At the Drive-In - Lopsided

[TheRabbidDonkey]

They are back baby.

[petegiant]

Cedric's lyrics are like beaing beaten up by a dictionary.

"As I have tried to show, modern writing at its worst does not consist in picking out words for the sake of their meaning and inventing images in order to make the meaning clearer."

- George Orwell

[420Dirtmcgirt]

wow this is so good, i love TMV but damn, i wish i could see these songs live

[thomj76]

@420Dirtmcgirt see this year's Coachella festival plan

[jenniferjunecampbell]

*CREAMSS* :-) ... I rock out in one of my vids on here to ATDI a while back cause I <3 THEM

[jonahisbreakdancing]

great song i love it - probably my third fave ATDI song, but this live version is absolutely terrible!

[MrPotatobot]

@jonahisbreakdancing

I wouldn't call it terrible. I love this vid, even with its imperfections.

[ShinyHeartDiary]

I love every thing Cedric's voice does...it's just perfect.

[darktriangle69]

NO CEDRIC IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, PLEASE EXPLAIN ME

[halfnakedmusic]

ATDI ARE SO GOOD, NYARRRRRRRRGH!!

[Thominiho10]

One of their best songs... WTF ? ALLT THEIR SONGS ARE FUCKING AWESOME

[ysqui]

essa e uma das minhas musica spreferidas eles deviam voltar a tocar juntos e tocar no rock in rio brasil

[jeures71]

AND THE TREMULANT ?????????

[jerrytheman1987]

Omar and His Bro are Puerto Rican. Cedric, juan, adrian are Mexican..From THE MARS VOLTA, the rest African american..

[zedonius7]

the lyrics sound so bad live lol

[jerrytheman1987]

@zedonius7 oh yeah sorry to dissapoint ebert and roper..

[Fallenpuertorican]

its the Puerto Rican flag.

[canthinkverywell]

its so cool how even though cedric is flipping the mivrophone (and himself) around like crazy, its always in front of his mouth when he needs to sing!

[originaldeficiente]

3:14 KICKS ASS

[Friar1650]

this and for now we toast are my fave's.. There is maybe a handful of rock bands i like every single one of their song's. ATDI, Led Zeppelin, Misfits w/ danzig..

[minie013]

it's the puerto rican flag (red && white stripes)

cuban flag (blue && white stripes)

[jsh0Xx1]

fact of last 20 years ATDI>all

[axzck]

Why the Cuba flag is there?

[stilllifemusic]

It's pueto rican flag isn't it? Omar is from there.

[gorditascocedor]

@stilllifemusic its mexican my frien mexican

[refusedchad]

@stilllifemusic texas, foo

[JolanPyland]

@refusedchad no clearlyyy Puerto Rican

[ColtH41]

@JolanPyland derp.. Texas

[JolanPyland]

@ColtH41 you are clearly blind. omar has the puerto rican flag due to being puerto rican, cedric has a mexican flag on an amp but not until the mars volta. look up omars heritage.

[refusedchad]

@JolanPyland yeah you're right, my bad

[refusedchad]

@JolanPyland yeah man, you are right I was drunk I think, meh, youtube comments

[stilllifemusic]

@refusedchad definitely puerto rican. google it my friend! atdi rule

[jonjonwhii]

Fact of the day: TMV > Sparta.

[Yeromos100]

this Omar Rodriges guy reminds me to someone... called Jimmy Page

[pankkke]

q energía única la de ATDI.. demoledora ésta performance!!!

[Cpost01]

I think we should all just quit bitching about what band is better. Some like ATDI and some like TMV just leave it at that and enjoy the music.

[adiktskate]

TMV is a great band! unfortunately I cant say the same talking about Sparta, but who cares? this guys together are DINAMITE!

[Knieghtz]

Most people that talk shit about sparta have never even heard their music. A big percent of Mars Volta fans are ignorant like that. They are different bands, different types of music. Appreciate either but respect both.

[stainer12]

most mars volta fans have no idea that this band existed and atdi is far more better that the mars volta could and would ever be

[73RULAS]

By saying that, you just put down cedric and omar and everything they stand for... How are you a fan by doing that...

[benderminguez]

more better hmmm maybe at conquering the mainstream, as far as creatively and musically, technically speaking the mars volta are a remarkably better group.

