"The band's stage positions were also somewhat
unconventional; Keenan actually stood behind the backline,
on a raised platform, in front of the flat-panel display. The
reason for this was actually a practical one. Tool's legendary
stage volume, and in particular Carey's drum kit, have always
caused problems with Keenan's vocal mic. Consequently,
Jones and Chancellor stood at the front of the stage, and
Carey was positioned on a second riser. This setup kept
bleed to an absolute minimum while preserving the volume
and fidelity that the band requires."
