WOW.

I missed all the lateralus touring so I've been jonesing for some tool for a while now.

they did not disappoint.

I believe the set was exactly the same as the one I saw listed for toronto and every song was fantastic.

I'd never heard schism done that way before and I really liked it. my buddy turned to me at the beginning and was like "are they playing it slower than normal?" and then the sped-up bridge hit and we understood.

wings/10,000 days was a tour de force. there is really nothing else to say about it.

rosetta stoned was crazy - I know the words (as much as anyone does) and I couldn't even keep up he was racing through it so fast.

what I really liked most about the show was the fact that, after the first couple songs, they didn't play ANYTHING under at least 6 or 7 minutes. It really let me get lost in each and every song.

our seats were upper deck, to the left of the stage (if your looking out from the stage) and I was worried they would suck but with the bird's eye view we got of the stage floor, they were actually great seats.

my neck hurts,my throat is raw and I'll be sore all day tomorrow. It must have been a good show ;)

Great show, as usual. Stage setup was pretty nice. I still prefer to see the boys at more intimate locations (ie State Theater in Detroit), but this is probably the best 'arena' show I've seen. I'm very glad they got Wings/10,000 Days hammered out in time for us to see it. We actually could sit down at that point, still see the full presentation and take it all in. Fantastic.

My ears are still ringing but that's a good thing. The show was loud but crystal clear. I've been going to Tool shows since '93 and dread the day they stop making music. Is there anyone else out there who can touch them? I don't think so.

great show....i was on the floor right next to the sound booth....i agree that some of the sound was a bit overpowering for the size of the venue

setlist is accurate....now i know why everyone says lateralus was the highlight of the show......totally fucking amazing....and i think that this would have been a great closer......i also agree that the band looked as though they wanted to maybe do 1 more song after the ovation they got when they finished aenima

the show was excellent.....did anyone see Maynard waving to the cops in the upper deck at the end of lateralus????

09-25-2006, 08:26 PM

wow. that's all there is to it.

was a little disappointed in the crowd...seems that not too many people were really gettin into the songs, i'm sure people around me thought i was nuts since they were sittin there like stumps..

i hear ya on this one....i thought the cleveland crowd was way to mellow.....songs like the pot and jambi seemed to be unknown to alot of fans at the show.....

after Rosetta Stoned the crowd really seemed to pick up though

I was in about the same area....Section 1, row E. Good show all around save the misstep on "Rosetta Stoned."

Looking forward to Pittsburgh.

Wake up...
...to the fact the Diebold (they make the voting machines) headquarters are right down the road from Akron-Canton airport where prezzy George W. Butcher no doubt had a visit to fulfill his destiny of being grade a asshole? Also on the same road as Diebold is Timken company, who funded the shit outta Bush's campaign and the CEO was rewarded with ambASSadorship in Germany.

Oh, wrong room, we're supposed to be talking about tool. {Puts a different kind of puppet stick back up ass}

Crack, Coke, Meth, Acid, Shrooms, and Pot are nothing compared to what TooL can stir up. Some kind of aether from a Joe Cell down undah. I'm still shaking but i'm probably just cold. To be honest i couldn't pay too much attention to the band on the stage, i was busy chasing a ghost around the arena. A highlight, before Isis came on I noticed a dude painted in white wearing blue shorts off stage right in the bleachers. Pretty nifty.

After the show fireworks could be heard being set off outside, nice. All in all the more interesting perks of the show were not the expected, but the unexpected results. People of different ages and networking joining to see this one band with something to share. Kinda religious and way fucking cooler than church if you ask me. It's hard to compete with something that defies definition. You could be deaf, blind and numb and still enjoy a show with tool.

I agree also about the crowd...LAME LAME LAME!!!!! A slight roar than nothing....Maynard says "Detorit was louder than that"....and it got intence...for a whole 30 SECONDS..then Maynard says...."Ok...Columbus was louder"...obviously hoping to instill alittle energy in the crowd....again...NOTHING but a wimper compared to other concerts I have seen. COME ON PEOPLE!!! THIS IS TOOL...and that's ALL the louder you could scream???@@@!!! I don't blame Maynard for his last comment..."Ok..we'll play more, but out of pity"......DAMN..what a smack in the face of Cleveland..and MAYNARD IS FROM HERE!!!! Ok...enough about the crowd.....the concert was awesome!!! I lloved the new all white stage. Maynard got off timing on Rosetta Stoned and there were a few mistakes here and there in other areas..but overall...FLAWLESS. Vocals were strong....but the sound..at times..was over bearing for the venue....loud is good..but sometimes it was so loud it made it muddy. Set list was:
Stinkfist
The Pot
Forty Six and two
Jambi
Schism
Lost Keys
Roseta Stoned
Wings/10,000
Lateralus
Vicarious
Aenema
As great as this concert was...I would have still loved to hear SOMETHING off of Undertow and OPIATE. Great time.....Im not sure which show I like better...Detroit in May ot this one....they were both INCREDIBLE!!!

Freakin amazing show, Isis actually was pretty damn sweet. Once tool hit the stage it was over. I like how they hid the lasers and cool stuff till the middle of the show. The lasers once they kicked on and the stage was the screen. I liked the cloud effect going through the lasers during wings/10,000 days. Very emotional and awsome song, The most unforgettable thing was at the end of 10,000 days every one had lit there lighters and it was just awsome, even justin had 2 lighters that he had to run and get cause his other one was not working. A very special tribute to maynards mom indeed. Wish they would of played right in two , It did look like they were ready for one more song, after the standing ovation. Overall one of the top Tool shows.

