Coheed and Cambria - Delirium Trigger (from Live at The Starland Ballroom)

[@stacyhack8583]

Claudio was my sons hero, idol, Person most respected in life. tonight they played in phx az and I missed it. Eric Thomas was born on March 12 1999. The youngest of my 3 boys... we always had a special bond. He was an excellent guitarist, self taught to Coheed n Cambria. Besides being a musician, he was a friend to so many- positive role model in a tough part of a tough town. Tucson. He got me into Coheed& Cambria, during a difficult time and I Loved the music. My son and his music, the others walking around our house just playing or singing, a crowd most days doing good things. On March 12 2017 we found ourselves at the hospital instead of a birthday celebration for Eric. We learned he was very sick, dying of a rare and nasty cancer. The world lost him on April 16 2017. Easter Sunday. I am the luckiest mom, 18 years of selfless loving wisdom kindness and talent. I AM devastated. I was shocked just recently seeing Mr. Sanchez's birthday, March 12. Your music brought us- many- together in good times and held me together in the pain of the loss of my son. I missed your show today. Next Time, Eric would say.

[@themoniathansnest5404]

Stacy Hack my god, now I’m crying, Claudio is my hero and my inspiration to keep going and to push through my life. He’s my inspiration to make music, he’s the one who really got me into what I play. He’s a truly inspiring man. I’m sorry about your son but I like to think that he is still jamming out in whatever afterlife awaits us. I’m not religious but the one thing I know is there is more for us out there.

[@matthewporter2287]

I'm 18 from Az I was born Nov 17 1999 Ive been a fan since 2012 Ive been playing guitar since 2011. I'll keep the spirit alive I promise!!!!

[@younggrasshopper3531]

Stacy Hack I’m so sorry. I cant imagine. Your son sounds like a beautiful soul. I hope his legacy helps people. So many people need inspiration, and as heartbreaking as your story is, your sons example is inspiring to me. God, this exemplifies how terrible, twisted, and yet beautiful life can be, as Coheeds music artistically portrays so well. Again, my heart goes out to you 😥😥☺️

[@stacyhacke2829]

@@matthewporter2287 I'm Eric's mom, the boy who died of cancer. My oldest son born Nov 18th. Coheed has been what has kept me here. Still around. Thanks for caring. Az can be rough...

[@stacyhacke2829]

@@themoniathansnest5404 I agree,. He is somewhere with coheed either playing it himself or checking out the new jams. I cried even more than usual when I didn't get to check out the new stuff with Eric. But then maybe he heard it before anyone. Whatever you're going through, it will get better or at least change. Change being the one constant in this world. Thank you so much for your reply.

[@athusfelipe9260]

We're now up here alone. Terror on the intercom. Can someone save us? Systems malfunction. Blast it, this damn machine, over and out captain. Something lurks, creeps, on the counter top somewhere behind you. Parasitic cyst, I can't stand to watch. It's coming up and out of your chest. Remember when we were young? Sit up right on the table. A photograph of earth feeding me a way back. Frightened, I tear alone, or maybe not the only one there. Hello...hello. When it rings, will you answer? There, corner. Tall, short stance. It's you, come on kill me! You made a good friend to me But while you were out numbered and torn they made us do things. Dear god, I don't feel alive. When you're cut short of misery will you pray it be the end? Give a look of surprise. Wide eyed to me. Then you'll know just what I am. The scare that triggers your fear. Come know me in a different light. Come know me as god. Run sand hourglass in my time, Will I be worth? Spin round carousal when your horse isn't screwed in. Dear god, I don't feel alive when your cut short of misery. (Raise forth, lost cause) Will you pray it be the end? Give a look surprise wide eyed to me. (Raise forth lost cause) Then you'll know just what I am. (Subtle demise. The legitimate cry) The scare that triggers your fear. Come know me in a different light. Come know me as God. (Raise forth lost cause)

CHILLS

[@GozerTheGozerian]

To me, this song conveys overwhelming emotion from the very first instant, before the singing even starts: A feeling of profound sorrow and loss of hope, of men who know they are minutes from death as a battle rages around their orbital station and everything falls to ruin around them, and the people watching from planetside as warheads scream across the horizon and bloom miles above in the atmosphere, throwing percussive blasts of light over a ruined landscape. The intercom crackles and buzzes with the screams of their battle brothers and sisters. A commander runs to the controls of one of the last functioning orbital cannons, pushing the gunner's corpse out of the seat as klaxons blare and a machine voice warns of depressurization. The bulkheads are closing. He chooses to stay, sighting an enemy in his scope as he lines up his final shot...

