At The Drive-In - Quarantined

(Live)

[@bernzeppi]

Fantastic! I directed this, didn't know who at the drive in were at the time. All I knew was they must be important because so many record industry people turned up for this on Th Joint. Thanks for posting. Awesome flashback for me!

[@bernzeppi]

+mattandckybiatch yep... I feel lucky, no doubt about that

[@HockeyPwnsBaseball]

This is the best I have ever heard ATDI sound live. Thank you.

[@bernzeppi]

Thanks for that Hockey... Most appreciated. ill pass that on

[@willemdafuq3679]

hehe i produced ''live'' studio videos like this too with emerging bands and some unknowns and though none became as big as them, still feels so great to have helped those bands and see them grow now for those that made it, perhaps partially thanks to the videos we loved making. Almost gave them out to them too.

[@Mysterywhiteboy78]

+Bernie Zelvis i was speaking to Andrew Scheps on saturday that worked on the first Mars Volta album he only had good things to say about Cedric and Omar.

[@DuckofaPato]

That bassline is just sex.

[@InTheDecay]

God I love this version. So emotional and weird, and psychedelic.

[@MidKnightKid98]

I really like the live version. To me it almost sounds emo. The guitar riff sounds very medical, like an ambulance, or padded room. Also kinda makes me imagine/fantasize some oldschool car, throttle pinned, angry, roaring, it's lights flickering from all the vibration, accelerating. It feels like someone going bonkers and trying to crash their car and end up in an ambulance

[@LaCooper]

for those who dont know, these guys split up, the lead guitarist and vocals (omar and cedric) moved on to create the masterpiece 'The Mars Volta' while the other guitarist moved on and started the band Sparta. both great bands and both worth checking out if you like these guys.

[@jabread8907]

🤙

[@HockeyPwnsBaseball]

This might be the best live recording of a song on KZbin

[@someguynamedvictor]

This is why ATDI are timeless. It was never about repetition or finesse but about energy!

[@richarddietl3760]

These guys were like a filter for all the indie stuff i was listening to at the time. They removed the husk and got right to the meat!

[@tmiicon2925]

yes I was angry at the time at their irreverence but I understood they were right and it was time to strip it all down and amp it all the way up! Now I'm glad they did it.

[@Santosv708]

Tmi Icon so truth

band of my life, help me through on the hard ways of youth!

[@HockeyPwnsBaseball]

God, this song is so good. One of the best off Relationship of Command, and maybe one of my favorite songs ever.

[@woobiehastelly]

Tony is so under-appreciated. Look at the dude go!

[@michaelmaier6649]

woobiehastelly hello from NY! Stay inside

[@s4mcote]

Epic...I became a fan of The Mars Volta this year, and I didn't know that Omar and Cedric were once in a band called At The Drive-In, a band of which I had heard of before. I bought Relationship of Commandm and I was blown away. Especially by Cedric's voice: aggressive, loud and surprisingly better than his work in The Mars Volta. I love both band, and I know these guys evolved since At The Drive-In break out...but in my opinion they were at their peak in their last "At The Drive-In years".

[@EKunzman]

Every single time I watch this, I am in utter awe of the technical/experimental skill they have in this song.

[@francesthemute04]

cedric and omar's progression towards the volta is so evident in this song

[@RonnieRonnie3697]

Aw heck, I hear it, too! It's kinda like Cicatriz Esp, eh?

[@reefergoat]

The way Cedric comes in on the final chorus is amazing. Pure, raw emotion.

[@gbrooks2]

De-Loused in the Comatorium, TMV's first full-length release is hands-down the best album I've ever listened to. Huge fan of ATD-i as well. Songs like Lopsided and Non-Zero Possibility solidify them as one of my favorites.

[@joewitowski54]

"Our tuners don't travel, Our tuners don't travel."

[@ZitiPatrol]

I understand these guys don't like moshing/crowd surfing/anything physical towards heavy emotional music, but it's kind of hard when your music is so fucking sexy.

[@tmiicon2925]

hello from the future! yeh Cedric is so spazy on stage it kind've seems hypocritical to ask the listener to not be impacted by the sonic feeding frenzy:P

[@FuryoftheSound]

Their stage presence is amazing.

[@sankorn]

Bass and drumms lines are incredible in this song. What a version!

[@joeycalderon1556]

I saw TMV and Sparta within 2 weeks of each other this summer. Still holding out hop for a ATDI reunion before I die

[@ted.the.human1]

dope ass bass line and song

[@markjacobs6597]

TEd miss these guys......

[@CMBlue]

That guitar riff is nothing to fuck with too

[@ruffdoggy420]

this is my favorite live performance of them. so damn good. and yeah, the bass is amazing.

[@EsotericArcade]

You always come back for more with this video.

[@eric43085]

the best live version of any song ever

[@darlingdiva215]

When I first heard this song about 8 years ago, I immediately thought, "This is what I've been DYING hear.." It's my standard for anything I hear now. Good base, killer electric guitar riffs, great vocals and genius lyricism.

[@ExternusArmy]

10 year old comment but I love the double sequiturs in the second verse. The net was flung over auditorium/the slave trade (‘em) - slave trade the weak, the weak no call to arms. What word play

[@charmicarmicat2981]

Anytime I hear thunder I automatically attach this bass line to it

[@Skippymoogoose90]

Or Tupelo by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds

[@pythonbyte]

what a band to discover in 2000, they sounded like nothing else.

[@belenxahardy]

COOL! Discovering this band thanks to a friend's t-shirt. Love 'em so far.

“Warden and judge hide behind masks...”

