Title: The Very First Deftones Gig
Post by: ruinfix on Oct 26, 2012, 10:31 AM
They were teenagers. But does anyone know where it was? I remember reading bits and pieces in interviews about backyard parties; but I was curious to know if there was a specific location. I'm surprised that holy grail of information has never been brought up haha.

More than likely no footage of the very first show, but I am eager to see the oldest deftones footage to date... Any at all back in 1989? or 1990 for that matter?

I was about to ask the same thing.  What's the oldest known Deftones footage?

I think it's from 1992 in San Jose if my memory serves me well.
Vesanic will be able to confirm, for sure...

Oldest footage is:

1990 12 27 The Guild Theater, Sacramento, California, USA

deftones - 1990 clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHBEAtxLEQY#)

I can upload it, if someone want me to.

It's just a 2 min. clip, but the full show exists on several tapes. None leaked yet, just this little video

That's amazing! Thanks for sharing! The earliest stuff I'd seen (heard, I suppose) was the 1992 Cactus Club audio.
