I was lucky enough to see them in 2003 twice! Once in May (St.Paul,MN) and later that fall in October at the quest club. I stood right above the drums by the bar. It sound amazing behind and above most of the speakers! 👋
I'm sorry but death metal drumming is mostly about speed. Once you have the endurance for the style, it's not hard to blast beat. This drumming is far more taxing, as it's all over the place, with strange rhythms and style switching.
holy shit I was just going through a box of my old books and I found the ticket stub which I was using as a bookmark for a prententious book which I won't mention the title of.. Cool! imgur.com/a/qbqb7
fucking sweet dude thanks for sharing!!! image proof makes this like 1005% times better.. thank you for sharing your excellent mars volta history with us !!! >:) im jealous
Im 13 and this is one of my favorite bands and deloused in the comatoriam is my favorite album ever i would kill to be there i hate people who say im born in the wrong generation but i truly am i wish i was born in 1989 because of this band
One of my top 5 drummers ever. His rhythm and structure in the early Volta stuff is delicious. Used to put headphones and (attempt to) play his work. His ad-lib and listening is second to none.
Everyone loves Omar, but let's give credit to Juan and Jon. To keep everything perfectly tight while Omar goes to outerspace is as great as actually going to outerspace.
@@pablojaramillo1279 This. Ikey is gawdawfully underrated in this unit too. And even though Omar actually WROTE the parts for all of them, without said foundations there'd be more people still thinking his playing is plainly "subpar".
I think everyone in the band in this concert clip is either black or Hispanic - though you could count Flea who played bass on the album and Rick Rubin who produced as the essential white guys :-)
Well, mexican americans and blacks ever participated on rock since their born. Omar Rodríguez is a surprise because puerto ricans have no a strong identity with rock or metal music
Isaiah De la Cruz excellent!!!! if your really love the volta go find a pdf of the deloused storybook. its really interesting. hopefully we will get some fresh music before these trash politicians burn the world and run to their underground bunkers. it wouldn't hurt to go try meshuggahs album OBZEN if you can digest volta you may dig it.
I've been watching live music performances since the mid 1960s and this is in my top two best. The ups and downs of tempo, note progression changes, bass lines, keyboard and guitar effects, vocals and the best live drumming to keep all together. I come back to this 4 or 5 times a year to remind me what a live performance should be like. Many bands don't get it.
Boys and girls, you are looking at a legendary performance. This concert changed the way I thought about music forever...Can't believe how time flies. And now I will fly too~~~ *THE MARS VOLTA FOREVER*
Still 20 years later, and almost nothing compares to the power and sound of this legendary band. God what a concert and what a performance. For a brief moment in 2003, this was the center of the universe in the most beautiful way
Jon Theodore is the best drummer they ever had and I think him leaving really messed things up for them. Just my theory, I have been a drummer for 25+ years and Jon definitely brings so much to this band. He's the reason I got into these guys when I first heard De-Loused.
@@drakegravely5261 I really liked the Bedlam in Goliath album they did with Thomas Pridgen as well. I saw them live with both Jon and Thomas and Thomas’s playing was so erratic/manic that it seemed to throw off the performance at times, he was quite good on that album though.
I read an interview with Cedric where most of the drums on this record- and even some of the drums on the Frances the Mute album- had already been written by Blake Fleming before Theodore came along. www.verbicidemagazine.com/2006/11/07/interview-cedric-bixler-zavala-of-the-mars-volta/
I saw them when I was a teenager and they got booed because the audience was all there for System of a Down. It was a shame, they are pretty awesome live.
They just made a album last month so they will tour again next year. I seen them 2011. I don't remember them going wild live like this show. But yeah awesome seeing them.
after discovering the mars volta like 2yrs ago, and after rewatching this countless times, i gotta say, theres nothing like them, and there will likely never be...
I love this band so much, that it hurts... They are undoubtedly, one of the greatest Rock bands of all time... Their live performances, are nothing less, than pure alchemy and magic - or just total perfection... Oh God, I can't stop myself from gushing over this band, and I really need to take a time out... PERFECTION!
