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

22 years later still opening shows with regular John

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.

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.

Nick was a monster back then. amazing

Man, every single drummer that comes thru the QOTSA Duplex is Just Badass

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Fucking incredible energy at this show

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

Thank you for uploading this!

Gene Trautmann... hell yeah.

If anyone doubted Josh on guitar this version of Mexicola and YCQMB ends that

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

I was there , sick show ..

thank you , un grand fan

I was at this gig

Possibly the best version of Quick And To The Pointless ever. Positively psychotic.

This band is pure genius ❤

So incredibly tight and such quality sound

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.

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

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

They’re coming to my hometown, and I’m seeing them in April!

Ill give it a listen. Right now im listening to QOTSA live from 2001

Miss these days, time flew by unbearably fast.

Amazing, as always, right from the fucking start!

2000's were the golden years for live concerts and live festivals. Pure fun, no f...cking phones, no influencer and fashion shit...

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

that jam at the end is epic

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!!!

I veri QOTSA...❤

Was there. It's different in Oz now I miss it so much.

My personal best line up

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. 😆

best lineup .

I was stoked they played so many records from Rated R at the forum last night. I wish Nick O did a guest spot when they played some of the songs though. Always love that.

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.

One of the most Important bands since Nirvana

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

Josh and Nick were great together when they were.
