ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – Deftones rocked the stage at The St. Augustine Amphitheatre, on May 17. They were the headlining act, Code Orange was the direct support and there was no opening act.
Chino Moreno is the vocalist and guitarist, Stephen Carpenter is the guitarist, Frank Delgado is the samplist/keyboardist, Abe Cunningham is the drummer and Sergio Vega is the bassist of Deftones. Vega also assists with backup vocals.
Delgado made his way to his keyboard and Carpenter walked and made devil horns with his fingers to show appreciation for those in attendance. Shortly after, the rest of Deftones made their way to their positions. After everyone reached their marks, they began their performance with “Rocket Skates”.
Prior to “MX”, Moreno complimented the crowd. He stated how beautiful they all were and how the city of St. Augustine, Fla. was too. He went onto say how it was great to see them again, thanked the crowd and continued on with the song.
Before the start of “Change (In The House of Flies)”, Delgado switched from facing Cunningham and playing his keyboards to facing the crowd and incorporating his turntables. He began with playing an instrumental which tuned in and out. Moreno approached his microphone stand with his guitar over his shoulder and they began the song. Cellular phones were raised to capture the performance on their smartphones and Vega assisted with backup vocals.
Stagehands appeared on stage to wrap up cords, soon after some members of Deftones parted the platform for the encore. Moreno returned with a new shirt and Delgado remained off stage. Moreno encouraged the crowd to clap along to the instrumental and they followed suit. They began with “Engine No. 9”. As they did so, Moreno jumped into the photo pit and stood on the back of the barricade. Hands grasped onto him to help maintain his balance, as he leaned forward to sing.
Moreno rejoined his bandmates, before “Engine No. 9” came to a close. Then, Deftones ended with a cover of Cypress Hill’s “How I Could Just Kill A Man”. Afterwards, Moreno thanked the crowd one last time and Cunningham gave away some of his drumsticks.
“My Own Summer (Shove It)”, The Cars’ “Drive”, “Prayers/Triangles”, “Swerve City”, “Rosemary”, “Diamond Eyes”, “You’ve Seen The Butcher”, “Prince”, “Digital Bath”, “Knife Party”, “What Happened To You”, “Around The Fur”, “Rickets”, “Rubicon” and “Root” were also part of Deftones’ set.
