[xTomei]

Every time I listen to the beginning of this I get chills.

[mmykolas]

THEY ARE BACK

[Vartex]

I love how Jim is hammering it down. Gosh, drinking in the middle of a song hah.

[CzarYourselfBrett]

i tried introducing my friends in windsor to this... i didn't know the lyrics

[Failworksproduction]

I wish they had a studio version of initiation more like this!. it sounds great played fast like that!

[lamecasuelas2]

[passiveMenis]

Annoying camera man

[comaponydrunk]

dude, i love you so much, just now visited your website with atdi gigs, awesome. thank you very much, never delete them T_T

[HorribleSexyDrunk]

that speech at the begining made the song so much more epic and gave it so much more meaning.

[confusedyouth747]

you gotta remember kids, back in 99, camcorders with the zoom function was a blast to play with. its unfortunate someone was having tooooo much fun for such a epic classic live performance

[supermanJOEL2]

to be frank i dont wanna hear a story about your friend killing himself. i know its sad but it a bummer at a gig when you want a good time

[whryrhw]

@supermanJOEL2 you don't know anything about the spirit of those days. what the reason for them was to start making any music in the first place... it's about love and passion and you are an ignorant because you are too young to see behind the music

[BasketClash]

@supermanJOEL2

Because music shouldn't be emotional right? Dumbass...

[joshstanley56]

@supermanJOEL2

Then go listen to KISS.

[massacre11]

youve gotta admit, jim is pretty dank in this video. guy doesnt normally look that dazed in the videso ive seen. still fucking rocks

[pinksock07]

Deloused in the Comotorium (the first Mars Volta cd) is a concept album based on the guy he made that speach about

[xtristarx]

i hardly cant believe it myself but i just found myself on that video! i'm the guy in the white sweatshirt in the audience. that was agreat show. i knew that i've heard about the show the day before. i never heard about the band, but my friend jobst had the "in casino out" LP- we gave it a listen and drove to the show the next day. the band was great!

[calypso99]

when cedric was growing the fro

[Blueberryfarm]

look at the guitar player's skinny arms. what a cokehead, i remember seeing him trembling, looking like he was about to overdose.

what an amazing band, i first saw these guys open up for Promise Ring at the Galaxy Club in 1998, Dallas, Texas.

Only the Jesus Lizard amazed me more than At The Drive In. The explosiveness of their music, I was really blown away. That was when they were dressing like rockabiliy emo greasers, before the crazy afros and tattoos. i thought they were gonna suck

[xXOingoBoingoXx]

Man I can't believe someone remembers Jesus Lizard. Awesome, where I am from people only remember great bands like Fugazi and Billy talent. Give you props man. I bet bands like "Drive like jehu" and "MC5" will remind you of At The Drive In and amaze you as well.

[Cpost01]

Why does it matter if he has skinny arms? Why does that make him a cokehead?

[Blueberryfarm]

this is really great stuff. i first saw these guys in 1998. you did a great job capturing a phenomenal band. its such a shame they blew up and parted ways. the bass player to me was always the best one out of the group, he always had his stuff together. those other guys are clowns.

[hotwireauterus]

tony never really messed up either.

[IoriOrtiz]

FUCK YEAH!

[yoshy321]

such a passionate speech cedric is amazing!

[Daaanvh]

What a great band. So stupid that I can't see hem live anymore... Well, i'm seeing the mars volta for the second time this summer. :)

2 best songs of a tenement btw.

They were all so dedicated to their band. This is what music is all about; playing straight from your heart.

[dylanwolf1982]

Very passionate speech cedric! Brilliant song......its great to see the old songs live. Thank you.

[recoatx]

This is amazing I can't believe it doesn't have more views yet. Rare as hell!!

[MelonHCST]

Oh my fuck.

Videos like this remind me why they are my favourite band ever.

I would have killed to have seen them in a little space like this (or at all).
