a discordant system

My favorite era of this band has Jon Theodore as the drummer. With that said, between _The Bedlam in Goliath_ and this performance here, Thomas Pridgen may still be one of my favorite drummers of all time.
Nathan Gray lmao funny you mentioned that dude this song made me see lasers and I got so caught up in how it was making me feel that I ended up doing a pull up on my friends pull up bar and punching a glass cup off his table for no reason....
No words. No f$cking words. Just next level rock. TMV... so epic. There's something about this track that has never left me since the day I first heard it on CD.
IDK what to say about the Mars Volta... there is just nothing that comes close to them... their timing signatures.... their alternative languages... nothing short of WILD... their music is not just sound.. its a whole experience.. Its absolute madness and I cant make sense of any of it and I want to keep it that way.....
wow. it would've been nice if thomas pridgen could've taken a few moments from his busy schedule of sticking 128th notes onto every nook and cranny of that song so that i could hear some other instruments now and then.
not quite. but if you don't like metal, you wouldn't be able to recognize all the bands that are far technically superior. not like tmv were going for that anyway
Does anyone have any recommendations on what to do next? If you like prog rock in any shape or form from King Crimson to The Mars Volta, I'd like some advice as to what to listen to next. Anything out there even resembling this great band? BTW, the Jon Theodore Volta era is the shit since the change of the millennia.
Joshua Qubti-Andrews Soft Machine! Heard of them before, never listened. Those days are over thanks to you. Thanks. Some great jazzy tracks on the Soft album. Will definitely be looking more into Soft Machine.
if the camera was pointed more towards omar like in this concert but in other concerts i would be thinking omar is more amazing then i already thought he is on stage
+Emmad Kabil They're all over You Tube. You probably found them by now so enjoy, if not then look it up. These motherfuckers are crazy, so bad they split up but like all good things...
RIP Ikey Owens :( We will miss you
Cedric tweaking the pedal board while Omar shreds is among the most rock and roll moments caught on camera. Juan is like a Swiss watch with his timing!
it really is - real shit.
I full agree
Yeah, Omar is like already 77 steps ahead of you, he's forgotten what was was playing that you're now listening to
100% agree man 😉
I love how this isn't routine. It's not go up on stage, play the song note by note as previously written, then leave. This is some genuine feeling going into the music through some seriously badass improv. Bravo The Mars Volta!
Exactly...they are not just playing songs. With improvisation they are creating incredible moments :D
this out of a top 10 mars volta perfomances, this is number 1 its like watching a movie
I watch it nearly every night I drink, it's astonishing
@@karlstrausside107 same, it teleports you way out there. Specially if u are a musician yourself.
This is the MARS FUCKING VOLTA!!!!!!

I like to believe Jimi Hendrix would have loved these guys. So many colors.
Shortly before he died Hendrix said publicly King Crimson was the best band on the planet!!
david wilson -- the colors! shit i must have have eaten Peg Bundy's mystery meat. Heh
That’s weird because I also often times think that
@@davidbrodeur5023 he was quoted as saying he thought the beatles "sound" was on its way out, and that the population was ready for the more cosmic universal sound in its shared musics.
There were rumors that Emerson, Lake and Palmer would like to have Hendrix in their band, so the band would have called HELP. But than sadly, he died.
Will there ever be a band Like this?! I was Lucky enough to catch Goliath tour in Europe back in 2008. Best band in last 15 years without a doubt...
without question!!
One can only hope. There is definitely a giant hole left after their departure. I'm honestly bored of music post-Mars Volta...
I´ve seen many bands so far. Nothing just came close to The Mars Volta

The greatest band to ever exist. This is pure genius!
Saw them in Amsterdam... on mushrooms... I honestly don't know how I managed to get back to normal
wow jealous
Awesome ha, bet that was a trip seeing them literally lol 😉👍
Every time this comes across my feed I have to watch the entire thing. One of the best live renditions out there. I’d love to get my hands on the entire show. Their live shows are unlike anything else out there.
i'll watch this every year of my life until i die...it's still the single most impressive live performance of any band I've ever seen...the guitar and drums are ridiculous!!! the hairs on my neck stand proud!!! :)
I second that
oh yes.
all i ever wanted was a Juan cam. i love hearing him and would love even more to watch him. never got to see them live . All I want is a full set steady cam on Juan :(
incredible. the smiles the whole band shares are the indicator that they knew they nailed something here.
There is no second where this live version lacks in geniusness.
This may be the best live video of TMV ever. Cedric is normally pretty hit or miss and the mix on a lot of videos sucks IMO, but everything about this is perfect.
Did you see this one? For me it's Cedric's best recorded live performance: /watch?v=m2_QF3MtrxQ

