I already have tickets for Dallas, and some friends of a friend are driving to San Antonio to see the band and they invited me to the show. Is it worth it to drive an extra 3 hours to go to San Antonio to (maybe) see the same setlist as in Dallas, then sleep 4~5 hours, since I have to meet with a friend in Dallas that's arriving at 9 am (he will go to the Dallas show with me). What's the opinion of the posters here that go to multiple shows?
I considered going to SA (before I was invited by these kind guys) but given that I already had tickets for a much better venue (Dallas) and I heard that the sound in AT&T is not very good, I opted for the Dallas choice. Now, the guys that will attend the show in SA are not exactly rich, so they will go for the 28 bucks tickets (which are not that bad, they are the back of the arena but you have a full view of the stage, as opposed to seeing them in the upper bowl but at an angle). I will certainly sit next to them.
Considering this...what's your veredict?

All I can say is that I'm going to both shows. I'll be completely happy, even if they play the exact same setlist both nights. But I'm betting there's a good chance that they would at least change one or two songs up considering they're playing back to back shows in the same state, knowing that people are going to be going to both. Also some people seem to believe that something "special" is going to take place for Dallas. Who knows, but if so that would indicate at least a small difference in the shows. Also think about this.. how often do you get to see Tool, especially two nights in a row? The road trip between Dallas and San Antonio is not bad at all, and if anything you could make a stop at 6th street in Austin.
