What a fantastic show, it's so bizzarre how people have been complaining about these shows. I understand that people want progress and want to see something new out of their favourite bands, but this setlist is pure gold. If TOOL were to put out a greatest hits album, it would probably be this setlist. The band actually left the stage today after AEnema. Totally bizzare, left this trancy danny noodle loop going for about 10 minutes before they came out and Lateralized. Why the guy from Tweak Bird needs to come out is absolutely beyond me but it's still fun to hear Danny rip it up, even though this is his third occasion to do so of the evening (Forty Six & 2 and Schism breakdown being the other two). The intermission was very akin to the lateralus noise intermission, I don't quite understand what's going on there but it's obvious touring is hitting maynard hard. I lost my voice just singing from the audience, so if he's doing that night after night, and he's over 40 I can understand how it's hard. He also threw his megaphone during stinkfist when it wasn't working, which was what caused him to miss the first two lines. After that the backup seemed to be working properly. More Later
