Hate to bitch but...this was the worst sounding Tool show I have been too. It wasn't really bad but that arena had some weird echo to it or something was a little too loud that caused this weird muffled distortion. I guess it just sounded like someone was trying to crank some killer music through cheap speakers.

I agree with the above posts when they mention MJK was next to impossible to hear. Even during Wings, I could barely make out his vocals. First time I have seen Right In Two and it was pretty killer....the ending of that song just kicks ass. The extended drum solo in Lateralus and having 2 drummers for the finale of that song just blew the place up. There was so much percussion hitting me I was in awe. I hope they come back to Columbus for 2 shows next tour because the sound and experience was just 2x better at Nationwide Arena than this show.

Now tomention the ridiculous lighting issue with the main score board monstrosity and the upper right billboards. For some jackass to accidentaly turn that shit on in the middle of a laser light show musical extravaganza was one of the most ridiculous things I have seen at a show. gggrrrrrr usbank arena....

OK I am done bitching....hehehe.... great to see Tool live again either way. I hope the DTE Ampitheatre has better sound.
Oh yeah! WHAT THE FUCK WAS UP WITH THE LIGHTS?! They came on like twice towards the end of the show! Talk about buzzkill. I guess some fucknut saw someone smoking and decided to let everyone see. It had the same effect as an alarm clock in the morning....TURN IT OFF.

Couldn't agree with you more about Columbus, though. Nationwide Arena is worth the drive from Cincy. UsStank Arena is pretty sad.

And yet Tool kicked ass there. Funny how that works.
