Bro. The atmosphere when they played live with the original lineup (Juan, Thomas or John T., Ikey, Isaac) was something truly special. Miss that so much
De las mejores presentaciones que hay de The Mars Volta en UA-cam, con mención especial para Juan Alderete, que infravalorado está, uno de los mejores bajistas de su generación.
This performance perfectly reflects the trajectory of this band. Just like this performance, they had their moments of absolute greatness mixed with moments of humanity, and yes, mistakes. In the beginning, they had not landed on their sound just yet. Experimenting, they searched for what would work for them, working with those who have been there before (De-Loused in the Comatorium), slowly and continually rising. Mistakes are made but at the expense of self-discovery. They start their peak, they reach genius/autistic musician levels with their ordered chaos jams (Frances the Mute/Amputechture). The rocket is taking off, and if you want to be a part of something epic, you better get on. "Salsa music on Acid" is going to be the next big thing. That rocket lifts off and they let that it carry them around the world as far as it can (Bedlam in Goliath). After which, they bring things down for a break and try the mellow thing for a while (Octahedron), only to build up momentum again for one last dying of breath. Line-ups and members change but the song remains the same. Their last reach misses 90% of their listening audience and then they kind of taper off and fade out (Noctourniquet). The 10% who got it beg for more and the resulting side projects only tickle their craving instead of satisfying it (Bosnian Rainbows). Sadly, those who stuck around don't realize they're leaving until they abruptly end. Those who jumped ship a while ago don't even realize that they're done and gone.
listen to pridgen try and describe his time signatures and tempo changes is hilarious. he doesn't even know what to call half the stuff he does, he just knows how to do it. also the strongest right foot i've ever heard, right up there alongside zach hill (hella, most notably)
Never thought I could ever say this... but damn - drummer looks like he is effortlessly pulling off a NASA launch, while a gentle breeze blows through his hair. Top notch talent.
Anthony Pinkos my brother is a drummer, and showed me a video of his waaaay back. I had noooo idea he had joined these guys. So silly. This right here is a real supergroup.
One of the best bass players alive... Juan Alderete de la Peña ! Follow his astonishing performances with the Omar Rodríguez-López Group, a pinnacle of taste and precision skills (coupled with the great Deantoni Parks, a drummer way better suited for this genre than Thomas Pridgen, a.k.a. "the annoying continuous chop-generator")
Lol. Thanks for pointing that out. That's hilarious. Brann is a beast in his own right, but the look on his face says to me; "Aw, c'mon man! We're supposed to follow THAT!?"
I was at that show. Half of us in the crowd loved it, including myself, baffled, and the other half weren’t ready for it and didn’t know what to think.
yep and they black balled him in the end.. he was the messenger between the two during their falling out and o/c claimed he was giving each of them false information. trying to geta piece of the pie that he indeed helped bake, he brought them every drummer they ever had. and held that bass tone down
really nice version. Well played, Cedric. Juan was always the force of nature in this band, they had such virtuoso drummers especially with Pridgen the mr Alderate was just so important.
this is stunning, absolutely legendary in it's beauty. Music isnt supposed to be perfect, nothing is. These gentlemen did something special, not perfect, but special.
amazing version, i miss so much this band, and the previously band at the drive in, de facto too. this group is so good that every thing they do is great.
Coolest thing about this video is how you can see Brann Drailor in the back at around 1:30. It looks like he is just jamming to how much of a beast Thomas Pridgen is.
magorestes no para nada yo los vi en vivo en varias ocasiones y la gente siempre se quedaba así es que es difícil asimilar lo que uno está presenciando
que orgullo ver la bandera de mi país (Mexico) nos damos cuenta que a pesar de la mierda musical que normalmente inundan aki, hay quienes se preocupan por el buen gusto musical y representarnos a nivel mundial... gracias TMV son el desmadre total¡¡¡¡ viva Mexico y Viva el Rock...... Saludos
This is probably one of the best performances Pridgen had with Mars Volta.It's not that he's a bad drummer. Many people seem to think that. I just never thought he quite fitted in in style dynamics, but here he's fucking rippin' it.
Are you talking about the drum work in the three first records? I´ve donde some investigation and it seems that Omar was the main composer of every instrument actually.
