he is one of my favourite musicians. Not just because he is a great guy and played in TMV but also for Pedals and Effects, his work with Mr Big and Big Sir. All great.
Flea recorded the bass to everything except televators. But Ava wrote all the parts and she commented in an interview that she was stoked that he didn’t change the parts that she wrote.
I was in high school for this one. I learnt English from the love of mars Volta and internet. I'm like 40 and I want the mars Volta to come back again, again.
los INCREIBLES "MARS VOLTA"...!!, TENGO 48 años..!! y para mi, estan y estaran siempre en la punta de la piramide de las MEJORES BANDAS DE ESTOS TIEMPOS..., y GRACIAS X EXISTIR...!!
the early Volta gigs are my favourite things ever man.... Jon and Juan are soooo tight in this...I love when Omar has the big hair and is really getting into it. Ikey is coming out with some mad sounds in this one too... Cedric cool as always.
i hate how you can't really here Ikey's keys in ANY vids... when I saw them live during the Bedlam tour he brought the house down on a few of his solos. There was a particularly huge climax when he took a solo on "Goliath" before the fast part... it was SOOOO good and I feel like he never gets credit in the mix (unless you're actually there live)
Their best lineup. Everyone is just a beast. Jon is great but can we get more Ikey, Juan love? bc all are just killing it. Juans such a great underated bassist and Ikey is just so free and talented too. This fucking lineup🔥🔥🔥.🙌🙌🙌
yoyoyoson and its funny because he hated being in this band. Of course their later drummers are good but none of them quite had the same finesse and nuance as Jon
@@TheMeatballMen Didn't he hate the relentless touring and a few other aspects of being in TMV? Doubt he hated the music (not that your comment says this), given the amount of work he put in creating some of these grooves, specially on Frances the Mute that was the first album he composed fully with them and I read interviews saying he really enjoyed the dynamics of playing without hearing the rest. TMV seems like a important band in his career but I doubt much good stuff would come from such strained relationships, Omar and Cedric seem really hard to work with; and they regretted losing him as well
the cool thing about mars volta is that if you go back a couple of months before, they are playing that same exact song differently live. you get a different experience everytime you see them
Man, people always got some random crap to hate on. These guys were and are great. Playing music for the music of it. That's what it's all about. You can see and hear the passion. R.I.P Volta. You were great in all your eras, and it was a wild ride. And in all your future endeavors, Bosnian Rainbows and whatever else, keep that passion. The right people will see it. Feel it.
+SUCKRPUNCHED ya to a degree. you should check out his previous band Golden. great stuff, very fusion/African in nature. long solos etc... there's also a great version of Coltrane's Niamia by them floating around on yt under the band name vato negro
well, if u listen to them live purely from the perspective of how close they sound to the studio records then it's a semi-fail, but when u look at the amount of the energy they put out and how much they enjoy being there at that exact moment then it's a totally different story, u gotta feel it in a way. no band in the world can do what they do live. if u only focus on somewhat bad Cedric's vocals and Omar not hitting the right notes every now and then, ur missing out on something very special.
Thomas was okay I just hate that he always overplayed. Jon could lay the ultimate groove showing perfect in the pocket timing and swing. What more could you as for?
That moment when Omar and Ikey can't help but lust over their instruments. RIP Ikey. (Also, one of the best Volta live vids where Cedrick didn't inhale helium before singing, or throw boiling hot water at random people for that matter.)
i love how they only need the one hihat hit to know when to all come in for that first chorus, they seem to do it like that in a bunch of videos of this song ive seen

They don't want to sound like their albums live. They want to deliver an experience. They are a jam band as well. They would be bored as hell just playing their albums straight through.
If there is a reunion (Cedric has hinted on the twitters there may be one), hoping it's Theodore back there...with all due respect to Parks, Elitch and Pridgen

