One of the few concerts I would leave the house for these days, doesn't look they will be near here.

Atlanta still a pretty long haul I guess.

On a side note, Primus Sucks.

Maybe they'll play Wynona's Big Brown Beaver 3-4 times. 😀

Nah, I bet they would be pretty entertaining live.

they played it last month, with the intro of "here's a romantic little diddy for you"
 
There's a new album coming early 2016. --also...fans.

We have a decent Tool tribute band that plays around here, and even that sells out (300-400 ppl) all the time.
 
Ridiculous IEM from one of the 2016 Tool shows. MJK/Adam are really low in the mix, but there's so much percussion/synth in here it's crazy. There are drum sounds that I have never heard while watching them live.

//edit - OMG guys MJK wrecks it in the middle of vicarious so bad it's hilarious.

That is the best recording from a live performance I've ever heard. There is some serious talent among Tool fans. I've never heard these song in this way before.

So... did someone hijack the IEM wireless frequencies? Holy shit. I want to see more of this, I never knew this was a thing! :awe:

Not really impressed with MJK's voice/recording at all, sounds like there is a crazy about of processing, ruining the sound, but perhaps that was the intention for the show's setup? It has sounded like that on plenty of studio recordings, but not for the entire song/album.

But the bass and drums... wow. 😱 I want more recordings like this solely for how much the bass and drums stand out. Danny is brilliant.


edit:
So it's not everything song that MJK's voice is not treated well, that appears to be the processing intended for specific songs. But otherwise, he may not have the most brilliant of live voice, and of course the mix isn't treating vocals all that well.

I'd love to see them live. I'd love to see them out my way one of these years. Oh, and a damn new album, howbout that, ya hear?

Hey, those lights look familiar from the show I was at.

The show were they didn't open the venue doors until after the scheduled time and it was all icy and frigid outside.

Tool sold many hoodies that night.
 
@Des

There's definitely a considerable amount of vocal processing in some songs but not all. He still sounds really good live but can't/won't hold the long screams anymore.

He sounds exceptional in Puscifer live, so the voice is still there he just doesn't max it out as much as he used to

On this recording grudge and schism sound amazing.

I missed the point in which they started selling tickets... Because... you know.. I do things in life... Instantly sold out of course, not that it matters since I didn't even think to look for them that night.

Could have paid scalpers but honestly don't want to contribute to a problem. It just fucking sucks that getting a ticket to a live concert is such a pain in the ass. Like pulling teeth.

It's really getting out of control. You figure the first few rows are for friends/family of the band and roadies and shit. After that, it's essentially a free for all. I've literally waited for the clock to strike 10AM, or whatever time tickets go on sale, put in for 'best available' tickets and have been told no matching results. Seconds after they go on sale. SECONDS. It's fucking stupid and I don't even try anymore because it just pisses me off. What I've been doing is waiting for THE DAY of the show I want to attend and buying e-tickets off StubHub. They usually drop below face value because of the time constraints until showtime. I've done this with many big acts - McCartney, Billy Joel, Roger Waters, etc. Hasn't failed yet...........

Awesome tip. Thanks I'll have to try that next time a decent band comes to town.

Through their website or through ticketmaster/live nation? I would imagine you're talking about the Amex site... which makes sense. Just like Chase has 'Chase preferred' seating, Amex probably has the same sort of thing. Those seats aren't made available via TM unless you actually choose 'Chase Preferred' and your CC is verified as Chase. Sometimes these tickets are even sold before tickets go on sale to the general public. This makes the seat selection even less at the venue for a regular buyer. I do have a Freedom CC, but I've never used it to get the preferred seating at any event. The Stubhub method is proved to be working thus far, so I'll stick to it. Scored floor seats for McCartney for about $50 under face value last year. The people selling these WANT to sell them or else they won't make any money at all. You really can't beat it.
 
I'll say this - to the dedicated fan there were no shortage of face value tickets for this tour, instant sell outs be damned.
