I think this is going to be a special concert for those of us who are going. Not only is it the smallest most intimate place they are playing at during this whole tour, it's also Maynard's home state. Maynard has said that playing the midwest is one of his favorite places to tour because it seems the fans really appreciate the music more. Also, this will be their first date playing back in the states from the Canada leg of the tour. Its going to be a magical evening...see you on the other side

I have seen Tool seven times, and three of them have been in Ohio. And usually before every concert, people seem to think that it's going to be special because Maynard is from Ohio. I can't really tell much difference between those shows and any others. They might be more "on" that night, but sorry guys, you're not going to hear Jimmy. Or anything else new (old). That said, I'm sure it will still be kickass.
And bogart I wasn't directing all of that towards you - your post just reminded me of the overhyping that seems to surround Ohio shows.
I'm going to wear my 10,000 tour shirt, and my trusty Michelob hat. My wifey will probably wear the brown shirt that has the tool defintion in the spiral on the back. So, if you see that combo of people, make sure you say hi.
i dont know what i will be wearing yet however me thinks black and a dress, pretty hard to miss. Ill be with a short bald indian| dark skinned chick who will most likey be wearing a white headwrap of some sorts.
We should definitely try to get something definitive down soon.
bogart----wished i knew OH more...first time over that way
well i am definitely down for an after show deal. I am staying at the Holiday Inn in Eastgate so i suppose that is nearby and not to out of the way. Will check with the lady to see if she will be down and ill get back to you guys. I miss meet ups.
Great information!
Can't wait!
Power to the People!
P.S.-Just cause M. is from Ohio, doesn't mean he gets all fluttery inside.............I wouldn't be proud of it.............even though things will change here.......it'll have a decent climate.

I've never been to PNC Pavilion but been to Riverbend a million times. It's an outdoor venue so those are usually best for acoustics. No walls or ceilings for the sound to bounce off of. So, it should sound fucking great.
Just called Riverbend box office and asked about the camera and tailgating policy. No tailgating allowed, and they said you can bring in a camera as long as it 'fits in a gentlemen's shirt pocket'. So, I guess that just means no huge digital SLR cameras or something? Sucks no tailgating though, they used to let you. I guess people got stupid about it and they had to cut it off.

holy hell..didn't know it was outdoors..that rocks..i have only seen tool outdoor at the PNC bank arts center and that shit was unforgettable...cool thanks cap!
No problem man. If you go to the link I posted on the previous page, there is pics of the venue on there. There is a roof over the place, I think, but it's pretty much all open.
Sounds good...ill be the guy there with the Lateralus shirt on

have you people not seen pcu? dont be that guy! but seriously, not to be a dick but why wear a shirt for the band youre going to see? if youre there, youre obviously a fan. it just seems like overkill to me. i see it more at tool shows and nin shows than any other band too. anywho, ill be the guy in the "LES CLAYPOOL FOR PRESIDENT" t shirt.

I'll be wearing my "MAYNARD KEENAN IS A BASTERD" T Shirt, home made with a sharpie, just for QT...
My lovely lady and I, Cincinnati natives, just returned from a wicked year in Los Angeles, seeking out the heart of the Tool beast, in which we saw Volto! 5 times, Pigmy Love Circus once, Puscifer once (IN Vegas bitch!!!!) , spoke with Adam and Alex Grey at a live Visionary Art painting downtown, went to ass holes wine bottle signing (love ya maynard!) and got to chat it up with Mr. Danny, Rynne and Mr. Blair out back at The 'Tater on more than one occasion, about Terence McKenna, Aleister Crowley, fusion jazz, prime camping spots, Jack Daniels, dimethyl-tryptamine and communication with inter dimensional beings. Even got Blair to scribble on a copy of IJYNX for us. All this in 12 calendar months, it was larger than life man, and it was a really nice look at what these guys bring to the table as individuals to make this thing tick!
So shit was making perfect sense coming home to the only midwest Tool date (outside of Lolla) in our front yard : )
We'd like to raise a glass high in the air and wish everyone a great fucking time, we are super excited and I dont care what anyone is saying about the set, its a treat to see these guys throw down. 13 time vet dating back to '97 Hara Arena : )
peace love and orgasms in between

They sure went didn't they? How many years in a row have they "gone"?...2064 days to be exact since Michigan beat Ohio State...pretty soon a rock band may name an album after them....ten thousand days in the big house is long enough, I'm goin home....

Haha
I got no clue. I can't stand either. I'm an SEC girl... :)
So not to be accused of going off topic.. I'm be there around 5. Were getting a room cause I don't feel like driving 2 hours home afterwards. We'll be staying on the KY side in Newport near NKU. I'll probably end up eating at Johnny rockets or some shit cause I'm taking my kid with me.

I know we will get the same setlist as everyone else has this tour, but as long as I get Maynard's standard "Round on the outside, high in the middle," it will be worth it. As always.

If I remember correctly, I think last tour, in 07, there was some discussion about that quote at the show in Cincy. I went to the Huntington show the night after and I remember people commenting on it.
I didn't know what it meant, but I never claimed to be from the midwest, oh.. sorry. I mean, OHIO! :)

How hard is it to figure out what that means? I know MJK said it at the Columbus show on the 10K Days tour, but I don't remember him saying it at the Cincinnati show.

He did say it at Columbus 10K Days tour, but he also said it in Cincy in '07 and in Cincy on the Lateralus tour. Actually in '07 I think he just said "Round on the outside" and let the crowd say HI in the middle.
BTW, I'll be amazed if you can't drink a few cocktails in the parking lots before the show. I'm sure they told you no tailgating, but I think that's just what they're supposed to say.