+Jonás Carrillo sure he's a great composer and he oversees their albums from concept to fruition but Jon Theodore is is one of the best drummers out there.
+Jonás Carrillo plus, I'm commenting on this live video, where Jon is obviously playing drums, not Omar. Are you sure Omar played all the instruments in the studio? Sounds incredibly time consuming and inefficient.
+JuiceBoxBiotch Oh I'm sorry I thought I was commenting on another video. Yeah Jon looks a bit more like Dane Cook than this guy, lol. But anyway yeah, I highly doubt you're listening to Omar on the albums they recorded before they fired Jon (which they later regretted, understandably).
Man, I remember when i first saw these guys when i was a teenager several years ago... it's nice to see they still got it going, their love for music has never died.
I saw them in Sweden on this tour, didn't really know much about the band before then, but they have been one of my favourite bands for the past 15 years. Thank you TMV for all the music
It's been 2 years... Figures.. I saw them Monday and it was the best I have ever seen them. Cedric's voice could not have been anymore on. I've watched a band from my home town become everything I have ever wanted in a band and win a Grammy. Keep practicing kid...
![The Mars Volta - Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt [Live] 2005-02-05 - Chiba, Japan - Makuhari Messe](/img/n.gif)
The Mars Volta is what happens when a whole band overplays their parts, and i love it
One of the best live shows I’ve been too
I love how Juan is playing a 9 minute solo on bass, just sitting in beautifully between everyone. He's a master of his craft.
Love the mastodon guys in the background just soaking it up
2013 Me: Who is Mastodon?
2019 Me: OH MY GAHD! IT'S MASTODON!
Jesus christ, it’s nice to hear juan in the mix for once, that man shreeeeddddds
Cedric was just in absolute top form this day. Not a damn note off, it's really quite something.
Brann Dailor watching Thomas from the sidelines, lol!
Justin Gulbransen and Brent Hinds at 2:56!
Bro. The atmosphere when they played live with the original lineup (Juan, Thomas or John T., Ikey, Isaac) was something truly special. Miss that so much
that's not the original lineup
Incredible....the bass player gets a gold medal here
The one and only Juan Alderete.
the true force of nature in this band
pridgen is a beast... goddamn church drummers
one of the greatest bands of humanity's entire existence.
“This is the haunt of roulette dares... weuweuweuweuweu 🎶”
By far the best performance of Roulette Dares I've ever seen.
this is one of the greatest live performances ever
It's cool, but vocals could've been better
Fuck, everyone is just going off here. Every single instrument is fucking amazing. One of, if not the best version of this song I’ve heard.
Thomas Pridgen is unbelievable
4:23 to 5:00 - Cedric absolutely nailed it. Fucking beautiful and haunting at the same time
Bass man gives it a full send and gets exactly zero camera time. Complete BS
3:24
Juan won
6:55 smashed my heart to the floor.
Juan Alderete es el hombre
@@nelsonsilvaapiolaza7516 totalmente.
Only now am I understanding the coolness of the bass in this song.
Cedric hit some brutal high notes, I mean 4:54 damn
Damn Juan on his Jaco shit. Underappreciated af
R.I.P Isaiah

I see why Juan Alderete has been on so much of Omar's solo projects. Juan is a fuckin incredible bassist
All that shredding with Racer X paid off in the end.
This performance perfectly reflects the trajectory of this band.

Man Ive been I massive MV fan but never seen this live performance, so tight, so soulful and what a rendition!!!
That's a sad part of a music lover. You won't get to see loads of bands you love play live. MV (especially 04) being one of them.
Tbh I'm happy as long is this is preserved for generations :)
The drummer is a beast!
Thomas Pridgen is his name, he lives in the SF Bay Area and plays jazz with some folks here when he isnt touring with various bands
What the hell is this energy
RHCPaddicted98 its called cocaine or cocaina in spanish jeje
speraza no way! They also pop some ecstasy and/or LSD as well haha.
Sean Sullivan not true. they all are completely clean at this point. except pridgen who smokes a fuckton of weed
Thomas Pridgen dude...
Chaotic neutral?