[@bobafatt2155]

Awesome

[@sunngen5031]

Very on point, to the point great stuff

[@MrBenbolt]

Imo the starland ball room was their best live performance. Claudios voice was so unique cuz he hadn't figured out to fully control his voice so he was still hitting his highs. And all the band members were just so into it. Putting on a great show.

[@cameronkosak1842]

MrBenbolt when they played there in 2016 I went. It was such a great show

[@chettster]

I don't know about that he sounded really good on Neverender

[@MrBenbolt]

Chet U his voice is so deep now. I prefer this sound cuz it reminds me of second stage and in keeping secrets.

[@AdamDekin]

I don't think that It's that he couldn't control his voice. Feels more like he's at the his voice's breaking point and is still trying to hit the notes Regardless, I agree, one of if not their best live performance.

[@l.r.r.s7535]

I just remember listening to this the first time and being blown away by all the slight improvs he did - the stuff that if he had added it in the studio it would have been too much.

[@aqouby]

I remember watching this when I was younger and nearly crying during it. This is such a great live version of the song.

[@sithspitdanikan4725]

aqouby I'm pretty sure this is one of the many songs i cried toward the end of. I don't really even quite know why. There really is no explaining it, it's just perfection man haha

[@anthonychavez356]

Honestly to me, it's better than the album version Its literally the only song that I can say I like a live video more than the album version

[@josephbarge8099]

Why did you cry? Just curious

[@Stimros_halabad]

@@josephbarge8099 coheed hits the nerves man. It’s goosebumps then it’s beauty and excitement

[@estebanorogel8750]

Dude, these guys have some seriously addictive music this song on repeat

[@I.Am.Gretta]

Me toooooooo

[@jndvs95]

My favorite combo, I like listening to In keeping Secrets first then this. Causes me to imagine a scenario where keeping secrets is the start of the last defense of Earth and delirium trigger is when the battle is over and humans have lost, from the perspective of one of the last defense stations as the invaders are cleaning up

[@dwaterson21]

Claudio could be considered a rock god just for the complex and hard-banging riffs he writes alone. But then he sings on top of them, AND is playing multiple characters with different voices in those lyrics. Absolutely unreal, one of the best bands of all time and will, guaranteed, be a criminal snub for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[@DomSchu]

Best version of this song imo

[@mikaelnieminen286]

Got this dvd for Christmas back in 2005. As a teenager back then, I used to watch this dvd every day during that dark cold winter and played my guitar along with their performance . It also came with a CD and I remember listening to it with my green Walkman in the mornings on my way to school. Brings back lots of good memories of those care free times. Time flies. I still have the dvd in my shelf. I think I'm gonna watch it together with my son.

This show is easily Coheed's best live performance. I can come back to it years later and still be blown away by the energy.

[@imamq0]

My goodness! We played this in the bar way back 2016. My favorite part while I play the bass is shouting "Raise forth lost cause" and "Subtle demise the legitimate cry".

God Damn, a lot of energy in this performance. Sometimes you can tell when Claudio is tired or out of breath. They sound amazing.

[@jndvs95]

Not many lead singers also play guitar in a lead fashion. He really is incredible. The times he sounds out of breath almost entrances the song

Just...this song in general, it has that unkempt, wild sound, where just pure emotion is just emitting through its sounds and vocals. Songs like this, studio and live, it has that emotion shown. I fuckin love the Second Stage Turbine Blade album man...such a good album

[@untermensch731]

i often listen to this instead of the studio version because he just sounds so hurt and expressive in this. it's almost better.

[@dlbfanclub]

when i see the drummer and bassist communicate like that on stage, I can see just how in the pocket he is back there in his kit.

I just watched a live from Facebook and they were playing Delirium Trigger on a concert! Too bad the video was lagging so bad that they had to cancel the transmition.. I was looking foward to see how Coheed managed to age this performance after 11 years!!! This performance is amazing, I doubt it can be any better!

Real talent in music is when a band sounds literally better live than even their studio recordings. Genre doesn’t matter. This band brings 110% to every show and always sound as good or better than studio, and with the crazy notes Claudio hits… it’s unreal. One of the best of their era, easily.
