God, they were always just so good. It's insane how talented they all were during High School, where I'm assuming this video took place. It's a shame no one's in the crowd's really into it... I'd be dancing like crazy, but whatever.

Those boys have come a loonnnng way since then! Cedric always had that crazy, mic-swinging, staggering stage presence tho....bunny hops and all!!

I was out this show - Knapsack and The Juliana Theory also played. Small school house in Greensburg. Live performances don't get any more electrifying than this.

Wow, what an old video. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed!

This is amazing. Genius at work. Those people had no the history they were watching.

This is such a timeless masterpiece

he's the guy on the left in the yellow shirt playing the jazzmaster. he was bassist in 1996, then switched to guitar after their first LP

Chanbara! what a song!

Thank you metronomecharisma for posting this video.

Man reminds me of Bear Vs. Shark and Therefore I Am so much. Wish I could have seen the originals.

Aaaah! Playin fuckin piano with the microphone! Hahaaha i listen to these guys in class.

this must have been the coolest thing ever. i love in/casino/out. great post.

dude the way he moves hes like a fucking ninja on stage or something i fucking love this band

Chanbara, one my favourite song ..

amazing. best fucking era of them. in casino out is one of my favorite albums. i tried to see them on the last tour but i was too young to get in the club at the time (17). wish i knew about this when it was happening. i would have been 13/14. crazy to think of how much really does change in a decade. not a hug volta/sparta fan. excited to hear that omar/zach hill project though. this stuff will always be my favorite.

all the best songs! and it really reminds me of highschool. i love this video

Agreed. I love TMV too. Who could bag At The Drive-In?.... Seriously. They went off this hard for what looks to be a class room, it shows they actually loved to play. And still do! Ha

Wiretap Scars is a great album. Maybe not every album they made was a success, but Wiretap Scars is great. And as much as I love the passion and enthusiasm Cedric and Omar bring... Jim does work.

It's a classroom in Harrisburg or Lancaster or somewhere around there Located in PA.

these songs sound so awesome live, prolly coz they put more energy into their live performance.

they look so clean. the 1st song is called Alpha Centauri

Saw them on this tour at Gilman in Berkeley....

Chanbara intro is killing.

i miss good music :( i want to go back to the 90's rreally bad

Yes they are but even though their gone all the bands that came out of the "indefinite hiatus" are very talented ^.^

For some reason I'm way proud of myself that I figured out which songs these were =)

I'd say this was filmed between 1998-2000, as In/Casino/out was released in '98.

Thank you... I knew it was somewhere in pa I just forgot where :)

first song is alpha centauri, then chanbara at 2.40, hulahoop wounds at 5.40, dont recognise the wee bit at the end. all from in/casino/out album tho

I always wondered just how much more energy he could've had when he was younger...w0w!

i love this cd, in casino out... napoleon solo is rad

this is what my friend thinks: AT THE DRIVE-IN IS THE BEST BAND IN THE WHOLE F**KING UNIVERSE!!!!

i absolutely love the fact that in the mist of Omar doing his usual mentalism, he gentally and carefully buts the box down. Oh yes!

Fuckin'awesome! At the Drive-In kick ass! Mars Volta masterpiece "deloused..." it's a great work (some other song like "the widow" too) but ATDI was another hystory. Ps: "relationship of commands" is for me the best ATDI release. "have you ever tested skin? sink your, sink your teeth into.." Ciao from Italy

its my favorite song on Vaya

am I the only one that gets scared every time thinking Omar's about to fall but somehow he doesn't?....I enjoyed watching this

Playing some In Casino Out material there, awesome!

The Mars Volta is my favorite band, and I never really got into ATDI, but this makes me want to...

...In a small ghost town there's a little arcade where the poltergeists played their video games :)

well ive grown up in the snowy north just outside Toronto so i dont really get to see any bands other than when i go to Toronto

This music suits Cedric's vocals better than anything by The Mars Volta. And he has the choicest haircut.

no no no NOOOOO!! i refuse to recognize that cedric hahaahhaha despite the dance?!?¿ and the things he's doing with the microphone... hahahah i love omar so f*cking much!

