So I realize this will sound a little lame. But I'm at my first Tool concert, and I can just feel that this is going to be the second most important musical experience in my life (after everything NIN).

I cried the first time I saw em
Thats only because you had a bad trip and ended up in the ER.
EDIT: speaking of, just saw this comment on 4theye and it’s pretty funny, regarding a cancelled show in the land of Kangaroos: “The funniest part about that was on a now defunct live Australian music forum the first comment under the cancelled show was 'I just dropped acid half an hour ago, wtf do I do now'”

Nah, I dint try that until 2006 and I had a great time. Fuckin Rosetta Stoned man, when they had the image mirrored from the screens projected on the floor of the stage itself.
Next concert I went to was Mastodon, and I took too much and had a TERRIBLE time! No er but Jesus it's hard to enjoy the music when all you can hear is voices all around you!
So, unfortunately, I was planning on going to tonight’s show and couldn’t make it happen.
But THEN they announced a bunch of reserve tickets on the floor and I couldn’t resist the bait. So I got myself a floor seat directly next to the mixing booth and HOLY SHIT I CANT BELIEVE I’M SEEING TOOL. Gonna try to catch Danny Carey’s autograph signing before the show, too. Fuck work, fuck credit card debt. This is my late birthday present, heh.

Random note:
Descending reminds me a lot of Spoiler: Right in Two
and Invincible reminds of mid-to-late 80's/early 90's Spoiler: Rush but I can't put my finger on which specific song or album. The guitar bit sound very similar to what Alex Lifeson was doing during that period and Maynard's vocals sound a bit (melodically) like how Geddy would sing in that period.
Only put the spoiler warning in case anyone wants to go into the studio version as newborn as possible.
EDIT: Random note 2: If these idiots dont put out studio version soon, Im going to end up juxtaposing these iphone recorded live versions to the studio versions in favor of the iphone recorded versions. ughhh.

Ooof you gotta make money though, concerts aren't cheap!

No shit! I'm ALWAYS on TicketBastard at 9:59 logged in and prepared, but the ONLY time I've ever had floor tickets for Tool is at a festival (which doesn't really count because it's GA and everyone is on the floor) and in 2010 (when they first started having chairs on the floor, so also doesn't quite count). I hope they announce a fall tour with a MN date and that I can get floor tickets. But I guess they're still doing seats in the pit, aren't they? I guess that ship has sailed...
depends what you mean by sell out. For the past 10 or so years, I have never seen a show not sell out via online ticket sales. Throughout that timeframe, there are many instances where scalpers lost a lot of money by not being able to move tickets at a profit as the show comes closer.
Don’t be “that guy” that brings a whole stack of CDs to an hour-long PACKED autograph signing. Just don’t.
Over the past decade there were two shows I went to that still had tickets for sale at the time of the show via the ticket site. Planet Hollywood in Vegas in 2010, and Little Rock a few years back. The Vegas show I nearly gave away two tickets- was sure it would've been a sell out so I snagged some better seats after the original purchase. Couldn't resell them on Stubhub basically asking for what I paid for them. Ended up selling them for about half of what I paid for right before the show outside the entrance. Tickets were still kinda/sorta cheap back then though, not your average $120 plus fees like the past 6 years or so. Couldn'r resist the Little Rock show- got floor seats basically right in the middle for under face from Stubhub and used airline miles and hotel points since I travel for work all the time.
If the albums show up on hdtracks as actual HD tracks and not just 16/44 flacs I'll be happy.
Maynard sounds pretty damned good here.
O hai, tool just nonchalantly dusts off a song not played in some 20 years and makes it sound like they never lost a beat.
God, I hope they play Part of Me at Chicago Open Air. He really does sound great in that video! I've LOVE to witness that. I know its a festival and their slot is only 80 minutes, but I hope they at least play Part of Me (or sweat), Intolerance, Invincible, and Descending. The others I've seen pretty much every time I've seen them, though I do LOVE Ænema, The Pot, Parabol/Parabola, Schism, Jambi, Forty-Six & 2, Vicarious, and Stinkfist. I'd also love to see them bring back H. or Prison Sex.
I was just coming to post that! That was NUTS! I didn’t even pay it any mind, assuming they’d played it more recently than 1998. In the moment, I was just happy to hear it. Holy shit, what a show. Any minor worries I may have had regarding the new material were immediately wiped away, too. These two new songs are SOLID as far as I’m concerned. Glad I waited to hear them in person! Grabbed a show print from the booth, too. So begins another (SIGNIFICANTLY MORE EXPENSIVE) chapter of print collecting, ugh.
I have a feeling we’ll have more dates later in the year/early 2020, and if so, I won’t be able to pass it up.
By the way - briefly got to meet Danny at the signing before the show! Really great dude, and seemed like he was genuinely friendly with every single person he met in line. Managed to get my 10,000 Days vinyl jacket signed, too. New life goal: complete the set with the other signatures, someday. Gonna be a little tricky.
So for 2019 it looks like we lost Opiate, Sweat, and Third Eye. We gained Part of Me, Invincible, and Descending (full)
If that is the case, I will mourn Opiate and it's epic extended middle section.
He sounded GREAT in KC! During St Louis (my first Tool concert) I was a bit high but I left there thinking hey he didn't do the Vicariously I part, so I was making it a point to watch for it in KC and he did it. Only after reading threads did I realize he usually doesn't do it anymore ever, and I got a super treat getting to hear it in KC (plus Part of Me).
Anyhow, yes seeing Tool was everything I imagined. I wish I could put it to words (alcohol and this dive bar in Lincoln NE isn't helping). I expect I'll have something perhaps more reflective to say at the end of Des Moines.

It's a pretty extreme level of surprise that there is literally listanable new material and it isn't awful like the last APC. I'm also surprised at how in line it sounds with the last two albumd
I saw the names of the new tracks, and so firmly believe they would never follow through that I assumed they were some remixes or b sides I just hadn't heard of
Anyone else going to the show in Lincoln tonight? I'll be there.
Vacation starts today!!
So Part of Me gets played in KC for the first time in 21 years and I missed out?!?
FUCK