Welcome to the rabbit hole, my friend. My favorite album is Amputechture, but take your time. Very few people are casual listeners to TMV. Most tend to either hate it or spend years obsessed.
Damn the fucking drummer is relentless dude it's like the more he exerts himself the more his stamina and intensity increases all the while never losing control of his technique or his sense of musicality in the slightest
That 6 stroke snare fill @3:29 I always assumed was tightened up and compressed to make it sound so crisp on the album recording. I was totally wrong he’s just a beast of a drummer with perfect timing.
I had never noticed how similar The Mars Volta is to Led Zeppelin until listening to them play live. Not to say they are copying them... they are not, in any way. But the drumming, the guitar effects & tone, the vocals, the fragmented exploration of their own music. It's inescapable, & completely amazing.
Mike Hegarty okay, although I do think the comparison can be criticized you are absolute wrong. saying these guys have no groove is so stupid I can't even..
Saw him live with QOTSA this year. He tore the fucking roof off the building. He is hands down my favorite drummer of the last 30 years. Over Danny Carey. Over anyone dude. So fucking good.
Any time Volta came to the East Coast I made it a point to go see them. By far the best shows I have ever seen. My hope is they drop Antemasque and reunite. Hard to do though without Ikey. Thanks for posting this!
According to some, it was originally part of Drunkship of Lanterns but once they started working on Frances the Mute, around 2004 they stopped playing "Facilis Descenus Averni" (the segment we just heard) in the middle of Drunkship of Lanterns.
This video changed my life when I saw it back in 2005 or so. I was amazed by whatever this was and became a huge fan, and they got me into art more deeply.
I read in an interview that the only time they did deloused start to Finish was the most boring show they ever did It must be this one and it’s far from boredom from a listeners Perspective
John Theodore is a fucking beast and easily one of my favorite drummers. Love him on the new Queens of the Stone Age stuff and of course, some of the sickest beats ever played on One Day as A Lion.
I'm always in awe at the layers upon layers of the massive mashup of sounds and vocals. Rodriguez-Lopez and crew are true genius architects of delivering a uniqueness that we are blessed with experiencing.
it's been 14 years since i saw this video for the first time, and it still makes me feel like the first time, they were without a doubt the most influential band of my 20's
Saw them almost right after De Loused was released. I was only 14 at the time my older brother just said “I need $30. We’re going to a concert. We have to go see this”.
To anyone who watches only a bit of this and thinks Cedric was bad live, he finds and gains control of his voice at 10:00. It's hilarious he starts off so bad like maybe being tired or just vocal chords were tight and he couldn't sing correctly, then out of nowhere around 10:10ish he finds his voice so hard it's amazing, and from then on it's complete magic.
Sometimes as a vocalist while singing with a loud band it's IMPOSSIBLE to hear yourself. Sound guy may have turned the vocals up so he could hear himself by that point.
Brigid niedospial I’m gonna concur with your statement. You can hear Cedric suddenly becoming as fucking unbelievable as he is on the albums suddenly whenever he’s singing during a more quiet section early on, but during the loud energetic parts he sounds really stiff.
Around 31:35 you start to go into a trance with his vocals in that bass line. I fucking love The Mars Volta so much I wish I could have seen them in their Prime performing this album in its entirety or any album in its entirety for that matter.
This band makes me open my eyes, my soul... I can't express the things that I am feeling you know? I will just let the hallucinations run in my head... just let them be free, why not? I am free, everyone is free, my halluciantions are free too. Just be friend of your friend and you'll have everything in life. Life is just a game, remember. Love you. Don't forget that ok?
I love most how they played “Concertina” at the end just how it should have always been on the album. Fucking epic. Truly legendary. An honor indeed. The Mars Volta lives forever! 🖤
The slow build up in "Cicatriz ESP" from 45:10 to 48:07 when they go back into the song after that interlude where all of them explode in a chaotic and perfectly executed instrumental passage is proof they are one of the best bands that ever existed
+Josh Harrell saw em in 04,08, 10 and 2005 right after frances dropped...the 05 show was fucking amazing they were all good but jesus christ they were magical during that show
I was introduced to them by walking in on them opening for A Perfect Circle, in Sacramento, in 2004. Changed my life. Incredible performance. No live video comes close to that performance.
still one of my favorite mudvayne performances ever.
bless
LOL!!! I LOVE THE MARS VOLTA... BY FAR, ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK BANDS OF ALL TIME...
