I did arrive at around 19.30 pm, the Razzmatazz concert room opened at 20pm.
There was a huge file and we did not managed to enter before 21.15pm
The room was quite small (and indeed overcrowded), cool to see them here.

There was regrettably no other band before TOOL, and they began their show at 21.45pm instead of 21.30pm.

I was in the back of the room, on the left side. Very good view since the scene is enough high.

To my mind the sound was quite weird, powerful but often bad balanced, several times we heard to much the bass that did covers all the other instruments (baaaaauuuumm baaauum).
The sound was heavy but not as heavy as in the Zenith, Paris show 5 years before.
The snare drums was not as "exhausting" as in the records.

There was as usual 4 "small" screens behind the scene.

Just a little part of Lost Keys was played, as well as the first minute of Intension (before Right In Two).
The beginning voice of Rosetta Stoned was cool.

The Forty Six & 2 drums solo was INSANE, better than the album !
And the end of the song was LOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUD !!!!!

I did not like the new accelerated part on Schism.

Right in Two was cool but could have been better, Adam missed a few.
Otherwise the mandala "solo" of Danny was very very nice.

I think Sober was the best song of the night, incredible !

The calm Lateralus part at the end was played by Justin on his knees.

Ćnema was ideal to finish the show, excellent !

One hour and a half of show was too short.

It was a great show, with Justin and Danny at their very best !!!!

This was my third TOOL show. It's still the best band I've ever seen playing live.

Next step : Paris au Zénith le 28 juin.
