I got my tickets for dead center 1st row balcony. My son and I were in a box with a couple. He said he felt like Abraham Lincoln. The tickets were VIP so we came in a side entrance. That was cool. I had no idea what the venue was like. It’s like a town square in Mexico or a setting on the Pirates of the Carribean ride. Honestly, aside from Red Rocks, it’s the coolest venue I’ve ever been in.

This was good. Great trio and the dude is very talented. The band is tight and groovy.

That’s so awesome. Having those separate seats adds so much. Glad you had a great time, and hope you didn’t venture too far to the east of the venue (it gets super sketchy).

That's cool, although it would be a no from me.

lol reading back my post to myself now I don’t know how I wrote “Three Pence None the Richer.”

Half of the band is dead now

Thanking about seeing Deftones in september, it’d be my first time seeing them since 2001.

Strongly recommend seeing them, bart.

He is just thanking about It

And now I am THANKING zeb for the advice because I got a ticket.

I’ve also been thanking about seeing them but tickets are more than I want to pay. Also I hate arena shows.

It’ll be interesting to see how their newer (ie, less than 25 years old) material sounds in a big arena. I saw them three times from 97-01 and the medium-sized club show was by far the best, I didn’t think a lot of their stuff translated as well to big outdoor festival settings. I bet the last few albums will come across well.

Last time i saw Deftones was in 2000 opening for RHCP, but it seems they could come here next year.

Sep. 6 - Dua Lipa
Sep. 10 - Wet Leg
Oct. 11 - Model/Actriz
Oct. 20 - Oklou
Oct. 25 - Billie Eilish (in new york, although i think i'm gonna let the wife sit in for this one)

I was hoping to see Billie with this album this year but nope

I like the show even more now that its been a couple of days. They really are very talented musicians all around even if it can get a little same-y.

Currently:

October: Shiner, 54 Ultra

December: Chat Pile, Acid Bath/Eyehategod/Deadguy, Acid Bath/High on Fire/Weedeater

Not enough. I keep looking for more shows but not finding much that's working out.

Nine Inch Nails in Toronto on Saturday.
