[SadSummerSea]

July 25, 2009
Dallas, TX
Nokia Theatre (Grand Prairie)

[Majesty12]

Sec 406. Row B. Seat Dos.

I am excited.

[Ganjalf]

oh yeaaah cannot wait for this.

[mrpresident]

Sec. 309!!!! I can't wait! I don't care what songs they play again, as long as we get to see Lateralus live again. Tool and a tour of the new Cowboys Stadium. Should be a fun weekend.

[TOOLwrench]

i got pit after dropping almost 600 bucks for me and my girl!
My 7th Tool show. Wish we could go back to the Aenima days when i saw TOOL in OKC for 20 bucks and both OKC Lateralus shows for 40 bucks!

[Tmax]

Sec 101 Row N Seats 3 and 4. Cant wait !! I'm leaving this site once July 18th roles around to avoid any setlist spoiling!!!

[TOOLwrench]

i hope i can avoid the setlist as well but it will be hard not to peek

[Tmax]

This is the set they will play

The Grudge
Jambi
H
Hooker W/ a Penis
The Pot
Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned
Opiate
Lateralus
Vicarious
Aenima

I would die a happy man

I hope that I never have to sit through the pot live again. Snooze fest.

[Tmax]

I hope that I never have to sit through the pot live again. Snooze fest.

Well if you hate it so much just peek at the set lists prior to dallas and if its on the set, sell your ticket(s) PROBLEM SOLVED

Saw it live once on the last tour, I thought it was a high energy song. Extremely difficult vocals... A lot of non tool fans like this song(usually not the most popular among Tool fans) and it was a single, but a snooze fest? I disagree

[Thatsarealzinger]

i hope i can avoid the setlist as well but it will be hard not to peek

Stay strong brother/sister! I will be doing the same. No forum for me from July 18th until after the Fairfax show.

[pensar]

horrible....where are all the updates to let me know they were actually on sale?

[Tmax]

I just saw a commercial on Palldia for the Mile High Festival the background music was Sober... I wonder if they are gonna replay the festival on Palladia ??? That would be fucking awesome, but totally against everything Tool has ever said about them being on TV...

Oh and while i'm here anyone have a setlist prediction?

[cantkeepmeaway]

would love to get some tix to this show im thinking about seeing the san anton show then this one the next day ...any help?

[kanaduh]

you should have no problem getting face value tickets for the san antonio show. I believe ticketmaster still has plenty of seats on sale. Failing that, I'm sure you could get floors or decent seats on the tickethookup section on these forums; I've seen plenty of posts for the san antonio show.

as far dallas, I do believe i've seen some singles posted on the ticket hookup as well. but take advantage of these offers quickly because the dallas show is much higher demand and less tickets were available. as a last resort i'd even go to stubhub or a scalper, because it seems that will possibly be one of the best and most intimate shows of the tour.

[Billdozer1707]

Anyone have any idea as to what may be done to make this one of their greatest shows ever?

[Tmax]

Dont know....I have been wondering about that ever since the BMB post back when the show was announced. Starting to think it was just him fucking around...dont know though???

[Billdozer1707]

We think that either they are going to have some amazing opening band or perhaps filming a dvd with some older material. I'd kill to see them play H. , Opiate, Sober, and Ticks and Leeches

ive got the san anton tix thanks for the info...im really not to keen on paying scalpers but ill look into it

[The Sven]

ive got the san anton tix thanks for the info...im really not to keen on paying scalpers but ill look into it

Someone recently posted for sale on the ticket hookup thread two face value tickets to Dallas, which seemed to be pretty decent seats.

[Tmax]

Who is we ? i would also love to hear H opiate or ticks.also tweak bird is opening just check out their myspace page http://www.myspace.com/tweakbird unless there are multiple openers for this show

[Billdozer1707]

We would be me and the 3 other guys that I am going to the concert with

oh ok ... just rumors u have heard ?

[texan]

Anybody heading to the Dallas show from the RGV? Or from Austin? I'm 9 hours south of Dallas and will be heading to show solo so far.

[SHbassGTR]

I've got floor seats for the San Antonio show and front row balcony for Nokia (Sec 412 Row A). Gonna be a great weekend! I just hope they play Pushit. This will be my 8th and 9th times seeing them and still never heard that damn song before! Also, the Grudge would be awesome! See you all there!

