:lol

Their songs are typicaly very long on the CD cuts but they get HUGE when played live. Tool does one of the best visual concerts ever though, and its awesome to watch. I thought the show tonight was pretty freaking sweet just based on the visuals alone.

maybe it's me but i thought it sucked, the bass was too loud and you couldn't even hear the vocals but i was sitting upper level. Biggest disappointment is that they didn't play any of their old stuff, or good stuff, or anything i like. Basically they played every song from the new album except the good songs (the pot, vicarious), which makes no sense to me. 2 hours and 1 of those hours was just keyboards and weird noises but they did have a great light and laser show :lol i waited 8 months for 8 songs :lol

Uh, they played Stinkfist, Schism, Lateralus and 46&2. Those aren't new songs. Actually I thought the way they ended with Lateralus was bad ass.

I do agree the vocal track was low, but I guess I've gotten used to that being the case at most rock concerts. This was my first AT&T center concert and I remembered why I hated going to arenas and large venues for concerts - the acoustics always blow.

Tool shows never leave you satisfied if you are wanting a specific song because they play so few per show.

Oh yeah, Danny had a Spurs jersey on. Bonus. :lol

dude, their new album sucks. i don't listen to it and i don't like but 2 songs off of it and it happens it's the 2 songs they don't play off that album. I paid to see Tool not a fucking laser light show with what sounded like whales or some shit. worst concert i've been too, i nearly fell asleep. anyone can hide behind lasers and a good light show, real bands don't need that to put on a good show.

Thats cool, just not your thing. It is different and thats one of the reasons I like it but its not something everyone is into.

It's too bad because Tool is one of my favorite bands, i just think they suck live now. I'm more of an old school Tool fan anyway and they didn't play a single song from undertow, if they would have just did an encore with sober i might have been happy. Instead i sat threw an hour of new material, lasers and noise for nothing :(

I had a lot more fun at the concert a few years ago. It was GA on the floor.
Tonight's show was visually the best I've ever seen. Fantastic. I was next to the ceiling in the back, and the plus on that was the vantage visually, however the sound was definitely lacking being that far away. As said earlier the vocals were too low, and I like my ribs to vibrate from the sound, which they didn't. But, it was an excellent show musically without a doubt. That was only my second show at ATT. MUSE from floor, about twenty yards from the stage sounded great. I won't go to another show at that venue without much better (= closer) seats.

Anyway, yeah...it fucking rocked.

Where were you sitting? They finished strong as hell.

I was in a lower level lux box on the left side... kind of had to turn my body the whole show to see, but still a great seat.

I was disappointed not to hear Prison Sex, but I'm over it.

Anyone know the name of that first "band" that opened (the crazy bassist and drummer)?

Dude that show was bad ass...if you don't think so then you're really not a Tool fan...you have to appreciate everything each band member can do with their perspective talents...visuals were great...yeah you could barely hear the vocals...but if you're a fan...you knew the damned lyrics anyway...and yeah...was it a Ginoboli jersey...I was way at the top so couldn't really make it out...

Did y'all realize the players who sat in last night were from King Crimson?

Verrrrrrrrrrrrrry cool.

The opening band was Kinski. (http://www.kinski.net/)

King Crimson was the first opening band then... Kinski was second and... well they blew.

This setlist bores me.....I wish they'd take out Schism, add Pushit, take out Vicarious, add Eulogy, take out wings for marie/10k days, add the ending triad on lateralus

Lateralus tour has still been the best one yet.

But Tool's stage show has just gotten better. The lasers are like twice as good as they were a year ago, and they did little seugeways between songs, they made some really eerie bizarre soundin shit.

Tool rocks :smokin

I caught Kinski's last three songs, their very last one was pretty tight i thought.

So, to everyone who went to the SA show--did it make the wait worth it?

Wasn't it a second make-up date?
Was the pit seated?

I saw tool during Lolapalooza in...98 i think it was...

I was on acid at the time, so i may have been jaded, but it was one of the absolute best live shows i had ever seen.

EDIT: It was 97 actually...

Main Stage: Orbital, Devo, The Prodigy, The Orb, Tool, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Tricky, KoЯn, James, Julian and Damian Marley and the Uprising Band, Eels, Failure

Side Stage: Summercamp, Artificial Joy Club, Jeremy Toback, Radish, Old 97's, Inch, Porno for Pyros, The Pugs, Lost Boyz, Agnes Gooch, Demolition Dollrods, Skeleton Key, Molly McGuire, Orbit

Although i dont remember The Orb or Orbital being there. i was fairly fried the whole time though, but that seems like something i would have remembered.

i do recall nearly loosing my mind in the massive jumping crowd during the prodigy's set. That was freakin insane, and kinda scarey.

I was at the Corpus Lolapalooza show... a great one because I got to see Tool and Failure on the same day, and Snoop Dogg put on a great show.

Sadly, Korn didn't make it to Corpus for some reason, but still a great show.

looks like a wasn't the only one disappointed in the show LINK (http://toolnavy.com/showthread.php?t=81901) seems like SA got fucked again, from the looks of it other cities got 3 or 4 more songs. But i guess i'm not a tool fan because i expect them to give us something more, not less then the other cities since they fucking cancelled on us TWICE.

You missed out on Vicarious and Aenima. Vicarious is cool if you haven't seen it before but man i wish they'd bust out older shit.

Aenima as usual brought the house down, but really, you didn't miss out on Lateralus which is by far the greatest tool song live by FAR, especially with Danny's 10 minute drum solos and what not

When the show was over Maynard said "Drive safely, try not to fuck a relative on your way out" :lol
