Setlist: Don't have it, but pretty much the same.

The sound at the E Center sucked and had to be screwing with the band somewhat. The energy sucked where I was at (section 120) and seemed to suck in most of the seated areas. The crowd really bothered me. Maynard said a few things but I couldn't understand a word. He held up some signs, and I think they were an 8 & a 9. I was straight, as usual. I took my neice and enjoyed seeing her see Tool for the first time, so that was good. No comparison to the Winston-Salem, NC show at all. So glad I got that one.

To Tool,
I grabbed hold of my ass but still didn't go anywhere. Sorry if it wasn't that good for you either. Don't play there again. I still think you are the greatest band out there and always appreciate your efforts. Hope you get some R & R and better crowds at the rest of the semi-west-coast shows. Come back to WS, NC. We'll take good care of yall there. Best to you all.

Dude, I was in 120, and I thought the energy was fantastic! There were a few people sitting down, but I still thought the concert was bad ass. This was my second TOOL concert, and definately, better than my first. The setlist is as follows:
1. Jambi
2. (-) Ions (Maynard greets Salt Lake City and "chats" with the crowd)
3. Stinkfist (extended)
4. Forty-Six & 2
5. Schism (extended, double-time)
6. Rosetta Stoned (No Lost Keys)
7. Flood
-Intermission (Laser show with the new "Vicarious" shot)-
8. Wings for Marie pt. 1
9. 10,000 Days Wings pt. 2
10. Lateralus (drum-off w/TransAm drummer)
11. Vicarious

I will agree with the previous quotes, at times it was hard to hear Maynard, but it was not the venue's fault. I saw TOOL the last time they came to the E-Center, and the sound quality was great. From Schism on, the sound quality did get a lot better.
One cool thing that did happen to my friends and I is that when we arrived at the show at 5 'o clock, we immediately ran in to buy our merchandise. As soon as we walked in, we heard a lot of reverb coming from the other side of the walls. I thought that these were just "techies" tuning TOOL's stuff, but then I heard them start to play Stinkfist!!! We got to hear Stinkfist before the show even started, and there was only a handful of lucky witnesses there. I cannot believe how great Maynard sounds live!!! As always, the light show, and the band, was AMAZING!!!