[shraman]

Dont know....I have been wondering about that ever since the BMB post back when the show was announced. Starting to think it was just him fucking around...dont know though???

Tori Amos is playing the night before....maybe she will do something with Tool as they are friends.

[shraman]

Anyone have any idea as to what may be done to make this one of their greatest shows ever?

Tori Amos is playing Nokia theater the night before, who knows, she may come out and do something with Tool. I do not know why Dallas is getting all the hype, but I have heard from some credible sources that all the effects will be in full swing by that show.

[shraman]

I bet they do one cover....I hear it will be a good cover too....not gonna say which one I think.

She's playing in Austin the night Tool is playing Nokia.

[plexus]

i have a boner for this saturday!

[Tmax]

I can't wait to attend "one of the best tool shows ever"(BMB) on Saturday !!!

[Ganjalf]

i have a boner for this saturday!

Fuck you Mr. 10 tickets for pit. *jealous*

[Tmax]

i have a boner for this saturday!

did u stand in line at an actual ticketmaster outlet to get ur tickets? Also everyone is bitching about their ticket prices, but the Dallas show is far and away the most expensive stand alone Tool show. it's not just the venue either cause I paid $49 to see the offspring there about a month ago. Any ideas?

DALLAS TOOL SHOW

is confirmed. Tickets will be on-sale this... Friday. One of the best Tool shows ever will be on JULY 25... at the NOKIA THEATER at GRAND PRAIRIE. And being that it's such a big state... who knows... maybe more.

BMB

[Tmax]

I really would love to know if there is any truth to that post by BMB or if he was just fucking around I guess we will find out soon enough. I'm trying to be patient!!!

[TOOLwrench]

we'll know saturday bro,i can't wait! I just hate the 5 hour drive from northern Oklahoma!!!!!

[plexus]

yeah, i stayed at a fiesta ticketmaster from 6 in the morning on friday.
and i only got 6, not 10. glad i had the cash for it, its worth it.

[Tmax]

fuck yes it's worth it !!! I couldn't be in pit anyway tho my old lady has panic attacks in GA crowds... found that out the hard way.... hey toolwrench I'm driving from Tulsa where u coming from ?

[TOOLwrench]

Enid

[LPPanther]

I know it's just peopl going to the show posting in here right now but once Saturday rolls around there will be plently of people in here wondering if someone is tweeting the setlist. I will be. @lppanther

[Sp00k]

Thx, Apparently New Mexico doesn't have wireless service in the venue or they don't know what the internet is.

[MelbaToast454]

My brother-in-law and I will be driving from Tulsa also! Where's the after party?! We lucked out with Row AA. At the Tulsa show we had Row A and it was TOO close. This is just behind the GA pit.

I CAN'T WAIT!!

[LPPanther]

Thx, Apparently New Mexico doesn't have wireless service in the venue or they don't know what the internet is.

Seriously, I'm dying without updates haha.

[TOOLwrench]

you got good seats melba,i got pit HELL yeah,i dont think you can be too close unless you're there for visuals,further back may be better. I had rail at both OKC Lateralus shows and i was happy there. I normally get pit tickets to most shows.
what other concerts are you guys going to this summer?
I got TOOL Dallas (obviously)
Mayhemfest OKC (slayer manson etc)
Hatebreed with Chimaira OKC
Emmure with evergreen terrace Tulsa
KATTFEST OKC (BLS Static X Suicide silence Mudvayne Bury your dead)
LAMBOFGOD with GWAR and Job for a cowboy OKC

[MelbaToast454]

Well I guess I wasn't too close at the Tulsa show but as far as visuals go. I was so close Maynard hit my brother in face and reflected into my hands! haha he joked about me selling it on ebay but I just fuckin drank it right there.

I won't tell u how much I spent on these tickets but I had to spend a little more than usual but I've always wanted to see Tool in a small setting like Nokia. This will be my 5th show.

This summer so far I got a ticket to see the Melvins August 24th! When is Mayhemfest?
I can't believe the Melvins are playing Tulsa and headlining the show (Marquee).

