Hello, I'm new here but a long time Deftones fan. I'm excited to go see the boys again during the current headlining tour this year and am gauging the interest in the Deftones community to put together a great live fan shot / made video. With technology where it is today, people have access to cameras that can capture high quality video, included HD cameras on their phones, making them easier to bring into venues (we've all seen and enjoyed live videos on youtube), What we can do, is capture the band at there best.... kicking ass on stage... and make a kick ass video from it. There's nothing like a Deftones show.
Recently I worked on a Radiohead fan shot video / dvd that was a huge success and even had the band contribute the audio to the project: http://radiohead-prague.nataly.fr/. (http://radiohead-prague.nataly.fr/.) Who knows, maybe it will happen again with Deftones. This project, if people are interested, can get the same kind of treatment included a Blu Ray release.
So, the question is.. is anyone going to this show interested (I picked this show because I'll be there)? Is anyone interested in doing a different show or doing snippets of the tour? Is this a dumb idea? Has it been done before with them? no more questions please... hehe
Hope to build some interest and get the ball rolling.
this would be great to see. i've always liked the look of multi cam from a crowd perspective. new york fans should get this shit happening.
Yeah, I'm hoping we can pull it off. The venue is a good size for such a thing too i think.
Are there any other Deftones forums that I should be looking at too you think?
Thanks guys!
good to know, thanks.

Wow... that Radiohead show blew my mind when i first saw it and to this day is my favorite " bootleg " ever by any band by an audience shot source....
FUCKING GREAT JOB !
you made alot of fans happy and the way you and your team shared it was awesome..
as far as getting people from here to film for a show ..... good luck...
most of the people that go out of their way to capture a great recording of a Deftones show in the US ( it seems) dont post here .
and if they did, they dont anymore because people ruin the original source they provide and hoard everything else without returning to the community the sharing aspect of the whole process in which they received their shows to begin with.
It is an awesome idea ..and the outcome would be great ( if done in the manner of http://radiohead-prague.nataly.fr (http://radiohead-prague.nataly.fr) )
but VERY unlikely with this bands trading and filming community..... Whoever would film the show or get access to footage thats filmed from the show, would not share it on here . At most it would be shared via youtube or some site like that.
I would suggest to go to another forum in a torrent site that specializes in live shows ( Dimeadozen or ZombTorrents ..sites like that ) and post the same thread encouraging Deftones fans to tape .
Also if you could somehow make a way to generate some profit from the project ( if it gets done ) with the benefits going to Chi Cheng and his family, I would totally ( like many fans on here and otherwise ) support it .
hope it gets done man and if I was in NY that week i would totally be down
good luck
Awesome idea, do it PLEASE!
would have been absolutely dope if this had happened to the cheng benefit shows. Anyway I hope your finding many contributors and if you present your idea to the defs I´m sure they´d love to help out.
Some sort of Teaser Video could be helpful in order to better influence the people.

Very cool man, thanks. I was really pleased with how the Radiohead project turned out and the overall response to it. We never expected it to turn out so well.
And thanks for the advice, I will definitely look into those other sites. For the other project, we had to contact a lot of people through youtube to get the original source of their videos but we did start with a good amount of tapers going into it from the various Radiohead forums... So I'm hoping I / WE can pull it off.
Great idea for Chi! I also had the thought of offering donations if the video can be completed properly. This would probably be the best way to get the band involved and just be a good thing to do. I hope the overall quality will be just as good... truthfully, i think it has a chance to be even better.
Also, IF ANYONE WANTS TO BE INVOLVED LET ME KNOW (sorry for the caps, just making it stick out... hehe). The more people involved the better (though it doesn't take a lot which is good). I would need some producers (ie: help securing tapers / footage, etc). This can be done from any location (the Radiohead project only had 5 people involved from 4 different countries throughout completion). Also, it's always good to have extra sets of eyes during the editing process to make sure it appeals to many. Anyone who wants to contribute their time would be most appreciated, and it will be a lot of fun.
So lets do this! Lets give back to the band we love and raise some money for Chi!

I know, i wish they made something with that footage they were taking those nights. I'm wondering if i should try to contact the bad before going into it? W/ the other project, we approached them after we did a bunch of edits and send them links to it, which won them over (unbelievably, hehe). But, if I can get in touch before hand, and they're all for it... maybe we can get better access! Maybe they would allow people to bring in cams like NIN did.... who knows. But I'm wondering, what's the best way to get in touch? We luckily had Radiohead's manager's email so that was surprisingly easily. I'm guessing I would have to try and contact them through the management company, velvet hammer.?.?.?
People in new york, help this guy out! That Radiohead thing turned out to be a huge success!

