His head is obviously in a different space now than it was during the 10K Days tour.
definitely noticed that. i did like that they almost did the "huddle" before lateralus, (all gather in front of dannys drums, like before lateralus in 2001/02, tonight minus justin who was on his knees in front of his rig). but yes, maynard left the stage at least 4 times, 1st before intermission (not for long), 2nd at intermission, 3rd to get nakedish during drum solo in lateralus, and then fourth at the end of the show to just get the fuck out of there (let us sing VICARIOUSLY ..... MUCH BETTER YOU THAN I) and was gone 12 seconds later. no group hug was surprising, that was a staple in 2001,2002,2006 and 2007. however, that being said, he was more animated that i think i have ever seen, and again, i was damn satisfied (even knowing the setlist, added plus of aenima; and minus wings and pushit (tucson 07)). hard to beat them, no matter what.
