Deftones @ Fillmore, Denver CO, 2000-12-12

Wow so it's the 20th anniversary of Deftones White Pony.  Time sure does fly.  I've never shared this Deftones recording from the White Pony tour.  Now seems like a perfect time.

I remember already being down on the Fillmore as a venue back them.  They had cleaned it up from the Mammoth Event Center days but it was, and still is to some degree a big boomy barn that wasn't intended for super loud rock shows.  And sure enough this recording sounds like the Fillmore. 

So I wasn't excited that the show was going to be here.  Especially after seeing the band at the Ogden multiple times.  Always more fun at a smaller venue.  But I can't begrudge a band for getting bigger.  More power to them. 

By this time they were all over the radio and the general music listening audience was into the band too and I recall thinking that the crowd was terrible at the time.  Full of KBPI listeners I remember describing it to a friend.  He knew what I was talking about.  I might have just been being an cranky jaded elitist that night too.

Because of that I kind of had a low regard for this recording.  So I never revisited it until recently. And while it's not my best it's listenable.  The vocals clip a little bit when Chino is doing his full on crazy high pitched thing.  But still the music sounds decent and if your a big fan you should get a kick out of it.

Somewhere in the mists of time I decided to record over the minidisc that Taproot's set and the Deftones encore were on.  I looked and I have no CD copy that I could find.  So 7 Words with the Weezer cover stuck in there is missing.  It is what it is.
