With the AU touring kicking off shortly, should we start discussing who going and possible meet ups? Might require it’s own thread...?

I rather post this here than on the Random Socia Media thread, because I think the topic is more appropriate. PLSN released an article with technical details of the production of this tour, and some of the pictures in the article are AMAZING. Shame that we can't see more high quality photos of this...

"FULL STAGE PRODUCTION CONFIRMED"

Just spotted this in a FB post from Frontier touring...

Junior - Sounds like you're bringing the full US stage production for the AU/NZ tour. I couldn't be more stoked. Nice effort champ! These shows are going to be EPIC!!!

Really? Not a fan HB? It was one of my standouts from FI. I see it sitting alongside The Patient...slow quiet build up with an epic finale!

Glad you had a great show Joey. Totally agree. Interesting that the last three gigs were missing Descending from the set list. Love that they played “Down Under” as the exit song on the PA :lol: I’ve got a feeling they whip out 7empest at the first Aus gig. Anybody else? I found it strange that the...

Having not witnessed Parabol/a live yet, and being one of my favourite tracks from my favourite album, I’m preying they keep this in the current setlist. Vicarious is also an ‘aggressive’ live track, despite the lack of lyrics in the outro. I’d be happy without Schism, although I enjoy the extended ...

Stoked they managed to take out the award, glad the industry still recognises 15 minute prog brilliance! Congratulations to all involved. Now I guess they have to include it in the live shows, eh?

7empest soundchecked in Vegas apparently, this could be the debut... :o I heard the same! Going to Need quality vid/audio of this momentous occasion!! Might take a few sound checks before they go full run though. That’s true, it’ll definitely need more soundchecks, they might mix things up for nigh...

It didn’t take long for this to appear online... and man, it sounds fucking solid. I’d much prefer to hear this at one of the Melbourne shows over The Pot! And Swamp Song would be an added bonus! EDIT: Just updated the video to the full version which includes Eon Blue. Hopefully the crowds reaction ...

I read somewhere that the Patient was heard during a recent sound check, with MJK.
...So i'm gonna say this one's ...'Plausible'!

Confirmed

The Patient AND Swamp Song!!!

Correct. That’s why I’m chasing for confirmation, and footage ;) Setlist.fm is currently showing The Patient (+ Parabola) played, can anyone else confirm that they played Patient tonight??!

Thanks for the update Junior, I’m sure you’ll manage to put on an equally mind blowing production! Hellboy - I don’t think the heptagram has made it out for all AU tours, hoping they can transport it this time, I feel like it’s an extension of Danny’s kit! Luckily we are abundant in ferns out here...

This is AMAZING news! I’d be stoked if they surprised us with The Patient again. Such an underrated track! I was lucky enough to see it live back in 2011, immediately followed by Flood. :o Fun fact: the band rehearsed The Patient at their soundcheck yesterday, with Maynard doing vocals too. It sound...

Hey Junior, keen to see this new stage/lighting setup come to Australia next month! :) I remember in previous discussions, you mentioned that international shows were limited to what could be transported overseas. Can you give anything away as to what we might see on the upcoming AU shows? Hoping we...

After dwelling in it for a week and a half, as great as the VIP ticket was, as great as the VIP and venue staff were and how nice it was to meet them/talk, as nice as people I met were, as good as the seat and show was... the fact that Tool is rotating out new songs simply to play the Pot and Exten...

Thanks Kittaan. I don’t suppose anyone has seen footage of Descending from this recent tour? Keen to see how it’s being presented since the last time they played it.

First post... here goes!

Pretty stoked to see the addition of Swamp Song added to this setlist...
