Don't forget the jewelry.
Unfortunately too small to sign.

Just got home from the show. Holy fuck are they good. Maynard sounds amazing. Danny, Justin and Adam are so tight as a unit. The precision is mind boggling.
Junior. Kudos to your team. I think the crew’s soundstage area gets bigger each time I see a show.
I gotta say, unplugging and watching the guys and crew do their thing instead of doomscrolling World War 3 was a blessing. Bad JUJU logging back on to see Putin actually go through with it. Spoilers and more thoughts below.
► Show Spoiler
I got to add 3 new songs to my live experience: Right in Two (very poignant given world events), Descending (same) and culling Voices (same?).
RI2 blew me away. I always wondered if it would translate to a live show. It’s even better live.
I loved seeing all of the old video for songs like sober, Pushit, the grudge. I have been watching those animations for 25 years, and they are still so good.
The Pot and Hooker definitely had the crowd rocking out. Maynard’s voice sounds amazing. He isn’t pulling any punches on this tour, and no, fuck you buddy.
The Grudge is my favorite tool song and I have seen them play it 5 or 6 times, but tonight might have been my favorite. MJK doesn’t hold back. Everyone was firing on all cylinders.
I don’t know what to say about Descending. It is so perfect. Pure cinema. The second half of the song is a technical journey. Love it.
And Sober. I mean. Fucking sober. I remember the first time I heard it on the radio (KWOD 106.5 Sacramento). I remember the first time I saw the video late at night on MTV. It still kills.
Lastly Fear Inoculum is a masterpiece all on its own. It has everything a tool fans body needs.
Cheers again to Tool and the crew. Thanks for the traveling road show. See you next time.

The basic footprint hasn't changed in some time.
Occasionally the area behind us gets extended/contracted depending on the storage space in the venue hallways.