Things to mention, before Rosetta stoned maynard is crawlin around on stage was quite funny. When maynard said Detroit was louder and people were like OMG and then it was deafining loud. And the intro played before Isis was on was off of a hidden track on mushroomhead good stuff.

Alright i could type for hours but the show was awsome, i cant talk im so hoarse and my throat hurts like hell. So with that Dont forget your pen!

What a blast!
The show was top notch. I agree that the reverb drowned the labyrinthine at times, but it was tolerable. Nothing is perfect and that's what I love about live shows, especially TOOL.
We were in Section 5, Row 27 in front of the sound booth which was a spectacular position for the laser performance. Nevermind that I couldn't see the stage, I'm a little on the short side.

When the lights went out, we were trying to get back to our seats but ended up in the last row with an adorable couple who were standing on their chairs. I thought to join them since it didn't look like we would be able to get back into our own, and the seats next to them were not currently being occupied. That lasted only a short while. Security would tell us to get down, and we would. Then we'd get back up and down and up again until the people who bought the seats, next to the couple we happened upon, came back, when Security told us to move to our own seats. So we did, but at first there wasn't any room for us, so people had to shift around and around while we stood on our chairs and was absolutely forbidden from standing on them, not only because there were people behind us (that'd just be rude) but because of Security, who were actually pretty cool about smoking.
The CROWD was, in my very own fresh opinion, Wonderful. I loved looking around the venue at all the screwed up, happy fuckin' faces.

As this was my first experience with the full-fledged tour, having seen two of the warm up dates, I found it interesting that they did a 3 song encore (Lateralus, Vicarious, Aenema) compared to the warm ups shows' 2 song postscript (Vicarious, Aenema). It's not that important, really, I'm just splitting hairs. Wherever the band wants to take a break in their set is fine by me.

I do agree with the above posters, the Cleveland crowd was rather timid in their enthusiasm.

The show was amazing, as can only be expected. Unfortunately, as big of a fan as I am, it's only the second time I've seen them (and the first time was at Ozzfest '98). Maynard was having a hell of time and so was everyone there. The highlight to me was Wings 1 and 2 and the crowd's response that followed. Still, unsurprisingly, I saw a lot of people leave to take a leak and try to buy beer then.

As to everyone talking about the crowd being lethargic, read posts from other shows. Maynard says that everywhere to rile people up. He just wants to see how loud he can make us scream. They played the same set almost everywhere, despite cries for an encore. It really didn't matter. They ended the show at 11:00pm sharp.

If you still think the crowd sounded less than enthusiastic after that nugget of truth, consider this. When Tool fans go to a concert, they are very attentive and want to watch and study the band as they play. They know the songs, and still want to hear Maynard sing them. I believe that fans (like myself and people I was with) just wanted to take in the experience. You don't need to scream at the band and headbang and knock other people over like an asshole when you dance around to do that. It's strictly optional. There were no mosh pits and I'm sure the band was awful sorry for that.

I will see Tool again, as long as they play again. Until then, I'll just have to satisfy myself with Tool's Volcano labelmate, "Weird" Al.

I have been a fan ever since Undertow (after which I went back and bought Opiate, too), but due to college, finances and other stuff I have never been able to see these guys until tonight. What a show! The set list was like a highlight reel on SportsCenter - every single play (or in this case, song) was a masterpiece.

I've been reading up on the set lists for previous shows, and I had a really good feeling about tonight - I was not disappointed. I heard basically evrything I could have wanted to hear (although, let's face it - another twelve songs would have been awesome, too).

Speaking of which, I agree with other posters that it seems like the band might have wanted to bang out one more (and I wish it might have been "Right in Two" as someone else had mentioned), and I also agree with the guy who said "I did not want this concert to end".

Highlights for me were:

Stinkfist - The crowd went ballistic when Maynard appeared in his ATF shirt, cowboy hat, shades, and later revealed the Mohawk (nice!).

The Pot - I agree more people should have been screaming this one out, but those who knew it were going nuts. The song is a blistering indictment of judgmental hypocrites everywhere, and it demands to be sung LOUD!!!

Forty Six and Two - Did you ever notice how hard it is to bang your head at the end of this song? I think I hurt myself, but I don't care. Many of Tool's other songs are bad for the neck, too, but that's because these guys are musical geniuses with the way they use odd time signatures, often changing multiple times per song, and still they never miss a beat. Truly awesome.

Jambi - I hurt my neck even worse on this one, but it wasn't just the 9/8 beat - it's because this is the most face-melting song these guys do! Absolutely badass. I managed to get a short video of the squawk box solo (the sweetest part of this or any other Tool song, IMHO) before a narc snagged my camera batteries - too bad for him I had backups on my pocket (piss off, pigs!).

Schism - The "Schism on Crack" part was frigging sweet!

Lost Keys / Roseta Stoned - I couldn't understand why this song would make a good concert song. I'm happy to admit I was TOTALLY wrong. This was one of the best songs in the set! Maynard's voice pack was killer, and the breakneck speed of his lyrics was just sick!

Wings/10,000 Days - Lasers, lasers and more lasers. Masterful guitar work. Emotionally deep song. Simply awesome.