I'm out of the loop, what's this in reference to? (besides mudvayne ofc)
@@TheRikkarikna haha, just watch the first couple minutes of this show! cedric makes a joke before the set.
@@TheRikkarikna 0:12 Cedric was known for making jokes like "We are Mudvayne" or sometimes "we are latin Danzig" lol 😂
As a middle aged man, every kid I've introduced to The Mars Volta have become huge fans. Especially this album.
Who else came back to watch this masterpiece in 2019?
This guy right here
Its great he can hit those crazy notes IRL.
Gordon Freeman I remember when the album came out and so many dismissed it as an effect. Ha.
🤘still listen them daily lol
right here also my bad
All of the songs are from "De-Loused in the Comatorium" except for the ones where it is indicated
00:50 Son et Lumiere/Inertiatic ESP
06:30 Roulette Dares (the haunt of)
16:10 Some Jon and Omar's improvisation
17:30 Drunkship of Lanterns (epic Cedric's dance)

24:55 Drunkship Reprise
26:40 Eriatarka
35:10 Cicatriz ESP
49:30 This apparatus must be unearthed

Legend thanks for taking the time to do this!
yo creo que esto es tan grande que no tenían ni idea de lo que estaban haciendo en ese preciso momento.
Gracias infinitas por regalarnos después del 2000 esto.
The greatest year of the Volta... Playing De-Loused in its entirety...
Abso-fucking-lutely!!!!!!!
Surpassed by the Philadelphia
Minus Tira me a las aranas.
I was lucky enough to see them in 2003 twice! Once in May (St.Paul,MN) and later that fall in October at the quest club. I stood right above the drums by the bar. It sound amazing behind and above most of the speakers! 👋
as a drummer this guys stamina is insane. cant think of many other bands that require so much effort from their drummer
Dick Dousche listen to August Burns Red
Dick Dousche his name is Jon Theodore and he drums for Queens of The Stone Age now.
Dick Dousche Listen to tech death metal, or mathcore, etc. So much drum appreciation available for you.
I'm sorry but death metal drumming is mostly about speed. Once you have the endurance for the style, it's not hard to blast beat. This drumming is far more taxing, as it's all over the place, with strange rhythms and style switching.
Lol, you funny guy you.... psshh, death metal
My second ever live gig, and probably still the best. Never thought this performance would become so iconic. Feel privileged to have been there.
holy shit I was just going through a box of my old books and I found the ticket stub which I was using as a bookmark for a prententious book which I won't mention the title of.. Cool!

You set the bar very high early on.
AWESOME!
grunkert mamon
Don't watch this video unless you wanna be sad that you will never see The Mars Volta in their 2003 state ever
Thursday377 I feel very lucky to have caught them in 2006 and then again in 2009 I totally miss those guys
ikr, 2 of them dead, 2 in one band, 1 in another, fuck man its pretty sad
Im 13 and this is one of my favorite bands and deloused in the comatoriam is my favorite album ever i would kill to be there i hate people who say im born in the wrong generation but i truly am i wish i was born in 1989 because of this band
And by the way im not just like oh this band is great i found this band last week and listened to it about 8 times and frances the mute 5 times
I saw atdi in 99 but NEVER got to see The Mars Volta.....this line up was so on point......
Drums, bass and keyboard are the only thing that keep this band from breaking the bounds of gravity and floating off this planet.
Jon Theodore is such a beast, damn
+John Sanabria He is the best! Pure feeling.
He was
One of my top 5 drummers ever. His rhythm and structure in the early Volta stuff is delicious. Used to put headphones and (attempt to) play his work. His ad-lib and listening is second to none.
