Hm. Well, for me anyway, it's not that hard to miss this one. I would have been all over a stand alone show, even with the same set list they are doing every night.
You're right. Would it kill them to play along and let everyone check out the last show of their short summer tour?
This isn't a recent development though. They're not doing it to be vindictive or spiteful to their fans. They decided on this early on in their career and I respect the decision. They simply don't want any 'official' live videos. They could easily do one and make millions off it but they have stuck to their guns on the path they have chosen. Any other band would've caved in by now.
I only missed it because I couldn't afford it. I really wanted to go because I haven't gone to that many shows this year, there's the possibility of a tasty new cover, they've been playing "Flood" (which I've never seen live), and I think it's entirely possible that this will be their last show ever. So I'm bummed I couldn't go, but I'm PISSED that Tool won't let KROQ webcast them. Do they think they're special?

Well, I hear ya on the first half of your post, except to say I am the exact opposite. I have laid down MAJOR coin on shows this year, including travelling to two different cities to see Tool twice on this current tour.
On the second half of your post I don't agree with the sentiment. See my post above yours. This is nothing new for Tool. They don't think they're 'special' in the area of not having themselves filmed live, it's just something they've decided to do and how they want the band respresented. It's not a recent development.

BTW, how ya doin Alex? Long time no see. Did not realize you haven't seen Flood live! I'd elaborate on how good it is but I ain't gonna rub it in! Definitely one of their best tunes on this tour.

I'm okay. I'd be doing a lot better if I could have gone to Epicenter.
But I did get to see Cursive five times this year, so I guess I can't complain too much . . . How have you been?

All good. Mostly work crap and a lot of travel going on for me. Still, getting in a few shows here and there. Saw Steely Dan last night do all of Aja (yes, I am old!). Great time and the band was awesome. Going to see Echo and the Bunnymen in Oct do all of Ocean Rain at Nokia Theater. Still bumming about Beastie Boys cancelling their tour- I had good seats for their show at the Hollywood Bowl, but what can ya do? I have a friend who can get me into the Pixies so I'll probably check them out again coming up.
Other than that, it's low key time. It's hard for me to miss a Tool show so close to home to be honest. But I have been out of town for the last 3 weeks and then I worked a 50 hour week at work this past week. It's just good to be home tonight talking with everyone here. :)

Good news! Although I am pretty burned out on Sober live, that's a nice tribute.
What do you mean "tribute" kind sir? Thinking Layne? Would be nice if he was mentioned tonight, this is a rough day for our history.

Is not today Layne's birthday? And Tool gets to bring Jerry up to guest on a song that is appropriate to Layne's legacy. Not sure I see the problem with it. We can't bring back the dead, but we can pay tribute to them.