Lateralus - This song has deep and spiritual lyrics, but the way these dudes performed it tonight was like getting my teeth kicked in (and I liked it)!

Vicarious - The stage graphics were awesome (as with so many of the other songs). This really enhanced the atmosphere for this soaring, bonecrushing tune.

Aenema - An all-time Tool classic. I think I spent whatever good cells I had left in my larynx - I'm gonna be hoarse for days. Thanks, guys.

Adam, Danny, Justin & Maynard - thank you guys for an unforgettable night. You guys are geniuses and YOU FUCKING ROCK!!! Please come back soon.

I was on floor seats about 20 seats from the stage. Did anyone else think the sound was too loud for such a small arena? Especially some of the effects seemed too overpowering. Overall the performance was good, but hard to enjoy because it was impossible to hear the intricacies of the songs. There were several times where either Adam or Maynard was thrown off by a little bit, but it didn't have a large effect. What the hell was with that butcher who kept dicking around with shit on stage? I got the feeling tool wasn't really prepared. It would have been nice to hear a different set list than the same one heard in columbus. I'm still undecided about the show.

I agree with what you've said. I noticed many mistakes tonight. Missed cues, missed lyrics to name a few. The great thing about this band is the way they transition and fluently, tightly change. That was not there tonight . Also I think Chancellor's bass is too loud. It drowns out Keenen's vocs at times, and those certain intricacies that we all love so much. Also, could you tell when Justin or Maynard missed a cue? Adam's head would abruptly turn to his left, or back toward MJk. Some of Adam's solos were not up to par. (i.e. he ddin't have the sound ready to go at precisely the right time.) At times, Justin seemed to be in his own world and would not look up to make eye contact, and Adam looked over like "fuckin pay attention!". At times Keenan's mic was fine, and others it was way low or not clear enough. Can't decipher any words from the megaphone during Rosetta. Danny seemed great as usual. Wings was good. It's funny cause people don't know how to act from one song to the next. Hard driving riffs with heads banging, turns into Wings, which is Floydish in nature. I liked the additions to songs like 46+2 and Schism. I liked the instrumental leading into Vicarious. Laser's were cool. Especially when u look up and it's like there's a laser ceiling above you. Keenan's lean back cowboy dance was amusing during Jambi. I enjoyed the show even though I had all these complaints. I've seen them live alot. (4th time in '06 2nite) I expect more from these superb musicains, but they still are the best. Maybe their sound guy should read all these posts.

The only major mistake of Tool, this evening, was during Rosetta Stoned. I think MJK's alterations on the lyrics + timing are throwing them off a bit. However, the effect was rather interesting actually.

I asked the info booth what the capacity was; they stated 17,000. Tool had sold 9,000 tickets. Just a little FYI.

Soundcheck, from 5:35 - 6:15 was as follows (was heard from outside):

*Danny & Justin playing, Justin goes into a little bit of Flood
*Stinkfist (alternative guitar parts by Adam)
*Wings For Marie
*10,000 Days
*Right In Two (note: they did not perform this song this evening)
*Stinkfist (up to 2nd verse, then they stopped)

You don't need to scream at the band and headbang and knock other people over like an asshole when you dance around to do that.

I agree with what you said wholeheartedly. Some dumbfucks in front of me were trying to mosh up in the fucking seats. And they were the kind that left during Wings/10,000 Days to go get beer. *rolls eyes*
This was my 6th Tool show. I was also at the Columbus show, and although that show was more intense for me personally I thought the vocals at this one were more audible, and certain parts of this one were better. -->Jambi was badass, I love the firey visuals. Maynard looks amazing in front of those. And I love his cowboy hat dance thing where he bends backwards. Every Tool show I've been to the vocals have always been at least somewhat drowned out by the guitars. If only they would turn that down. However I could hear better at this one.
He said at the beginning "Not only Ohio, but Cleveland at that" or something, I'm not sure of the exact wording. (?) The ONLY thing it lacked was anything off of Opiate or Undertow! I like this tour better than the Lateralus tour though, except for the fact that on that tour I did get to hear Opiate, and Cold and Ugly. =) I like the stage set up better on this one, it's simpler but in a a good way, and I think it's easier to see everybody. Maynard said some of the words out of order during Aenema, and of course the minor screwup during Rosetta Stoned. That's ok though. Highlights were 46&2, the Pot, Lateralus and Aenema. Wow. And Rosetta Stoned. And Jambi. lol. and of course 10,000 Days is beautiful. Yeah, the whole set list is awesome. Both shows I've seen on this tour have been fucking amazing. I cannot wait to see them again!

I totally agree...i don't want to be in the middle of a pit when i'm watching Tool. It's all about the undistorted experience, at least for me.

What I meant was, I was surprised at the lack of energy...most of the people around me weren't even singing along, let alone showing appreciation at the end of a song. It was interesting to me. I saw a few people get into it during bigger songs like Lateralus and Aenima (rightly so) but that was it. I feel that when a band like Tool is putting their energy out for us, the least we can do as fans is show that we appreciate it when they're done.

But hey, the crowd is the crowd. Tool is what was more important, and I've already said how amazing that was. I don't know how I'm going to do my job today.

Isis - Played 1 song 4 times, or so it seems.