One of the best drummers of our time. I’d even go as far as saying he’s better than say John Bonham.
I think he's the best drummer of this decade at least.
I can't believe this is 20 years old......
Everyone loves Omar, but let's give credit to Juan and Jon. To keep everything perfectly tight while Omar goes to outerspace is as great as actually going to outerspace.
Lucas Montenegro exactly he’s the glue of that band through all the lineup changes
Yep. Fucking aces. Frances era live shows when they added Adrian were insane. Masterful.
Lucas Montenegro And Ikey
@@pablojaramillo1279 This. Ikey is gawdawfully underrated in this unit too. And even though Omar actually WROTE the parts for all of them, without said foundations there'd be more people still thinking his playing is plainly "subpar".
yeah the bass on the first album was poo
In 2003 a group of hispanic and black guys metabolized pretty much all of rock n roll and spit out the best album ever made
and some whites too haha
I think everyone in the band in this concert clip is either black or Hispanic - though you could count Flea who played bass on the album and Rick Rubin who produced as the essential white guys :-)
This is the most accurate description I've ever read.
Well, mexican americans and blacks ever participated on rock since their born. Omar Rodríguez is a surprise because puerto ricans have no a strong identity with rock or metal music
@@gnosticreverend6354 He's white. Being Jewish doesn't just make you not white if your skin is white.
damn this takes me back to being a scrappy teenager mad at the world blasting mars volta everyday all day
SAME!
Nagarjuna Zhen i think i'm in that phase right. now
Isaiah De la Cruz excellent!!!! if your really love the volta go find a pdf of the deloused storybook. its really interesting.
hopefully we will get some fresh music before these trash politicians burn the world and run to their underground bunkers.
it wouldn't hurt to go try meshuggahs album OBZEN if you can digest volta you may dig it.

Jon Theodore ft The Mars Volta - Live at the Electric Ballroom (London, 2003) full set
srsly dude
The drums are mixed gloriously loud on this recording, freakin love it.
Exactly
Worst mistake they made was kicking him out nobody comes close to him
@@darryljudd7361 closest they got imo was Deantoni Parks, still not the dynamic n aggressive Jon Theodore vibe, sucks not to have him around.
I read an interview with Cedric where most of the drums on this record- and even some of the drums on the Frances the Mute album- had already been written by Blake Fleming before Theodore came along. www.verbicidemagazine.com/2006/11/07/interview-cedric-bixler-zavala-of-the-mars-volta/

@@alelollipop1903 he's become my favorite drummer ever since
Probably you already have, but if not, check out the other projects these guys were involved with, such as ATDI. Enjoy.
That break from Drunkship to the interlude part of Cygnus gives me life..
RIP maese Ikey
Ikey Owens, what a talented lovely dude. Always time to hang out with fans - just an incredible man and mindblowing piano player x
Man, that Cygnus jam in the middle was perfect. Love that context amidst all the De-loused material.
Colton Hubbard Right! But this was before that album so I wonder if they came back around to using it because they liked it.
I wonder if anyone from the crowd recognised it when it was released 2 years later. It's so distinctive compared to the rest of deloused
Good god...this is one of the best live performances I've seen.
I love this band so much, that it hurts... They are undoubtedly, one of the greatest Rock bands of all time... Their live performances, are nothing less, than pure alchemy and magic - or just total perfection...
Oh God, I can't stop myself from gushing over this band, and I really need to take a time out... PERFECTION!
I'm just now getting into this group, and this is one hell of a performance.
Taylor B listen to their entire Frances The Mute album straight through. their best album in my opinion
Nero7713 I've really been sticking with De-loused so far, but I have Frances coming in the mail pretty soon. I'll check it out when I can!
listen to scabdates
Welcome to the rabbit hole, my friend. My favorite album is Amputechture, but take your time. Very few people are casual listeners to TMV. Most tend to either hate it or spend years obsessed.
Walter Bored I have yet to get to that one. I've been checking out Frances, and parts of it perplex me. I'm planning on spending more time with it.
