Ohshit 😮 is that loud ferigno on drums

[@DanJanTube]

I just realized this band is now eligible for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, for which they are indubitably overqualified.

[@EricJh21690]

Should be first ballot for sure

[@babyshaker8932]

Still 3 sexual assault charges shy from qualification I'm afraid. There is a clause if your wife is younger than your grandchildren which will allow automatic entry so there is still time.

22 years later still opening shows with regular John

[@xxxserchxxx]

Not in Barcelona./Spain..a lot of years, lots of countries, lot of concerts...and i can´t remember last time they played it ...f***ng Hel!!....hope that he never stops with Go with the flow...f***ng Hel!!

[@howardkisgay3543]

I just saw them a month or so ago in Seattle and they opened with it. The lighting on it was genuinely MINDBLOWING. Somehow the stage behind them was pitch black and the purple and orange lights made them look ethereal. Of course I’ve always loved the song and it was super badass. Ended with Song For the Dead too, fucking best show I’ve ever seen.

[@raineyjon]

I noticed this when they opened with this song the other night in Irving. It was such a cool effect, out of nowhere it was like this 3D thing, we all looked at eachother like did you see that? It was just those few times during the bridge then they didn’t do it again the entire show.

[@Jeff.mp3]

Gotta be the best opening song ever

[@omgitzrender]

They opened with Regular John in Houston for us! It was definitely a crazy night lol

[@Mndudecollects]

Definitely my favorite era of this band. Raw desert power. The slide guitar was a nice touch

[@danpye9557]

lol. Nice touch on that there slide brah.

[@bola-8alcatraz87]

Man So cool to see how queens had so many phases and so many vibes This is completely different from nowadays performances But the essence is still there Not saying one thing is better them other , just cool to see how things can change and the variety

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

🎯💯🙏🏼 Preach!

[@amjh4lah809]

They're probably the best band in the world right now.

[@Hevvvyyy]

Definitely, every era was slightly different but still rocked

[@corycourtney8923]

I'll say it for you. It was better when Nick was in the band.

[@amjh4lah809]

@@corycourtney8923 Nah. He was great, and so were the band. But now they're on another level.

[@scottallen9556]

THE ARCHIVE coming through with one of the best show recordings ever, as usual! Thanks for being THE source for the best shows out here.🎄

A BIG TEXAS THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS SHOW 🤘🏻🤠🤘🏻💯🇨🇱

[@Vince-dp9qq]

Might be one of the best Mexicola performances

[@thesmeag2330]

bro i was thinking that to myself, sounds so tight man just killer performance overall

[@unitshift]

Absolutely

[@brandocalrissian3294]

When Josh and nick were getting along they were so great together. Too bad those days are gone.

[@paulwisham5943]

Indeed

[@actionjackson5535]

No Bob's garage is, plz lookup that performance

[@ninaaa9872]

this version of you can’t quit me baby might be the best live performance of any song/any band i’ve ever seen for real

How good is it!

[@stuartewoldt1513]

Time stamp?

[@ericwright8177]

This bass player is beast

[@ryanbenedetti-kp2yx]

Nick Oliveri was always my favorite of the QOTSA Bass players, that man wrote some amazing bass riffs and was always great on the back up vox or screams. You Can't Quit Me Baby is one of the rawest basslines of all time. Just gets you groovin, and his energy was always great.

[@actionjackson5535]

GIVE THE MULE WHAT IT WANTS

[@grey5963]

​​@@ryanbenedetti-kp2yxI think all the bass on the self titled was written by Josh and later Nick joined for rated R I thought? That's why the teenage hand model ends with the phone call of Nick joining the band

[@marycreaser6802]

​@@ryanbenedetti-kp2yx If only the band would let him guest star and perform Quick/Pointless...

[@billybutcher4995]

All these old performances rlly demonstrate how important Nick Oliveri was to this band.

[@6stringshugues]

⚡⚡

[@jimihendrixx11]

Yeah he’s a great musician, and he really fit qotsa well with his punk style of playing and vocals. He’s more than just bass player but was the best with qotsa😊

[@dave-o9522]

I saw them play the Corner Hotel in Richmond on this tour for $42. I was queueing for the toilet when the bassline for Tension Head started and ran back, so awesome. Rated R was a great album, and yet they've continued to evolve, not to mention Desert Sessions and Them Crooked Vultures stuff. We've been blessed to be onboard the Josh Homme voyage of music.