Jon Theodore is in the house. Madre mia, what a beast...
What happened to him?
@@aperezto Still slaying, drumming for Queens of the Stone Age.
Why does no one ever mention Juan Alderete? The man's a machine, and his basslines are killer... And, he played with Paul Gilbert. Like, woah.
he is one of my favourite musicians. Not just because he is a great guy and played in TMV but also for Pedals and Effects, his work with Mr Big and Big Sir. All great.
Actually Juan Duerte is no doubt a beast butttt Flea came up with all the bass lines to deloused.
Flea recorded the bass to everything except televators. But Ava wrote all the parts and she commented in an interview that she was stoked that he didn’t change the parts that she wrote.
Nevertheless Juans an absolute beast and that cannot be denied
@@seantootell3316 eva gardner wrote most of the basslines on deloused. except televators which is justin meldal johnsen
12 years later and still the best shit ever
@@deeemess 16 years on going. Still the shit.
@@radioactivetrees9626 17. Pointless to say anything.
18 years and counting.
Back when they played like their lives depended on it. Wonderful stuff.
Theodore is a drumming’s god!!!
True story
Whenever I see Omar do his thing my knees and ankles cry in pain
You just need to do the amount of drugs they are, then you're apparently invincible
Afros, Tight Pants, Drugs, Dancing, John Theodore, Ikey, Jeremy
Jeremy died a month before this show
0:28 - "Because these ankles hurt too much".
epic moment xD
The best band of this millennium so far
Causing me pain, even if this weight loss helped today
To reach inside a jar
For a lil candy bar
They officially changed the lyrics when they turned 35 😂
Observationally dope conments
Gawd the drummer absolutely kills it here...
evisr8r You said it: God, the drummer. He's a freakin god lol
God the drummer
Probably The Mars Volta's best performance and crowd ever
I was in high school for this one. I learnt English from the love of mars Volta and internet. I'm like 40 and I want the mars Volta to come back again, again.
Bug your local promoters! Cedric has been urging fans to help promoters realize there is a demand for them to come to towns that aren't scheduled.
Theodore is amazing. So much funk and groove and energy without overdoing it like Pridgen or underdoing it like Deantoni.
Jon Theodore is FUCKING KILLING IT!!!!!
The whole band actually. This video is perfect.
When Japan loves you like this you’re doing it right

That 0:27 walk is pretty epic
its called the pitter patter
its called the ‘holding my shit in’ walk
OMG yes. What a great catch, this is magical haha
His ankle doesn't hurt
hes doing the molochwalk
Fuck me dead that is the most raw unchained controlled energy ive ever seen. John Theodore is an absolute fucking BEAST
R.I.P. Isaiah 'Ikey' Owens ♥
So perfect. His voice is amazing doesn't matter if he could sing high notes or not. Just feeling d music n it goes with it!
Sick Theodore. Good times. Best TMV formation.
i hate how you can't really here Ikey's keys in ANY vids... when I saw them live during the Bedlam tour he brought the house down on a few of his solos. There was a particularly huge climax when he took a solo on "Goliath" before the fast part... it was SOOOO good and I feel like he never gets credit in the mix (unless you're actually there live)
ProfQ RIP 😖
He’s very audible in this video.
Their best lineup. Everyone is just a beast. Jon is great but can we get more Ikey, Juan love? bc all are just killing it. Juans such a great underated bassist and Ikey is just so free and talented too. This fucking lineup🔥🔥🔥.🙌🙌🙌
its so obvious how much jon theodore carried the band.. holy shit
yoyoyoson and its funny because he hated being in this band. Of course their later drummers are good but none of them quite had the same finesse and nuance as Jon