The shot of Ikey Owens at 49:14 is underappreciated and I want that to change.
rip
Also 1:13:47 😂
One of the greatest bands. Unsung heros of modern day rock and roll. XX
Damn the fucking drummer is relentless dude it's like the more he exerts himself the more his stamina and intensity increases all the while never losing control of his technique or his sense of musicality in the slightest
That 6 stroke snare fill @3:29 I always assumed was tightened up and compressed to make it sound so crisp on the album recording. I was totally wrong he’s just a beast of a drummer with perfect timing.
This is one of the best sets any band has ever had
it really is
Right on, Ju.
Imagine the gigs that were not recorded and we didn't get the chance to see.
if they were good they wouldve been recorded. existential crisis averted
Theres one from brussels in 2005 that theres only a 5 min part of thats as fire as this band got
I had never noticed how similar The Mars Volta is to Led Zeppelin until listening to them play live.
Not to say they are copying them... they are not, in any way.
But the drumming, the guitar effects & tone, the vocals, the fragmented exploration of their own music.
It's inescapable, & completely amazing.
a last Dragon I always said that when I was in college at parties.
a last Dragon Compare Drunkship of Lanterns and Achilles' Last Stand.
Mike Hegarty okay, although I do think the comparison can be criticized you are absolute wrong. saying these guys have no groove is so stupid I can't even..
Led Zeppelin with La Fania xD
Saúl Sánchez Cortés y un toque de Pink Floyd
"Hello, we're Mudvayne" LOL! Amazing performance, miss these guys! R.I.P Ikey Owens. \m/
who else is here for Juan's fkn bass solo in Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt???? Orgasmic.
YASSS
That solo!! those effects!!! Juan is a freaking machine
Best track on deloused
Jon Theodore doesn't get enough credit. That guy is an absolute beast.
Saw him live with QOTSA this year. He tore the fucking roof off the building. He is hands down my favorite drummer of the last 30 years. Over Danny Carey. Over anyone dude. So fucking good.

rip ikey. such a fucking loss. no one plays keys like him.
Love this version of Televators!
the beginning is so stripped back its great
Still coming back to listen to this in 2023
and the way they just slip in a bit from cygnus vismund cygnus at 21:38...before the next album had even come out...awesome!!
sneak preview. i love that part
According to some, it was originally part of Drunkship of Lanterns but once they started working on Frances the Mute, around 2004 they stopped playing "Facilis Descenus Averni" (the segment we just heard) in the middle of Drunkship of Lanterns.
In that two years (2003-2005) TMV was the best band
Delused and Frances are amazing
Another livel of musician and alchemy
saw them 5/5/05 at roseland when i was fifteen changed my life OMARRRRRRRRRRR
1 month later...they went so hard that tour
i was there
Saw Volta countless times, but that Frances The Mute tour in 2005 flat out changed my life.
Growing up in El Paso around this time EVERYONE tried being like our hometown heroes and grew their fros out
@LeBum Omar and Cedric are from El Paso man not sure what your trip is. Easy google search shows they’re from El Paso.
@LeBum lmao they are the band fool
Sometimes I come back to this video now in 2020 just to hear “hello we’re mudvayne.” 😂😂
Then stay for deloused.
21:38 and with this, they were on top of the world.
Soy de México y tengo 16 años y me encanta este tipo de música, sobre todo este concierto, me encantó
Si hay futuro en el país :')
I’ve been listening to this set for two decades now, just coming up for air. The final section of Take the Vail KILLS ME every time.
so glad theyre back but this lineup was pure gold and this era was so awesome with omar and juan's giant pedalboard and how in sync they were
This video changed my life when I saw it back in 2005 or so. I was amazed by whatever this was and became a huge fan, and they got me into art more deeply.
Thanks for uploading. I believe this was the last time they played the entire deloused album in it's track order
+Saul Goodman the only time, I'm pretty sure.
Writing Alias Why would you assume that? I heard them play this in Sacramento 2004.
I read in an interview that the only time they did deloused start to Finish was the most boring show they ever did
It must be this one and it’s far from boredom from a listeners Perspective
Cedric casually throwing the drum tech offstage @ 4:20... lol
I saw this tour in Mexico City. That was one of my best experiences with music ever.