This is hands down the best version of this song. What a classic. Thanks for the footage
Mmmm check this from Mexico vive latino 2004 that one is my favorite
The amount of talent in this band is unreal
That drum timing is totally bananas.
Omar's melodic riffs are the shizzle.
listen to pridgen try and describe his time signatures and tempo changes is hilarious. he doesn't even know what to call half the stuff he does, he just knows how to do it. also the strongest right foot i've ever heard, right up there alongside zach hill (hella, most notably)
@@tlester19 I play drums yea agreed he's a god damned beast
Most of this is 6/4
I love hearing that man play the drums…❤❤❤❤
That bass sends tho
Never thought I could ever say this... but damn - drummer looks like he is effortlessly pulling off a NASA launch, while a gentle breeze blows through his hair. Top notch talent.
Anthony Pinkos my brother is a drummer, and showed me a video of his waaaay back. I had noooo idea he had joined these guys. So silly. This right here is a real supergroup.
Thomas Pridgen is great! But he stopped playing with TMV bcus they're demonic, and he didn't like that...! 😎💋
5:42 goddamn that's some excellent live bass tone.

Brann from mastodon watching from the side 🤙
Lol. Thanks for pointing that out. That's hilarious. Brann is a beast in his own right, but the look on his face says to me; "Aw, c'mon man! We're supposed to follow THAT!?"
Brann Dailor of mastodon on the side of the stage checkin out the superb drumming.
I spent the first half dancing like a crazy person. I spent the second half in my chair like, omg.
I was at that show. Half of us in the crowd loved it, including myself, baffled, and the other half weren’t ready for it and didn’t know what to think.
I'm a long life drummer but it's crazy how Juan carried the band in and out. jeez that guy was cooking
Juan has always been the glue that held this whole thing together. Most underrated bassist of all time
yep and they black balled him in the end.. he was the messenger between the two during their falling out and o/c claimed he was giving each of them false information. trying to geta piece of the pie that he indeed helped bake, he brought them every drummer they ever had. and held that bass tone down
Your not ready for it but your kids are gonna love it!!!!
oh yeahhhh its amazing but this is Y u have 2 turn your kids on to the term OUTSIDE the BOX....B Yoself ...MASTERFUL
Mastodon approves just off stage
4:55 HOLY *FUCK* @.@
Probably the nicest, cleanest, energetic note I've ever heard Cedric sing !
The guy in the monitor touch his ear xD
Opik-oort Nubem I noticed !! Lol
One of the most original sounding bands of all time
This band is not appreciated now. Posting this for 50 years from now.
They absolutely nail this one
Best live version of it, definitely.
Cedrics vocals from 4:22-5:00 are straight up insane
Straight up godly
Fooooooreal
Drummer is jammin' the fuck out.
I don't think another band can ever match up to TMV greatness. Six epic albums that are more than just music to me.
They are more "experiences" than "albums"
SoySauce HairDye Amen to that.
A-fuckin-MEN
really nice version. Well played, Cedric. Juan was always the force of nature in this band, they had such virtuoso drummers especially with Pridgen the mr Alderate was just so important.
Juan Alderete's bass playing is the real gem of this clip.
RIP Ikey
man, look at him...he was totally enjoying this...he will be missed.
As more time passes you realize that they are legendary...immortals
Wow, Juan Alderete is a god.
Yes he is what holds this chaos down he is very very fucking good.
drew mckenzie just listen to the bass playing from 5:28 and on!!
These videos made me look up who the bass player was. Juan is a god. Love his stuff with Big Sir and his Pedals and Effects youtube channel.
r.i.p. ikey owens..keyboardist for this performance...
RIP Ikey Owens
Captain Howdy :'c
this is stunning, absolutely legendary in it's beauty. Music isnt supposed to be perfect, nothing is. These gentlemen did something special, not perfect, but special.
I love how they make it rain with their awesomeness.
This is still my favorite live performances from any band, i love watching live performances to, reminds me i need to go to more shows.
so hard to find good recordings of them with halfway decent audio mixing and quality. super cool.
Have you listened to this recording of them? It's the best one that I have found by far
ua-cam.com/video/zHyzk73AtTc/v-deo.htmlsi=cxuCr93wcpWzFGEq
@marshall3278 you can hear the bass exactly! Here!