Volume - Another great show. I'll never, ever understand the logic behind having the house mix so overly loud. It's not just Tool. Lot's of bands have sound guys that mix everything so ridiculously loud, it really takes away from the show. I have seen Tool 16 times now, but this was the first time I remember such a blatantly loud mix. It's not like the vocals were louder than everything else, or the bass, drums or guitar. The entire mix was just painfully loud. I walked around the whole venue to see if I could find a sweet spot, but it sounded the same no matter where I stood. It's really too bad, because CSU is a oddly great sounding venue, when the sound is mixed properly. Oh well...

Tool - Not a flawless performance, but that's not what music is about. Every song was a highlight, except for Schism, which is just boring to hear at this point. The visuals were cool. The screens in the back just flashed a strange green for Stinkfist (intended?). For 'The Pot', the only screen behind the band that was on was the one directly behind Maynard. Again, I'm not sure if this was intended, or if the screens were just not working.

People complaining about the crowd's 'lack of enthusiasm': Get over it. If everyone was going apeshit and moshing, you'd be complaining about that, so...

Unfortunate - The only "missed vocal" that I noticed was in Aenima. Maynard sang "Don't just call me pessimist", then did not sing "Try and read between the lines". Oh well. Next time...

Overall, the performance was very tight. My only complaint was the overall volume of the house mix. Too loud...

I've seen Tool 5 times before and feel they really stepped up the live show. I was sitting to the left of the sound board and could hear and see everything perfect. I thought the sound was unbelievable, maybe a bit loud for some people's taste, but I like it that way. I could really feel the pulse of the bass and drums and I could make out all the little details too. Best sounding Tool show Ive ever been too.

Dont want to spoil anything for people who havent seen Tool this tour, but the visual experience really raised the bar on live concert experiences. Wings/10,000 took me to another world while I was listening to the song.

As far as the crowd goes, I think everyone has their own way of enjoying a show and should do so as long as their not ruining anyone elses experience. I saw them in Pitt, PA out of all places and there was some drunk guy in front of me who insisted on screeching ("Tool fucking Tool" and "Play Sober") once every minute on the minute. As much as I appreciated the fellows enthusiasm, IT would distract me when I was really getting into a particular song.
I also saw them in a moshpit and for some reason Tool didnt make me angry and I did not feel a need to throw elbows at my fellow concert goers when listening to Tool's little ditties. Personally I am awestruck for many songs and can only stand there and take it all in.

Opening band ISIS reminded me of neurosis. They where still great none the less.

Show was awesome! My ears are still ringing today. I was seated dead center about 25 rows back on the floor. I have been hearing that people on the floor were not able to see all the effects on the stage. Other than not being able to see the stage floor, everything else was stellar. The lasers during Wings were exceptional, and I find it hard to believe that there was a better view of them elsewhere. This was my 6th Tool show, and this was easily the best stage show. Performance was on par with all the others. Highlight songs of the night - Wings/10000 Days and Lateralus. The latter blew everyone away. I was somewhat disapointed that Maynard did not mention anything about being home. The majority of times I have seen him in Cleveland (w/ Tool or APC) he has mentioned it was nice to be home. Also no songs from Undertow or Opiate :( Can't wait for Pittsbugh tonight!

great show, I am pretty sure they switched up some of the lazers towards the end of the show since the columbus show....that or my seats were that much better I got to see more.

i got back at 5 am to oxford, 5 hours of sleep later and I can't talk right and my neck hurts.

it was a good night.

This was my 2nd Tool show. Well, 3rd, but I was too stupid to appreciate them at Lallapalooza a while back so I did not pay enough attention then. I saw them front row at the/ Theater in Detroit this past spring. WOW! My husband caught a pick...that's pretty damn cool! Anyway, I thought this CLeveland show was great! I, too, am one of the fans who just enjoys getting so lost in what Tool is offering that clapping, yelling, moshing, etc. is just too distracting. I like to sit in awe and stare, taking it all in so that the feelings you get from it last for days instead of just until you get home and your hearing returns. I noticed a few mishaps in some of the songs, as did my husband, but hey, they are his songs, so really how can he "mess them up?" And let's face it, even when Tool has an off day, they are still damn good! My only complaint would be that Maynard sang with his back to the crowd too much. It's like my husband said, he needs to be front and center...commanding the audience's attention, the way he did back in the day. That is where he should be!
*God, please continue to provide Tool with the ability to make music...forever*

Yeah, Tanna4, the whole
"in the back, in the dark" Maynard thing
is pretty silly. AND boring.

Enough about the crowd already. I feel that I showed plenty of gratitude by paying $65 for an upper level seat. Yes, I yelled and screamed at times but mostly I want to take it all in. I've been to many shows and afterwards had friends ask me "did you see this?" or "did you see that?". Most of the time I'd say no because I was too busy banging around or rocking out.

Everybody isn't 18 and angry anymore (that was 17 years ago for me!). Do what you will and have fun doing it. That's what it's all about.

I sure hope they come back through sometime on this tour!

Isis - Played 1 song 4 times, or so it seems.

haha, so I'm not the only one who thought that. anyone else think it weird to have 3 guitarists?

referring back to my previous post, i did enjoy myself, and tool did perform greatly. my big beef was that i couldn't get in to the music as i did in columbus, simply because the volume(mixing?) was just too damn loud. whether it was the band's fault or tech's, someone needs to prepare better for smaller venues. tool is not a band best enjoyed at the loudest volume setting (in my opinion). knowing that they were practicing Right in Two makes me wonder if we demanded another song if they would've played it.

p.s. if anyone here has seen them perform Reflection or Third Eye, is it as amazing as i think it would be?

