Tool's first show since November 2002!

SETLIST --

01. Stinkfist
02. The Pot
03. Forty-six & 2
04. Jambi
05. Schism
06. Eon Blue Apocalypse
07. The Patient
08. Sober
09. Lateralus
10. Vicarious
11. Ænema


- maynard did in fact speak a lot more than usual tonight. clearly excited to have a (basically) hometown show after 3.5 years of no playing live. welcome us all with by calling us hippies and saying he could smell the patchouli.

- jambi, i have now gone up to 99% sure that the middle lyric is in fact the word "Jam-bi" pronounced "Jam-bye". man that song shreds live.

- hilarious when maynard (after 'the pot' i think) made a comment about how he knew that 'all you fuckers already downloaded it', and went on to beseech the crowd to buy it on monday. a LOT of people near me (towards the front) knew 'the pot' and 'jambi' well enough.

- some rust did show. justin blew a note or two on the intro to 'schism'; adam changed up some things, including playing some feedbacky hum through the middle quiet part of 'sober', and maynard managed to rearrange the lines of the first chorus in 'sober' and forget to come back in for the later chorus of 'the patient' ... but it was still a great show.

- lots of disappointed moshers tonight. the midsection of the set ("jambi, schism, eon, patient") was intense yet mellow (no really), and a lot of the angry folks in the crowd backed down and didn't ramp up again until "ænema". even during "sober" the crowd was sort of mild.

- all new visuals, for the most part. at long last, they actually played the entire videos through the respective songs, instead of just a loop of, say, five seconds from 'stinkfist' flipped around back and forth for the whole song.

- back to their old lineup, adam on the left, mjk in the back left, danny in the back right, and justin on the right.

- perhaps the biggest applause of the night was when they wheeled out danny's kit.

- "jambi" - the whole middle chunk was adam on a talkbox!!!


I wish I could see them in Chitown. Fuckin scalpers.

    Adam is on the crowd's left. Justin is opposite him and they are both kinda out in front. Maynard is in the back on a little extension off the drum riser. Danny is on the drum riser.

    Nice recap! This is why I like the 'other music' forum so much! As I was reading I wanted to know about the talkbox section from Jambi -- good to see you noted that...Looking forward to the Fox in two weeks for sure!

    Maybe we should start a talkbox thread...One of my favs is Black Label Society's Fire it Up. Saw them last summer on Ozzfest and they started their set with that song with the intro drawn out and extended. Really good stuff.

    I cannot get enough of Jambi...

    I'm not trying to dis here (actually never heard tool) but I have a question:

    Is 11 songs normal for them? Was it a really short set or is each song like 10 minutes long?

  • Last night at the Paramount was the best Tool show I've seen. Also the shortest. About 90-95 minute set, no encore. But they destroyed the place! Opened with Rosetta Stoned from the new record...holy shit. Other highlights for me was a mindbending version of The Patient from Lateralus, Forty Six&Two and Aenema as a closer. I honestly heard about 1 or 2 mistakes the whole night, Maynard was really on and the mix was really well done. Kudos to the sound guys last night, they've never sounded better to me. Danny Carey IS the best drummer in rock.

    Tool at the Paramount: would've been worth scalper prices but I got lucky with TM
    Can't Touch the Bottom:

  • Pretty good recording. Can't believe the shit got out so fast. Leave it to the TOOL fanatics.

    I was one of the many hopelessly hanging outside of the Paramount. There was a guy who had saw them at Coachella. He drove all the way up here (~1400 mi.) to see them. Thing was, he didn't have a ticket and ended up not seeing them. Feel sorry for the guy. I left after some dude dropped $420 for a single ticket 30 minutes into the concert.

    I was one of the fortunate that got tickets through TM.
    I actually considered selling them but I remembered a couple of years ago, PJ was playing Benaroya hall and I tried to get tickets. I was online and on the phone, my stepdaughter was in line at TM and on the phone, my wife was on the phone and a friend of ours was on the phone and we all got shut out. Then I jumped on eBay and saw what the scalpers were doing. I was pissed!
    Flash forward two years and I'm on the other end of the deal... NO SALE.

    The show on Tuesday night in Seattle was UN-FUCKING-REAL!
    Crystal Clear, Loud and as tight as a band gets.

    I love Rosetta Stoned... especially the first minute or so.

    The set list from 5/2 according to the Times was:

    Lost Keys
    Rosetta Stoned
    Stinkfist
    Fort Six And 2
    The Pot
    Jambi
    Schism
    Eon Blue Apocalypse
    The Patient
    Sober
    Lateralus
    Vicarious
    Aenima

    I was rocking too hard to remember myself :)

    I can't wait until they come back.

    I can't wait until 7/22 either!

    The lyric to that part is actually 'damn my eyes', not 'jam-bye'.
