COMMENTS
I’m not a big fan of theirs, but it’s awesome that they played so many songs. I wish more bands had extensive setlists like that.
Totally what’s said above… just wow! More bands should do this when they’re headlining a show!
I would pay an insurmountable amount of money to see Deftones play a 30 song set-list. I’d take out a loan, pay fucking payments, whatever. This is a System of a Down fan’s fucking wet dream.
Dang, that setlist is nuts. Would have been awesome to be there!
Keep in mind you can fit around 26.666 3 minute songs on an 80 min CDR. Nice to see Suggestions on there… Metro &/or Marmalade would’ve been dope
Yeah a lot of SOAD songs are fairly short, especially the stuff from Hypnotize/Mesmerize. I’ve been a fan of this band since s/t, which they still haven’t improved on in my opinion, but I’ve never seen this band live. From the far away grainy footage I’m seeing here, they don’t seem too exciting. Sound pretty good though. Thoughts?
friday i’m going to chief a nug of some dank azz fire. gonna get on a bus to my favorite drinking establishment across key arena and get shit faced. gonna stumble/crawl/zombie walk to key arena section 116 seat 3. going to sing like the dork in the prison video clip, vommit into a pape bag and get my second wind. then i’m going to do the same thing all over again for rammstein on sunday. life is rough.
Peephole is their best song there alright live but that was after hyp and mem which I think was weak too much darion on that cd not a fan of his music
Not a huge SOAD fan but props to them for giving their fans their money’s worth. Massive set-list. And I totally agree w/ the Deftones comment.

I agree with Deftones comments as well. Not an SOAD fan either but kudos for the setlist.
I am for deftones and SOAD playing together and both doing a huge set list. mega boner!!! (I still dig SOAD, not the new as much, but whatever).
I saw SOAD in 2005(?) Fall tour with Hella and the Mars volta. They played a similar set to this, 20 of the same songs(I looked it up). The mars Voltas’s mix was great, which allowed for a all out bananas big venue show: I wasn’t expecting that.
SOAD we’re boring, it’s pretty clear on those videos. In BYOB, Darren played a syncopated ska riff over the chorus, I’m all about changing shit up, but it was so hollow with no meat behind it. Everybody else though they were amazing,
Serj half ass’s his through the show way more than I’d like to see as well. I still love their s/t album and Steal This Album, Mezmorize was fun too,
I got into SOAD about two years before their second album, and, man, I used to think they were the world’s most dangerous band. Fast forward 7 years later, I saw then on MTV2 playing a new version of Sugar that sounded like Bavarian polka music.
I saw Serj solo in 2008 after his first album came out (Rock on the Range), and he was fucking terrible.
cant wait for the album
