This is awesome. I was the channel V director at the time but we didn't have anyone to direct this (there was lots other stuff going on) so the camps just shot it wild. They dragged me into the edit suite to cut it live because it was chaos. Nearly did my head in but now I see it it back it's totally fantastic... It's doing my head in again watching it. Thanks for posting.... I'm mental now. Hahahaha!
I am forever in debt to you my friend. This is so incredibly wonderful. And as someone who comes from a film and television background, I can only imagine how difficult it was to piece this together in a seamless way. This performance is gold. And this is my very favorite performance by my very favorite band. We wouldn't have this without you.
I was there. Mudvanye had just finished a set on the second stage in that tent and the crowd just moved over to where we were and brought that bogan energy across. Later That night though at the main stage a girl was crushed and died when limpbizkit was performing. That ATDI called it was prescient for the tragedy to follow where security and crowd measures were just not effective on a hot day.
"Later that same day, teenager Jessica Michalik was crushed to death in a mosh pit that took place at a Limp Bizkit set later on that day at the concert. Bixler-Zavala has not spoken of Big Day Out 2001 since then." "....She was revived and rushed to Concord Hospital, but died of a heart attack five days later" - Wikipedia FURTHER ARGUMENTS INVALID.
Wow. I was at this show many years ago and I remember the energy not only at this slot but at the entire festival. ATDI were right to call out the bros and to stop the show. I will never forget.
Crazy to see the attention the band was receiving at this time. It's all over the start of this vid. They really were the band of that moment. Didn't last very long, sadly!
Yea it really sucks that they broke up just as there first major label album was released and they were set to be come one of the biggest bands around.
The whole attitude of this set screams "band of the moment", hottest thing right now. The arrogance, the music-snobbery, insulting the audience and the people taking photos, (those ignorant paparazzi press vultures!!). I'm not knocking them, it's all very punk rock (or straight-edge punk) but that vibe is so clearly captured on this video. At least that's how it comes across to me. I wasn't there but I remember hearing about it... it's kinda funny what a big thing this set actually was for a little while!
I'm just glad I can say I saw Cedric and Omar in the Mars Volta when I was 11. First gig I ever watched but goddamn I wish I could've caught them in ATDI
must I just say that later during the day one of the crowd members were crushed to death during the limp bizkit show so they had every right to say what they said!!
I remember downloading this video on Kazaa and wish I could see them live. Haven't yet but damn they shaped my musical outlook in my youth. Finding later two of the members forming side gig De Facto showed me more about dub and lead me to pick up King Tubby.
Cedric in Mars Volta and Jim Ward in Sparta both continued the due diligence of creating a safe space for fans in the crowds to not "mosh" or "crowd surf" or "slam dance" and to take good care of one another...they consistently asked the crowd to dance if they desire so.
@@Seeattle lol! I loved crowd surfing in high school then i realized my my low weight but bony tall frame were like daggers changed my mind. in my 20's i filled out my 6'2" frame with 185 lbs of muscle and this unfortunate kid landed on the back of my neck, i immediately started punching and pounding...he squeezed out of that crowd as quickly as possible...we live and we learn not to be a douche bag over time
I love a lot of bands that I never got the chance to see due to being born in the 90s, but these guys are one of the ones I wish I could have seen most
no, if there was a revival it would end up being shit like greta van fleet just check out underground rock/punk/metal if you want to find good modern stuff. if rock came back to the mainstream it would not be good rock
@@mavisevelyn618 I'm well, been listening to The Sick Lipstick actually. I also found this sass band called XBXRX and their album Sixth in Sixes is pretty great, you should check them out if you haven't heard them.
@@s3xyn0sfera2 I haven’t heard of them, I’ll definitely check them out tho. Speaking of sass, I just listened to this amazing EP by a band called An Albatross. 11 tracks, 8 minutes in total, most songs are under a minute long. It’s like sassy math/grind but with a prog rock twist, crazy guitar riffs and synths all over the place. Definitely check it out
Gosh when they were being interviewed I could tell that they were so burnt out by then. All that friggin' work was on the edge of paying off and yet the gas ran out and only fumes were left. What a legacy for real...
fun story. the big dude on the left was the bass player. you have to know that for this story to stick. There was this show in Lubbock TX at the Kitchen Club *before it was not is now* middle of a song some random dude ran up and grabbed Cedric's cowboy hat and ran out the door. song stopped and almost immediately the bass player runs after the kid who grabbed Cedrics cowboy hat. everyone wondering whats going on... bass player returns with the cowboy hat and they continue the song
I listened to heavy metal for most of my teenage years. I know all about it, and that's a fact. I know where moshing started, I know how it started, I have moshed, I've seen it every second weekend for the past 8 years. It gets old. Punk gets old. This band was beyond punk rock, above it.
As far as the band's stand against crowd surfing goes - I mean, yeah, it's kind of difficult to control that kind of crowd energy when you're bringing insane amounts of purely awesome energy to the stage. But to their credit, they were used to playing smaller, more intimate, more "underground" shows in which the crowds were more receptive to looking out for each other. In most punk and underground scenes, there's this mutual understanding that everyone in the crowd wants to have fun and express themselves, but not to the detriment of others. (And in a smaller, local show, most of those people know each other to some degree.) I'm pretty sure that I saw in an interview that they take that stance against crowd surfing and moshing for everyone, but particularly because it tends to discourage their female fans from enjoying the show, and standing up front. - Not only because of the injury factor, but also because douchey dudes take advantage of the chaos of a pit and grope women.
I'm still looking for that interview, but here's one where they address the subject of discouraging moshing and crowd surfing, vs their own antics on stage. :czcams.com/video/074NKE9-emA/video.htmlm12s
Essentially, ATDI's stance against moshing/slamming and crowdsurfing was the same as Fugazi (a band which they emulated to a certain extent). And you know what? Fair play - it may have been slightly aggrandized at the end, but Cedric was bang on - also seeing as someone had recently died while in a moshpit, it was on him, he felt, to tell the crowd not to ape what everyone else does at shows. Yes, express yourself, but do it in a way that doesn't encroach on other's personal space. And if you're actively out there in the pit to beat people up and cause harm, you're an asshole.
@@NailBombed What personal space? Have you even been to a big show before? Bunch of sweaty hairy guys rocking. If you don't like that, or moshing, or surfing, go behind, all the way in front or just out of the show. Also, you can't explain certain rights to people who are still gonna mosh you. It just doesn't happen. It certainly isn't gonna bring someone back from the dead.
I remember when I was 18 I had tickets to see them play a free show at Tower Records LA. I'd always been into metal, but I remember my fellow musician metalhead friends told me that ATDI was awesome so I wanted to give them a shot after only hearing One Armed Scissor. Well lo and behold they broke up before that free show, and that was that. I moved to SF for college and continued getting deeper into extreme metal (death, black, tech prog) . I have no problem recognizing good music in any genre, and I always kept At The Drive In in my back pocket, so to speak, but I can't help wondering how I would have been different had I been to that show!
My respect always goes out to Hardcore bands that pump the breaks on moshing/violence. I fucking hate that shit and it’s such a relic at this point. I don’t want to go to a show and look like I was part of a mugging by the end of it. Exactly why I love Ian and Fugazi.
Imagine children going to their first concert and hearing this: “The Wiggles were supposed to headline tonight, but unfortunately, they crashed their Big Red Car along the way and died. We found a replacement act that we hope you enjoy!”
I tried so hard to see them. I've been a Fan of there's since 1999 or 98. My Friend I hope you had better luck than I. Times are tough, sad I couldn't go, but I've seen some Rare Shows before and should consider myself lucky I guess. Much Love
This show was a conduit overvolted (I'm not an electrician, forgive the shaky metaphor). Cedric being wired out of his mind, the crowd just being overbearingly jammed, ATDI playing the music that they do. Cedric was very aware that they weren't being marketed with the right ideas in mind. I've been to shows with idiots slam dancing and crowdsurfing without a care for whom they may hurt, and then shows where people dance, express themselves, and pick you up if you get knocked down. There was simply no room for safety, and it's difficult to place blame on a festival crowd in a remote area of the world when the wait for their favorite bands is over. It's difficult to place blame on ATDI for cutting the show short. I'm glad the end result was a legendary performance and a lesson taught.
"This is for Mark E Smith"
>proceeds to cut the set short
Yeah that's an actual tribute to The Fall alright
This is awesome.