A staggering testament to the Mars Volta's one-of-a-kind genius.
Cedric’s energy just seems so genuine. So bad ass man. Can’t wait for The Mars Volta to tour again.
If it ever happens that would be awesome
Rip
Now
@@Bigzthelove I'm gonna go see them on September in Dallas TX
@@machoman2929 damn that’s dope, RIP Ikey.
This is fucking legendary.
My mind and body have never felt so much joy than witnessing this band live. Wicked fabulous.
My life was just changed after watching this.
This is easily the best musical performance I've ever seen in my life time, 10/10 perfection
Saw them 3 times on this tour. They are beasts live. Thomas pridgen is an inhuman machine on the drums that sounds monstrous in person at a small venue like the TLA in philly. This video brings back great memories

I hope you’re happy
@@Taaniiieeee cause theyre coming back?! they announced a tour today and a new single!
This is was cygnus would have sounded like had it been on Amputechture.
+hans dampf That's interesting.
They should have recorded Cygnus for all their albums. 5 different versions.
Not sure how you figure that, considering the drums were mastered lower on that album than any other and it was Jon playing in it, not Thomas.
@@rumourhats Cygnus on bedlam would sound ballistic
RIP Ikey...an awesome musician...
and thank you for uploading,I've wanted this full ver.
This is one of those bands I don't need to look at(this is a compliment) Their music alone is enough. Got here via a review on karnivool. Great band!
like ive always tried to tell my so called old friends back in the day...your missing out..best band in history

Holy shit they were so tight! I've been one of my favorites for like 8 years. I've never seen a live video. The Mars Volta fucking ROCK!
Oh. My. God. Who do you....truuuuuuuuuuust?! I trust the mars Volta to create a brand New riff mid show
aqui en los comentarios tenemos fanaticos de todo el mundo
OMG from the drums to the guitarists to literally everything is amazing. I think this of in 9/29
Seems like he could play all day long without rest or sleep... just awesome...
The Mars Volta, una banda de otro planeta.
This is still one of the best live performances of all time
Still? Not like anything gonna come after it with the tripe out there
this whole video is an analogy of one big long acid trip in 20 min........and I love it
never heard this version with Thomas on drums. holy shit. so smooth

They're back whew

Those guys have a super cool vibe...

12:10 gets you afloat with that trumpet solo, magnificent!
thats a saxophone
simplemente genial!

i pity those on acid for this performance....im sure i wouldve died during that guitar solo to last chorus...
i would've died too.
I agree, I could never handle any hallucinogenic's during any Mars Volta set. I would melt like I melted when I saw the Knife on molly's.

Mars Volta in the rock hall of fame 2028 ! It’s criminal Cedric and Omar weren’t inducted sooner. Shape shifting rock since the early 90s !
Thomas is a monster. Unreal power and presence.
Wow!! So awesome!! Saw the Irvine Meadows show many years ago.🔥🤘
6 minutes to 6 15 is the most insanely brilliant thing I've ever witnessed in a musical performance
this was the best form of the volta
wish so much to see this video in 4k

my all time favorite rhythm section
My god....... The Mars Volta
TMmfV!
Still listening in 2020 , they actually filmed this for dvd. It for some reason they never released it :(
This was their best era by a long shot
that drummer has some serious stamina
This song is a drumgasm.....If you're a decent drummer, you know what I'm talking about.
wow. it would've been nice if thomas pridgen could've taken a few moments from his busy schedule of sticking 128th notes onto every nook and cranny of that song so that i could hear some other instruments now and then.
holy shitting fuck this awesome live is version
Can you imagine what the rest of this concert is like ??
OMG! One of the most complex song I've ever heard
The Mars Volta! could wreck an metal band an day of the week.
dream theater ... right
not quite. but if you don't like metal, you wouldn't be able to recognize all the bands that are far technically superior. not like tmv were going for that anyway
holly fucking shit.
RIP Ikey Owens :(
Juan = Human Metronome. Hope he makes a quick recovery
thomas!!!!!!!!!!!
The strength of this transition is so f'ing rad 2:34. Sits in a little pocket of win on the landing... sweet Jesus that shit kicks.
To Mars and Beyond. What a fuckin' superband was this (and reunion on the way)

"here, eat these and follow my lead, trust me" that's how I feel the rehearsal probably initiated.
That's exactly what happened

So who else tripped major ballsack around 10:32?
Because this guy right here did
