Deftones LIve Debut of "Bored" 1994 Berkeley Square

This is a real treat. A gem. This is the first public performance of The Deftones song "Bored." Listen to Chino before and after the song. The lyrics are raw, the changes and the arrangement are different. And all this on a night that saw Salmon and Korn on the bill at the Berkeley Square circa late '94. History in the making. Enjoy!!!

I saw them a year later at the Square. A friend of ours was in a band called Level(they never made it). We all pretty much dug the Deftones, but we never thought they'd make it to where they are now. Little did we know that another band that was on this tilt would make it after this show(papa roach). After the Square shut down a lot of the thrash/hardcore bands ended up at venues like the BombShelter. The 90's were good times in the 510.

I totally remember Level! I think I might have a tape somewhere even.

This is the real deal - a rare glimpse into the beginnings of one of the greatest American bands ever. Thanks so much for posting.

Bored exists like 14 years now but it still sounds so fuckin fresh and cool.

The song was actually titled "Oralled" at this point in the writing (I hung out with Steph almost everyday from 93-95).... Oh, and "Adrenaline" was to supposed to be "Communion" until after the album was mastered.

@rcabanas10

Are we talking the band that released the self titled with a track about being a superhero underneath these clothes?

[TheNHRaider]

Why do bands always sound their best when they're just starting out?
