Re: 2007/04/27 - Las Vegas, NV - The Pearl
^ true, but what band plays the exact same 12 songs for two years straight when they have 4 studio albums, one EP, and a live CD with rare versions? not many.
I don't think its unreasonable to think that they should change up the set list. The idea of the concert is to go and see Tool, this is true. Yes, it is the 10,000 Days tour, I think its possible to change up the set list and still include The Pot, Vicarious, Jambi, Wings, Rosetta, and Right in Two. But certain songs need to be retired. Sober, Schism, Aenema (i'm tired of this song), Forty-Six & Two - they can be alternated for somethign else. it's not unreasonable to ask for a different set list to make things exciting.
The Patient, Parabola, The Grudge, Pushit, Eulogy, 4 Degrees, Opiate, Jerk-Off, Undertow, - its quite possible to omit one of the songs above and put in one of these. When I saw them in 2002, it was one of the best setlists I'd seen. It was diverse, but they still managed to include the Lateralus material which was great. With the exception of Ticks & Leeches, the entire CD was represented well, with gems like 4 Degrees, and H. still present.
I'm not asking for an Aenima tour. I'm not asking for them to play No Quarter. They could play songs that I'm not all that big on. They could play Hooker w/ A Penis, and Bottom, which are not bad songs, just not ones that I'm big on - but at least something different than Forty-Six & Two and Sober - two songs I'm tired of hearing. When I saw the Deftones, and Chino (who is also losing his voice) played, he mixed it up. there was material off of every album, with a diverse set list. Its possible, Tool just doesn't want to do it.
I'm seeing them on the 11th, and while I wouldn't miss it for the world, and I'll have a great time, if its the same set list, I'll be slightly disappointed.
