Other than that, it was a regular Tool show... Great performances, amazing visuals and same old shitty setlist.

I was in section 114 mid way up and I thought the sound mix was actually pretty good. The is the sacrifice/risk you make when you get up front, and that is why I like to sit back slightly to get better sound. So, yes I could hear Maynard, especially the second half of the show.

I was probably one of the older persons at the show - early 40's - and made the trip from ottawa. I LOVE going to MTL for concerts - it is no secret that when the Bell Centre is full and the performance is great, it is simply the loudest venue in North America - U2 has confirmed this on their last two tours. I was surprised that the show was not sold out, however. I would have thought that Tool was exactly the sort of band that would do extremely well in MTL. Hamilton sold out in 30 minutes. Strange.

Great show, great band.
