New Album Touring (with SPOILERS!)

[tys0n]

7empest would be the best way to open the show but I'm going with Gravity.

[Busty McCracken]

Nah too obvious , if anything country boner

Fear Inoculum
AEnema
The Pot
Invincible

So far....

[sonnyboy11]

Pneuma!

[tys0n]

I guess they weren't going to eat up 15 minutes of a festival set with 7empest.

Now we wait another 2 days.

Festival set. Wonder what will be changed in a normal show. Guess Descending will be added along CCtrip.

Kinda surprised they did three Aenima songs but no Schism.

[children]

Can't wait for Pneuma. That was great though

[children]

Didn't have to lol

[sonnyboy11]

Fark Pneuma sounds perfect. Nice job guys.

[Ettan]

Love the new visuals! Hope I get to see them next year again, i'm hyped

[Sprout]

Jim trying to beat the traffic?

[ms2r]

Maynard sang mitosis to soon (Adam noticed Right away) Almost sang Warrior to early in Invincible.

Some more shows in and they'll sound great.

[hellboy]

More old songs in the setlist than I expected tbh. Surprised they played several older songs over Descending.
Not so surprised they didnt play 7empest, but I hope it gets a run at some point

[mattw]

I am pretty excited to see them replace one or two of those songs with Descending and 7empest. Today's show is probably the first since Lateralus came out that they did NOT play Schism. I swear I have seen that song at every show I've seen since 2001 and I cannot think of a show where they haven't played it this millennium...

[tys0n]

Not playing 7empest would be like touring Aenima and not playing Third Eye, COME ON!

[mattw]

Back in 2006 at Coachella (first show) they didn't play Rosetta Stoned at all but then opened with it two nights later in Seattle.

If they open their show in Denver on Tuesday night with 7empest it will be pretty special. I'd love to be on the floor when they come out on stage and just start their show with the first guitar part of 7empest; that would be nuts!

[Busty McCracken]

Didn't realise they were playing a festival first up. I figure it'll be FI for the entire tour or failing that 7empest at sideshows.

And Hboy fair to think they'll swap out some staples at their own shows compared to festivals I guess.

[tys0n]

Like I predicted earlier, 7empest will be near the end of the set for their club shows, not the last song, but towards the end, like D/R/T was.

[Busty McCracken]

With nude acrobatic contortionists swinging from the roof I hope. I'd also be disappointed if there wasn't at some point some sharks with fricking laser beams attached to their heads

A TEMPEST MUST BE TRUE TO IT'S NATURE

Even for a festival i was surprised only 3 FI tunes were played, thats lame. i get leaving descending out for a Fest with the few others but its still weird to play so little new, most people are there for Tool i assume. thank GOD schism is gone! i hope that stays this way!

they gotta play Tempest. no friggin way they cant. leave out CV but the rest is fine.

With the places that have 2 shows per city i wonder what will be diff ? most likely they will play 1 or 2 diff ones. as long as its not CV im ok with it, lol. Denver is tomorrow and Wed so will see pretty quickly what the changes for that will be. maybe its gonna be like earlier this year. part of me for intolerance or verse vica!

I will be at the 2nd Denver show. Im hesitant to look at the first nights setlist, as I want to be somewhat surprised, however I already looked at the Aftershock setlist.

My opinion is the setlist will vary only slightly from the festival set. I dont think they are such different venues that they will make massive changes for the arenas. Dont forget they debuted Invincible and Descending at a festival, why not do the same for 7empest? Likely cause it wont get played live for a while. I think Fear Incoculum will be the opener for the entire tour. Followed by a few older tracks from Undertow or Opiate. Invincible or Descending next, potentially both, then a Lateralus track, and end the show with Pneuma. While i hope i am wrong, why not just blow the doors off of a festival with 7empest?!

[ms2r]

Not playing 7empest isn't that weird. It took really a lot of shows for them them to add 10,000 days.

Given the technical aspect of 7empest I see the same happening.

Descending will be added for sure the normal venues. Alongside CCtrip for the break.

Also: for the first time since 13 years no Schism.

It’s my personal opinion that a song with the complexity of 7empest is impossible to perform on a nightly basis. I couldn’t imagine how taxing that song must be to play live, let alone create and record. I mean come on. It’s difficult to listen to just trying to follow along . Imo of coarse. I mean, how will they surround Adam with 11 amps to recreate the sound live??
Any veteran guitar players care to chime in on this??
Thanks and have a great day!
