Re: 2006/08/19 - Honolulu, HI - Blaisdell Concert Hall

Man, first of all, let me send out an Aloha to all you Tool fans here. I have just officially become a lurker. Liking that one!!

Well, i have been a Tool fan since Undertow, but somehow, have never seemed to have been able to catch them live. That is up until now, and i will not miss another Hawaii show they put on, period. Shoots, maybe even have to start some vacation plans to catch them again on the mainland, although Maynard said at the Saturday night show that they may be back in the New Year. One can hope.

First show was Friday night, Row 12, and man, what a show. From start to finish, i was just mesmerized. Truly a phenomenal performance in a great intimate venue. Mind you, i spent a good portion of the show, in anticipation of Saturday night, knowing i would be one of the lucky 26 people in the Front Row. If i didn't think i was sonically assaulted enough on Friday, and believe me, it was jolting, Saturday was just a completely different story.

Saturday night, front row, directly infront of Adam, man, i am still speechless. To be able to have such a great view of these guys, to see what goes into putting out such great sounds, is really undescribable. I know someone else mentioned Kirk slaughtering Sober, well, i don't completely agree, it was an okay performance on Friday, but man. let me tell you, Saturdays version was f@$kin off the richter. Remember that sonic assault i was talking about, well after the intro to Sober, i thought i was going to EXPLODE. And loving every second of it. And the sonic assault was literally just that, on the entire body, every sense unignored.

And so glad to have gotten Right in Two, and Opiate. Honestly think that Rosetta Stoned was my favorite, but it's hard to rate any part of the show as better than the other. Well thanks for the experience, and i will honestly never miss another show brought to this island.

Sure wish i had a camera with me though, man, the pics i coulda got wouldve been sick, but i had to settle for the occasional phone pic.

A hui hou