Mars Volta should always be the night slot at a festival. Middle of the day is crime. Still slay it.
Shout out to all drummers that are here just for prigen! :D
Right back at ya!
what an amazing bass tone in the mix. It may be the best I heard Juan play live during the jam 5:30 - 9:40
Juan bass is crisp!
4:18 sick and dope , dude my soul wants to escape from my body
yeah this is one of their best live videos for sure
thomas pridgen
the drummer is fucking insane man
amazing version, i miss so much this band, and the previously band at the drive in, de facto too. this group is so good that every thing they do is great.
omg to see mars volta with thomas pridgen.
Coolest thing about this video is how you can see Brann Drailor in the back at around 1:30. It looks like he is just jamming to how much of a beast Thomas Pridgen is.
YES so true. I just noticed that
Uno de los mejores performances de TMV y la gente está comiendo camote.
magorestes no para nada yo los vi en vivo en varias ocasiones y la gente siempre se quedaba así es que es difícil asimilar lo que uno está presenciando
@@JC_ORTIZ yo soy de México y cuando los fui a ver todas las veces, la gente estaba encendida, es imposible no contagiarse de energía.
Suertudos :,(
i guess Video doesn't pick up bass players
♥ JUAN ♥
the fucking daddy
Brann Dailor got some lessons there
Aurelio Moreira lame
@@sharpshizz shame ....
that man sure can hit a drum
some of the best music every made
the best of his vocal performance I've ever seen. and I'm not a huge fan. wonderful musicians. outstanding they are awesome.
que orgullo ver la bandera de mi país (Mexico) nos damos cuenta que a pesar de la mierda musical que normalmente inundan aki, hay quienes se preocupan por el buen gusto musical y representarnos a nivel mundial... gracias TMV son el desmadre total¡¡¡¡ viva Mexico y Viva el Rock...... Saludos
PTM, nunca nada será igual a TMV
Sin dudas!
Look at the Cedric's smile at the end of the vocal phrase 4:24. He knows he nailed it!
This performance is a piece of musical work getting laid out there!!! Holly shit
This is a musical masterpiece...imagine sitting down and coming up with this composition even in a jam session!!!! led zep who?
@@phunkidruma hell yeah man
hell yeah, Mastodon on the side stage representing.
Funny watchimg Mastodon guys learning from these guys ha ha
4:38 - YES!
juan alderete is soooo fucking great!
I wish we had a video of this performance only showing him. he fucking killed it!
flea kilt it 2 on the studio version
drkillpatient100 hey the black man did a great job why do you have to say flea kilt it give the black man his props you punk
This is probably one of the best performances Pridgen had with Mars Volta.It's not that he's a bad drummer. Many people seem to think that. I just never thought he quite fitted in in style dynamics, but here he's fucking rippin' it.
My favorite live performance of Roulette. They nailed the living shit out of it, and casually you got Brann Dailor on the sidelines
I didn't think it was possible to find someone as good as Jon Theodore.
Are you talking about the drum work in the three first records? I´ve donde some investigation and it seems that Omar was the main composer of every instrument actually.

Flawless. Even God was impressed with this performance.
Man, I remember when i first saw these guys when i was a teenager several years ago... it's nice to see they still got it going, their love for music has never died.
Esto es una puta maravilla.
Lo dijiste bien
Los escuche en 2010 solo una vez. Los encuentro otra vez 12 años despues... Estuve perdido
love how Brann Dailor is just admiring the drumming
Dan Gee so is Brent
that section between 0:20 - 9:46 is fuuuuucked
Juan. killing.
Cedric singing into a magic wand ...
I saw them in Sweden on this tour, didn't really know much about the band before then, but they have been one of my favourite bands for the past 15 years. Thank you TMV for all the music

Thomas Pridgen=JOY
The Insiiiiiiide part is really awesome here!! Wow, gave me goosebumps...
And Omars guitar playing is damn fast here! They are only getting better
Pridgen pounding out that energy...wow!!!
The last minute of this video always blows my mind, wish that part was made into a whole song.
Epic! Wishing for the next show.
That was literally one of the best things i've ever seen/heard in my entire life
Goat band
