notes: No eq, just raised the volume a little. Friend in San Diego didn't have anyone to go see Tool and convinced me to take a long weekend and see Primus and Tool two nights in a row after the second show was announced. 19th Tool show. After seeing San Francisco's setlist, I was looking forward to the possibility of hearing Sweat, another song I'd never seen live. I got very worried when they played Parabol and continued plowing through the exact same set as the night before. (for those of you that might not remember, I got burned in 2007 at the 12/13 and 12/14 shows in Las Vegas getting the exact same set two nights in a row and recording equipment issues that just left a bad taste in my mouth). Drum Solo seemed better than the night before and then they played Sweat, the night was saved. Guess my standards have been lowered such that one song made the show that much more enjoyable. We were going to just go to night 2 but bought tickets to night 1 about an hour before we headed to the show. I'm glad we went both nights though, only songs I didn't care to hear were Schism and Vicarious. Interlude in Opiate is really growing on me, just wish it was it's own song and not in the middle of a powerful, driving song. Crowd was louder around us this night, damn assigned seats. Again, the sound in the venue was pretty damn good for a small basketball arena, the overall mix was well balanced, and the whole band put on a great show. We were sitting 20 rows up on the right side right as the seats started to arc around to the back of the venue, somewhat in line with the main stacks facing the crowd, almost mirror from the night before. Thanks again to Jason for dragging me out to San Diego, putting me up for the weekend, and not talking too much while I was taping!
