No announcement yet. I'm expecting that given there's only a couple of weeks until the first show in Melbourne, there will either be a local act playing, or none at all.
Fucking dope man.....really good show and good crowd!! Can't wait for tonight's show, hoping for a change in the set but could settle for the same as above again
Got the feeling there were a few in attendance who were simply wanting to re-live their teenage years/90s, as quite a few around me only seemed to get up and in to it when the 2 "big sing-a-long hits" came at the end - bet they were pissed when they didnt hear Sober ...LOL
Very impressive all in all. I was right by the side of the stage, with perfect views of Justin. Few sound issues with MJK's vocals, especially during Pushit from where I was sitting, plus left out the end of Vicarious (apart from "much better you than I") but overall impressed by him, especially given recent health issues, etc - he even stuck around to say a few goodbyes at the end, the great enigmatic one
See yall tonight for round 2

I keep reading that they have encores in the set but it appears they haven't done 1 yet...so please for the love of sweet zombie Jesus scream for a encore if you are in attendance tonight...see you in the pit!!

Tool haven't really done an encore for over 10 years.
proof? ive seen tool more times than I can remember all the way back to 97 and they never once did an encore.
I'd love to see some proof as well. They've been doing the whole played 3/4 of the set, then short intermission, then 3-4 more songs since Lateralus. That doesn't really count as an encore.
Yeah, I don't think they've ever done a proper encore, but during one of the shows from the 98 Mini Summer tour they took a break after Aenima (which they had been closing with), Danny, Adam and Justin sat down on DC drum kit, drank some water, waved to the crowd, MJK walked off stage for a bit, then after 5 minutes or so they got up and shredded Opiate then went right into Flood.
^If they did that today after the shows they've put on recently, people would go crazy. Seriously, Opiate and Flood after the first Sydney gig last weekend would've been the greatest concert ever for me... oh well

I was in attendance at many of the 98' tour shows. They'd all do the same routine during that tour, sit down for awhile after Aenema...basically taking a break. Once in awhile Maynard would fill that break time by saying some funny shit....then say "Alright, We'll do another song.", but it wasn't really an encore per say..just a break in the set. They did that at all the TOOL headlining shows in 98' but not at Festival type gigs such as Ozzfest. Usually ended up playing Opiate into Flood, or Flood into Jerk-Off (extended version).
Let's all play nice now.

I don't remember Tool doing any "true" encores.
Only the above as-described "intermissions" and taking a short break on stage before one last song.
I'm not saying someone hasn't perceived an encore, but it didn't happen.
