Could just barely hear Maynard and even then couldn't make out a single word he said/sang. Ugh.

Sounds like many of you had better audible experiences from where you were sitting and that's cool.
Don't think I can blame the band or crew for this one, I think it was the venue and our far off to the side position.

*Sigh*, 18th Tool show and I'd have to rank it right at the bottom at number 18 in terms of best to worst experiences (May of 2001 @ Detroit State Theater for Pre-Seminal 4 city mini tour was far and away #1).

I'll have to agree. I think the 100 section (I was two rows behind you) sounded awful and even had a poor angle of the stage screens and lights. I left during Schism (to relieve my full bladder and refill it with another beer) and I stood at the entryway for section 100 for the end of Schism. Sounded great :) I posted above detailing my experience and I have to agree it was location. I'm not hating on the band at all, but it just wasn't a good show for my daughter my friend and myself
