Deftones @ "Clutch Cargos"
Detroit, MI - USA
22 Oct 2004
www.deftonesworld.com
Dredg opened the show. They came out, and the crowd was shouting "Dredg" chants,
which they also did after the set. I was pleasantly surprised. I LOVE Dredg, but
I thought only about 20 people would've even heard of em. They played a 30-min set
w/ 4 brand new songs, and then they ended w/ "Yatahaze."
Deftones came up next. The first few songs consisted of the crowd singing loud as
hell and just pushing forward, but when "My Own Summer" was played, the pit went
BONKERS! Chino did that song from the crowd (as usual). I was really glad to hear
"Around the Fur" cuz I haven't heard that one live in a long time. Their Cure cover
was amazing, but the highlight of the show was DEFINITELY "Engine #9" w/ the "Wicked"
part near the end. "Teenager" was an unexpected surprise, but cool. After that they
played a song that sounded like a Suicidal Tendencies cover to me. They ended w/
"Minus Blindfold" and then came out to do an encore of "Minerva" & "Bloody Cape,"
which was a great song to end with. I watched the whole show from the balcony right
above the soundboard. Not only does that provide a great view of the stage and the
INSANE pits, but we could see the setlist that their sound guy was using. They followed
the setlist for about half the show and then mixed things up. They had to end the show
by 8:30pm in order to empty out the venue for a dance party, so they had to cut their
set a few songs short. The setlist had them doing "Be Quiet & Drive" just before the
encore, but they didn't play it. I believe "7 words" was also on the list, but not
played. The songs they played were as follows:
feiticiera
change
my own summer
nosebleed
hexagram
around the fur
rickets
if only tonight we could sleep (The Cure cover)
rx queen
birthmark
engine #9/wicked
digital bath
teenager
cover song (or at least I think it's a cover)
minus blindfold
--encore--
minerva
bloody cape

Another excellent show. The band interacted with the crowd in Detroit a lot more
than in Cincinnati. Cheng was also a little bit more reserved, which I was pleased
with. He is just too over the top lately. Pretty much the same setlist as in
Cincinnati, except Seven Words and One Weak were not played. Teenager and Birthmark
were played in place of those two which was sweet. And the highlight of the night,
by far, especially for me was Subliminal. I was yelling to Steph the entire night to
play it, and finally he heard me, looked at me and gave me the devil horns, smiled
and started to play it, with no distortion. Then Chino noticed and said "Aww, what
song is that?!" As soon as he said that, Abe came in with the drumb beat and Steph
hit the distortion. The rest is history. Chino signaled for the circle pit a during
the chorus. So sweet. Then a couple more songs passed and I yelled "Thank you Steph!"
and he pointed at me and smiled with chink eyes. Deftinately the coolest part of the
evening, especially for me. Still doesn't top meeting Chino the night before, but
still fucking awesome.

A Great Show
Tonight was a good time, my friend who was in Prison for most of the Deftones first 3
releases was able to see a band that helped him get through his incarceration. It was just
as fun for me to see him have such a great time. That was probably the most enjoyable thing
of the evening. To the band: They were tight. Chino is a fucking slob, by the end lf the
tour, I'm sure he will have shed a few pounds. The set was great, big highlights were RX
Queen, which I used to sing to my daughter to get her to go to bed, that was weird hearing
the song live, somewhat emotional for a second. They also played Rickets! You don't hear
that song much. There was also a fucking blistering cover of Suicidal Tendencies "Subliminal"
It was amazing. They also played "Teenager". Big disappointments were: NO DAMONE They have
been playing that song almost
every night it's the only song I have never seen them play....The only one! There was no
"Be Quiet and Drive" either....???Probably my favorite song....but was absent tonight. So
for the 20 sumthing time I've seen them, it was still good.
Here is the set-list, the first 11 or 12 songs are in order, the rest are kinda sketchy:
1. Feiticeira
2. Change
3. Summer
4. Nosebleed
5. Hexagram
6. Fur
7. Rickets
8. If Only Tonight We Could Sleep
9. RX Queen
10. Birthmark
11. Enigine #9
(sketchy after this)
12. Teenager
13. Digital Bath
14. Subliminal (Suicidal Cover)-Totally not planned, Stephen just started struming it,
then they jammed it
15. Minus Blindfold
___Encore____
16. Minerva
17. Bloody cape

Deftones played at Clutch Cargos in Pontiac, Michigan
on Friday, Oct. 22.
Dredg opened (I missed their set), but the 'tones came
on stage at around 7:10 to a packed house at the
remodeled, former-church.
I've seen them play 5 other times, but this show had a
much differentvibe then the previous shows that I've
seen. The band came out playing Feiticeira and then
went right into Change. While these songs are heavy in
their own right, it didn't send the crowd into a
frenzy as say Hexagram does. (the song they have
opened with the majority of this tour's dates)
Things picked up when My Own Summer was the third song
of the night.
Overall the set was very tight. Chino didn't have the
mic problems that seem to plague him on other tour
stops, and his voice was clear and distinct
the entire evening. Stephen and Chi were on point too,
but their mood seemed to be almost "mellow" as they
played some older, slower Adrenaline-era songs.
The highlight of the night however, WAS the set list
as a lot of older songs were played. Rickets, Engine
#9 (with Wicked in the middle), Minus Blindfold, and
Birthmark were great suprises for the mainly younger,
"White Pony"/"Deftones" era crowd.
My personal highlight was the guys playing RX Queen. I
have seen them a handful of times,
and I own a ton of bootleg shows, but have never heard
that song played live before. Needless to say it was
pretty amazing, esp. Abe's drumming.
Another highlight was Teenager, as Chino crouched on
stage and Steph and Frank did the synth.
and turntable work.
The band also played the Cure cover and another new
song that was said to be a Fugazi cover. (don't quote
me on that, however) The latter was a much faster, punk-influenced song. The band
did an encore of Minerva and finished with Bloody Cape. The set was just over and
hour and 20 mins, but due to Clutch Cargos/Pontiac having an 8:30pm curfew, the
show was a little on the short side. The t-shirts they were selling were pretty
cool, esp. the ones that were like the Coors Beer cans. They are grey or yellow
and say 'TONES on the front. $28 bucks though. Ouch. Overall it was a great show,
and I can't wait for their new material.
As I walked out, the guy @ the sound board gave me the
set list.
(note: for whatever reason, it's not 100% accurate
though...as they changed things up during the show...added/subtracted songs. I
listed them, but I noted the questionable ones with a "*" below.):
Feiticeira
Change (ITHOF)
My Own Summer
Nosebleed
Hexagram
Around the Fur
Rickets
If Only Tonight We Could Sleep-Cure Cover
Rx Queen
Birthmark
Un-determined song-(Fugazi cover?)*
7 Words*
Digital Bath
Teenager
Minus Blindfold
Engine #9 (w/Wicked)
Be Quiet and Drive*
