Estadio Victo Jara (Estadio Chile)
January 26 of 2001
And there I was, about two hours of the first raw by the two Chileans bands
2X and Rekiem, a total nice start, there I was all suiting with 5000 other
people. It was 21:30 and I was really sersty we had like 35 °C over there,
it was really hot, but I was just thanking god and my moms pocket for being
there id never been on a real concert before, with that much energy of all
those people and the crow sound was just extremely loud, and I started think
that I almost didn't make it, id just arrived that day from Argentina, where
I supposed to go to that show with the red hot chili peppers, but I didn't
get the ticket, plus the show was almost canceled cause of the rain, instead
I listened on the radio, and that was my first taste of a Deftones live show
cause id just know about them like 3 months ago, anyway, before that I
arrived to Argentina from brazil cause I was on the Rock in Rio III
festival, where I didn't get the chance to see them live, cause I just went
to the Rock Day (January 19), where I rocked with QOTSA, Sepultura, Iron
Maiden, Rob Halford and two Brazilian bands. So, yes it was a rock summer,
thanks mom and god.
Suddenly I stop thinking cause the lights went out, and the people started
to scream, a soft guitar chord started to sound, then the starting Engine
N°9 riff shocked me like a train, and I heard an amazing extremely loud
voice saying: Santiagooo!!, then Go!! And the whole stadium went up and down
like a freaking mass of crazy people, and id just went with it. Everybody
there was like Wipe! Did!, so freaking loud, that is a fact that the guys
(Deftones) felted too, Wicked sounded and everybody sang alone. Then
Nosebleed, and One Weak passed over me like a Tornado, then Be Quiet and
Drive started when Chino escaped from the fans in the crowd, and just
screamed, and again the hole stadium went nuts singing the HOLE song, in
fact in some parts Chino didn't even sang cause the audience was so loud
that he didn't need to sing, then back to the crowd in My Own Summer like
now other, the strongest sang by the people, awesome, MX went like an
unstoppable truck over us, then Korea ripped us with Chino screaming like a
dammed this "Get tha fuck uppp" and mayhem unlashed. It was time for
Feiticeira, with everybody singing it.
After the song finished Chino started speaking to us, saying ".and what is
all this spit, usually the fans throw kisses at me, not spiting at me".
Obviously, the people didn't understand what Chino said and just start
booing, then Chino after a short while said: "Oh!, aim. aim sorry aim phony"
and roll the mic over his neck and just pulled it up, and felt down to the
floor, then he started doing the: Auk! Sounds from Around the Fur, and he
just jumped up from his back to stand up like a Ninja or something, and
everybody cheered him. Then Change made everyone souls go up in the roof,
the same thing happened with Root, where Chino picked up a Chilean flag, and
putted it on like a cap and sang with it, everybody was singing I get
Bored!! When Bored was sounding, Digital Bad was next beautiful like always,
with a moving end whit Chino just whispering, after that Abe, Chi and Stef
went out stage, leaving Camilo and Frank alone for Teenager, it was a well
welcome rest for all of us, and it was perfectly sang by Chino with
everybody clapping their hands at the end with Chino's rhythm. Then the guys
came back and Chino said: Fuck all the dumb shit!, to just start Birthmark,
Chino screamed so loud that we weren't able to here the music, finally Chino
asked as: You want More? 1?, 2?, 3?, ..4?, 5?.six.Seven!?, right after this
the killer riff of Lotion started and hell broke in front of us, at that
time the only thing that I was thinking was: This aint happening.cant be
possible, it was so loud and id had been rocked so much. That I couldn't fix
myself. After the song finished, they went out of the stage for the first
brake, they passed like 10 minutes or so with everybody cheering up, and the
Seven Words Mix started, after the first part ended they played a little bit
of Say it isn't So and then a South of Heaven, everybody was freaked out
with that, they finished, and Chino jumped up into the inner speakers, like
he always does, and as usual during the hole show the stupid kids in the
front started spiting at Camilo, and taking this he said: Oh!! That is
disgusting, you're disgusting you're such a pig, you big fucking, big.you
now the rest.
Finally, a really damm lucky kid jumped up on stage invited by Camilo to
sang, actually just scream the strangled cat sound, by the way the kid
wasn't bad at all, during this Stef hit it with the Head Up riff, the kid
went out to the crowd on stage diving, and Deftones continued with the song,
well you know what aim talking about everyone is going crazy with:
Soulfly!!, Fly High!!, the powerful chorus by Chi barely herded it during
the hole show, cause of the hardest screaming of the people. Well they
finished and they went out, and I didn't saw them again, it an hour and a
half from the first song sounded, and they passed 15 more minutes when we
didn't left the building, and everybody was singing Back to School hoping
for a return, but it never happened, the song wasn't planed for the Latin
Tour. That's is the story of the night when I meet my favorite band, the
best experience of my life.
You can be able to really know what I am saying if you pick up Nuno´s vid of
the show.
This is my review i hope you check the grammar but i guess its kinda clear,