[ebelein]

@benderminguez

nope

[Malandrobuenciego]

the 'emo tinge' is really great here, almost childish, not sappy or whiny. Makes me think that Emo has a possibility.

[basfaratu]

Emo has a possibility? Dude emo was well and alive before fall out boy (which turned into true shit only with the release of thier 2 album) and the rest of the those bands that people associate with that scene kid shit. Bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, The Get Up Kids etc rocked that shit hardcore. Emo DID have a possibility...not any more.

[Bestmorganiz]

ATDI will always be my fav

[Maosquito1]

OH MY GOWD

THIS shiz looks fun

they are sooo fun... off on this one, but FUCK YEAH they do theyre shit and they do it well

[davidmurderbass]

what's wrong with kids today? lack of ATDI in their musical diet. an obescity of blast beats

[oridniv]

this made me lol

[drewchaos]

agreed

[VioletChildBand]

where was this?

btw atdi is amazing

[MBnjmn]

London..Not sure when but i downloaded it on mp3 years ago.

[MrCotopaxi]

yea baby

[PhilieoCream]

This is the accent of the halfhearted land

does it all make sense now

And if the ship was built in bottled sand

does it all make sense now

love those lyrics

[Evijsa]

..if our map was torn, navigate, navigate

if your compass broke, navigate, navigate..

I LOVE THIS BAND!! But the Mars Volta and the Sparta are good too..

[rhinojazzmaster]

why isn't all this footage available on DVD?!!!???

[ShanevsDCsniperr]

possibly the best song ever written.

IF YOUR MAP WAS TORN, NAVIGATE NAVIGATE

gives me goosebumps every single time.

[RossMongar]

i also agree with you about cedric changing his vocals in TMV. I like ATDI days but im glad that they changed into the epic band they are today, also octahedron (5th studio album) coming out in june

[RossMongar]

lol at the drive in did so much fuckin drugs dude, u can hear it in the lyrics that don't make sense at all. cedric jeremy and omar did alot of opiates, and also cedric did alot of coke. It wasn't until they split up and formed Mars Volta that thier friend Julio Venegas and Jeremy Ward died so it finally convinced them to stop using. They do still smoke weed and drink tho (not really drugs).

[tonyAJ420]

Venegas died in 96 way before Mars Volta.

[gbrooks2]

If their old material didn't make sense, I suppose Frances, Amputechture and Goliath are like a first language to you? Cedric's lyrics have always been cryptic.

[ihaveniceass]

This song would sound good acoustically

[BobbyAndCambria]

where is this? it looks like starland ballroom in jersey

[agentanaranjado]

i believe it is at the electric ballroom.

[JOKERH4H4]

I love At The Drive-In. Thank you for posting... About when was this? Obviously after Relationship of Command.. But what performance?

[boomboom145]

im think i heard from somewhere thats in detriot? dont take my word for it though i've seen so many atdi vids that maybe im just confusing the vids around:)

[JOKERH4H4]

Thank you! Heh. So far you're the only to tell me anything about it, so thanks!

[boomboom145]

no prob man anything for a fellow ATD-I fan

so much shitty music and mindless robots we

gotta stick together ^.^

[JOKERH4H4]

Couldn't agree more haha.

[boomboom145]

well its just nice to know that i aint alone in this place called life. Did anyone noticw theres no argueing on atdi vids?! all over youtube fight happen over bands but not ATDI!

[LightWillIgniteUsAll]

There is, but not nearly as much as on any generic pop-rock vid, for example. We tend to like to keep the peace, it seems.

And no, no one's ever alone, there's always someone out there who can sympathize with you, the question is where.

ATD-I fucking R00L, btw.

[andreads502]

your right... btw this song is awesome

[PixelPwner]

i dont know,Mars Volta fans are pretty big star Hopper's lol assholes

[m0e19]

Seriously, they were on something.

[Pantalakis]

does anybody know where this show is at? or if there is anyway to download a video of the whole show?

[penpensrk]

is that in el paso, E9?

[hotwireauterus]

jim's a corpse in this video

[7TheWake7UpJourney7]

Is this just a life preserver, or a bivouac tenure?

[hemplantt]

he totally busted a 180 with the vocal pitch in the mars volta, and what's a bivouac tenure?

