Deftones - Phoenix, AZ, USA - Monday, Oct. 4, 2004
The show at Celebrity Theater was beyond words the greatest show I have seen in
years. I am still reeling from the show. Wow. I have seen the Deftones 3 times
at this venue and they have all been great, its a great place to see live bands.
Up close and personal. The way it should be -- to see a band you love to hear
live and such.
Well the opening band was not that great, I wasnt impressed one bit. Pretty
maninstream if you ask me. BAH. A good band to have open if you want to sit down
and have a few drinks.
The Deftones set was amazing I dont remember the setlist but I was in love because
it was all older songs. It was great to be right up front near the band and watching
them all go insane and the crowd was pretty great. I was so happy to hear the Cure
cover--- I felt a bit old being the only person right up front to know every word to
that song. At least in the little corner I was standing at I felt like I was the only
one sing along. Anyhow I cannot wait for another show and the new album.
The evening kicked ass.

The show was at Celebrity Theater and if anyone here has ever been there
then they know it is one of the best venues to see a band in. The venue is
circular with a rotating stage so seriouisly no matter where you are you
have an amazing view. Dredge opened up and were very good. I saw them 2 or 3
years ago opening for Taproot and I think they have improved on there live
performances. Then deftones came on... They opened with Hexagram and the
place went crazy.. It was awesome to see alot of old songs played
espescially when I was thinking that this would be more of a newer song
show. The only problem was they didn't even play one new song. But that
really wasn't much of a problem since they played Damone. I have seen the
deftones many many times but have never head Damone live so that was
amazing. At one point Chino was saying he wanted to play something for
people who had been there since Adrenaline and then went into Nosebleed.
Heres the setlist in no order..
Hexagram
Minerva
Bloody Cape
Feiticeira

I won't attempt to type the setlist since I'll forget
songs and not post an accurate list. But I will make
the following observations about the show last night:
1. The band is in top form, since this was my 5th
time seeing them, and probably one of the best. 2.
Celebrity Theater is the best place I've ever seen a
show of that size, with that many people (stage in the
middle, rotating).
As most of you have noticed Chino cut his hair again.
They also didn't play anything new, as far as I could
tell. The opening band, Dredg, was ok, and just "ok."
They played well and consistently, but there's also
not much original about them, aside maybe from the
slide guitar the singer uses, but I think they're just
one of many bands that's following the general
trend--there's nothing wrong with that, but it gets
boring. The kind of remind me Thrice, or Thursday,
even. They put on a solid set, but I would never buy
their CD.
I think the Deftones, if they keep this up, will be
alive in 25 years. "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep"
was also incredible.
Have fun at the show!!!
