Couldn't tell ya a song by caligulas but Wheel are pretty bloody solid. Finish band, very tool, karnivool style vibes. If caligulas bore me I'll just leave after wheels support slot.

The tours in late April ya mong!

I apologise for derailing this thread, Tool needs to get down here so I can finally see Rostetta Stoned and Flood live.

I feel some traveling on the cards depending where they'll play, finally going to Brisbane in May for Magic Round.

Haha yeah my bad. I'm still on holidays for another week. I don't know what day it is let alone what month.

Surprised ya didn't go to Sydney 07 side show when they played Rosetta Stoned?? Been lucky enough to have seen Flood twice. Up there in my top 3 live songs I reckon. Absolute banger!

Magic round is awesome, I hope it never leaves Brisbane, everything is close by, you'll have a killer time. Haven't decided if going this year. Last time I went we pumped the broncs by 50 and I won a grand. Pretty hard to top.

Sup earth ya bastard?! How are ya mate.

I had a look at a few Youtube clips, and they definitely look bigger - especially the side ones.

Yeah, the side screens definitely looked quite a bit larger in Vegas. My friend that went with me didn't think they were larger, so I looked up videos and I couldn't find a decent video. I'm glad you were able to confirm this, Hellboy.

There was more space on the sides of the stage, so they were larger than they were in some of the other arenas.
Depending on how the seats stow away or not on the stage end of the arenas determines how much width is available.

Makes sense. The T-mobile arena is a very new arena compared to most in the US.

Does this mean all the different variations of screens are transported to all the shows?

I did see some footage of the 2023 tour (I don't remember which show it was) where two screens mechanically slid out of behind the side screens to make the sides even larger. That was very interesting. I know this wasn't the case in Vegas because you could see that is is one solid screen.

BTW, did you start gambling after the show? Probably too late after you were done with everything.

Yeah they do.

Especially in Vegas. It's so easy to overdo the partying in that crazy city. Fortunately I stayed as sober as possible (babysitting my poster) for this show in Vegas. I want to remember these shows as clearly as possible.

They better get into the studio very soon!!! Time is running out for all of us!!! As in we are getting fucking old!

It's really just a matter of adding and subtracting tiles. The video wall is made up of a lot of 1x2m frames (or something close to that size). I think they go on carts as 2x2m modules.
Something like this:

I don't recall that happening. I know we weren't equipped to do that. May have been an illusion.

I'ts never too late in Vegas to gamble, just not advised.
