notes from taper: This was my fourth time seeing Tool, the third time within about a year and the first time I have been really
really disappointed. Now, a few days and a cancellation later, it does not taste as bitter as it did that evening. Something was
wrong and you could feel it from the start of the set until the very end. The band was like a limping dog, Maynard never even
looked at the crowd once and the others were constantly looking at each other. MJK wasnt singing half of his lyrics and the other
half was sung with a thin, strung voice. No, its not my fault or the sound guys that his voice is think and sometimes quiet on the
recording. I do not think he had more power than what he showed that evening. To make matters worse the projector screens failed
as well during "Rosetta Stoned" and didnt come back until Lateralus. It was somehow bizarre seeing MJK stare at the boot screen of
the projector software while he himself needed a reboot so badly. The band messed up a few times as well, like a school band at the
end of "Rosetta Stoned" when they were totally off. "Schism" was also really sloppy. On the other hand "Flood" and the Jam before
had punch and drive and really pulled out this performance for me. The beatiful lighting and wonderful videos during Lateralus
showed us what it could have been. Two days later Tool canceled their appearence at the Frequency festival in Salzburg and it makes
perfect sense to me why they did it. The band needed a break desperately and here is the proof. However I wish they would tone down
their touring schedule to allow more quality and not all quantity. I think it is nice to listen to a not so nice gig from one of your
favorite bands. It makes you appreciate the ones where they ARE on top of their game that much more. the recording itself is great,
more's the pity ;) Enjoy.
