OK, I should firstly get off my back the fact that At The Drive-In made in my opinion, the greatest record of all time: Relationship Of Command. You know how everyone has a checklist in their head of qualities they look for in music, these guys tick everything and even though other acts have come close, I really don’t expect to ever hear music could surpass them for me. I was lucky enough to catch ATDI when they were touring Relationship Of Command, although I was too young to really appreciate it at the time. These guys often had re-union show rumours floating around but I didn’t think it would ever happen after their self-destructive past. After the Coachella posters started floating around and the 20th person told me about the re-union show, I started to stalk Omar on facebook and waited for him to announce it. Unfortunately, I work in a field close to the music industry so I am also skint most of the time so I couldn’t go.

But it happened. Omar linked the full set in HD, multi angled video which is really great. The set was mostly Relationship of Command with the exception from Lopsided which is to be expected. My initial reactions from watching this once through is how these songs still sound fresh, for tracks that were written over a decade ago, its a pretty big feat. Its a really great set, they sound really together and not like they just started practising old material a few months back at all. Jim Ward is my hero, he was unbelievably on form but its really obvious when he’s doing backing vocals of just how high pitched Cedric is singing throughout. Omar seems to not really be into it(although his playing is beautiful), his mother passed away a few weeks ago so I have the utmost respect for him to carry on.

So here, enjoy the show!
