Yep, saw that. Can't wait, going to Greenville too. As far as Richmond being electric, you know how it goes. Not a peep from anyone, but the coliseum will be packed come 6/7/07.

[drums1427]

My wife & I will be there as well!!!

[joegard]

My buddies and I will be there! I had no idea until today that this was happening! I thought we had missed the chance to see the tour when they passed through DC. This is gonna be great!

[darkslayer96]

I was at DC in September, and I will be in richond 6/7/07

See ya there!

[drums1427]

That September show in DC was insane......it's going to be hard to beat.

[facelessDrone]

It just came up on Ticketmaster a little while ago. Obviously can't buy them until 10AM Saturday, but at least it's up there.

[darkslayer96]

Yee ha! Cant Wait for Richmond, It cant come soon enough, and yeah i know, the DC show was awesome, I had bleacher Seats AA, woot!,

from what i see the floor WILL BE GA!!!!!

Thats what i've been LONGING for!

[darkslayer96]

Anyone else doing some xtc this show?

[tim.mcguffin]

Can't frigging wait! I had to sell my DC Tickets and it sounds like I really missed out. Now my wife (who isn't even a fan of this type of music) said she'll come along. She'll be a fan on 6/7, I'm sure of it.

[FortySix&Two]

Ordered 2 tickets from the TA presale. Hopefully it's worth the gamble. I wish they would let me know if I'm really getting them, so I can at least hunt TM for decent tickets before all that's left is the fucking 400's like I got stuck in the last two arena shows.

I got one floor I'm not sure if I'm using. Depends on how I do with the Winston-Salem show. I'll let you know.

[darkslayer96]

Sorry to say I wont be attending Richmond...

Sorry guys

I will be attending the JUST ANNOUNCED BALTIMORE, MD SHOW ON THE 8th

Cya there!

[RaG3aH0liC]

Got floor tix. Now I'm wondering when the baltimore show tix will go on sale. Should be a good time.

[joegard]

I got tickets for 32L, should be a great time with good view. Now its time for me to dig around and find out what the current set list is.

[facelessDrone]

I'm in, like, 21U or something; I don't remember exactly because I looked for tickets seconds after they went on sale and still got stuck in the back of the damn arena and was too pissed off to care exactly what section/seat I got screwed with.

At least it wasn't as bad as paying $70 to see Metallica from the absolute very back of the arena (we were literally leaning against the back wall).

[tim.mcguffin]

Anybody have any info on the sound at the Coliseum? I'm in 32L which looks to be a pretty good spot.

[blair's man sausage]

no one here got presale? i slacked and got drunk friday night and forgot the 10pm deadline...still got tix sat. am though

[rintoot]

are you heading to the baltimore show too?

[Lee11]

man...i think i may've gotten screwed...i got tix around 10:30 a.m. sat and i got stuck in 322...can anyone comment on wether or not they think the sound will be o.k. from there?

[darkslayer96]

Anyone know if Richmond is an OPEN FLOOR event?

[Lee11]

Anyone know if Richmond is an OPEN FLOOR event?
yup richmond is open floor for general abmission

[tim.mcguffin]

I think you did look screwed..there are still LL seats available.

[research]

FYI....click on section to see view....

[ironchefchris]

i got floor tickets 3x and passed them up, got 17L which is exactly what i wanted. doesnt matter where ya sit here, you can see things pretty well. sound isnt terrible either. if your in the top top, its really not as bad as most other venues. also, the floor is chairless for you that like to disturb others.

[dmccuiston]

Been to the Coliseum for a bunch of shows, including the stop on the Lateralus tour. Tool is the ONLY band, I repeat ONLY band, that can overcome the unbelievably shitty acoustics in that place. Everything usually sounds like it is coming out of a tin can. Tool made it sound like at least it was coming out of a plastic bottle. Regardless, it is a fairly small venue with pretty good views from anywhere. The last time they were in Richmond was an amazing show (Sober opener)!! I'm down a little lower this time - I can't wait.

[matts4]

Saw the Tool show here a fue years ago was great. Had GA floor tickets wich kinda sucked. I like to watch the show instead of getting pushed around.

[tim.mcguffin]

Anybody have any ideas for pre-concert? I'm not super familiar with the downtown area...according to Google maps Penny Lane pub looks nearby. Sounds like an English atmosphere. Main street seems like a hike.

[jamessboogie]

i wanted to get floor tickets but those are all sold out so me and my bro are gonna be in 15L its kinda right next to the stage but i still wish i coulda gotten the general admission.

Penny Lane is a bit of a hike, but there really is nothing around the coliseum that I recall. Penny Lane is a nice pub, especially if you like European soccer, they always have a game on.

[Curbed Enthusiast]

I have two General Admission tickets that I'm looking to exhange for two reserved seats, preferably in the club/ lower levels. Anyone interested?

[jamessboogie]

hey anyone know whos opening up for them?

The venue operates in accordance to the City's curfew which is 11pm. To go longer the artist has to get special permission.

---


I'm pretty sure this 11 PM curfew for concerts is in all cities. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. TOOL knows this going into a show, so if they cut out Vicarious / Aenema / or any other song, it has already been planned out beforehand. It looks like for this tour, TOOL has decided to "jam" a bit more on stage, even if it means cutting out a song or two.

