The jam in drunkship, I could be wrong, but they only played that specific jam in an off tour concert in 2005 Santa Barbara bowl. I was at the show and was blown away by it. Especially since they played the lead with a flute. Look the concert up and you can hear. I have been searching for other shows where they played that beautiful part, they finally brought it back. I love it 😍
Cedirc tuvo algunas epocas algo obscuras lidiando con su esposa , la cual ingreso en una secta tipo nxivm, es impresionante como las cosas estàn ligadas entre si.
@@victorhuerta3877 Ostras!! Eso no lo sabía. Yo recuerdo que su voz comenzó a perder fuerza cuando subió de peso. Sus conciertos a partir de 2009 ya se tocaban un tono más grave por su voz.
@@davidzurutuza2673 He investigado de nuevo. Su esposa fué parte de la religion la cienciologia, y acusó y gano al demanda a su esposo por vi0l4c10n y aparte a la iglesia por abuso y hostigación. Para esas fechs ya andaba con Cedric y este mismo fué parte de la demanda a la iglesia.
Se habían metido a la Cienciología, tanto la esposa como también Cedric, pero salieron hace un tiempo ya , y la mujer fue una de las que acusó al actor Danny Masterson por violación, al que la semana pasada condenaron a cadena perpetua.
Dude these musicians are super tight and talented. The original lineup was raw and wild (which was awesome) but they are playing so clean and Cedric is killing it for a dude in his mid forties! ❤❤❤❤
@@danielgray8053 Agreed, Pridgen was not my cup of tea, Jon is top 5 rock drummers of his generation for me, both their performance was undeniably in another tier. I miss Ikey too, the keys are not bad here, but it's not Ikey...
i'm the guy smiling in the back at the start of the video 😁✌ this concert was incredible, first time i saw mars volta live (i thought i'd never get to see them) one of the best shows that i ever attended, love this dudes
@@xeicv this festival was VERY expensive and the crowd was there to see pop artists ( the line-up was flume, HAIM, forence+the machine and other bands). Honestly, mars volta was kinda lost in this festival, and the same festival will happen this next weekend in São Paulo, another city that is much more common to have concerts of alternative bands (and usually people from all across the country go to são paulo to see concerts) So my guess is that in the next weekend more people will be there to see mars volta
@@xeicv also, i think that if the concert was just them outside a festival, the crowd would be much bigger I say that because the last At the Drive In concert in Rio was packed with people, so i guess it would be the same for Volta
Who IS the drummer in this video? Google states Thomas Pridgen is touring with them in Europe, but That isn't him I don't believe. Great percussionists!!
I feel the same way I recently saw them at ACL festival in Austin and it was such a strange new feeling but in a good good way, it kind felt like a big family reunion
Saw them live a couple weeks ago in Chile. Tbh I had low expectations, but I was so pleasently surprised. The band obviously sounded great, but Cedric did as well. Obviously he can't sing those crazy parts like he did in his 20s, but I think he has a very mature and strategic approach to his new voice that made the show very memorable. Best concert of the year so far!!
dam, i thought this sucked, i don't think she fits in the band at all, just seemed kinda flat, the other female drummer they had in the IG video was way better
Si la vida, con sus dualidades y altibajos, incluyendo también las experiencias transcendentales, se pudiera resumir en música... The mars volta es la respuesta. Caos, tranquilidad, euforia, normalidad, incertidumbre, etc.
For those that loved the Drunkship Jam. That I know of they only played that specific melody in the jam once before in Santa Barbara’05 at an off tour stand alone show. I was there and since then been waiting for them to bring that little tune back. They finally did this year, and I hope they make a recorded song out of it. ru-vid.comUgkxzvjCLGj7GS6SZccI1HCOCBzJBEmMcNom
Weirdly, bands like TWDY aren't trackin much attention now. So much post and prog from 00s has been such a driver for the music - nothing **ever** compares.
That breakdown during Drunkship of Lanterns tho! So moving and inspiring! I dare you to not get somewhat emotional during that part. Those moments when you feel like you're floating were ALWAYS my favorite parts of their live shows. I've been fortunate enough to have seen them live 14 times these last 20 years.
I'm surprised to see how my favorite band reuniting is ever such a world phenomenon. I was lucky to watch them Wednesday in Mexico City and what an amazing gig; thanks for this amazing video! Obrigado!
It's brave and original of her to put her own stamp and her own flavor on these songs instead of what a lot of drummers would do which is just rehash and copy the same old parts that someone else already came up with before
Damn, Cedric sounds great! BTW, pretty awesome that this just happens to come up in my feed -- today, of all days, with Danny Masterson being convicted.
Ikey!! I wish he was still here. RIP :( This new key player is good, I dug some of the synth stuff. But Ikey definitely had his own sound that can't be replicated. Still my favorite band ever!
This band is built different. I haven't delved into their music much, but it's amazing for them to be able to keep outputting such chaotic, challenging stuff for this long.
Because he isn't constantly jumping around and running around the stage like he used to. He's allowing himself to breathe this time around so he's hitting all the notes and it sounds incredible.
@@psychedelicsanctuary. That and I think he has a much better idea on what he can pull off live and what he can't now than he did before. But to me, there really was a charm there (in the past) when he was all over the place and wasn't really aware of it either. I love that trainwreck feel, never knowing what was gonna hit next, it suited Mars Volta's vibe in their heyday. Keep in mind that this is indeed a tame version of what Mars Volta was, they are nowhere near as hectic or loud, which isn't wholly unexpected given the nature of the last 2 albums.