Thanks dude. It doesn't even have to be solely New York, but I figured I'm going to be taping that night anyway. It could be various songs from throughout the tour maybe, but I'm trying to get the pre production stage going.
would be considerably easier if you go to a cali show imo, though msg is unique and is a big venue at a time.

I´d say get a few supporters before at the garden then contact the band, not sure if velvet hammer is the right choice, but you sure could try, but contacting them for a particularly show and then nobody showing up resulting in a loss would be an epic flaw no one wants to see. Just sayin´ as there are usually not more than 5 angles at max from a show even the biggest, and you´ve to seperate great from inferior quality which of course come up on some stages of taping. Though we had considerably much pro footage for 2009/2010 around.
yeah, cali would prob be better. these shows in nyc aren't at the garden either, at best buy theatre which i believe used to be nokia theatre. i saw them there before and it was killer, so i think it's a good atmosphere... plus i don't think i can make it out to cali. though i don't have to be there of course, just need to create interest in filming for a purpose. the more shooters the better as there's always a lot to leave on the cutting room floor.
there's still a lot of time though. i think i'm going to throw out a feeler to the one love for chi folks and see if they think it's a good idea with all donations going to chi. i work at a post production facility so i have access to high end cameras, but there's something special about fan shot footage imo.
it's worth a shot, and if i fail so be it... i'm one for one so far, hehehe

Hope you can make, i'm sure Gina and all Chi family will welcome this =)
that will be awesome! you can make a great DVD Deftones show :)
doh... just realized i used the wrong date... it's 5/13/11. oh well, still going on
Just an update if anyone is following, we got a good amount of people interesting in filming... so on schedule.
Still need to get through to the band / one love for chi...
just checked the radiohead concert , the same thing for the deftones concert would be fucking awesome ... hope it happens
can't wait for it ;)
I don't have any kind of baller high end camera. But if I record anything worth sharing then I'll send it your way.

Great, thanks! Coverage is the most important thing, I'll be using my iphone... I'll take whatever you can record.
Next step is securing a good audio source.

That sounds cool, let me know if you would like a hand in the editing process or anything else... I'd love to help.
it would be great if the band could provide you the soundboard source of the concert like radiohead did, i think chino and the gang wouldn't mind it, but probably the tour and band manager and the Maverick suits won't allow it >:(

I'm afraid of that as well. I haven't heard anything back yet but I also don't have as good, or any, of a connection to deftones as I did for radiohead. I'm hoping the closer it gets to the date, the more luck i'll have.

Nice! I work at a post production facility in NYC, so I have access to everything needed.
Im travelling from Europe just to see these guys. May I join the group? Got a quite good camera phone, but, do you think would be any trouble for taking at the show a digital camera??? (compact one)
Quote from: Vesanic on May 05, 2011, 10:59 AM...
Thanks Vesanic, i hadnt any issue in Europe, specially when attending at solo shows (not festivals). Hope i wont have any difficulties from the Theater crew there in NY
DFTS & DSP : insane show !
I'll be there, and will do some recording. I always try to take footage of every show I go as a souvenir.. ;D. Let's keep in touch man!.
great guys! the more footage we have the better... I'm hoping to smuggle in a little zoom camera / audio recorder to get good audio as well. let's get more coordinated as we get closer to Friday.
can't wait!
where is the meeting to get a few drinks before the show? ???
What's the deal with this show? Do you think they'll put out two completely different set-lists? Plan an album whole? Play the same set-lists? What do you guys think? So many questions.
I'm not sure what they'll be playing, but I'm psyched... I hope they throw in some gems and mix up the setlist a bit
I won't be able to meet up before hand, but we'll def be in touch to collect the footage afterwards. This is gonna rock!!! Now I gotta come up with a plan for smuggling in a cam, not a big one but it's bigger than a phone.... hmmmn
I have a good one involving lube and your anus... Whatcha think ?

