Re: 2007/07/12 - Mansfield, MA - Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts

Serioiusly..WHY does Tool continue to play this shitty venue?!? It's by far one of the worst places to ever see a show live. The sound is absolutely horrible, unless of course your right up front. I dunno..it just bewilders me...

If your a real fan you know to check 'em out in Portland, ME at the Civic Center. The place is one of THE best larger venues in all of New England. It's about half the size of the Tweeter Center and the sound is to fucking kill for.

See ya'll in Maine...

Tool must like playing there. It's the only venue booked twice on different legs on this tour. They could have picked one of five or so other arenas in the area which would probably be pretty easy to book during the summer. I have a feeling we will see a couple of shows at one of these venues in the late fall: Worcester, Amherst, Providence, Boston.

Re: 2007/07/12 - Mansfield, MA - Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts

This show will possibly be the best show of my life aside from the September show at this venue. It'll be my 3rd Tool show, all of which have come on this tour. It'll be the second time I see them at the Tweeter Center.

I'm hoping that we will get something special in the setlist considering how much the crowd was into it last time around, but I'm not looking to complain no matter what we get. All of Tool's songs are amazing, so I don't know why alot of people on the review section complain about the set. On Semtember 29th, Rosetta Stoned, Wings/10,000 Days, The Pot, & 46 & 2 were definately highlights.

Tommorow will be the slowest day of my life aside from September 28th last year, when I was anxiously awaiting my first Tool show.

Re: 2007/07/12 - Mansfield, MA - Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts

I completely agree that this venue blows....Granted, I've seen Tool, Hanson and Elton John - I know what I'm talking about. Tool shows are a lot better in closed stadiums like The Garden.

Without trying to sound like a complete dick, people like you at shows drive me nuts. The band is there to put on the show they want, not try to please every individual that yells random shit at the stage.

Save your voices. The setlists are planned in advance of the shows, and if there is one band on earth that has shown that they won't be changing things up, it's TOOL. Besides, they won't be able to hear you - I promise. I'm amazed that they have added in this Kids In the Hall bit, and I'm looking forward to hearing that new part of the show. That should be enough for you too.

They played Flood in Quebec last night, I hope that means we're getting Right In Two tomorrow night!

Re: 2007/07/12 - Mansfield, MA - Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts

Canorus, They have played H more recently then you think. They were switching it up with 46/2 between nights on the lateralus tour. Chris V makes a great point... They have been playing the same set lists for nearly the entire tour, through all the legs of it. We saw the bulk of this show last september.
The performance is great, don't get me wrong, but it think it is about time they figure out how to operate more spontaneous visuals that spare them the room for far more improvisation and "change" in their live performance. Reward the fan. The soul reason you are able to do what you do. The Fan. Construct more diverse sets, and continuously move songs around. Open with Vicarious, play Grudge drop Prison Sex in the middle, follow with Pushit... End with 3rd Eye/Opiate...
Then do something completely DIFFERENT the next night, breaking out Sweat and watch people bug out. Even if it just means switching the set order up. They are performing artists, are they not. If I'm a painter...and I paint the same character for a year or two...eventually I would hope, my peers, colleagues, critics, all tell me, "that's done well, but it kind of sucks, it looks just like the last one, and the one before that, and the one before that....."
I do look forward to the show, I've been fortunate to see 15 performances across the country over the last 9 years. The emotion, thought, and concept of the music is second to none. I just think they're should be some dialogue/feedback/criticism regarding the live performance.

Re: 2007/07/12 - Mansfield, MA - Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts

yea. so i saw them at the Orpheum, Tweeter, Hartford, Bonnaroo, and now I'm seeing them again at the Tweeter and it'll be the same show. thank god i got to see them back in 01 or 02. Pushit is the one song i've never heard live that I've been dying to hear and they pretty much crushed my hopes of that. at least we'll all be home early right? :(

Well in that case, I hope you get 1,000 people chanting it for the whole show. It still won't impact the setlist, and then all the other fans will be on here Friday complaining that the crowd sucked at the show.

Spiral out you tard.

i hope no one does it. the band will be so annoyed. don't bother. they already know what they're gonna play (after all, they've been using the same setlist since 10,000 Days came out). dont fuck it up for everyone. you and your dumb chant might cause them to drop yet another song from the setlist.

