deftones
November 25, 1998 - Missassuaga, Ontario - Arrow Hall

This would be the second time I would be seeing Deftones, but this set would be much longer. We (Kelly and I) arrived at Arrow Hall around 6:30 cause we didn't want to stand in the cold for a very long time. We got in about 20 minutes later.

There wasn't a very big crowd, I mean it was big. But I thought the crowd size would be much bigger. So this made the feeling more intamite.

The first band was was Snapcase, I didn't really like them. Just something about them that bugged me. They said they did Warped Tour but I don't remember doing them at Warped Tour. Probably one of those bands that was either on the little stage, or no one knew who they were.

Quicksand then came out about, 20 minutes after Snapcase left the stage. Quicksand were pretty good. Kelly and I were now in the middle of the crowd.

When Deftones started the mosh pit went crazy and Kelly and I were seperated. I was pushed more towards Stephan's side. I was then able to push my way to pretty close to the front. I was 3rd person! It was pretty amazing! I was being pushed up against people, and I had trouble breathing, but I wouldn't let that get to me! At one point a crowd surfer fell on me and I could feel my eyebrow ring rip abit, and I went to check to see if it was still there and it was, little did I know another crowd surfer was coming my way and when he did, my hand was pushed and I ripped my ring, it was still fine though, it hadn't fully ripped out. But didn't care though, I was having so much fun! Anywayz, they started off with Be Quiet and Drive, it took forever though cause they had some wierd shit before it. The set list was:

  1. Be quiet and drive
  2. my own summer
  3. Root
  4. Around The Fur
  5. Mascara
  6. Lotion
  7. 7 Words
  8. Engine No. 9
  9. Bored
  10. Minus Blindfold
  11. Headup
Finally when the concert was over, I was kinda sad, Deftones are one of my favourite bands, and yet again, a great concert had to end. I was so hot and sweaty I just wanted to get outside, but ones I did, it was raining and it got cold.. fast! I tried calling my dad at my grandma's house but I couldn't get through. So Kelly and I stood in the rain for over an hour. It was horrible. I was just glad when I saw the van pull up and we were in a dry car, but we were soaked, and cold. For the 2 hours home, I fell asleep. I was so tired.

I can't wait for Deftones to come back to Toronto again. I swear, next time I going to meet them! I know people who did, and I really want too!!