1st Tool show, and...well...good show, I thought. Isis was very very tight, though their sound mix was a little disappointing and they only played 4 songs.

Tool, though, exceeded my expectations, aside from the lack of huge projections. I thought they did pretty much perfect on every song (aside from the band (not Maynard) messing up Rosetta Stoned). Although, I agree that some parts were too loud, namely RS and the interludes (which were otherwise cool).

I think that WfM/10k Days is NOT a good live song, though. It lost a bit of the emotion that came from good quality CD sound, and the effects (e.g. thunder noises) were too loud. But they tried their best.

Lateralus and Ænema rocked, definitely my favorite live songs that I saw.

I had seats 16 rows back on the floor, and they turned out to be aisle seats...so I stood in the left-middle aisle most of the time (frantically headbanging at certain points), if anyone cares.

Well worth the money.

Holy, fucking shit,
I loved the volume, loudest concert I have ever seen, and i am still recovering today (neck, throat, ears). I thought Maynard was really into the show, and he was pissed that the crowd didn't respond much to the newer songs like Rossetta and the Pot. Lateralus was by far the highlight of the night, and by the way, Danny is not human, I think he is an alien on steroids. I saw the guy painted white, thought that was cool. How did anyone have enough energy to go to Peabodies afterwards? I felt like someone had just kicked my ass, I could hardly function. Pittsburgh tonight, can't wait, might expire

Who takes their girlfreind to a Tool concert and hugs on her all night???????

not appropriate

I liked how after 10,000 Days everyone broke out their lighters for the five-minute break while the band chilled sitting in the middle of the stage...not something I'd expect to see at any other show (sitting on the stage, not the lighters).

Last night was my first Tool show ever. I can't believe how awesome it was. Lateralus was my favorite song they played, but wings/10,000 took the cake for the best lights. I was in awe of it.

[QUOTE=sixstring571;1433741]I would like to say that the crowd is not the only problem. How can you have a pit when there are chairs on the floor? It should have been open so we could slam!!!!! There was an old lady with a pretzel on the floor. Are you kidding? I was trying to incite the kids around me to cut the chair straps and toss em out!!!!! I felt like a caged animal in that shitty arena!!!!!!! Couldn't really get into it as I would have liked to. But the band itself was electrifying!!!!!!!!

One of the security guards told me it was the band who didn't want people moshing. I find that hard to believe. If you don't want it, don't play that type of music. But I get the feeling that was just them tryin to pawn the bad blood about it ,off on the band. Pretty fucked up ask me. A request for Maynard? No more fucking arenas!!!!!!!!!!! Speaking for myself I want to mosh!!!!!!!!!!!! That's the reason for going to shows for me!!!!!!!

FUCK YOU

Moshers are akin to scum. You want to mosh? You'd be happier at Godsmack concert. You're either a dumb kid or white trash, or both. We want to watch Tool perform, not have your dumb, pimple faced angst put unto us.

again, would be mosher, FUCK YOU, and i'm glad it dampered your experience.

***UPDATE***

Well, it's the following day, and my head still hurts a bit - mainly due to my sinuses aching from all the smoke from various sources =) - my ears are still ringing slightly, my neck feels like I slept standing on my head, and even my knees hurt (I'm not sure why, I guess I'm getting old).

Oh, and I have one more symptom I'd like to mention...a PERMA-GRIN!

I'm still stoked - great show, guys. Don't pay attention to the haters and / or nitpickers who get caught up on the details about which lyrics were switched around or what technical difficulties came up. Tool teaches us (among other things) to reach up and out, and enjoy the entire experience of the forest (life) without spending too much time dwelling on the details.

"Over-thinking, over-analyzing, separates the body from the mind..."

Tool are four of the most talented individuals in all of music - and I mean physically, mentally, creatively, spiritually, the whole package. These guys are friggin' musical Jedi! Mad props, boys - job well done.

Peace

P.S. - IMHO, the crown didn't suck, either. Maynard has been baiting all the crowds the same way all throughout this tour (read posts for other shows before you start hatin') - it's his way of stirring up the proverbial "pot", and he's just having fun. Maybe you had some lamers standing around your general vicinity, but hey, we can't all be Tool Army Generals from day one! And going back to the quote above, did anyone notice that the crowd IN GENERAL was enormously pleased to be there, and showing it in spades?!? I myself can hardly speak today!

To echo a comment already in this thread; thank god there was no moshing. I HATE mosh pits; totally distracts from the music. Tool is far more cereberal than your stereotypical numetal show. Not the venue for neanderthalism. If you want that kind of idiocy, go bang your head into a cement wall at a disturbed show.

Overall, I thought the show was spectacular. I had awful seats--section 222, 2nd to top row--but oh well, what can you do. I loved the new synthy intros, and the alterations to songs like stinkfist and schism. Breathed new life into those songs. The wings suite totally kicked my ass. Loved it. If I had to find something to complain about, it would be to the jackass behind me. Thanks for burning the back of my neck with your lighter. Go fuck yourself, you piece of shit. Why dont you just go kill yourself? just kidding.

Who takes their girlfreind to a Tool concert and hugs on her all night???????

not appropriate

Yeah....I brought a good friend of mine with me who got rather excited and emotional,

I would be standing there....than she would maul me all of the sudden....

Anyway....spectacular show....

