Re: 2006/11/13 - Florence, ITA - Mandela Forum

was here,i can confirm the setlist from junior

I came from an experience
not only a live show,a true experience
Sinchronized ensamble between vocals,music,images and colours

That's what are Tool performing live,now i've witnessed this
with my eyes and mind

I was totally out of my head just cause they do this little present to
me playing this evening right in my city,however i felt also a bit
anxious..after years spended listening to thier music,de-constructing
their sounds and lyrics,trying to anallize their words..to see them
all,two steps right from me,listening them performing live..i think
there'll be always the fear of becoming disillusioned,like when
you discoverd the trick behind the magic joke.

Instead..
Instead i've been simply "filled" with this
audio&visions experience..kidnapped mind and soul,i've tried
to see throught any single detail but i was also "bombed
down" by emotions,with half part of my brain singing along with
Maynard,the other side trying with my eyes to follow the images that
flowed along with the music itself (perfectly sinchronized) while my
hart was running wild cause i couldn't still realize that i was
attending a dream come true.

I must admit that during Rosetta Stoned i quite fall down to the
floor..Stendhal Sindrome's style..totallly kidnapped by the act.

My mouth opened wide when they have played 46+2,when Lateralus has
started,when all it's ended whit Aenima..to listen Maynard
performing live with a strangled whsiper AeAaAe...to see the
song's video appear on the backstage while green laser lights
filled the space above my head painting spirals everywhere..well..i
couldn't really feel my body,i was one and only with the
music..with everything..even better when all the mandela forum has
started to sing the refrain "it's a bullshit,three
rings,circus,side show of freaks" with Maynard.

I was literally crisscrossed by the music,the colors..a complete and
satisfing experience

The sound was good even if a little bit too loud (my hears still
rings),the audience amazed by the band

About Wings 1 & 2:After a small break,all the auditorium turned dark.On the big videos images of black clouds appear while Maynard started to play keyboards.
His performance on this song was very very intimistic,he was speaking,not singing..this during all the part I.In part II the music grew louder and louder,the images behind started to change in a very fast way and an image was repeated times to times: the ouroboros,the alchemic symbol of the circle fo life.
completely amazing

I have only one doubt: when i will see again something just only
comparable to this live act?It will take years to see the Tool again
back in Italy...and i doubt any other band will grant me anything
similar...only Tool could overcome Tool

some thoughts abouts our loved muscians

Justin simply blast off the audience..perfect style,magnificent sound
Danny:his drums two hours after the live still rumble trought the
mandela forum
Adam:just like in an album,not a single flaw,neither the smallest one
MJK:half naked with a gas mask on his face always "surfing"
during the performance,charismatic as only in dreams.

Thank you guys,i will bear this experience forever in my hart and mind
