Claudio Sanchez, Travis Stever, Josh Eppard, Mic Todd
4:38 Devil in Jersey City

From my recollection, this is the first show post-Shabutie AS Coheed and Cambria.
Not sure who filmed this (might have been me). I was definitely at this show as I was both working the event and my brother's band Evil Kitty played directly before Coheed.

hes playing the absolute wrong axe for the music. that guitar is meant to play wonderful tonight by eric clapton. still kills it. lifelong fan. this video is amazing!

[@lorenapuente9720]

I fell in love with Coheed the moment I saw them playing live in Tulsa back in 2003. They opened for AFI and they were like, "We know you're all just here for AFI.." And I was like, "NOOOOO YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!" ❤❤❤ So this is great, because it proves they were ALWAYS amazeballs

[@VideInfra]

Ah u wanted to go to that tour so bad but I think Davey messed up his voice and it was canceled for the LA show.

[@fat_mason]

I was at that show! It was my very first concert ever and I'd never heard of Coheed until that night. Been a fan ever since. 💪 Incredible night.

[@RolodexEnigma]

I'm from Nyack. My grandmother worked at Letchworth and I vividly remember this room from my childhood memories. Claudio worked at the old church turned venue. The Nyack Center / The Back Door. I went to The Nyack Center for summer camp. We must have spent a good deal of time around each other, but I don't remember him. I just think it's amazing that such an ordinary man had so much creativity and talent in him. I had the pleasure of meeting him many years ago. Such a kind and gentle person.

[@Theogvineofthedead]

This is just insane to see, I wish there was more of Josh on video, I need to see how open his mouth is.

Go listen to Shabutie. They were wild all over the place with their genres.

wOW Wish I could have seen this so long ago at their beginnings! it gives me goose bumps. I can not imagine music or my life without Coheed IMO.

[@perryborn2777]

Not really taboo in my opinion He was a super unique bassist, and it's sad that he's not in the band anymore. The circumstances he left under were terrible, but I don't think he should be shunned forever because of it. They couldn't have found a better replacement than Cooper though, that dude rocks

[@osoperezoso2608]

I saw them this exact year after their record came out. They were on tour with Breaking Pangaea and they played in front of 50 people packed in this tiny spot where I lived. I was right in front of Claudio's face and I'll never forget that experience.

[@davidthibault6652]

Saw them 2 years later in '03 open for Thrice and Thursday and instantly fell in love.

[@chrislaurentz8495]

I saw them in November 03 on that same tour. Their van had gotten jacked and Claudio played like 5 songs acoustic

[@davidthibault6652]

@@chrislaurentz8495 that's crazy I saw them a month before that in October at The Norva in Norfolk, they were playing and their PA system blew out like midway through the second song. Claudio just shrugged and said "We're just gonna keep playing" and they continued to perform knowing they only had like a 5-6 song set. I was going nuts, because of instead of playing they forged ahead, that was the exact moment I fell in love with them. Then midway through the next song it kicked in and the whole place went bananas. Man such a good memory, I think everyone remembers the first time they heard/see Coheed live. Dang sorry didn't realize this was so long. TL:DR Neat little Coheed story from '03

[@joelmiddaugh8229]

Saw the same show at Numbers in Houston, but Coheed's bus was late so they didn't have time to set up and instead we got a solo Claudio acoustic set. Even better. Then Thursday then Thrice.

[@Fis4Fil]

Letchworth Village! Damn, that place is haunted AF. I'm glad my High School years these guys kept playing Nyack, even when they got big they would come home and play a show. Best was packing out Olives with Thursday. Geoff from Thursday was dating a girl who worked at the ice cream spot down the road. Those times will be cherished forever.

[@thewillingwell2113]

I first found Coheed thanks to the Warped Tour 2003 compilation that included Delirium Trigger. I had never felt the way I felt when I heard that song for the first time. It was so original and unlike anything I’d ever heard. I immediately knew they’d become one of my favorite bands, and here I am almost 20 years later and it’s still true. Seeing this gives me goosebumps, they’ve had a profound impact on my life.

Weird moment for me because Coheed is my favorite band followed closely by Deftones. And I can’t stop seeing Claudio as Chino here.

[@fatjonseatingadventures5429]

Young Claudio was so angsty and agile

This version of Claudio is wild! Pure, raw energy! I can see a lot of old Claudio in present-day Claudio. Both own the stage and really throw themselves at the performance. Due to experience, today's Claudio has a lot more control over his voice. However, he still retains the same energy and passion as before. The band as a whole is also killing it! Thanks for the upload! It was a pleasure to travel back in time!

[@jessehenderson2967]

As someone who just spent years in what would eventually be a dead end band, I fucking love that Claudio really had found his voice THIS early. I know they got a lot of pushback for his vocal style and i guarantee they heard "Just sing ""normally"" or whatever" a shit load early on and he was sure already this was his. I envy that so much.

[@alihart7849]

Oh wow, almost 6 minutes of nothing happening, then they launch into the song. His voice is unmistakeable, and they sound so damn good. Kinda caught me by surprise

[@fortunebubble1cent864]

That part where Claudio says "The Neverender" would be the opening track... turned out to be one of the last tracks on the album. But hey, SSTB is solid imo. Just think its neat to hear that.