[hemplantt]

I like his vocals but man he's off quite a bit, even in the recordings

[schnabby12]

thats what make his singing so unique

[IGotProducedIn1989]

yeah and in interviews he also says that he can't sing... so like or leave it be. i fuckin love it.

[marsvolta091]

2:32 - 2:50.. cedric is my hero

[marsvolta091]

hands down greatest band to walk the planet. One of the best ATDI songs out there. I get a kick out of all you people saying who's better... TMV or ATDI. You people are dumb. Both bands are totally different styles of music, yet are fucking incredible. Now shut it.

[mexicanhitmen21]

does it all make sense now!?

[zakeness]

best music and energy i have heard in a loooong time

[CollapsingMotion]

ATDI kicks ass, but TMV kicks ATDI's ass

[purplerazorz123]

ATDI will always kicks TMV's ass.

[infamerock]

I Miss Atdi Bu Mars Volta Its Incredible

[randomnamehere134]

both are great isnt that good enough?

[vikingwizardeyes2121]

Argh, this is one of my favorite songs by them, but whenever I listen to it now it reminds me of a weird fucking time in my life. Goddammit, I hate when that kinda stuff happens. Haha.

[Vampire265]

yeah...It's fucked up when that happens mate.

[BullShihTzu]

great video and song! cedric and everyone else is awsome!! but is it just me or does jim look angry if you pause at 3:58

[sammy1990sc]

The whole band are amazing not just Cedric, without the others it just wouldnt be the same... look at TMV and sparta there both ok but ATDI are just in a different league,

[breadboxed]

the very end sounds like an infant televators

those two notes? you know?

who else thinks so?

[xXxFatalErrorxXx]

I can see where you made that connection, but idk...

[firefly3939]

:* cedric ;)

<3 xoxo

[pacmanghostx]

Cedric was truly brilliant. There'll never be anyone like him again.

[b0xD]

Simply brilliant. So much energy there, Cedric was trippin' hard, haha.

[conchis1111]

kim gordon? goat+pig=cedric;)

[Luih1]

ian curtis + mike patton + that girl of sonic youth = cedric

[decascatinha]

you certainly don't know rob tyner or wayne kramer, right?

[PumPumBandit]

why you bringing Ian into this dickheaad!

[mikinike66]

man i love cedric to death but hes got nothing on patton. and i dont even listen to mike but im a big tmv fan. hes just that good.

[TremulantMannequin]

best performance from this concert.

this, Rascuache, and invalid Litter Dept.

[suppapimp1615]

agreed. their heavier songs always sound a lil bad live because it takes a TON of energy to maintain their screams n such

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

theres something fucked up with the sound here anyway - loads of compression on the mix.

If you saw them [HEARD THEM] live I don't think there'd be any complaints - Their records are fantastically produced, but why would you want to hear the record at a show? They embody the spirit of musical adventure to me, I'd forgive them anything!

[fudgemonkeyz69]

Cedric's voice sounds really good in this video. And his moves are pretty good too.

[MustBeUnearthed]

Cedric is skilled with that microphone.

[ENIGMA44]

farkin great song.

[KDizz16]

damn...wish I coulda seen em live.... :(

[fussystephens]

where is this show

[AtTheDriveInRules]

lay off the heroin ya cunts!

[EddesHere1]

lol, how ironic

[brittnimsj]

i guess it all DOES make sense now.

[fudgemonkeyz69]

Holy shit, it DOES make sense.

[meao]

THE BEST BAND EVER AND THAT'S IT!!

[freedomdude12]

awesome

[Twig6]

Whoa, was that Gabe from the MCD walking by at the beginning?!

[NewEnglandDynasty]

YES! Great fucking song.

[alwalk21]

Amen to that....I love that album, this is one of my favourite songs from my favourite band!

[leandrosuero]

jim looks boring at the end of the video

[EddesHere1]

thats his...um...zone... lol

[tamelane]

rock and rock !

[even1609]

its so raw..i love it

[retrohippie]

I love this video (not to mention the song), I just wished that whoever did the video had actually turned Cedric's voice down just a bit and raise the music up a bit. It's all unbalanced. ;(

[pmendoza]

Finally a live song from In/Casino/Out. Lanesracra, you're awesome!!!!