[wearethestories]

I'll be there.


Popping a friend's TOOL-cherry.

[facelessDrone]

Sounds perfect. An extended version of Lateralus is something that, after this tour, they may never play again. Something worth remembering and being able to say "Yeah, they played this special version of Lateralus at the show I went to, good stuff." Certainly worth losing a couple of overplayed singles (great songs, of course, but still a little played out).

edit: Looks like Corpus Christi got Trey and Pat as well, maybe they'll stick around until the 7th =D

[Curbed Enthusiast]

Does anyone know of any good hotels to stay at near the Coliseum that are around $150 or less?

[matts4]

One more week people!!! Im taking two fisrt timers. And this will be my brother and myselfs 6 show. I have to say the last time I saw Tool in richmond it wasnt my favorite. But thats not saying much, cause there all so friggin epic.

Anyway all Tool shows are good, the crowd and venue and seats are what can take away from the experience.

[facelessDrone]

Man, I hope the crowd is better than the last couple shows they played. Stupid screaming drunken assholes throwing stuff at the stage and shining lasers in Maynard's face kinda kills the mood a little.

[FortySix&Two]

Looks like my presale tickets are good to go! Nice. Can't wait for this show.. the first time I saw Tool was at this place (August of 2002)...hell, I was barely into the band when I saw them the first time. And I had shit seats up in the fucking rafters..this time I'll likely be somewhere on the floor, and really close. It'll be my 5th show..then I've got my sixth show the next night in Baltimore. Woo!

Also, I swear, I've found it hard to go to a show and have all the stars aligned for a near perfect experience..it's always been something for me. Shitty seats, annoying crowd surrounding me..parking issues , eh enough of that negativity. I'm ready for some TOOL.

I hope they play PUSHIT and Right in Two for these shows, so I get both.:D They have been playing Pushit quite a bit more..

[FortySix&Two]

Also, just checked tickemaster to see if they released any more good seats, and

IF YOU DON'T HAVE TICKETS YET, THERE ARE GA FLOOR TICKETS AVAILABLE

[lauralynn]

I have extra floor seats too, will sell them for less than ticketmaster just to get some of my money back. check my post on the tool hook-up or email me at [email protected]

[facelessDrone]

WTF? Flood? That's awesome. Who knows what they'll play tomorrow =D

[Novus_]

WTF? Flood? That's awesome. Who knows what they'll play tomorrow =D


I love not knowing.

[RaG3aH0liC]

FLOOOOD!

[FortySix&Two]

Flood ..fuck yeah. So we have an even chance between Right in Two, Pushit, and Flood now..(or ?) Damn now I don't know what I want to hear more..

[facelessDrone]

Or maybe something else random.

The Grudge? Eulogy? Some extended version of something? Who knows. I love it =D

[RaG3aH0liC]

flood or eulogy would be among the most righteous things imaginable. And yes, I did just use the word righteous. I have brought shame on my family for generations

[patbuchholz]

I'll be there tomorrow 1L h 16\17 - say HI
I seen them in DC lest year - great show - this will without doubt be a great show too. Cool bunch of people here - peace
drop be and say hi to me too: myspace.com\patbuchholz

--peace--

[ironchefchris]

any true richmonders here? just curious is all.

[Tarot]

Dunno if I qualify as a "true" Richmonder...I ain't from around here. But I have lived here a couple years. Taking my 13-year-old daughter tonight to her first Tool concert! Got great seats (or so I'm told) right next to the stage, 3L. I refused to give TicketBastard money after the icky seats I got for D.C. last fall, so I camped out the Saturday they went on sale.

I'll peek back here before I leave work tonight, see if anyone's put up a good idea for getting together beforehand. Capital Ale House (http://www.capitalalehouse.com/) might be good....

I'm in 3L as well row m seat 7

[Novus_]

Getting ready to drive the 3 hours to Richmond.

It's gonna be a great TOOL filled weekend.

I'll see everyone at the show!

[blair's man sausage]

yeah i can't fucking wait...leaving work at 2:30...capital alehouse sounds like a good place to pre party

[Tarot]

I'll be there with the adorable, curly-haired young 'un. Not sure what she's gonna wear, but I'll have on my grey Puscifer t-shirt and camo pants.

[research]

Just got back from G-Ville, very well behaved crowd. I hope we behave, but I am a little wary of the combination of Richmonders, beer and an open floor. From my experience, Maynard is a lot more receptive when the crowd minds its manners.

......This ground is not the rock I..........

[ironchefchris]

great show....PUSHIT was amazing...possibly extended, as was schism ,lateralus, and stinkfist. maynard was very appreciative of richmond i think. many thanks from him tonight and he mentioned how hard it is to play and focus and tonight was easy. melt banana or whatever is terrible. thanks richmond.

[research]

Jambi, Stinkfist (ext), 46/2, schism (2x bridge), Keys-Stoned, Pushit (w/ jammed ext), Wings, Lateralus, Vicarious. No cameras! Richmond mind their P's and Q's.

[blair's man sausage]

awesome show for sure, wish i was going to b-more
