My one and only experience (out of 20 or so Tool gigs) of being close to disappointed was two Texas shows in 2009. But it wasn’t set list related. It was MJKs seeming disinterest in being on stage. He was disengaged and performed well under par IMO. I’ve heard similar complaints from many others on ...

Recurring themes are recurring.

When you set your expectations up to fail, you likely won’t be disappointed... in being disappointed.

Sucks that you didn’t enjoy the experience BoldOne, and it’s not like I don’t agree on some of your points, but see above.

Nice first post. Looks like the dude filming SS didn’t know the song well.... but nice to see some of those closeups.

Holy shit. How did I not remember this dropped...? I've heard a few tracks, but was looking forward to hearing this all the way through.

Thanks man, off to a bike ride to imbibe this.

@ fortysixand2 - Totally agree, it's an unconscionable scam - TicketBastard™ is a scalper, and it's so wrong. Please check your TB account to make sure those mofos didn't actually complete the sale on some of those earlier error transactions. They got me with that on the last leg. Why Tool can't mak...

Wow.... I am blown away at how fucking far back "Platinum" tix go. I got a decent seat, at a reasonable (I guess - $170 with fees) price for Fresno (after an anxiety inducing "you have 2000 people ahead of you in the queue" 10 minutes). Went to SD to see availability and was floored to see $325 to o...

@ Spoonman - That’s interesting. I cannot relate (amazing track), but nobody should be beating up on you for not enjoying a song. Have you given it equal time, or do you just skip it?

Great reviews guys. Brought me back to my shows. Looks like there were a few tweaks from the LA shows I saw, which is good to hear. The “hallway mirror” effect was on Danny during CCT, if it’s what I think you’re referring to. No guests sitting in at all. I loved the re-use / re-purposing of some of...

Apparently it’s true. Just found out my yoga teacher is dating the guitarist and she said they are working on a new album. Cool story bro. He’s also a huge Tool fan, no surprise.

I know you’ll find it. Tenacious M.

Damn, still no SF shows. May be headed to SD in Jan, Norm and Matt...

Did they really play Culling Voices tonight?

Yeah, no.

I think Junior looks at everyone like they’re crazy.

By the way, if Junior has a kid and names him Junior, he’d be Junior Senior. In Spanish speaking countries, he’d be addressed as Señor Junior Senior.

Carry on.

Goodonyuz!

They are in fine form, and I predict a 7empest is headed your way, true to it’s nature.

Zach seems to be the odd man out. when they need the money a reunion again ? hmm

That was from July. Prophet of Rage indeed, Bob! Good call.

Just noticed they omitted The Pot last night? And no replacement, just deleted a song from an already short set. Bummer. Let’s hope that’s not a trend.

Not guilty. I’d go see several more Xerox copies of these shows this tour. And I can’t wait to catch ‘em all, eventually. But, getting back to the thread at hand... has anyone noticed that these lazy motherfuckers are now more than 1488 hours without a new album?! Get off your asses and put out some...

Well deserved.

Danny is a God. I’m still buzzing over his performances in LA. The other lads were quite good as well.

Wow, don’t say that in front of the wife RSH! Honestly, the quality of the performance, the sequencing, the stage show/lighting/visuals and just the obvious enjoyment they all exhibit in Being there together, delivering some of their new material will obviate any need you have to bitch about the set...

Got my tix for Dec 21 with the kid. Looking forward to it.

How were Killing Joke? I really enjoyed Killing Joke. Their live sound was huge. I have to admit, I was not looking forward to seeing them much... and after hearing their first song that first night in LA, I didn't give them much of a chance, just walked around the arena concessions area, giving th...

Oh hell yes. HB in LA (and SF) needs to happen. It was great meeting these guys and putting names to faces. One of my favorite memories is of Panther777’s girlfriend visibly cringing at some obscure FE reference. So hilarious. Despite the obvious setlist gripes, I’d go see them again On this tour in...

Great examples Busty. And boy does he deliver it well live (not 7empest, obv). MJK is clearly on top of his vocal game and enjoying this. They all are. Danny is a true göd of percussion.
