The concert was quite amazing, definitely better than the show back in September at the Target Center. Partly due to the fact that the sound was just plain better in Xcel. The drum solo during the end of Lateralus that ended up being 5 minutes in itself was really cool and intresting. But someone besides Danny Carey was also playing a smaller set of drums during this. I am not sure who it was because of the seat I was in. My guese is that he is the drummer from the opening act Big Business. Is anyone not impressed with the opening bands for this show and the last one at Target Center? Isis and Big Business both were not at all enjoyable to me. Its like Tool either thinks its funny to make us listen to it, or that in comparison to that it makes them look even more amazing. I would usually say it was just me but the people next to me were openly booing Big Business while they were on stage. And the drums for Big Business was really the only thing you could hear coming from them. The lasers were nothing new, nearly the same stuff from the September show. They did use some interesting light effects during the "black and white.....red and yellow" segments in Lateralus. I was suprised to not hear The Pot,
Ænima, or Sober. Especially when it came to The Pot because it was one of the 3 better known songs off of 10,000 Days (the other two being Vicarious and Jambi.) Before Stinkfist a segment of (-) Ions was used as an intro which I thought was really cool. And last but not least Maynard talking about having to discontinue playing music for us because he had internet porn to get to. Over all the best concert that I have personally seen (out of the unbelievable 4 that I have been to.)
