Well this was the last show of this small tour and i am greatful to have been there among some great people. What can i say about the show other than it was another great performance from the guys.

First of all i'm glad MJK stuck it out and performed regardless of his injury. This was the first time this summer i was able to stand semi-close to the stage on ADAMS side (thank you LP fans for making room). I think it was one of the best shows they put on that i had a chance to see. Danny and Justin are beyond words and am always kicked in the soul watching them play.

The set was great but i always fall into this place when RS/Flood/Aenima & Lateralus are played.

I know everyone has complained about the setlist but as i take it is that it's a very interesting story they are telling from the first track until the lst song is played even maynard stripping down to almost nothing midway lateralus.

I've read at what people have thought the meanings of the songs including my own interpretation and the story comes full circle to me at least. I think alot of people haven't caught that due to just focusing on the songs and not remembering the meanings behind them. I will write my thoughts on that later.

The whole day was an amazing experience and i'm glad i was part of it. From the meetup to catching Wolfmother, AIC was just AMAZING!!! Miss you Layne but i'm glad the guys are still playing. We need these bands around to keep the B***S*** bands in check. On to LP though not a fan i still think it should've been LP then AIC followed by TOOL to end the night but that's just me.

I hope we don't have to wait too long for the next album but i'm sure it will be another masterpiece IMO.

So THANKS AGAIN to TOOL for the great show & a HUGE THANKS to the one and only Junior for the light show i'm pretty sure there was a bit more at this last one than the others so thanks for that Jr.

i got to see & talk to Blair for a bit and even snagged a pic (he doesn't like to smile said his girlfriend) see you at the VOLTO! shows.

I'll end this with a see you at the next one. So take care of yourselves and like MJK said "Look after each other"
