"Holy fucking shit." Maynard summed it up as soon as he stepped onstage, in a deer hunter orange hoodie that did eventually come off for a bit. He was on last night.

For those who said the sound was muddled or mixed poorly - I don't really know what show you were at. I was in section 3, all the way on the edge (or in other words, at the Shrine of Adam). The sound was perfect.

The show was amazing. My first Tool show and it lived up to all my expectations. I've been waiting ten years for last night. Most people have covered a lot of it, but I have to say that the crowd was amazing (the overly intrusive, flashlight wielding, cigarette and camera seeking security people were fucking obnoxious, but the crowd was amazing). After 10,000 Days, the boys came up front and sat down on the raised platform where Maynard and Danny performed. They took a break and just chilled there (literally, it was cold). Spontaneously the lighters started going up, the crowd started getting louder. I was all the way up front, and looking back over those thousands of lighters - it was fucking incredible. For a couple of minutes the crowd roared, the lighters waved, and Justin held his up the whole time, too. It was a great moment.

"If there isn't going to be any permarital sex, then we need to wrap this up. I've got to get back to my Internet porn."

My ears are still ringing. The lesson? Get good seats. Fucking amazing.
