Deftones
Orbit Room
Grand Rapids, MI
May 2010

Perfect mix of venue size, volume, energy, and stage presence.

The opener is below - Rocket Skates (clip clearly doing little justice). It was their first tour after going through some seriously rough times (bassist's eventual death). Chino looked as if he were experiencing a re-birth on stage, leaning down at the start and just soaking it all it. Legit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qInP0dFbncI

Mushroomhead concert at Peabody's in Cleveland about 2 years ago. They were really good but Hed P.E. opened for them and they were even better. I had never even hear of Hed P.E. before that but now I'm a big fan.