Haha, they're all so young here, it cracks me up.

People in the crowd are like... WTF?

THAT IS FUCKING FANTASTIC!!!!

i love the part where it goes AAAH

ha! i love how the drummer has to tighten his hi hats at 2:30 i have to do that after playing that hard for awhile, too. lollll.

awesome kick that omar does at 2:45

in casino out, the best punk album ever made.

casino in/out so good

Makes me wanna dance, I think I feel an out of body experiance. :D

Omar, so normal OMG...Remembers me of a friend of mine...But my friend did put some nice afro hair as well later on xD

if only i was born ten years earlier :(

simply epic

One word...ENERGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

someone said this was in october 8th 1998...i know that the bassist and drummer in this video didn't join until 1997...so that information is likely to be more or less accurate

AWESOME

w0w actual punk rock... Props.

uhh i wanted to hear initiation lol anyway taht was fucking amazing

Well his mother died. Immediately most fans blamed him for deflating the reunion due to his reserved performance. His integrity to meet his musical obligations was just seen as an easy cashing of a paycheck. To a degree even the band blamed him but none of them expected him to "get over it" and perform the way he used to given the circumstances. It was just a shitty situation.

LMAO at Luciiz... o thats an awesome rant dude lolol

Cuanta fuerza! por dios! :D

yeah especially cedrics little pyramid fro things he's got going on

HAHA BRUTALLY AWESOME

Kind of embarrassing how this classroom has better microphone projection than most hardcore venues.

awesome

fucking awesome! great video!

Man, I wish I knew who AtDI were back in '98.

If you have any more vids plz upload them, atdi are legends.

wow!

I envy the fact that you were of age to even be AWARE of At The Drive-In.... =/ Once I knew what music was and appreciated it, it was too late. The end of At the Drive-In was already showing so I didn't get to even see them.

I saw them last saturday at the neon desert festival!

mate it does the only similarity is that they have "omar" being left handed and "cedric" begining (if anything) to do his crazy stage antics thats it backing vocals same as the song

They're playing stuff from In/Casino/Out so obviously this is from 98.

dam, i envy these guys

Rock is not dead! (until 1998..)

Jesus, this must have been sometime in '94.

yes.yes.yes.

"Live performances don't get any more electrifying than this" ...hmmm...TOOL 1994-1998?

cedric makes me laugh, what a legend

1. They are not 19. Cedric was 19 when ATD-I first started, Jim was 17, and so on. 2. Cedric doesn't focus on singing every note right. He's more focused on putting on a good show. 3. This was from '98. In-Casino-Out came out this year, Vaya has another year to go.

PCP: The breakfast of champions.

Chanbara is so fucking killer in here

@moralyson actually in an interview they said they had wrote all of the music for this album, if not a majority. cedric always played drums from a long time before and incorporated ideas through tonys style. all albums are credited with all of them writing but i know all of them except were more of multi instrumentalist . their all appreciating in this band though, they all fit in together, all of them from very different background, truly a cultural musical experience was born

I didn't knew Cedric used to be a customer at supercuts...

sweeet vid!

i demand more! where is the rest of initiation?

love how everyone is just standing cause they don't what the fuck they just got hit by! It's called ROCK AND FUCKING ROLL

Funny seeing Cedric like this, looks so different.

1. alpha centauri 2. chanbara 3. hulahoop wounds

They look cool with out fros but it doesnt really matter because the music is fucking awsome

lol, cedric lets loose only on stage lol, supposedly when him or anyone from ATDI/Mars volta are invited to parties, they get mad chill and just like sit down lol but i have to agree with you, i wish i could freak out like him, he is sick with that microphone lol

NICE HAIR CUT CEDRIC

hahaha, i actually laughed out loud at that :D. touche man

Way better than the Marsv Volta. For every onze of credit TMV gets, ATDI should get 2

damn they are so young

legends

@joepbailey Indeed this was!

@nelson3300 haha and he was hitting the keys with his mic... classic.

call you back after every show
