This Fairfax show was the 11th time I've seen them in concert since 1998. They were just as passionate and as genuine as I've ever seen them. And Maynard was definitely in a good mood and talkative. He only got upset when he was having trouble with his distortion walkie during Stinkfist (and a little trouble during Vicarious). Speaking of which, it was pretty odd to see Maynard use distortion throughout the entire Vicarious song. I went to 4 other 10,000 Days shows in 2006 and 2007 and never saw that. Interesting. He was also experimenting with his foot pedals throughout the song. Vicarious was a great closer with the new video being played on the screens, though. Gave me chills.

I was stage-left, right in front of Justin on the rail. It was great to see him getting into the music so much... and he was smiling and making eye contact with the crowd most of the time.

These 10,000 Days shows have been the best I've seen TOOL. And honestly, although Schism and 46&2 have been staples for years now and ones I probably would've liked switched up going into the concert, they were the songs I connected emotionally to the most during the show. Funny how that happens.

The rest of the earlier reviews covered the highlights.

I just can't wait to see our boys again in a couple years... with a new album to support!