[@Bawsroot]

Without a doubt the craziest band I've ever seen. I didn't know who they were, but, they stunned about 3000 people @ T in the Park 2000 into complete awe struck silence. Unfortunate that I'll never get to see them again. Truly unique.

[@DBdeadbolt]

I love ATDI, TMV, and Sparta so much, you cant critisize these guys for being the amazing musicians they are.

[@dmsqwerty]

Damn...been a while since I've listened to this song

[@jcheyennemeyer]

And I seem to've forgotten the warmth of the sunnnnnnnnnnnn

[@K1LLtheSWITCH]

At The Drive-In, your Mars Volta is showing!

[@joeferreti9442]

This recording of this song is so good!

[@varethika]

'a single spark can start a spectral fire..' what a great fuckin band ATD-iN was.

[@BREAKOUT444]

Soundtrack to me banging my head against the walls right now

[@vod64]

I felt old and revisited this album.. Read an article talking about how it has aged well. The article was already 2 years old. In short, I now feel extra old. Still... One of the best albums of all time.

[@iamnavitis]

1000% the dopest thing from 2006 youtube.

[@Thashining]

I get the chills every time I hear this

[@mattcutrer8622]

6:51, Ced's power...holy shit.

[@idlehands1111111111]

i love this band so much! Have trigger will travellllll

[@animemefreak74]

this is such a good band. I first listened to one armed scissor. I love this band

[@werdnaenryb]

It's amazing that after not hearing this song for years I can still remember every word. Made more amazing by the fact that I have absolutely no idea what they're actually talking about.

[@antes-radio]

who else here because of corona?

[@Sammysam62]

Me

[@robbru3112]

[@krilin31]

I first saw this video like 5 years ago, it still remains one of my favorite live performances of any song ever.

[@themarsvoltafan1215]

Am I the only one who here's Omar wanting to play interstellar overdrive in the middle?

[@Nightswim_]

Man do i miss this Cedrics voicen

[@Nightswim_]

I'm going to see them live finally after 15 years! I hope the vibe is like this and not novelty type stuff. This is beautiful

[@reggiehammond1420]

+sara gaste they will be good at the very least theyll murder napoleon solo believe that

[@h1ckfil]

So clear. Such excellent tones.

[@musicgetsmehigh1989]

holy shite.....that was insanely brilliant!

[@rigoblues]

SICK! this video is one of their biggest aproaches to tmv-esque sound imo.

[@Dnoth13]

kinda nostalgic

[@zwn4091]

wow that was awesome, thanks for the upload

[@thrasher305]

awesome performance! They are insane musicians.

[@addham6236]

hell yeah boi

[@CaptainGalacticMusic]

The vocals are better than the album!

[@NathanFiorentino]

I like this version of the song in general better than the album version.

[@maxrox92]

that was amazing!!! that improvisation bit was the BEST though! i love when he starts to use the ring mod...just cause those things are so incredibly fun to listen to. :P

[@JoeGibb]

this is just amazing, I can't listen to this song enough. the bass is epic.

[@avelinomike]

killer

[@leon010]

Simply Brilliant!

[@Nofidelityproject]

Omg this is perfect . Favorite video on KZbin currently

[@mrsilence666]

Great performance of an awesome track from arguably the best album I've ever had the privilege to hear.

[@TheOutsider0099]

Nice to remember!!...One of my favourites!! Awesome.

[@thecubeprojects]

amazing ! band OMG!

[@slippage10]

I can't believe how amazing this is..

[@allthewine]

i saw mars volta twice once when they were first starting out and then later when they had become kinda semi famous.the 1st time around was the best.they still had eva playing bass and me and my friends got to meet them.

[@Chichar0ckz]

love them

[@telmovaz]

one of my favorite bands of all time. i never got to see them live :(

[@joshcky0113]

ya know what the best thing about atdi is? theyre songs, ACTUALLY have MEANING, can you believe that? nothing nowdays does.

[@UniversityOfMunich]

The thing at 4:55 is a melodica. They were invented as a cheap instrument for children to learn to read music with, but they got pretty popular with experimental types - particularly new wave inspired bands in the 80s.

[@leeumhopkins]

chorus sounds super rich, like the album, and the set lighting illuminates pure power.

[@BRDfrmthafiveotree]

i love everyone that loves this band ...i have every cd put out..i want a reunion AHHH

[@ramnalfredsson]

you sure can. amazing band

[@helmetgirl2]

Relationship of Command was far and away their best album. This is cool glimpse into what Cedric and Omar would bring to The Mars Volta. Forget music labels, this is legend.

[@DeficitAttentionProg]

At The Drive In are back! After 11 years of separation! Thank god.

[@allsfullofluv]

amazing!at the drive in got me into atomic physics and ill always learn from the music and cedrics lyrics

[@Reegatron]

[@Salobatera]

DO CARALHOO VOCÊS ! Sólido e sincero sentimento oportuno sobre vossas expressões musicais... grato, brothers!!

[@UGCrocks]

Holy crap they were so good. I really, really miss them.

[@grindking88]

really nice... in my view the best live version of all atdi songs on youtube

[@janderkin]

God Damn this is an amazing recording

[@juggernautproduktion]

Nice work Steve, we watched a live recording of Florence and the machine I think it was? 8 years ago now on V and Steve filmed it or was in charge of the shots or on one of the cameras and I don't know shit but was impressed with what I was seeing in terms of cuts. Cool to see, as a musician, the different jobs coming into effect to make a live show viewable and audible. Respect to all you V camera crew and thanks for all the big day outs plus many more live entertainment over the years. Dain