[TOOLwrench]

The Melvins are playing the diamond ballroom OKC also.
I saw them with TOOL on the Aenima tour back in 98.
This is my 7th show and i've been to this venue to see Killswitch Engage with LambofGod.
Mayhemfest is august 16th at the zoo amphitheatre,its like 12 bands.
go to zooamp.com

[TOOLwrench]

dude i hate the 5 hour drive coming back from dallas.
are you coming home that night? I am..........i walk in the door at about 5 in the morning. we've done this 2 or 3 times before,its exhausting but worth it.

Fuck no man... I've made that drive after a concert before but never again... I splurged months ago for a decent hotel five minutes from the Theatre . Good thing I did it when I did cause I am barely gonna be able to afford gas, food, and merch!!

[plexus]

im glad i live in dallas.

i saw muse twice at nokia... both in the pit.
awesome shows... the pit wont be too too bad.

[plexus]

the pit wont be too too bad.
and by that, i mean too violent.
its not very big

[manny214]

Just seen TOOL, at the mile high festival last saturday. Man the setting and surroundings made that show incredible. it looked as if i were in a time capsule and TOOL was just going hard at it. the smoke machines made it seemed that way. and NOW i got TOOL this weekend too, also in the pit! woo. my third eye will be ready! see ya there.

[EyesOfAFallenAngel]

Dont know....I have been wondering about that ever since the BMB post back when the show was announced. Starting to think it was just him fucking around...dont know though???

Someone at my work asked if I was going to the show with White Snake? Couldn't say if it was this or San Antonio. Uhhh?

edit:// nevermind, saw something about Judas Priest and White Snake the next night.

Yeeeah. I asked her where the fuck she heard that, because it sounded absurd. She said she didn't remember, and then said "I wonder who would open for who?" wtf. no.

[MelbaToast454]

No way am I driving 4+ hours back to Tulsa that night. I usually hit a strip club or bar then crash at the nearest hotel. Eat at Pappadeux's in the morning of course. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMm

[texan]

I know it's just peopl going to the show posting in here right now but once Saturday rolls around there will be plently of people in here wondering if someone is tweeting the setlist. I will be. @lppanther

pappadeuxs = good stuff !!! I'll be eating there for lunch saturday!! great seafood!

[MelbaToast454]

Row AA seat 11 and 12. need someone to party with. last time at the strip club they played H. right after the concert......Good times.....

[Tmax]

Cool man ! my girlfriend and I plus my two buddies are going down Saturday morning...Maybe we will swing by your seats before or during Tweak Bird... OR you can stop by ours... Section 101 Row N seats 1-4

PS you have GREAT fucking seats!!!

[mattwcoley]

I think Faith No More will be at the show tomorrow night! I could be wrong but there are a lot of cryptic posts by jmk on fourtheye.net that seem to hint in that direction. Should be amazing. Now if they would only play Sober!

[hboghbog0]

I think Faith No More will be at the show tomorrow night! I could be wrong but there are a lot of cryptic posts by jmk on fourtheye.net that seem to hint in that direction. Should be amazing. Now if they would only play Sober!

Who is that "jmk" guy on fourtheye? I can't imagine that it's Maynard, but they are certainly talking like they are in the know.

And Faith No More at that show would be Epic!

[Ganjalf]

Faith no more is not going to show up don't get your hopes up.

[plexus]

Faith no more is not going to show up don't get your hopes up.

no, faith no more will not 'show up' at the show.
that sounds a bit ridiculous

But im curious how many of you think that we will see anything... any change in the setlist, cover song, altered version of a song, anything at all that world justify Blair saying:

"One of the best Tool shows ever will be on JULY 25... at the NOKIA THEATER at GRAND PRAIRIE. And being that it's such a big state... who knows... maybe more."

i mean... i think theres gotta be something to that statement...
but when has tool ever pulled out a 'surpise' for their fans?
other than once they played a extra extra encore of Faaip de Oiad. thats pretty fucking surprising.

im hoping to see something.

[plexus]

yeah, i seriously doubt faith no more will play tomarrow night.

especially considering that theyre playing in EDINBURGH SCOTLAND at the flippin CORN EXCHANGE festival... haha

i dont know who the fuck jmk is at fourtheye, but hes a nob.

[Ganjalf]

I'm doing it tomorrow

[plexus]

I know it's just peopl going to the show posting in here right now but once Saturday rolls around there will be plently of people in here wondering if someone is tweeting the setlist. I will be. @lppanther

but this person said they already do it.
whats up with all the tweeters in dallas.

those arenas got 10-15,000 people and no tweeters? and we already got an army of tweeter spys for tdn in dallas?

