Since I've had a day or two to process everything guess I'll make a review. My 9th show and as always it was great. Got to see a few songs I've never seen live. No quarter, the grudge, sweat, whatever the jam is that is a new song now is called. As other reviews have said it does seem the vocals are turned up compared to previous tours and it sounds lovely. Only sound glitch at all was during Danny's drum solo. Synth and everything worked at the beginning and then it was like the mics for the drums dropped out. I was sitting 2nd row dead center in the stands(just high enough to easily see over the entire floor crowd) you could still hear the drums when they weren't mic'd from there. That has to be so damn loud up close. They got the issue fixed a couple minutes into the solo. Was kinda upset not seeing lateralus because that song is just a spiritual experience in itself live. I think the "I'm praying for rain" part in aenema is taking over that spot for me though. That breakdown right there and the way the lighting hits on that part just makes you wanna tilt your head back raise your arms and just soak in the moment. Great show overall sure wish it was about 30-45min longer but you know what you're getting when you walk in if you've seen them before. Maynard was pretty talkative too and pretty animated. I don't know how you can perform wearing leather riot gear, helmet and all and not pass the fuck out. I was wearing a hoody and was hot. Try and remember what all Maynard said. He said "Boomer!" Crowd responded Sooner! And he said that's how we do it in fucking Oklahoma. Paraphrasing but something along the lines of when California is all fossil fuels and falls off the face of the earth you people in Oklahoma are gonna hitch a ride on a tornado straight to the beach. Also said "my wife's from Oklahoma, yes I said wife. All you cougars go back to your holes." Said Oklahomans are some tough motherfuckers. Told us Green Bay had just lost to Arizona right after coming back from internission. Told us Danny was sad the Chiefs lost and then something along the lines of if anybody have a shit about any of that cause he didn't. Well this seems like a rambling shit post now but the review department seems a little lacking this go round.
