first tool show ever :) kicked ass, most epic thing I've ever seen...
I was the dude with the afro and the Diamond Being alex grey shirt, sitting against the back wall on the floor most the time... some guy came sat down next to me for a bit and then was like "you ever drop acid and then like 20 minutes later you're at a tool show?" which was exactly what I was thinking.
setlist left out Intension teaser inbetween stinkfist and 46&2, I think, and the whole eyeball/spaceship sequence inbetween right in two and wings, and I heard the viginiti tres breathing in between 10k days and lateralus
sound quality was a little weak, it was loud as fuck, but hard to differentiate from the back, maynard's mike was too low, but he didn't seem very on, musically...

eh, if you've trained yourself to hear the lyrics on the CD, it wasn't too hard to pick them out

yeah they had a little trouble, and the laser show was off during vicarious, when it was trying to sync up with "why can't we just admit it"

um, I had a cell phone out like at the beginning of every other song, typing in the setlist...
The laser show was fucking awesome, just beautiful during wings, and I forget when it was that they upped the flicker speed to create a solid plane of light and then did the cloud cover with the smoke machines, I mean they could just make a holographic video screen above the crowd if they worked out the logistics
The videos explained all kinds of shit that never really clicked before.. schism's obviously about the mind-body split, I always thought it was from like a global perspective, which it may still be, anyway... the quick image clicking on rosetta stoned was awesome, the pyramid and the nine-planet screen straight out of circuit 8, and then saturn during the 12 against 5 section... lateralus was amazing, the extended drum solo, and the eyeball/double-helix visual
meh, until bonnaroo --