I was really upset though that they didn't play Right In Two.....

When I had seen they were playing that at other places...I was really excited and hoped we would get the chance to hear it.....

That's my only complaint....

Someone had mentioned how Justin was off in his own world and Adam would look over as if to say "pay attention".....

Unfortunately....that's not how the pecking order of a band works....

Adam should actually be paying attention to Justin....Justin pays attention to Danny....

Obviously...you want the band to operate as a whole....but that's how you have to look at it to get the band to that point....Danny and Justin are the fundamental rythym section....there the ones driving the music.....

Perhaps Adam was only looking to Justin to suggest..."pay attention to Danny".....

Who knows....just an interesting analysis of the inner-workings of a band.....

Also....to discuss the crowd for a moment....

In my opinion....if you REALLY appreciate Tool....after about a half an hour you should barely be able to even stand up straight......If YOU REALLY get into it....you should barely be able to move or talk when it's all said and done.....

Absolutely amazing show....

Amazing....

This is the 3rd time I've seen Tool (the last being the Ænema tour). I was expecting a really tricked out performance like Ænema, but instead got a new subdued, austere white stage (I loved the stage hands in white lab coats). Took me a while to get used to it, but it fit Tool's new more psychedelic, less harsh sound. Lots of Wacky Tobacky where I was standing. I took my wife for the first time, and she isn't much of a Tool fan. She didn't know what to think, and said she was tripping from the music laser / laser light show combination. She didn't think she liked it until she realized she was supposed to trip out on the music.

On the moshing comment. If Tool plays the right setlist (say Hooker with a Penis, Part of Me, et. al.), moshing is way appropriate. However, for last night's setlist, moshing was definitely NOT appropriate. I think this is why the band choose seats on the floor. Moreover, if you don't want to mosh, every concert has assigned seats. Sit there (seriously!), just don't be so closed minded to condemn someone else's ideal concert experience. I honestly thought there was going to be moshing, hence why I purchased seats in the stands.

Highs:
Seeing Tool after almost 6 years. New stage + new sound experience = way different Tool experience. Tool sitting for a 5 min. "let's sit and chat in front of 7,000 people". Pure rock star.

Lows:
Reverend Maynard singing to the fucking wall, and back by the drums. Uhh dude turn around WE'RE OVER HERE! The people directly stage left of him got screwed because they probably couldn't see over the drumset.

Still sinking in:
The set and setlist. As I said, totally not the experience I was expecting, but Tool is nothing if not avant garde. My mind is still debating on what I saw last night. Definitely want to see Tool again.

Omg, everyone complains about something dont matter what it is, after all this is the internet. as far as maynard in the back. Simple really, Adam and justin up front on the 2 corners jammin out maynard next to danny , directly behind maynard is the screens , Where you get his siloueltte (however its spelled) the effects from that, it adds to the experience, he did have his keyboard which was back there too. But who cares the show was awsome, makes you think of pink floyd alot when there on stage, the heart and soul put in the music + the presentation. during the pot he left out some words so the crowd would sing it , for some reason the crowd wasnt on par. Mainly Many tool fans dont like the new album. Well tool dont care what people think. They jam out and you experience the music, Now as far as the post with a dude and his gf get over it. Nuff said....

My experience to this show was less than stellar. Nothing to do with anything except a lack of good directions. We drove down from Detroit and missed the first 1/2 of the show. I enjoyed the Palace/Detroit show so much Friday that I called my favorite tool buddy, Tim & his SO Lisa, and convinced them it was worth it. After getting lost we bought 2 good and 1 bogus ticket. Thank the lord for the generous security who took pity on me! We spent the whole second 1/2 of the show stage right, lower bowl, last row. Sounded a lot clearer than the detroit show. After all of that, was it worth it all? Getting home at 4am? Fuck yea it was worth it!

Can't wait for the 2nd leg! I hope they finially play Florida!

I thought the crowd was loud enough and just fine they way they were. Seemed like everyone was into it. It only sucked when they Boo'd Detroit! ;)

Flame me if you want, but Detroit WAS louder.

No...actually...every time I personally have seen Tool, they have had chairs on the floor. Maybe it has been different for others? I saw APC once, and they did not have chairs...but, some tried to start a pit and Maynard actually stopped the show to tell them to stop, saying something along the lines of being there to hear the music not beat the piss out of each other.

Works for me.

Yeah, jade. we drove home in silence except for my yapping about the show. Came home to smoke a bowl since we purposefully remained sober for the entire show. I listened to Rush this morning. But I haven't forgot what it felt like last night, i could feel the music coming out of my nostrils and pushing and pulling on my rib cage. No moshing was needed to achieve those sensations. Only TOOL

This was the second time seeing Tool live. I have seen A perfect Circle twice as well. There's nothing like a Tool show. Simply the best concerts I have ever attended, and I have attended my share. Iv'e been going to concerts since I was 11 and am now 29. Maynard is the man and shit, but what was up with the dig at Cleveland. "Ok we'll play more, but out of pure pity." Admittedly the crowd was a bit timid at times but come on it's his home town. Well I heard he's actually from some hick town. Now he lives in L.A. and he thinks he's hot shit. I was a little pissed for a minute or two. Also some DJ in Cleveland said a security guard stopped him from texting a buddy at the show because it might piss Maynard off. He sure is a moody little cuss. Either way show absolutely JAMMED. A couple of minor fuck ups but altogether what I have come to expect. The standing O at the end hopefully showed our appreciation.

