When Jim Ward ended Lopsided with that loud "ALL MAKE SENSE NOOOWWWWW"! I felt that. 😢

DAMN this was a good show. The interplay between Cedric and Jim is great. Such a shame that he didn't stick around.

I really hope Jim comes back into the picture some day. Davis is fine but "fine" isn't enough for this band

That is the best I have ever heard ATDI sound live in terms of delivery of the music. The instrumental was amazing, the whole time I was watching it stunned. Just can't get over how strange Cedric is these days, he actually sounds great in his lower octave but sadly doesn't stay down there enough. Oh well childhood hero's so nuff love!

Tons of comments on all of the reunion videos about Omar and his lack of dynamics but I couldn't help but notice how perfect his playing is at this shows! Cup half-full :P

These guys don't give a fuck what anyone thinks or says. "His voice is whiney and he can't scream anymore", or "he isn't doing back flips"! NO SHIT. That was 15+ years ago! WTF!!! I'm 30. Ask me to do a backflip in 15 years and I'll tell you to go fuck yourself. They're artists. Criticize a painter and see where that gets you. Criticize a poet and see how that turns out. They wrote a whole album dedicated to a friend who committed suicide. The very idea of these guys playing together in the first place no matter what the capacity or the capabilities of each of them at the time, is enough to send a true ATDI fan into nostalgia. This was kind of the Led Zeppelin of our time. Relationship of command has been rated within the greatest 100 rock albums of all time. (50th I believe) OF ALL TIME. Did anyone catch that???? OFFFF ALLLLLL TIIIIIIIIIME (echo echo echo echo).............. Rick Ruben was working with them on that one btw.
To any and all naysayers, haters, critics, negative Nancys etc.... I say this....
Return to your studio quality recordings if the live performance isn't your cup of tea. Live is supposed to be different. There's supposed to be some subtle differences between a live performance and a recording. If an artist was painting in front of you would you correct him and tell him that you didn't like his color choice or that his line wasn't exactly coming out the way you were used to it appearing? It's an expression created in that moment and time. How boring would it be to go and watch a band perform if they spat every song out I exactly the same way you heard it when you weren't watching them live? Whether that be the singers screaming or pitch, or the notes the instruments play. Think of a concert as an artists freestyle interpretation of pre written material and release your mind from any preconceived bias or expectation and you will allow yourself to live more in the moment and be happy and free. Now thinking outside of the ATDI box a little--- If you drove all the way out to Coachella, it's up to you to make sure you have a good time. Not the lead singer of some band. Anyone who was displeased enough to bitch about it later, could have easily moved along to another act and watched this video later if they had chosen to do so. The act of driving there does not promise anything in return. LMFAO!

I don't know if they had ever played that part as tightly together until that moment.

This reunion was LEGENDARY! Altough Omar seemed down because of the recent passing of his mother. Gotta love his smile and Tony's during Chambara and Sleepwalk Capsules! Love them all, Jim Ward, Paul Hinojos, Tony Hajjar, Omar Rodriguez and Cedric Bixler Zavala, one of the best bands ever! 😁

So I just read how Omar had lost his mother a week prior to the reunion show and it makes sense why he's just phoning it in for the most part. Still pretty cool to do it though.
@frankymagana001 2 years ago
I remember being there wishing Omar was animated. But his mom recently passed away and he just couldn’t. Glad I can say I say them after thinking I’d never have the chance.
Then took too long to see TMV, then last year I finally got to do it.