Oh, thank you for posting this question! I have a shitty answering machine from the 80s and the first half of the message got cut off but I knew it was relevant to the show. I called ticketmaster and the Tweeter and they both thought I was nuts. I thought that the show was cancelled or something. So that's what it was about--a bridge being closed? Do you remember what bridge??

Re: 2007/07/12 - Mansfield, MA - Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts

if you are coming from north of mansfield (boston) then I don't think it affects you because you pretty much take i93 south onto i95 south. 495 is runs along next to tweeter center so I hope the bridge work isn't right there.

Re: 2007/07/12 - Mansfield, MA - Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts

or just leave early, and if you get there early, tailgaiting is always a good time. I believe the message said there is road work on 495 at a couple of places. i've been to a couple of shows there before, and there's always traffic on 495 prior to a show anyway, so it might be kind of bad.

my real reason for posting this is that I STILL have a ticket available for section 8, row R. my "tool friends" all live 400 miles away and work "real" jobs, and my quasi-tool friends are out of town or cancelled at the last minute.

i'm trying to get rid of the ticket primarily because I think it would be shame if there's an empty seat at the show. so make a reasonable offer, and it's yours.

I'd say 830pm is pushing it. So what if you have to catch 15 minutes of Big Business and then some down time. Better than missing Jambi!

Re: 2007/07/12 - Mansfield, MA - Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts

Thanks for the info on the bridge. I've been to this place a thousand times and I always forget what happens once you get off 93. Whatever--I'm excited so I'll just leave early. God, am I excited. Who's in section 4 with me??

As for the sound, I think it's pretty great wherever you sit--even if that may be the lawn. That's just my opinion. However, at the last show that Tool had here I couldn't hear a god damned thing Maynard was saying and I was pretty close. But I assume that was just the sound peoples' issue.

I've heard that the best place in tweeter is section 6 behind the soundboards, because, well obviously they listen from there haha. I'm in section 6 row N, yay.

Re: 2007/07/12 - Mansfield, MA - Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts

just take back roads to 140, shouldnt be a problem.

as far as the sound, i think its pretty good. i dont know why the fuck all of you are complaining. last summer it was probably the best sounding of the 3 shows i went to - mansfield, manchester, and hartford.

also the audio boot i have from the mansfield show is pretty nice.

see ya tonight sluts

Mansfield was fun but Manchester was the better show ... as always, I guess it depends on where you're standing.

Sounds like a bunch of clowns are going to this show....

Anyone BBQ'ing? I'm flying solo.

I have a copy of 9-29 too, and the one I have sounds amazing. I was in section 8 last year and had no problems with the sound, I don't really get what people complain about either. Of course if you're on the lawn it's not going to sound perfect.

Section 2 tonight - Lateralus might make me dump in my pants.

the view was way better in manchester. i was on the floor and ive never been so close to the band members in my life, but the sound was way overpowered.

i have video of the pot, jambi, and vicarious from the manchester show that im trying to synch up with some good audio. i plan on putting it up on you tube when i get a chance.

i also have all of rosetta stoned from mansfield on video. i synched it up with that audio source and its orgasmic.


and tail gating will be in full effect tonight once i get out of work.

Someone needs to step it up, lame doesn't even describe the tailgating at the 9/29 show.

My buddy left his grill on the porch, we had 2 lbs. of steak tips and no one was grilling anywhere. Weak. I guess I'm used to the Foxborough tailgate.

The energy at that Manchester show ... it almost looked like the band was a little overwhelmed in the begining. Danny beat the shit out of Aenima... I don't know how Justin sat through Wings.

Re: 2007/07/12 - Mansfield, MA - Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts

its funny how tool fans complain more than anyone else yet they still go show after show....

can't wait till tonight....

this is the third time ive seen them on this leg (saw em in colorado and kansas in may) and am very happy ill get to see them again tonight. even if it is the same exact set i saw in colorado (minus aenema) whatever... the show will still be sick and i wanna see this band as much as i can cause this could very well be their last tour.

i just started seeing tool on this tour cause i couldnt make it t o any of the 01-02 shows. this is the 6th time ive seen them on the 10,000 days tour and each show has been awesome in its own way. i dont care if ive seen pretty much the same set (a few diff songs here and there of course... was lucky enough to see sober, opiate, the patient, and right in two)... but whatever. same setlist.. im happy enough to see tool cause they ARE my fave band. now stop bitching guys
