These are all warm up shows I guess. Think they're just having fun with it all.

Quote from: rufas on May 14, 2010, 08:04 PMOne of the things I thought as I left were, are deftones a band now actually more suited to a big venue?

in theory  i would think they would be......  yet whether or not 'a bigger' venue would sell well or not im not sure depending on what size venue youre talking about    i think the venues limp bizkit are playing now deftones couldnt play, sadly     part of me wonders if these smaller shows are attracting more old or new fans   like to build a new fan base....

I dunno about that - I've seen Deftones sell out both the old London Arena and Wembley Arena - the latter is 20,000+ right? Of course this was a few years ago.  Both gigs were amazing! Then again the last leg I guess they played some of the academy venues like in Bristol.

Oppositely I've seen Limp Bizkit sell out Wembley Arena and Finsbury Park (OK the latter gig was free) -but some years later their popularity is waining, didn't they play Brixton recently?

I think after a few more months of DE promo (BBC coverage from what it sounds like too) there is a chance Deftones could well come back to one of the bigger 'arenas' - though Apollo/Brixton would be likely too I guess.

On a sidenote, does anyone have a copy of that recording from London Arena, March 2001, I remember it was up on deftones.com for a while

Deftones would own Arenas, they should be headlining the fucking things every time they tour!

But I agree about the venue volume. Was fucking quiet.

I don't have the recording (sorry) but I was at that Deftones gig at the London arena in 2001. I must have been 13 at the time and I remember my parents driving me and my friends all the way there as they wouldn't let us get the train lol. Good times

I've honestly been disappointed every time I've seen them in a huge venue.  I personally think they just sound better in clubs/theaters.  I think they struggle in arenas....

Yea, when they play in arenas, the sound isn't that great because of how much air space there's available. I prefer the small venues, because the sound is more closed in with the walls, and without that much echo either.

Hi. Has anyone found out, when MTV will present the gig? I am dying to see it!!!

Here are some clips from the show : http://www.youtube.com/user/EyesAreDiamonds

(my head and neck was hurting for a week after this gig )

I always prefer small venues...

I wanna know toooooooooooooooooo

i honestly dont think they will anymore, the venue just wasnt well suited to filming, they had to film from crowd level and i reckon most shots were ruined by the crowd, i'd personally love to see the footage as i was in the crowd but anyone else watching it would be like 'this is shit all yo can see is people getting in the way of shots of the band'.

hey was that the docklands show u guys were talkin bout?   I was there, got 2 different recordings of it.  a friend of mind merged the two together and made an amazing final version.  they were amazing that night and the atmosphere was insane.

The original bootleg posted on deftones.com years ago was missing quite a few songs.

If you have a complete merged version as you say above, PLEASE upload it!!! I'd be very grateful.

Yeh, where is that ULU footage? Seems a little late now though.

Absolutely blinding gig so I'd love to see it again.

MTV never said they would screen it though? I can't remember it even getting mentioned when it will be shown.

It was shown on Channel 4 the other night apparently.

bullshit... link?

but that thing on Channel 4 a few months back was pretty shitty. Was an interview with the band with intermittent live clips if I remember correctly.

hmmm its still listed on there but no longer avail to watch

That SUCKS.

The ULU venue was bullshit.

I reckon they must have had a work experience kid placed right in the pit with a big fuck off camera on his shoulder too just so the other camera peeps could laugh at him from above - there was no way those shots could have been any good.