[texan]

WOOT! getting ready for drive to dallas. At show, i'll tweet if I get cell reception. You can follow me at jambi. I know, I know. I just really was into that song when I created my account. Anybody heading to the racetracks? Hope everyone has a safe drive to show.

Man, some buddies went to SA show. Kinda jealous but whatever. Nokia here I come!!!!!

[plexus]

Man, some buddies went to SA show. Kinda jealous but whatever. Nokia here I come!!!!!

the dallas show will be 10 times better. its way way smaller. every seat is a good view.

[Ganjalf]

tonight! finally!

[goosenesque]

Anyone know what time Tool has been going on this tour?

Also, for those who have been to Nokia, does the pit get pretty violent?

[Sp00k]

No, the pit is not at all violent. They usually go on 1 hr after the ticket time. So 9pm tonight!

[goosenesque]

Ya I figured since it looks like a pretty small pit, there wouldn't be as much madness.

I hope this show ends up as epic as that clown Blair made it sound.

[jwb]

Just got to big D. Haven't checked a setlist all week. As sad as this sounds, I feel like I accomplished something. I gotta get a life.

See you guys tonight!

[kanaduh]

jwb i'll give you a call when i get to dallas.

you going to atlanta as well?

[jwb]

jwb i'll give you a call when i get to dallas.

you going to atlanta as well?

Cool. Not sure about ATL. Don't have tickets and I should probably go to work.

[teknofear]

Can. Not. Wait. Got my ticket online the morning ticketbastard released them, I lucked out and got sec 101, Row Q seat 1.

TMAX, I think I'm right behind you...

Have seem several shows at Nokia, and I have high expectations for the performance tonight... There's really not a bad seat in the house, but this will be the closest I've been at Nokia, as well as the closest to seeing Tool - have always had lower balcony seats for some odd reason.

HOLYFUCKINSHIT - They did "FLOOD" last night in San Antonio...


This will be fucking amazing.

[goosenesque]

Let's keep the setlist talk out of this thread. A lot of people haven't looked at the setlists and want to be surprised (not that they ever change the setlist anyway).

[jwb]

At the horse racing track across the street from the Nokia. It's about the only thing to do in GP.

[sonnyboy11]

Have fun tonight fuggers! I got a lazy Saturday going here so I'll be checkin posts and tweets. What the hell, eh?

[jwb]

Thanks Sonny. I'm currently amazing myself (and those around me) with my uncanny ability to miss trifectas, exactas, superfactas and any other factas there may be by one F$&@in' horse!

[tabula.rassa]

my buddy randy and i are prepairing... lots of youtube and happiness... this will be... well... you know.

[plexus]

wee!

[jwb]

Last wager coming up then I'm going to walk across the street and see if I can hear any of the soundcheck.

[jwb]

Anyone wondering. Tickets still availabe at the door.

[CLaybobMastadon]

Can't believe there's still tickets available! Nokia's not that big...


SEE YOU ALL IN ABOUT 2 HOURS!!!

haven't seen Tool since '98. really looking forward to this... even if i did pay as much in service charges as i did for the fracking ticket!!!

[CLaybobMastadon]

The Melvins are playing the diamond ballroom OKC also.

go to zooamp.com

diamond ballroom is still open? that place fucking rocks!

[jwb]

No luck with the soundcheck. Too big a place to hear anything - i guess, and it's hot as nuts outside.

[sonnyboy11]

Anyone wondering. Tickets still availabe at the door.

What kinda seats? I checked at the US Airwaya show just for kicks and they had tickets but they were all partial view only.

[aevasquez]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Tooooooolllllll!!!!!!! lol

[jwb]

Not sure where they were located, but I heard someone say they were $80 and you were only allowed to buy two.

[jwb]

Soundcheck must have run late. Inside concourse, but not allowed to go to seats.

[jwb]

Inside now. Place is nice. They just played "evil Joe" over the PA, got a few laughs. Meshugah? Oops. I should know how to spell that, is on now.

[withSpirit]

JWB, thanks for the updates, man. I'm really curious to see if they do anything different tonight after hearing about all the hype and mystery surrounding this show. I was at the SA show last night, and they were spot on. You have a lot to look forward to even if there isn't anything different about this show (assuming this is your first show this tour). Will you be updating the set list live?