OH MY GOD, I just love John Theodore... He might just be, perhaps, the perfect drummer... UGHHHHHH!!!!!
Thanks so much for uploading! I had a recording of this on VHS back in the day an my mumz recorded over it! So glad to hear it again!
John Theodore is a fucking beast and easily one of my favorite drummers. Love him on the new Queens of the Stone Age stuff and of course, some of the sickest beats ever played on One Day as A Lion.
I was there, and I’m so happy someone filmed this show. If anything, it was even more mind-melting live.
Bet your bottom dollar if Cedric sang live as well as he nailed studio takes, they would have taken the world by storm.
He did for at least the first track lol
Thank you again for uploading this. Cheers to the late Isaiah Ikey Owens.
I'm always in awe at the layers upon layers of the massive mashup of sounds and vocals. Rodriguez-Lopez and crew are true genius architects of delivering a uniqueness that we are blessed with experiencing.
every member of this band is firing on all cylinders. i wish i could go back in time and see this.
nobody has ever quite touched these guys as far as intensity combined with creativity. A talented melding
I was at this show. Great to relive that night.
A Moment In Time It truly was an epic *moment in time* ;)
it's been 14 years since i saw this video for the first time, and it still makes me feel like the first time, they were without a doubt the most influential band of my 20's
Who else wishes TMV would hurry up with the remasters and vinyl releases? Wouldn’t it be rad to hear this set in Hi Fidelity?
I hope UMG didn't have the master tapes...
might wanna check that out right now. no set records afaik, but there's vinyls for sure :D
Finally got to see them live 💪
One of those bands that appear every now and then with a really innovative sound.
I saw this live on TV , recorded on my dvr . Instantly became a fan
thank you for adding this man. keep trying to find it.
Saw them almost right after De Loused was released. I was only 14 at the time my older brother just said “I need $30. We’re going to a concert. We have to go see this”.
Adam Boyle dude me too I saw em with older siblings... life changed forever after that

This band makes me open my eyes, my soul... I can't express the things that I am feeling you know? I will just let the hallucinations run in my head... just let them be free, why not? I am free, everyone is free, my halluciantions are free too. Just be friend of your friend and you'll have everything in life. Life is just a game, remember. Love you. Don't forget that ok?
Saw them on this tour in Manchester. Was absolute chaos and absolutely brilliant
thanks for putting up - I was there. incredible incredible gig.
This is one of their best live shows I've seen. Thanks for uploading!
36:08 damn that was sick af lmao
crazy how much bass and drums drive the mars volta
I wish this video was available in HD. Would pay good money for it !
I love most how they played “Concertina” at the end just how it should have always been on the album. Fucking epic. Truly legendary. An honor indeed. The Mars Volta lives forever! 🖤
All the raw power of MC5, first proto-punk band from 60's, but with Progressive rock virtuosity and expanded ideas!
i started listening tmv last year and it makes me so sad that i will never see them live in their best moment :C
Rest in Power Ikey Owens
I just realized that I get goosebumps just thinking of this concert
This version of Televators gives me chills.
The slow build up in "Cicatriz ESP" from 45:10 to 48:07 when they go back into the song after that interlude where all of them explode in a chaotic and perfectly executed instrumental passage is proof they are one of the best bands that ever existed
Wish I had the chance to catch them between 2003-2005, what a fucking performance.
+Josh Harrell saw em in 04,08, 10 and 2005 right after frances dropped...the 05 show was fucking amazing they were all good but jesus christ they were magical during that show
+Reggie “Batman” Hammond Yep, saw them in Chicago '05. Favorite live show ever.

Greek Berkley good times man
I was introduced to them by walking in on them opening for A Perfect Circle, in Sacramento, in 2004. Changed my life. Incredible performance. No live video comes close to that performance.
saw them in berkeley at the greek theater in 05 right after frances dropped as well :D
OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL OF THIS GIVES ME SO MUCH SOUL AND LIFE!!!!!!
