Which song do you think Deftones have mastered live on a consistent basis and which one do they most often botch?
For me best goes to Bloody Cape, there's a lot of great performances of this song around, some of their best ever:
The strange thing is, with this one, the more fucked the band is the better it sounds.

Worst goes to Hole in the Earth, they just don't seem to have nailed it live and Chino seems to struggle with the really high notes - it's probably one of their hardest to sing.
I really wish they had played something else on Conan.
For me this is probably in their top 3 worst performances.
Deftones-Hole in the Earth live on Conan 2006 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sW9DBIr2iBA#)
I think they should have played Beware, that's one they have nailed and which sounds really really good live - in fact I prefer some of the live versions to the album versions.
It's a pity because I think a chance was wasted to promote themselves.
Someone who has never heard/of Deftones probably won't become interested after that performance, even Cherry Waves or Rapture would have been a better choice.
Actually Xerces is really good live too and the contrast between the loud and soft parts of the song are very dramatic and would have been perfect in a setting like this.
Oh well, chance wasted and Deftones go on being the most underrated band of all time.
agree with hole in the earth.
Royal live kinda suck the only time i heard it live but maybe it was a fluke .btw u lucky p.m i seen the tones 5x and no bloodycape for me.
