The Tool Page: Opinion - View Single Post - 2006/06/29 - Werchter, BEL

I'm sorry to say but for me the show was a bit disappointing. Seeing Tool perform at a commercial festival like this (black eyed peas headlined ... deuh, Tool played at 19.15 in broad daylight ...) is just a different experience (different crowd, different setting). They had to squeze everything in one hour, so very short intro and few songs. No Opiate or Right in two :-(
No projections behind the band, only big fixed festival-screens on both sides of the podium.
I can't exactly point out what it was but for me that special spark wasn't there.

One strang thing at the end of the show. Justin rushed off the podium immediately after Ænema ... The bathroom ? Who knows ... No friendly get-together-greeting-of-the-crowd, like they normally do.

Maynard didn't say a word about not smoking. So it's definately for his voice ... venues and smoking ... augh
