Deftones Live
September 16th 2003 "Rock City" - Nottingham, UK
www.deftonesworld.com
Went to go see Deftones last night (my second Deftones gig) to celebrate my 21st.
Wow, what a show!!! I swear those guys get a kick out of playing the smaller venues
- when i saw them last at Manchester Apollo they were a bit lacklustre and static,
but last night the energy/adrenalin was flowing - Chi was all over the stage,
jumping up and down, Chino was even more animated than usual, with a massive grin
on his face the whole time and encouraging audience participation, even Frank had
a smile on his face and was headbanging a bit! Of course, needless to say, the pit
was insane - busy nursing my bruises as i type. The setlist, in no particular order
(and probably missing a couple of songs i can't remember):
Be Quiet And Drive
My Own Summer
Minerva
Hexagram
Dai The Flu
Elite (Oh yes!)
Change
Bored
Engine No. 9
Battle Axe
Lifter
Feiticiera
Bloody Cape
7 Words (Accompanied by the obligatory pit explosion)
Aound The Fur
Root
Roll on the next time they play the Rock City!

3. Hexagram
4. Minerva
5. Feitceira
6. Elite
7. Bored
8. Bloody Cape
9. Battle-Axe
10. Lifter
11. Root
12. Change (In The House Of Flies)
13. 7 Words
Encore Break
14. Dai The Flu
15. Around The Fur
"7 Words" got a great reaction as Chino asked everyone if they want a new song or
7 words. I had heard good and bad things about Deftones live but I thought they
were excellent, probably the best show I've seen. I was most looking forward to
Be Quiet and Drive and was glad they played that. During one song Chino drifted
into a verse from Gorillaz "Clint Eastwood". Overall an excellent show would
certainly go again.