that's what we call "keister"ing it ...
(in jail anyway, where you smuggle shit up your ass)
i'm not down for that but i don't live in NY anyway so i'm not going to that show, but by all means people feel free to shove those cameras up your ass so i can enjoy the show via DVD
that's the spirit...
By the way, totally not trying to hijack the thread,but what are your guys' plans for getting to the show via metro. I'm assuming a lot of you will be coming in through Penn station?
It's an easy walk from penn. Just head north like 10 blocks.
so, how was it?
i guess no one made it... they all got caught with their handcams and were arrested...
this guy has the whole show on video
Deftones Rocks Live 5/14/11 New York Best Buy Theater complete show HD 2011 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B4_yrAVlQk#ws)
Quote from: vinsanity on May 14, 2011, 11:00 PM
so, how was it?
Both shows were phenomenal. This being the first time I had ever seen Deftones, I was admittedly skeptical towards the impending performance and more specifically, the performance of Chino as some YouTube videos have portrayed him as tiring rather quickly during a set. Of course, I was terribly wrong. Having seen many other bands in a live setting, I can say with confidence that Deftones are at the very top when it comes to putting on an engaging, energetic and moving performance.
It really was magical hearing songs that were only known to me in an intimate setting, through computer speakers and headphones emit through amplifiers with throngs of other enthusiastic, passionate fans. Chino, fortunately proved me wrong as well. For a guy nearing 40 years, he can sure still move with a spring in his step and swagger in his shoulders. Vocally, he was impeccable - hitting all of his cues, screaming nearly everything demanded of him and as a front man really understood how to work the crowd.
As for the rest of the band, they were flawless and everyone seemed genuinely thrilled to be there and jam out. It was incredible to see everything synchronize as well as the music, the performers and the crowd did. Also of note, the light show and visual backdrop only added to the experience. I know fully understand why I consider Deftones to be my favorite band.
Setlist:
May 13: Diamond Eyes, Rocket Skates, Birthmark, Engine No. 9, Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away), My Own Summer (Shove It), Digital Bath, Korea, Knife Prty, Hexagram, Minerva, Bloody Cape, You've Seen The Butcher, Sextape, Prince, Cherry Waves, Feiticeira, Elite, Change (In the House of Flies), Passenger (with Greg Puciato)
Encore: Root, Nosebleed, 7 Words
May 14: Diamond Eyes ,CMND/CTRL ,Rocket Skates, Around the Fur, Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away), My Own Summer (Shove It), Lhabia, Lotion, Digital Bath, Royal,
You've Seen The Butcher, Sextape, Risk, Beauty School, When Girls Telephone Boys, Minerva, Hole in the Earth, Elite, Change (In the House of Flies), Passenger, Headup
Encore: Engine No. 9, 7 Words
Oh, and don't bother inquiring about that complete, taped show unless you're willing to pay $23 for it. The whole transaction seems really sketchy. It's disappointing that someone would take advantage of a Deftones concert and their fan-base like that.
It was FANASTIC. Chino has so much damn energy now.
Some kid literally jumped over me FOR NO REASON during Digital Bath, hitting in me in the head and knocking my hat off. I could understand trying to do some wild shit during one of the heavier songs, but Digital Bath? Guess that's what I get for standing near the pit. It ruined the next song for me (I believe it was Knife Prty) because I was too busy trying to locate my hat.
Other than that, damn good show.
Yeah dude it was brutal out there.
oh man, i guess that's why the place is so strict against recording... what a douche to charge people for a single source video...
I got my cam in surprisingly easy, but got busted 30 mins into it. The place apparently has a reputation for taping... doh. I got away with the memory card, so still have some footage and good audio but i guess it depends on how the others did if this project will pan out... if not, i'll make something for what i have or just work on the other dvd from the tour.
fun show though, brutal indeed

Here's a vid I took from Friday:

Would LOVE to see more video from this night!!! I took 3 videos with my iPhone, but I was so close to the speakers the sound is shitty. View is nice though since I was right up there. So far I've uploaded Passenger to YouTube and will try to upload the other two, but those are shaky since Chino was right in front of me for a lot of them and I stopped looking at my iPhone for a time. haha.

Sure, you can use them (credit is appreciated though, even though they're not the best). I uploaded Passenger for download at meagvideo http://www.megavideo.com/?v=L8RH76ET (http://www.megavideo.com/?v=L8RH76ET) for a fan in the crowd who Chino was singing to at the end of that video (she contacted me on YouTube and requested it).
Would love to get video footage where Chino grabbed my hand during the one song, I think maybe it was Bloody Cape. That's why I want to see more footage from this night since he came over directly in front of me several times. :P
