That pretty much sums up the way I felt about it. The excellent moments did not overpower the not so excellent ones.

But if this was your first show or second show it would be a mind blower.

One thing that my friends said "Tool has reached a sort of plateau."

"Yeah Tool is fucking amazing. But there’s a big chunk of their fan base that think they’ve become thought provoking geniuses just from listening to them."
