^^I tend to disagree with the posts above about the show not being the same or as good as the Lateralus shows. I was at the Lateralus Brisbane gig (22/4/02) and I enjoyed last night much more. If anything, I left that night back in '02 slightly underwhelmed. Songs that night like Flood, The Grudge, Parabola, H and Reflection were unreal but I just think last night had so much energy in the performance. Granted, I would love to see them do the Disposition/Reflection/Triad thing again but with their current energy etc. Reflection that night 9 years ago was perfect. Seriously flawless.

Anyway, I can understand how you feel if Lateralus is your favourite. But last night with Third Eye, Jambi, Right In Two, You Lied, Schism, Lateralus, Aenema and Stinkfist just blew me away. Such solid stuff, particularly the extended versions and longer numbers. Intension was nice and I think Vicarious would be great if MJK sang the whole fucking thing (yes, I know why he doesn't but it still would be much better if he could nail a few more lines like the last one).

By the way, opening with Third Eye? Don't think anyone can top that...