[@danielwitham1791]

You too? What an intimate show and great time to be alive!

[@MonsieurLeRocck]

Thanks QotsaArchive for putting this up. . . This is gold And Aussies know how to party, this crowd was lit.

[@danielwitham1791]

Coooking in 40c on xtc was the norm at bid day out. Good times.

[@Mrpsblobsoflowendmung]

Nick was a monster back then. amazing

[@nufcfan123]

Still my favourite performance tone wise of any live recording on youtube. Just love that guitar sound

[@noxcorvus93]

Big Day Out was a religion for us Aussies. Best times. ✌️

[@rodtaylor5476]

A rite of passage for so many of us. Shame AJ killed it.

@@noxcorvus93 thanks 👍

[@altered_statuses]

I was there! Awesome set early in the afternoon, coming on after Coldplay! Most of the pit are probably old Kyuss fans, who were QOTSA’s main Australian fan base back in those days.

[@snapcult464]

An entire set of hits. ❤

[@dustingrant6388]

Gene Trautmann and Alfredo Hernández don't get enough cred in my opinion. They laid a lot of the bricks that the giants would later tred. Not disrespecting those that followed Gene and Al or anything, Grohl, Castillo and Theodore (ohhhh Theodore..you sweet AK47 of rhythm you), however just saying, it would all be a weeee bit different had it not been for Gene n AlI reckon. I dunno, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong about being left.

[@andrewc6950]

What I would do to be here . So RAW

[@Soutpiel78]

Seen QOTSA twice. Once at the Brixton Academy and the other supporting Foo Fighters in Hyde Park. Incredible shows. They were relentless. Awesome energy ❤

[@MrRatclima]

Gene Trautmann... hell yeah.

[@RiceaFashionBossXPD]

20:35 i love the way he's singing while drumming

[@TheLordGoat]

Miss these days, time flew by unbearably fast.

My second ever festival. Dunno what cooked me more. The heat or the chemicals. Good times

[@wedderboom]

Pretty sure I was at this. I probably had a great time.

[@benedekgabor.]

I love this so much. They’re so fucked up. Josh is so stoned that he’s barely holding it together and Nick is the exact opposite He’s completely unhinged. 😆

[@MsQueenpineapple]

Nice to see people actually enjoying the show instead of fiddling their phones...

[@garageredzone]

I was at BDO 2001 and saw them live, but it was Gold Coast not Sydney. Absolutely HUGE experience. Loved it, this brings back memories big time.

[@AndrewZetts]

I need that Honda shirt, that goober is fly as fuck

[@stonedage5087]

Crazy how nick could keep his shirt on with all this heat!

[@timhall3575]

Saw them a bunch of time late 90s / early 00s - this line up, the earlier incarnation with Alfredo on drums... then with Grohl etc on Songs For the Deaf - for those first x 3 albums they were untouchable live... no one came close.. it must have been embarassing to have been in other bands at this time... no one could touch them... the bar was raised.

[@TheVintagedudee]

They are still like that 😂. They litterally just do 't care🤣. They are simply just like that type of person that is somehow always just better, no matter what.

[@marcodolce2846]

My personal best line up

[@secret.mission]

30.05-30.15 Gene Trautman is the supreme master of the universe. Holy f*ck I just love it.

[@JesseCuster77]

I veri QOTSA...❤

[@stuartewoldt1513]

I opened for Kyuss back in 95 or 98 i dont remember but it was some club on Deep Elum in Dallas Tx. I thought whoooo man this is gonna be a great show...😂 Musta been 15 people there including the staff. Oh well, got some free X that night

Dude, there was 10 yrs you couldnt toych this band. The creativity is just well just like meee. Its f'n great

[@anexad]

Josh was more high than usual lol

[@sweetcell8767]

There’s a recent interview he did where he talks about doing heaps of speed in these years. Not surprising given their tour regiment and appetite to party.

[@kilgoreplumbus1360]

Josh is a pretty good advertisement for long term drug use. Fucked up and smashing it for decades.

Do you think he was on nicotine valium vicodin marijuana ecstacy and alcohol?

I just love the pure rawness of qotsa during this time. Same in 2002 (Werchter I believe ) when the played with Mark Lanegan and Dave Grohl..... it's just 1 hr of full throttle desert rock. Just awesome!!!
