The Mars Volta- Cotopaxi (10/19/09) Minglewood Hall- Memphis TN

[JefeElMilagro]

If Cedric wants to make money off of live footage, there's a legion of fans that are dying to buy this long-promised live DVD. Maybe if they stopped hoarding all their pro-shot footage there wouldn't be an issue.

cedric took my phone right out of my hands a couple years ago

[shroomshady27]

Really? WTF did he give it back?

[laydeezman217]

haha, that was my reaction.."WTF, is he gonna give it back!?". What happened was, I got front row, he was all over the stage during Goliath and eventually got right in front of me, i took out my phone and started recording and put out my other hand for a high 5 and he snatched my phone instead. He put it in his mouth and went back to the mic stand and started pretending to talk on it lol, then he tossed it around a bit (like his mic) and finished by putting it on TP's ride cymbol. It then fell..

[laydeezman217]

..when TP hit the cymbol. Once that all went down, I was like emotionally exhausted lmao, I was like "this song is unreal (it was unreleased at the time), cedrics right in front of me, did cedric really just take my phone..SICK, oh shit he's a mental case of a rock star is he gonna smash it, fuck, my phone has been in the mouth of a legend and one of the best frontmen of our/all time, i need to get that phone back so i can call for a ride.....lol, anyway, i got my phone back 45min after the show

[shroomshady27]

ha ha! dude thats insane. ur lucky you got it back

[JacobRobAJ]

lol.. Man, i learned a valuable lesson too.. If i'm going to record.. Don't go in the front row no more.. lol.. Man, there was a security guard standin right in front of me the whole show man.. I was like FML! lol

[shroomshady27]

ha ha, yea you'll see in some of these videos that i'm descretely filming and moving the camera around all stupid like to avoid security seeing it. usually my videos are a lot less shaky. I've never really had problems filming at shows before, except for the TooL concert i went to the fuckin security guard made me turn my camera off right as they started playing Schism. I was pissed. I later moved to the middle of the crowd so the fuckers couldn't get to me

[JacobRobAJ]

haha.. Yeah, i definitely know what u mean.. That sucks about Tool though.. I would of been pissed.. haha..

[shroomshady27]

yea i got some great footage at TooL, except for my shitty Schism video. check em out they're on my channel

[JacobRobAJ]

The footage looks awesome.. I heard the security at the end of Schism too funny man.. haha

[shroomshady27]

ha ha, yea that fuckin prick. Of all the songs to interrupt, it had to be Schism. son of a bitch lol

[JacobRobAJ]

Its always the best songs.. lol

[JacobRobAJ]

Thank God for pot smokers.. haha.. Looks like an amazing show man.. Great footage! I'm glad u got a chance to record almost the whole show.. They are being pretty tight on security for this tour though.. Hopefully they'll use your footage and come out with a dvd.. I will definitely support it..

[shroomshady27]

Ha ha, yea go pot heads! I'm one myself but i'm not dumb enough to get high in the front damn row lol. thanks for the compliment, glad you like em. N yea i hope they use my footage that would be too bad ass

[JacobRobAJ]

Shroom i know exactly what u mean! I had the same problem at the show i went to the other week.. I was trying to film and the security said i couldn't record.. Me and a friend did a video about this.. I was upset but it was kinda like whatever.. I think the band will do a dvd.. But, i doubt they are recording every show they go to.. ya know?

[shroomshady27]

Yea the security stopped me a couple times but a bunch of people started smoking pot so they kinda left me alone, they we're too busy flashlighting people and kicking them out, so i got to film damn near the whole show. I have like 5 more videos from this show, i'm in the process of uploading them now

[shroomshady27]

I hope they do make a live DVD. I'll definitely buy it. I offered to give the original videos to the band to do what they want with. I'd be stoked if they used my footage for something. Cedric did say I should give the videos to them, I'm hoping they'll contact me about them. I highly doubt it though

[VioletChildBand]

2:59 is so sweet

[shroomshady27]

I know right :)