@cinemaspire7258 no shit, really? That's common knowledge that Cedric uses filters to make his voice all weird and trippy but he doesn't use autotune and that's an undeniable fact. Thanks though.
@lecturehc I think Cedric brought that crazy stage energy with him from ATDRI to The Mars Volta and just couldn't let it go but they were two different bands and didn't require the same energy. The Mars Volta are a Progressive Rock band ,not Emo Punk and finally Cedric has become comfortable in that mode.
Love that they found people to play with that respect their music and only want to augment it, not use it to outshine eachother. They are tight as hell here and its amazing.
such a beautiful and sexy audience! ones of the best sounding live performances ive seen/heard since trhe reunion and am so excited to see them this fall!
i feel proud of the boys. when i saw them earlier this year they just had such a nice energy to them. they are kind of at their best in terms of a mature musicality. It's beautiful to see
@@danielgray8053 Thomas’ intensity was unrivaled but I feel like he lacked the subtlety and nuance to really lock in + vibe out during the moodier atmospheric sections. Linda seems more at ease with this aspect due to her extensive jazz background. Her playing just feels more dynamic and well-rounded to me, and I feel like she has a steadier meter overall than Thomas
@@danielgray8053 this also crossed my mind. Pridgen is a beast! Better is a difficult thing, she doesn’t have JT pocket or groove, she doesn’t have Thomas chops. I have to listen to more of her and see what she does that they like
Cool to see hardly anyone in the crowd using their phones, just enjoying the moment Awesome to see them back as good as ever. Wish the drums were a bit louder in the mix here, still awesome though
Been a fan of TMV for 20+ years. Have sigs on my canvas artwork. I’ve seen multiple live performances including ORL GROUP opening with zechs. This is by far the most I’ve seen from the band. All hats off thank you for the music and inspiration
We got to see them in San Antonio Live, A band I've Loved since my high school days when they first started!! OMG!!! AMAZING experience! Introduced this band to my Husband and he LOVES them as well!!!
I think this version of TMV has brought Omar down in the mix and raised the keyboards to create a more balanced sound like in the early Tremulant days. It’s giving them a fuller more cohesive sound. I can dig it.
I think its the foh sound actually. Vocals fxs appear manually where they should (octaver part in "boxcar cadavers" for instance) which are turned on by the foh engineer for sure. Also, more keys upfront seems to be dostinctive for the whole tour, which is a great move with such an amazing player
¡Un gran show de rock and roll, las luces psicodelicas, crean unas fusiones etéreas, sublimes, excelsas. Por siempre formaran parte de mi repertorio musical!
i saw them live in LA last year -- this is probably their best ever live era. they're so tight! drums look effortless, the keyboard player is bringing new depth to the existing chords and playing around like crazy. plus the guitaar is flawlesssssssss
LOL. No it isn’t. You’re wrong on multiple levels. A. No Ikey Owens. B. Theodore was obviously the best TMV drummer, his parts were the best and the stack cymbal he used is a sound that no TMV drummer has gotten close to recreating. Pridgen was the most talented and Parks I think worked the best with Omar live. C. Energy. The bands energy is a shell of its former self - the shows from Deloused, Frances and Bedlam were just of an entirely different energy to that of the Amputechture shows and then far different from the tours that occurred after. D. Omar isn’t the same guitarist. The absurd indulgence and ability from At The Drive In and Deloused, Frances, Bedlam and Amputechture is not something that typifies Omar’s guitar writing anymore. I think he should obviously do what he wants as a musician - however TMV is the band they are not because of albums like Noctourniquet or the self-titled - it’s because of Deloused in the Comatorium & Frances the Mute, with both The Bedlam in Goliath and Amputechture also contributing. Bass is good. Honestly I prefer Juan to Eva however this is pretty minor. Cedric sounds a lot better than he has in a while. Did you ever see TMV during their earlier shows? Cause they’re two entirely different bands live and this band is certainly not the one that made people fall in love with them.
@@MonoPrime comparing the album performances I agree with you. However I saw them extremely early. Right after Deloused was released in LA. Their first show after the album came out and it was abysmal. And that was with the OG lineup. Included Frusciante with them for nearly the entire set. They sounded like complete unorganized shit because they played one cut and then jammed for 40min. It was obnoxious. They are not the jam or jazz musicians that can pull something like that off in my opinion. The best I’ve ever heard Cedric is the tour they did after Coachella comeback with At The Drive In. The first tour without Jim. His voice was spot on and his performance wasn’t held back. I had been watching ATDI since they hit the touring scene. They were such a furious show but always sounded like crap also. So I was happy to see him and Omar finally find the balance of performance physically and sonically. That all that said, I’d go see Volta if this was the set I’d see because I am pretty impressed with what they are giving us here.
@@DiamondLiferYeah Cedric sounded great on the ATDI tour w/o Ward. He also looked like he was really enjoying the ATDI shows which I wouldn’t say with Omar.
@@MonoPrime The two shows I saw were far enough after Omar mother’s death, so Omar seemed to also really enjoy himself and was really into the music. I’m glad I didn’t push to see them at Coachella. Omar was devastated. Hats off to him for not cancelling the performance feeding into their flaky rumors.
@@DiamondLifer Yeah the Coachella performance video is really sad because you can see Omar is just grappling with something far larger than the music. It’s made even worse I think by the fact that it was the only time (I think) where Jim Ward played with ATDI again.
However long Omar waited for the on point percussion for this tour is amazing and well worth! I’ve seen this same group live and can’t get enough. Giving Jon Theo a run for his money EZ
