17th tool show......it was TOOL, they were great, and I loved every minute of it. I sat Sec. 120, the first section off the floor catty corner from the stage. Sound was awesome, very loud, the band was tight. Aside from a sound issue that cut the volume for half of Dannys solo coming back from intermission (the whole middle of it) heard the first minute and the last minute, I thought they were flawless. I concur with what has been said this tour that Maynards vocals are turned up more so than in the past and he sounded great from my seat. I enjoyed that...The spotlight was one the musicians (minus Maynard) for the bulk of the evening. I was glad to hear No Quarter and Sweat live for the first time and was very pleased to hear The Grudge again. I think the highlights for the crowd seem to be Aenima, 46 & 2, and Stinkfist.

I will say I thought this was the least "visuals" show Ive seen from them in sometime. There were no real wow moments after seeing what came with Lateralus in '14. THe seemed to add a new piece of visual after each song...The videos for the songs played accompanied them in the background and outside that I thought it was rather generic feeling. Im not complaining because it seemed to bring more focus to the band. They are all so great together. I knew what setlist was coming and Im used to right at 90 minutes but it did feel short. When I walked out I thought we had been shorted Vicarious, but it wasnt on the list we got and shouldve been expected. No quarter didnt feel as long as it is on Salival and I thought Descending would last a bit longer. You never want it to end, but it did feel shorter than usual. They were relentless straight through to intermission, it was like getting on a ride and it took off with no time to catch your breath...so as I started...like a tool. Very happy to see them again, "I missed them so much." After the show ended Maynard gave a quick "peace" and was out quickly, didnt engage the other guys for a quick group hug. The others gave their usual wave goodbyes and hugged one another one on one, no group among this time.

Maynardisms: After No Quarter...Maynard: Boomer! Crowd: SOONER!!!!! Maynard: and thats how we fucking do Oklahoma!

Maynard: Theres only 2 things I can say about Oklahoma....1. My wife is from here....2. (Paraphrasing dont have it exact) if we started falling off in the ocean you all could just catch a tornado and move on to higher ground....what Im saying is yall are some tough motherfuckers, unlike LA........(launch into Aenima)

Just before Stinkfist...so tonight was a pretty good night....Arizona beat Green Bay in overtime, the Chiefs lost, but Im not sure if you all care...but Im glad we got to have this little talk....thank you goodnight....launched in to Stinkfist....

This show wasnt in my top 5, but its hard to get in there....1st time I seen them in 96 (maynard twerking and screaming his ass off), the contortionists on ropes tour show/ salival pushit version you lied show (think they may be one and the same), sitting dead center 2nd row floor with 12 friends in the same row (it was Justins birthday and he guzzled a beer between every song, mayanrd handed us (directly) a trashbag full of popcorn to celebrate, the small veteran memorial show in KC to launch 10000 days will all remain in infamy...yet I still left tonight WANTING MORE, no NEEDING IT....we need a new album bad....and I still might drive to KC on Wednesday to see them again lol. I hope everyone enjoys them over the coming days! Cheers everyone, thanks for reading!