Well of course it was a standing ovation...everyone stood the whole time anyway... :)

I'd have liked to stand for Isis, especially since this tall security guard was in my way, but no such luck, if I didn't want to piss everyone behind me off.

Did anyone see the guy in section 4 (my row) who (apparently) got thrown out for being rowdy and spilling beer on people? They really cracked down on behavior sometimes, although I did appreciate it. Especially when they cleared out everyone who moved up into the aisles, way away from their seats.

This was my seventh Tool show. I used to live in So. Cal so I was hooked ever since Lollapalooza #3. But this was my first show since Aenima tour and I was NOT disappointed. The show experience has changed a lot over the years. Not much moshing at shows these days which is fine by me.

The stage setup and lighting effects were super. I loved the white stage and wall. Is this their standard setup for this tour? I had seen what I thought were recent tour pics with 4 screens/backdrops onstage and was kind of expecting that. But the giant white setup was fabulous.

The sound was awesome from where I sat. I was dead center in the back upper level opposite the stage. Front row at that. I had nothing in my way so the visuals and sounds were crisp and clear. I wouldn't want to sit anywhere else. I also got some great pics.

Aenima fucking rocked the joint. At one point Maynard let the crowd sing the chorus and it was mindblowing to hear the place erupt with the lyrics.
If I had used my head, I would have got tix for Pittsburgh also because I can't wait to see them again.

I would have loved to hear Pushit but hey...I can wait until next time!

Yes they have done this more than once
They dont want you too go there to take your anger out on others

If you want to mosh go to slayer nothing against heavy bands i love the heavy shit too.

But tool wants you to listen to the music that is why they are called tool
A tool for your mind

P.S wheres the pics?

09-26-2006, 05:57 PM

I was in Floor 4, row 15 which was actually the first row in sec 4. Great show, my first TOOL show although I was with others that have seen more. I was a tiny bit disappointed in the visuals and the two people I was with agreed that the setup for Lateralus was much more intense. Lasers were awesome though. It was hard to see the visuals behind the stage though. The sound was fantastic I thought. Maynard's stage presence was great. Definately one of the best concerts I have been to.

The only other complaint was security I thought. There was tons and tons and I saw people being harassed for the smallest things. Its a rock concert people. I also had a bad seat when it came to that though, right next to where the bleachers hit the floor. I know they are there for out safety, but if I want to take a pic with my phone, or jump around a bit away from my seat, or smoke a cig or a joint....it would be nice to know I would not be harassed. Don't get me wrong, I know that all that stuff was not permitted and they were doing their jobs....but it took away from enjoying the concert as much as I could if you understand what I am saying. I loved the show, but I think it would have been much more enjoyable without the seats on the floor. I know I know, Im a complainer. But I did say it was probably top 2 if not the best performance I have ever seen by 1 band.

Forgot to add that 10,000 days definately was the best song played live at this show. I was kinda disappointed that they took off Sober from the setlist when they returned from Europe because it is one of my favorite songs and this was my first TOOL show. I WOULD NOT trade it for Sober after seeing it now though!

My first tool show, and it was amazing. the lights ad displays were all really awesome, especially with the fog involved (they did amazing stuff with the lasers in the air above the crowd that I bet was best visible from the side).

I just hope somebody recorded it so I can get that as a souvenire (in addition to my way-too-expensive tshirt).

MalloryKnox

09-26-2006, 09:22 PM

As far as everyone complaining about something, it doesn't mean the show wasn't still awesome. I posted earlier about some stuff but it doesn't make the show any less amazing. I am also in a trance and in another world during 10,000 Days and Lateralus.

To address someone's other question about if anyone had seen Third Eye or Reflection, I have not seen Third Eye but I have seen Reflection because they played it at all 4 shows I saw on the Lateralus tour. It was beautiful. I wanted to see Third Eye also though.

I wish they would change up the set list some too. At least one or 2 songs. Take out Schism and put in Opiate!!!

Oh, and I have seen Tool twice where they didn't have seats on the floor, they were on the Lateralus tour. I was on the floor and one of the times they opened with Cold and Ugly, it was sweet. I don't like to be on the floor if there are seats, there is no point, that's why I wasn't disappointed because I think I had close to perfect seats this time. I was on the left side if you are looking from the stage, the section closest to the stage without being completely on the side of it, and I could see everything perfectly, including the floor projections. And some of the lasers were really close to me, that looked cool.

Oh btw, dumbasses need to stop fighting on the message board, this is to post your opinion about the TOOL SHOW. Not to insult and bullshit about meeting up to fight.

Me and my friend drove from Tennessee (the bible belt) to see them perform and I say they did not let me down.

I heard the songs I wanted to hear, the performace was awsome and

P.S. we heard them pratice Right In Two before the concert (around 6pm) and a few other songs

I think I saw you. You were right behind me in like section two, two rows back in 12. One of you was wearing a blue shirt, and had long hair. One of you was from Kentucky, right? You talked to me and my girlfriend before the show...asked about an after party...

Did you guys go right back home or did you stay in Cleveland for the night?

Am I right, or are you someone else?

To address an earlier post, I was on the left of danny and the drum set didn't block Maynard. I could see him perfectly the whole time. I was in the section not directly to the side of the stage though, i was in 103. I don't know if the people in 102 had trouble.

