Whenever you travel check the ticket agencies to see if anything is on. Better yet obviously plan trips around events. I'm a Kiwi so it's our normal and I've seen a fair few gigs in both places. The rock gigs are a bit more intense due to scarcity. First time I saw Tool was in 2001 in Auckland and the crowd was literally a seething mass. But yeah, seeing a band you love in a foreign country you love is something special.

Think I missed my chance in Melbourne. At work, get a text from a friend getting 4 tickets sayi he can only afford to buy 3. Didn’t see the text as I was in class. Because I didn’t respond think I’ve missed out! Second show on sale I suppose?

It doesn't seem like there are a lot of Tool fans in LA. My optimism was restored this morning when, at my local dispensary, the dude checking ID's complimented me on my hoodie, and upon entry, I got to talking with a chick on staff who's a fan like my husband and I are. She told me she drove to Arizona in 2015 for a Halloween show.

Love finding kindred spirits!
Isn’t it great to say, “at my local dispensary.” I live in California but in the Central Valley so I can’t say that yet.
If you've never seen them, you really should. Shit's expensive now, but it seems that (relatively) reasonably priced tickets drop day of show if you're able to grab them.

Soon for you, I hope!
Yeah, as much as I love PJ (and my first show of theirs will always be unforgettable for a myriad of reasons), Tool is a different beast altogether. A beast in which I enjoy getting lost - and found, if that makes sense.

Go, LouJoe!
Listening to swamp song now, itd be incredible if we get that tonight but it really doesnt matter what they play as long as it's from one of their studio albums. Cant think of another band I've ever thought same.
2nd and last show this year tonight, 9th overall. Hoping for more next year!

Well, you get 2 older songs that loop in and replace something else and so far 2 newer songs that get replaced by newer.
I'm wondering where the back catalog of gems are at and why they don't bust them out?
Maynard chooses the sets and he goes on what he thinks he can and cannot sing. Apparently Eulogy is one of the hardest songs for him despite being one of their most beloved which is disappointing to fans. Sometimes though he'll feel on and belt out some screams he omits live. He can do them in a one off but at 55 night after night...

The octave in Eulogy is the hardest for him to do? Crazy. I'd think the screaming in Crawl Away would be.
Ticks & Leeches and The Grudge can't be a walk in the park to sing at age 55 either. I wouldn't be expecting to hear those songs live too often in the future.

Thank you. Me too! And I completely agree about Tool. PJ is my favorite but the top bands are a different beast live than each other. A Tool show is very different than a Pearl Jam show but both are can’t miss. Going to go deep with some edibles and smoke for my show in January. Can’t wait.
Side note. Downloaded Author and Punisher since he is opening for Tool at my Fresno show. Really excited to see this pulled off live.
Bring on the new songs and bring back Third Eye. Such a beast of a track. Hopefully we get 7empest on the next leg. Either way it’s going to be awesome.
Not sure if Eulogy is the hardest for him to sing-reckon Ticks. Heard someone brought Eulogy up at a q and a due to it being the favourite for a lot of people. They did The Grudge last year (one of my fave Tool songs) but no scream. Megaphones have been used in Vicarious, Hooker and others.
Ha my two favourite bands are Pearl Jam and Tool-can't separate them. I'll always be more emotionally invested in PJ as them and Nirvana were the first bands I really got into on my own-as well as them being more prolific and having the boots available-but segues aside Tool have a better hit ratio to me. A higher percentage of songs really captivate me and their live sets are amazing especially with the visuals. Still wish they had one more album out than what they do currently but hey life gets in the way.

Tool concert
Art classes
I chose art classes. I just spent the cost of a ticket on art material I need for classes
show was great wish there was a little more depth in the setlist as their back catalogue is pretty good.