[withSpirit]

no, faith no more will not 'show up' at the show.
that sounds a bit ridiculous

Keep in mind that when Blair made that announcement, the San Antonio date had not been announced yet. I think that may be all he was hinting at when he said 'maybe more'...another show in Texas (which would the one last night). As far as calling it 'one of the best ever' though, I'm not sure. Maybe they are going to do something different.

[no_name]

yeah, i think he said that line exactly. TB should be starting now i think. show starts at 8 right?

[jwb]

yeah, i think he said that line exactly. TB should be starting now i think. show starts at 8 right?

TB just finished up. Good stuff. Props to them. I'll try to keep it updated, but security is pretty much all over you if you bust out an iPhone when the lights are out. Guess they think it's a camera.

[jwb]

Alex grey ad on now.

[dave-tx]

TB just finished. My second time seeing these guys (last night was the first), and I really like them. Tool has been doing a great job picking openers the past several tours.

[jwb]

Shit. Battery low.
White stage. White curtain behind. Looks 10,000 daysish

[withSpirit]

Sounds like shit. No one into it.
I wouldn't have expected that from this venue. Unless you mean Maynard's rapid fire vocals, in which case I agree, those do sound like shit. I don't understand why he doesn't do the low growl he does on the album. it's not like it would strain his voice.

that's it

Thanks!

and an additional lol.

thanks for the updates, guyz

I guess that dispels the rumors of anything special happening. I'm trying to decide if Blair is an asshole, or if we just read too much into what he wrote.

[Simmy]

I guess that dispels the rumors of anything special happening. I'm trying to decide if Blair is an asshole, or if we just read too much into what he wrote.

i think everyone read into it too much. i mean why would the band do something super special for just one show of the tour just because blair said so. i think he thought it would just be a good way to post the news confirming the show.

[withSpirit]

i think everyone read into it too much. i mean why would the band do something super special for just one show of the tour just because blair said so. i think he thought it would just be a good way to post the news confirming the show.

I've always thought that as well. But in the back of my mind, I hoped maybe they'd warm up for the first 5 shows, and then either play a small amount of new material or play one or two really rare songs for the first time in Dallas, and then continue doing that for the rest of the tour. I never thought it would be only in Dallas, I just thought it might begin there, if they were going to do anything different.

[sonnyboy11]

Thanks ganjalf.

[teknofear]

not to sound like Debbie Downer or anything, but I was completely stoked getting there (got there right after Jambi), but I was really expecting more from tonight. Was in sec 101, row Q, the fuckin little security guys were nazis about phones and such, but I was able to sneak a few pics (they're on pixerbog now). Yeah, Adam and Justin were wearing all white, Danny was in his usual basketball getup, MJK stripped down to his skivvies at one point, I think before Lateralus, where the drummer for TB came out in a Native American headdress, MJK said something like, "let the drum phagittry begin" (THAT"S LITERALLY WHAT HE SAID), which they did somewhat dualing drum solos (during Lateralus).

On a side note, as we got there late, once inside, made a dash for one of the beer stands, paid $7 for one Shiner (after the fuckin $15 for parking), made my way into the auditorium, was all ga-ga about being there, was walking down the steps between sections 201 and 202, was watching the stage not watching where I was going, and fuckin took a spill going down the steps. Rollled my fuckin ankle three ways to Sunday (gonna be a moderate sprain), and got a big-ass knot on my other knee.

That's probably what I'll remember most about this show.

The show was good overall, sound was pretty good, at least from my vantage point. Should've bit the bullet and traded my 101 (and some extra scratch) for a pit ticket. My bad, I'll know better next time.

Adam's guitar cut-out at one point during Vicarious, was interesting to see how they just rolled with it. MJK made some silly noises, Justin looked confused, but after a min or so, they got Adam back up and rolling again.

Oh yeah, has it always been $40 for T-shirts?

WTF, over.

Yeah, sounds like nothing over the top special like it was made to seem. I don't think I read into it, when something is being called "the best ____ ever"...there should be something pretty significant about it. I'm sure it was still a great show, though.

[CLaybobMastadon]

fuck that!

it was good.

imo great but even if going to this show isn't as rare for you as it was me, still a good show ever all. were any of the intro's / jams different?
