Lmao it’s funny to me that Chino just shows up, casually goes “sup” and then proceeds to murder his vocal chords with that scream and kill the entire show. Killer show man.

[@JasonSikes-kp1cj]

Dude was a mad man for sure so good

[@stevenlevey5228]

That what he does

[@benxuuh]

damn that 14:46 camera transition

[@OrangeYTT]

Casually drops the sickest transition ever

[@thesilverhawaiian5024]

One of the best shows ive seen from this era...im 18 man I wish i couldve been around in the 90s bruh

Love the pfp. Helmet is badass

[@zenrosas5827]

whoever the tech dude was deserved a fucking raise bro.... drums sounded amazing as well as everything else

[@jaimejudkins3993]

This was my first Deftones concert...I've seen them alot and this remains the absolute best ever show..freakn' amazing...DEFTONES4LIFE!!!!

[@esellanta]

+Jaime Judkins wow to experience it in that environment must have been amazing

[@garykauffold8794]

Jaime Judkins that is awesome I was there as well the next time I had seen them at galaxy was with limp biz. that show was even better.

[@JMFC77]

I miss the galaxy!

[@jdogghoe]

Its always better to see bands in their prime. Before fame, before old age, before they lose that energy. All the live production value in the world cant beat a stripped down and hungry band putting their entire existence into it.

[@deena2931]

Peanut butter n JEALOUSSSSSSSSSSAAAA

I like how at 10:12 they’re all in sync. So awesome man

Fuck yeah!

[@michaeldane75]

Deftones were everything everyone else wanted to be after they came out, i remember people calling them "aggro-rock", "skate rock" or "hardcore". Ozzfest was great those years. I think this was the tour with Helmet, Quicksand and Orange 9mm. Would kill for a tour package that ill today. ALL those bands slay.

[@MiguelRamirez-cr7gh]

Yup! I remember all of these bands coming out of the woodwork sounding like copycats. Glassjaw too..

[@vxrdrummer]

Sacraments hardcore was another one I heard.

[@holy_braille]

Deftones were my first concert back in 95. They were humble then and they're humble now. There's a lot of talent is this band. Abe is probably the stand-out. Every guitarist I'm aware of wants a drummer with that kind of power and creativity. He knows how to accommodate a bassist as well

[@tylerjodeblock1224]

I believe I seen them on this exact same tour in Detroit at the Shelter in late 96. Still till this day one of the most memorable shows in my life. Deftones is one of the most real, honest and most authentic bands.

[@slavicharrystyles6914]

This looks like it would've been so much fun to be at. It's a shame music isn't viewed the same way anymore.

[@JSchaffer214]

Shit! I just had a flashback leaving my high school parking lot blasting this album outta my car. We were completely blown away by this album because we had never heard anything quite like it at the time.

[@carRmaRicaRbaTa]

Can't help sharing, love the crowd, the band , full of energy.. and Chino's sexy voice! :D

[@esellanta]

Rx Queen nicely put!

[@melfymelf1]

Still can't believe I was here!! Miss the Galaxy.

[@Weedeater58]

deftones back in the day so crazy, Chino in the crowd half the show! great times! to be young again. those screeches he used to do must have been hell on the vocal chords. this is not to say they aren't good live anymore.

[@demisemedia]

What Chino did @14:45 letting the fan yell into the mic just showed Deftones appreciation for there audience and that's how they got their loyal fan-base!! Great performance.. definitely gonna watch again!!!

Deftones "Adrenaline" is with Korn's "Korn", Rage Against The Machine "Ratm", Machine Head's "Burn my eyes" and Fear Factory's "Demanufacture" one of the best rock album ever!

[@Mandy_XO]

So, I saw them last night in Philly. After all these years, they can still draw a huge ass crowd! It was so good to see so many fans are still out there! I grew up listening to them and have loved them for over 20 years now. The crowd was still wild as fuck! All of us old kids, lol jammin right along with the younger twenty somethings who are just being turned on to Deftones. These boys will forever have a place in my heart. #deftones

I took off work the night before this show to see Cannibal Corpse for the first time @ The Galaxy. While I wasn't pissed I was highly disappointed to see the flyer for this show the following night,knowing damn well I couldn't slip away two nights in a row. I wish I had.

Lucas - chino is still sexy and still sounds better than most out there

[@emcmw]

Lucas - Time is our worst enemy, but what you do in between is what matters. The Deftones have toured the world over dozens of times and even played in a volcano so they have been very fortunate.

[@Kabz8]

Sounds like an immature as shit thing to say. Age is a number. Mindset is relative. Immaturity is eternal for some.

[@k5elevencinc0]

DAMN this shit was LIVE as fuck back then oh my GOD!!!!!

[@FaithReconstructed]

Man, I remember a bunch of my brother's friends went to this show back home in St. Louis. I remember I was so jealous because I had just gotten Adrenaline and wanted to go so bad, but my mom wouldn't let me (I was going on 13 at the time). But this reminds me of all the great concerts back home when rock music was still alive and well. Coincidentally, mom let me see Korn at Mississippi Nights that same year (go figure). Probably why she didn't want me going to this one, cause it was insane.

[@nickparsons337]

DAMN I miss Mississippi Nights! About the same size as The Galaxy. That venue never should've never shut down. That's where I saw Hum in '98 my first and only time. Fuel was one of the openers. Sad that at that time they were getting more airplay than Hum.

[@johnnyparamedic]
