Alice in Chains / Deftones / Mastodon at Molson Amphitheater in Toronto.
After waiting in line for nearly an hour to get in, I arrived to catch the last half of Deftones. I mean, for a place that size having 4 people doing pat-downs is criminal. I hope somebody gets canned for that decision. I had already caught Mastodon last year, so that wasn't the end of the world.
Deftones are awesome, no doubt about it. They played most of Diamond Eyes (was still able to hear from outside) and every song sounded like a hit. Their sound was incredible, lots of energy onstage, outstanding performance.
Finally seeing Alice in Chains was a dream come true. I have liked them for a long, long time and their latest album is my second favorite after S/T. Their setlist did not disappoint, plenty of grunge for the dudes and fun for the ladies. William DuVall is one hell of a singer, and he plays rhythm guitar as well which fills out the sound nicely. Jerry is of course a definite A-list guitarist, everything sounded like it should.
I left satisfied.
