First up

This is the 10,000 days tour. You're going to hear a lot of songs from that record. Deal with it.

I've heard plenty of songs from Aenima and Lateralus on those tours.

Though I will admit I'd like a few suprises. Still yet to hear Right in Two.

I got to the Palms mid afternoon and picked up my ticket. There was a couple there arguing with the staff, obviously their tix weren't valid and they were pissed.

Gambled a bit and won some drinking and cab money. Very pleased. Everyone at the island bar before the show would of seen Blair drinking there.

Great show. Started out as the best Tool show I 've see so far. Great venue and great seats. Jambi was a cool opener. Adam talk box fucked up I guess on the solo and he switched to a foot pedal and it was still very cool. Adam had a few problems in the first three songs but it was all sorted eventually.

Up until schism was great. During the intro I decided I'd pull out my camera and take 1 picture for the memories. Without flash mind you. I got busted by a security dude and I was escorted out back. They never found the camra mind you and I never even got the shot. All I did was get out my camera. I guess I was made an example off as there were a whole bunch of people with cameras and cell phones taking picures. all respectful without flashes.

After some questioning I was thrown out ie shown the door at the rear of the casino, but it was never stated I couldn't come back in so I ran around to the front and re-entered the casino and the Pearl. I missed schism I was back in there for some of Rosetta Stoned.

All in all it wasn't too bad. I'd obviously prefer if it didn't happen but I've heard those songs before, all it did was interupt the magic.

I guess I'm a little spoilt as I've already seen Tool 3 times this year. Last night was number 4 and tonight will be the 5th times this year. 8 times all in all.

Even though I was seated. Fuck those that started the circle pit during Sober, Laterlus and Aenema. I'm sure there were other occassions too. Sober and Aenema didn't suprise me but for fuck's sake, Lateralus?

Stinkfist and Sober were probably the tightest renditions I've heard, they really done it for me.

Great show Can't wait for tonight,

Very cool for the guy in front of me at the end of the show in the bag check. A random guy gave him tickets to tonights show FOR FREE. It was his wife's Bday and he couldn't go.

My final thought for the show. Adam without shoes is a lot cooler than Adam with shoes.
