this was better than continental the night before cause the crowd around me was so cool and even though there were some mistakes in the songs, the music is still amazing

i was c1, row 17

wish they would play some of their older stuff but i really cant complain...show was amazing and i wish the spring would come already

You make a good point. This show is just very different than the old shows. I hate to be the guy that insists that everything in the old days was better (there's always guys like that for every band), but for Tool, I think it's actually true. Maynard seems to treat the music completely differently. For instance, I doubt anyone ever saw Maynard act like he was riding a bull during a Lateralus show. He used to be into the music. He used to be into the message. He now seems to act like it is all a big joke.

I still love this band and will still see them everytime they come anywhere close to me. However, I'm kind of holding on to things I saw in the past. That's why this show is worth $80. I've seen this band absolutely tear a hole in the audiences' ass. I just haven't seen it lately.
