I've said it before: I'm no fan of doing outdoor shows.
It looks like only a couple of them, so far.
If all the stars line up, it's possible to have a good experience outdoors. I just find that to be rare.
Some people prefer the sound outdoors. Some people just prefer BEING outdoors.
Everyone has different criteria for what they want out of a show.
From my particular perspective, I don't like doing Tool shows outdoors.
Even if the show itself ends up being good, there are so many things that need to be done between load in and show time that go so much better with controlled atmosphere. Sunlight, rain, and wind tend to sh*t all over that. The video guys have a harder time with that than I do.
