07.11.2007 Deftones / First to Last / Die Mannequin

photo: quaelin

so night 2 of a 3 night stand in vancouver. same openers as last night.

die mannequin: i'm starting to dig this band. there are still some songs which I'm not sold on, but the solos and overall showmanship are starting to win me over. I dunno if this was true because i couldn't make a visual confirmation (and i did try) but the bassist mentioned that Tegan and Sara were in the front row. I managed to check out some of their studio stuff. like a lot of bands, they're better live. the deftones' touring videographer (i want his job) came up on stage for some reason during DM's set, but didn't really do anything. Care Failure's solo at the end of the night was actually one of the highlights of my night.

first to last: alexisonfire seemed to be off their game today oh wait.. these guys again. man this was a rough 40min for me to watch. in vancouver we have to put up with nickelback clones. in toronto, they get the alexisonfire-wannabes. just painful...and i have to put up with this again tomorrow.

deftones: pretty good setlist on an average deftones night. nothing special or rare or covers. highlights included engine and headup. i'm pretty sure i saw either drive or change before passenger on the setlist, but i guess they're being lazy or something. the PA actually cut out earlier on in the show, but the sound guys were able to fix it pretty quickly. Deftones, you guys have more 1 night to go to do something special.