Fucking a beautifully put
Jon Theodore has such power, dynamics and swing. The only other drummer like that was called Bonzo... as well as God.
+SUCKRPUNCHED ya to a degree. you should check out his previous band Golden. great stuff, very fusion/African in nature. long solos etc... there's also a great version of Coltrane's Niamia by them floating around on yt under the band name vato negro
Jon, Bonzo and Jimmy Chamberlain!
@@movimentodoscacos Billy Cobham, Carl Palmer, Ginger Baker, BJ Wilson, Bill Bruford, Clive Bunker, Barrie Barlow
I find it offensive to compare Bonham to God.
He was good but he was no Bonham.
Lemmy is God, don't get it twisted.
The best live version of this piece.
JON THEODORE
Jon Theodore brings that shit to an 11. Not even sure what it is about him but its amazing
He pulls the souls out of the sound. Something no one has been able to do after him in that band.
2017 and I just can't get enough from The Mars Volta ❤
A little CAN reference in there. I like it
the japanese audience digs mars volta
One of the best videos on youtube
Real music, from soul & from stars, Jon Theodore un CAPO TOTAL!!!!!!
One of the hardest working bands, love their work it never stops!
I will always love them! They teached me the path that I want to follow in art
so great, even the video has a TMV watermark
If you listen to that middle interlude, you can recognize some stuff they further developed in Frances the Mute.
i love the crowd cheering when cedric was doing his things
well, if u listen to them live purely from the perspective of how close they sound to the studio records then it's a semi-fail, but when u look at the amount of the energy they put out and how much they enjoy being there at that exact moment then it's a totally different story, u gotta feel it in a way. no band in the world can do what they do live. if u only focus on somewhat bad Cedric's vocals and Omar not hitting the right notes every now and then, ur missing out on something very special.
My name is Jon Theodore, I'm the best drummer in the history of The Mars Volta.
When Ikey hits that high note at 11:55 that is peak trip lol
Japan for me is where the Volta shine particularly well. This and the Sonic Mania performance from 2005 represent the band at their peak.
5:02 this is prime volta!!! these jam sessions live are so mindblowing.This is they way Frances the Mute sounds because of these amazing jams.
this performance makes me want to bounce off the walls and scream and laugh
5:15 That was for the japanese audience...and they totally deserve it
I only listen to Jon Theodore era Mars Volta. This is a dope live version.
Same here, bro.
People always say it's Thomas, but I have to agree it's for sure Jon... Hands down.
I have never heard anyone say they like Thomas. I like Thomas though. I like all the drummers for different reasons but Jon is probably my favourite
@@stephenowen3383 I love Thomas. Theyre both different, but both are amazing.
Thomas was okay I just hate that he always overplayed. Jon could lay the ultimate groove showing perfect in the pocket timing and swing. What more could you as for?
Hail Jon Theodore! RIP Ikey.
everybody talks about looks. I'm amazed by Juan Alderete's sounds.
SO FUCKIN GOOD, GETS ME PUMPED UP STILL TO THIS VERY FUCING DAY
That moment when Omar and Ikey can't help but lust over their instruments. RIP Ikey.
(Also, one of the best Volta live vids where Cedrick didn't inhale helium before singing, or throw boiling hot water at random people for that matter.)
Heroin is a hell of a drug
Would Cedric actually do that? wow lol
What makes these guys such awesome musicians is their sense of timing
5:06 you can tell omar's feelin juan and jon's groove
Jon Theodore is so underrated. He's one of my top 2 drummers favorite drummers.
i love how they only need the one hihat hit to know when to all come in for that first chorus, they seem to do it like that in a bunch of videos of this song ive seen
and keeping that one hihat going... while playing the type beats Jon plays, is nothing short of wizardry.
5:17 CAN
Verguisima. La última parte desde 11:50 al final es pura pinché energía alv
5:17 can-vitamin c
Thank you!
God damn, Jon fucking tore it up here.
this is the best line up a band could ever have
I never knew the guy from It's always Sunny in Philadelphia played bass.
David Barton
TurboLOL
He's not wearing spandex though
David Barton ha ha ha!!!! 👌
He doesn't really, he's just D: Demonstrating value to a girl in the audience that's getting D.E.N.N.I.S.'ed
Dayman fighter of the nightman, champion of the sun. You're a master of karate and friendship for everyone!
The Keyboard player is ALWAYS HAPPY. AS. FUCK. I love it!!!

NOW it s my favorite version of Cicatriz
If there is a reunion (Cedric has hinted on the twitters there may be one), hoping it's Theodore back there...with all due respect to Parks, Elitch and Pridgen
Theodore plays with queens of the stone age now!!!!
@0:47 Omar's guitar spin was epic!
The only thing that's epic in his whole performance..
Jon Theodore is such a force. On a stage with a ton of energy, he stands out, by far
I had a copy of this performance along time ago. GREATNESS!
That moment were u get lost and 14:13 minutes passed by thinking it was only minutes... yup miss the mars volta trips/improve.. Viva la Volta!!
Marble por favor, para cuando el recitaL completo de esta fecha, suena de 10
I miss this version of TMV, no Ikey, no Jon, they still great, but this one group had me always clinging my soul on that fine music.
Omar, Cedric, Jon, and Ikey was definitely the golden age of this band.
The band sounds perfect. The crowd is amazing!
amazing performance ! great band !
9:28 so primate and human
the way their conscious are connected
-if somebody would like to create a real AI artifact
he should try to create this state of mind
“ your losing your losing Your losing Your Vitamin C” CAN!
Amazing!
this is fucking incredible.
da' golden years
incredible concert!nice crowd!
Damn! They are so good!
Theodore is carrying this shit. It's a disaster without him.
Que más puedo decir más buenas referencias de este banda.
I think that this formation is the best!
Jon Theodore now play the maracas with QOTSA.
Juan's bassline at 3:40 sound like John Entwistle.
I love how they slowly build from Juan's bass line also.
Lol the Can reference at 5:15
Which song they are referencing?
@@dieterbohm9700 pretty sure it's just Vitamin C
@@mateodavidgutierrezgonzale6556 Yes, it's that one. Thanks!
Jon theodore inspiration
hello Jon Theodore, I love you. that is all. :>
Me too. I love you, Jon Theodore.
Me three. I love you Jon Theodore.
I think Jon Theodore is the best drummer for TMV than after that Deantoni. :3 but they are all great in my opinion.
I’d say Blake Fleming was their second best drummer after Jon Theodore
untouchable wave!
this is mars volta to me.
awesome
Get this band together again
That's the first pumped up crowed I've ever seen tmv play in front of
