If you don't want too much detail quit reading now because I'm going to spill all the beans (or as much as I can about everything) TOTALLY AWESOME!

This was my first concert ever to the best band ever. I was twenty rows back thanks to my pre-sale tickets and what awesome seats they were! Like 200 ft. from the stage. Welp, my friend and I get there and sit down at our seats and wait. To the right of us was Pushin_Me (TA) and his lady friend. They were really cool to talk to. He's OGT so he got my friend and I more hyped up for the concert. Very wise man. To the left there was an empty seat that was soon filled by a hippy named Joe.
But Melt Banana played. The lead singer was a chick. "We are-a from-a Tokyo, Japan. This our First time tour-a with Tool. We like them too. We hang out with them every night." They were.....interesting. Very fast punk. Loud mousy yelling. Their guitarist REALLY needs to lay off the Whammy pedal and delay so much. They played circa 30 mins.

On to TOOL. Everyone gets on stage Maynard says "Carolina" Then they bust out Jambi. Totally Awesome. Flawless. "Ever heard of Hartsville(?) SC. I had a stepfather who lived there. If you see him, punch him in the nose please." Now Stinkfist, the extended version. I stomped on the hippy Joe's foot like 5 times so he moved. SORRY JOE. Forty-Six and Two now. Flawless. Straight view of Danny for solo thing. Words cannot describe so I'm not even going to try. Schism now. This too was extended. Really neat. Lost Keys now. Long. Rosetta Stoned. Really cool. Kind of like the album version better. The whole "overwhelmed as one would be" was moving. Yes, they played FLOOD. That is the only Tool song I don't listen to so I just stood there and kind of rocked out. But I had really no Idea what song it was. I had to ask Pushin_Me what the song was. He told me with a smile "yeah that was flood" Oh.

Break now. Everyone busted out lighters. My friend and I turned around to look at the arena and the whole place was lit up. REALLY COOL to see. Now they played Wings pt.1 At this point this LOUD self-proclaimed hippy behind me offered me a pipe. I declined. But thanks anyway dude. I don't remember his name. Then during Wings they busted out the green lasers. Cool. At the end of the song they busted out even more lasers. Really Cool. Oh, no cameras at all so I'm sure Maynard was not pissed about flash photography because there was none. Wings Pt. 2. Stunning. Now the highlight. Lateralus. Absolutely no words can describe the new extended version of Lateralus. Maynard said something like drummers name here From Melt Banana welcome" You've got to see this before you die. I mean.....If you go to a show you could just watch this and it would be all worth it if you don't watch anything else. Good God!

Maynard-"Well, IT's been a pleasure. We'd love to stick around but we've got some hotel porn to get back to.....priorities you know. Thank you very much for your hospitality." Then Vicarious. The crowd was WAY into this one. Killer though. The band is done. The crowd cheer was louder than the whole concert. Even louder than Melt Banana. Which is saying alot. But thanks everyone. Especially Shiloh and his lady-friend.
