The Tool Page: Opinion - View Single Post - 2006/11/10 - Brussels, BEL

Brussels was one of the best indoor Tool shows that I have seen. (2nd after Groningen 2002). Out of six shows this year, this one tops with Roskilde.

Yesterday in Rotterdam I was in the first 10 rows and in Brussels I took a seat in the back which has a way better visual effect. (And no ass hole security with flash lights. Who are you to wave your finger, huh?)
Swamp Song was a very nice surprise! Maynard's voice was way better than in Rotterdam. Overall sound was better too.

Don't know if they had actual lamps from the floor up in the US, but in Brussels it was just a shiny white floor reflecting the lights from above.

Vorst Nationaal is a better venue than Ahoy anyway (especially concerning the wardrobe and sound quality, and more types of beer and food). We were back in the car 15 minutes afterwards and drove back 150 km in 1,5 hours, 140 km/h on the highway :)

A tip for those who are about to see them yet: take a seat upstairs in the back ! The visual effect is so much better then!
