CONCERT REVIEWS
by Defmytones @ 17 June 2007
Ive waited almost 4 years to see the Deftones again, seeing as everytime I would try to get tickets when they came to Detroit, they were sold out. So here I am, at the State Theatre (eh, the Fillmore now) Seeing the Tones at the same place I first saw them four years ago. And although time has passed, their performance was nothing short of phenomenal, completely blowing away my expectations. Also being right up in front on the bar certainly helped too. Their setlist was very good, although I am a little saddened they didnt play ANYTHING from their self titled. Hexagram or Minerva would of been nice, but outside of that minor grip, they set a good pace throughout the show. The new stuff from SNW was extremely good, playing all but one of my fav tracks on that cd (Combat would be so bad ass live). Ultimately though, if you havent seen the Deftones yet, now is probably the best time to do so.

Incredible concert experience. The sound was so pristine, especially during "Cherry Waves", that it sounded as though shards of sonic wetness were traveling through a glass-lined sphere destined for my nerve-eye, and I was overtaken by visions of Communist propaganda posters come to life, mouthing the lyrics.

The best songs from the new album were all played. "Beware" sounded as though a traveling band of bison, armed with Marshall amplifiers, were crashing down on my head like volumes of freezing cold water on a sweltering summer day. "Xerces" was almos too much for me to handle, as the audience was locked into a battle of consiousness and eye-play, attempting to slip effortlessly through the Love Sequence.

During "Hole In The Earth" I saw a woman about seven to eight feet tall, with long hair all over her arms and hands, move through the audience, she was wearing a cloak and began to spin in circles and rose above the crowd. The audience began to mentally make love to her.

Speaking of making love, there was a couple on the balcony, I don't know if anyone saw them, but this dude had his girlfriend bent over the edge of the balcony and was humping her throughout the entire show. This is not a joke. Others can verify this.

Once again, the sound... the SOUND of this show was absolutely drowned in saturated sonic jetfuel and God-defying. Nice work, sound man.

I don't have a set list because this was pretty much the last concert I will ever see.