Check out some MC5
Oh there is
Watch Guy Picciotto in any Fugazi gig. Man is a fucking freak. Watching Omar at the start of the vid instantly reminded me of Picciotto
jj ww YESSS Hahaha. The energy gets me so excited to do anything
i watch this video at least once a year, and have done so for like 12+ years now. it's a tradition.
wonderpulp it’s your yearly reminder.......
Same. Ever since I saw them at this BDO (Melb) at 15 years old. Changed my musical world.
Same!
Same, ATDI was an absolut nuclear storm at that time, the last great band playing rock the right way: loud, savage and true.
Same. This guys influenced my whole mind & with my own output and work... its like seeing all from above watching it burn. You like the view.

was there any major reaction to Cedric calling the crowd sheep? (or reaction from people around you)
I love this album so much its not even funny. Such a great band. Always deliver.
The Fall shoutout and reference just made this already stellar performance that much more sweet.
Ahahaha just realised they're playing on top of a stage that reads "the wiggles"

I have a lot of respect for the guys that do this. Guys like Cedric and Ian MacKaye value the safety and overall enjoyment of their fans.
I wonder at what point they threw that rule out the window because I went to one of their reunion shows in 2016 and it was a free for all
Thats cool but tbh I love crowd surfing lmao

Crowd might have been acting douchy but Cedric was clearly in a bad mood here lol, was obvious from his previous couple of statements
He was right, someone died here dude
@@jackwinkles3050 That was after their show though. Is that little bitch cedric nostradamus? didn't think so
Kind of rock n rolls swan song
Man they are amazing so glad I was able to see them live once in Houston back in the day🤘🔥💖
cosmonaut is so damn good in this version!
At 53 years young I still jam with m!!
Yup, I saw them at Coachella this year and they've definitely shifted gears compared to their earlier days,nevertheless still a spectacle to behold.
this is so raw. i love it
Fuck we need a rock revival like this again someday even for just a second.
no, if there was a revival it would end up being shit like greta van fleet
just check out underground rock/punk/metal if you want to find good modern stuff. if rock came back to the mainstream it would not be good rock
Ghostemane, fever 333, tallah, vein.fm (is getting pretty big these days) . Rock is doing fine it just smells different

They are almost progressive
It's called post-hardcore mate
Woeful comment
They definitely brought hardcore rock to the mainstream. The live version here out did the album by a mile.
Only if you ignore the actual hardcore bands that did it before them
I listen to too much Hip Hop and Heavy Metal and The Mars Volta and Omar Rodriguez Lopez and Bosnian Rainbows and now ANTEMASQUE
that was kind of a shitty statement but luckily it was to tribute Mark E Smith who just never got the credit he deserved in America
