    They're playing the Sabbath/Ozzy thing too with GnR and Rival Sons. Quite the lineup and I imagine the light show won't be there so Maynard will be at the front.

    Glad I didn’t pay 3k for this weekend… my brother & my nieces are going to be able to see the entire show for free if they’re so inclined. I DO wish I got a room in their wedding block, but that’s life.

    Do they have access to that area the whole weekend or will it just be a view from where they're staying?

    I think they have access right up to the fence there. They're going to have a pretty clear view if they go a little closer to the water. 

    My brother can slightly see the stage from his room and they've have zero problem hearing the entire show... my niece was texting me during the sound check earlier today.

    Oh wait is that the back of the stage?

    No, that's facing the stage... the barrier behind the umbrella is what separates the ticket holders from regular guests at the resort. There's a gate into the area just to the right of the person taking the picture. 

    Following the action on one of the FB pages, I guess the merchandise is a shit show, as usual... one would think for $3K / person they might just give everyone a poster, but nope... not these fuckers.

    Did anyone who went recall the merch quality and prices? Would love a pic of what was on sale.

    I can’t speak to the quality of this current merch (although some were complaining about the poster quality) - but some of the TITS specific items including the posters are available for pre-order on the website.

    When did they add Umphrey's McGee to the lineup?

    The reports I'm reading are not good. Man am I glad I didn't drop the dough on this.

    Given Brent just left Mastodon things could be hairy there too.

    Saw the merch post. I'm seeing them in Mexico City-anyone know what time doors open at Explanada de Estadio Azteca, if merch booths are outside the venue, best time to get merch etc?

    It was weird enough that Mastodon was closing this out and now they have a salty crowd and who knows what for a plan without Brent. In hindsight all the red flags were there that this was gonna be half-assed.

    from a reddit post:

    Tool plays an epic show in the Dominican Republic. Asking fans to fly to the DR for three nights of music with two nights of Tool as the headliner. The show costing an exorbitant amount hoping for a great two night of music. Tool planned to play an hour and a half each night. The first night did not disappoint. Many great songs that fans were dying to hear. The second night started with a surprise. As far as I know you could not purchase tickets to one night of the show. Meaning that everyone here was here for two nights hoping to see an epic no repeat set. They started the second evening with a repeat of the night before. Everyone disappointed about the repeat from the night before. Then Maynard asked who wasn’t here last night. No hands went up. They played a new song (Aenema) and then played repeat after repeat from the night before. We watched huge fans next to us walk out of the show. They only played an hour and mostly repeats from the first night. Why fly to the DR on a 3 night ticket to watch an hour of repeat songs from the night before? Not sure what to say but this was a very disappointing show. Especially for the cost. To pay to see a show and it turn out to be two of the same show was a major bummer. I will never pay to see them again which is very disappointing.

    Wow. I love this band’s music, but JFC they make it hard to be a fan.

    I guess I won't be hanging out with my buddy that went any time soon. Don't want to hear about THAT.