So, as far as the end of Rosetta Stoned, does anybody know if it was intentionall when they played it the way they did? I understand that somebody either came in late or early (but I don't remember things clearly), but I'm talking about the way that Adam seemed to go back and forth between the two guitar parts. I actually liked that a lot, I thought it sounded cool.

That definitely looked like a case of the band gettling lost, then just playing the same riff until they figured out how to end the song. You could see Adam looking back at Danny. I can just imagine him thinking: "OK...how do we get out of this mess". They made it, though, as I would expect them to.

Instead of waiting until after "shit the bed" and then coming in, the music started too early into the next part, so Maynard finished the vocals anyway, but you could tell it was a mistake. I think that was the part when he was supposed to scream (towards the end) but couldn't because he finished the lines and by then it was too late because they were past that part.

some friends and i drove from cincinnati and arrived around 4 pm and proceeded to tailgate. for anyone that noticed, i was the guy wearing the orange bengals chad johnson jersey. i asked my friends how long they thought it would take before someone yelled at me...and i swear to god 3 seconds later a school bus pulls up and some 12 year old kid sticks his head out and yells, "hey take off the shirt you bitch-ass ho!" that was fuckin hilarious. but besides that no one said anything :)

i thought it was a tremendous concert. the only mess-up i noticed was the definite mis-timing in rosetta stoned. but that's hardly anything compared to the overwhelming power from the rest of the show. we were in section 106, most people around us were pretty cool...in reference to all the previous posts about the crowd...except for a couple of dumb bitches behind me who kept yelling to their friends how "fucked up," they were during wings and 10k days. but besides that everyone was cool. i even met a couple guys in the beer line who were tool virgins and had been waiting 10 years to see them live. i told them the wait would be well worth it and the only spoiler i gave them was stinkfist to open the show.

it was really cool when justin couldn't get his lighter to work, so he went to the side stage and brought back two that did. the band and crowd seemed to really get into it at this point - danny waiving his towel and all. everyone yelled when maynard said detroit was louder, but went they went apeshit when he said columbus was even louder. i would have to agree...columbus was louder.

great show, hope they come to cincy on the the next tour! WHO-DEY!

OK so two days later and I am still recovering from my first ever Tool show!!
Words cannot explain the emotions I felt as I saw Maynard walk out on that stage! And as everyone can agree... they did not let me down!! I cannot belive I waited this long to actually get to a Tool show!! The stage setup was awesome!! I have never seen screens and a floor like that!! They opened and closed with my two fave songs (who could ask for more!!) and all I can say is I was no where near wrong in making Tool my very first BIG concert. There music has helped me through so much BS in my life and now I can actually say I FELT every possible emotion/note/cord/beat in two+ hours. My eyes never left that stage.

Thank you Tool... for more than I could ever imagine. THANK YOU!!

*Counting down the days until they come my way again. I will never mmiss another Tool concert in my life!!)*

wow. that's all there is to it.

was a little disappointed in the crowd...seems that not too many people were really gettin into the songs, i'm sure people around me thought i was nuts since they were sittin there like stumps.

but, of course, tool was...well, tool. god help us if they stop making music, ever. i'm lost in a fog at the experience.

Wings for Marie? 10,000 Days? No words to describe how incredible that was.

As for every other song...damn. Keep it comin. I did NOT want this concert to end.

Hard to hear some of the more intricate parts to the songs...balance of sounds seemed off. But who am i to complain?

Thank you, Tool. Come back soon.

I was upper deck 221 row c And my hubby,a couple behind us 3 seats ove r,the guy next to me were the only ones into it!!
Some chic right behind me was like "are your legs tired yet?"
WHAT THE F***K ?!?! All I said was "Hell no...does your ass hurt you?"
Can you believe it? she sat throught he whole show complaining about how loud it was and how she could not see!! My hubby told her man " Dude next time leave ur beotch at home!!" He was in total agreement "Blind date from Hell!!" was all he said!!

Here's a little teaser clip of the last couple seconds of Aenema. I had very little space left on my xD card so this was all there was room for. *note to self - Get a bigger fucking storage card idiot*

First time seeing TooL, been a fan since 2000 when I first heard them. Seeing them was kind of a religious experience for me, I have an emotional connection with their music unlike any other.

I came out of that place elated, unfortunately my car was broken into, lost a cd player, all my tool cds(only things in that case that mattered), my backpack, a double bass pedal that was in my trunk(forgot about it) and got lost trying to get to my sister's place afterwards.

But I still got to see tool.

Maynard says .... COME ON PEOPLE!!! THIS IS TOOL...and that's ALL the louder you could scream???

What a buzzkill. MJK did that last time around when I saw them in Boston and it bummed me out instantly. The last thing you want, as an audience member, is to feel that the band you idolize somehow is disappointed in you. TONS of negative energy. MJK, I love your music, but why be such an ass to us, your fans?

As for moshing, some bands (They Might be Giants) actually refuse to play if they see people doing it. TooL doesn't do that, so it's second-guessing to say whether they're happy or unhappy wityh people moshing, right? As I see it, some people (like me) prefer to spend much of the concert sitting quietly, semi-meditating, and absorbing every sensation as deeply as possible. Other prefer to throw their entire physical self into the sound, and joing a collective mosh-organism. As long as the latter people respect the space of the former, I personally don't give a fuck what people do. Just respect me enough not to smash into me as I stand respectfully at my char.
