Re: 2006/05/12 - Minneapolis, MN - Orpheum Theatre

This was my first time seeing tool.

I was near the left front/middle of the balcony.

Molassy summed it up nicely here:

The entire theater echoed a muddy low end that was grossly indistinguishable as music.
How has noone else mentioned this? This "echoing muddy low end" was drowning out alot of the music.

Fans (like me) spent a minimum of $60-70 a ticket for this show...and they can't get the fucking sound right?

Agreed, it still effing rocked.

Honestly though... I'm not sure if I am going to see them again.

Of course I'll still pick up all their albums, etc because I LOVE their music, but I don't think I'll be buying another ticket to a live show. Although the band's performance rocked, this is inexcusable in my mind... and for my money.

I'll admit I've never seen a huge rock band in a small club like this, so maybe that's just how it is going to sound. ...I'd like to hear some opinions from either more sound people, or people that have seen tool a number of times in the past.
