TOOL WAS AWESOME, BUT THE SOUND NEEDED BALANCE

What an amazing band! I just wish that I could hear Maynard better. From my seat, all I could hear was the guitar, bass, and drums and him just occasionally. I'm thinking it must have just been where I was sitting, but it was very disappointing not being able to hear him. HIs voice is essential and without it I was left wanting more....Not the band's fault. It's either the venue or the sound technicians.....

TOOL IS AMAZING

Light show - 5 stars set list - 3 stars sound quality - 4 stars stage - 5 stars crowd engagement - 5 stars Although i understand playing their latest and greatest especially since it's Fear Innoculum tour, but most of the people in the crowd have been listening to Tool since the early nineties. There should have been more representation from Lateralus and undertow. some of the new songs drag on and their sound was mushy which others have mentioned. Overall it's a cathartic almost religious experience as always, just wish the sound and set-list were more of what i wanted. I still recommend

LOVE AND HATE

WOW, first time seeing Tool, long time fan. SOOO glad I get to check this off the bucket list. Agree w/ others, the MUSIC was spot on, amazing energy & carrying the melodies & riffs from beginning to end. HOWEVER.....where the hell was Maynard?? Was that him?? He stayed on the platform, never found a spot light or the front of the stage a SINGLE TIME the entire night!!?? Maybe this is his thing, maybe there's some component of taking the focus off of himself & making the emphasis the music makers, but it SURE would have been nice to get a glimpse of this master of the lyric & vocal chords. That constructive criticism being said, I'd buy another ticket in a HEARTBEAT!!

MISSING THE FAVORITES

Tool rocked, loved it, BUT they didn't play ANY of the big hits that made them famous, "Sober, schism. Forty six & 2" the light show was amazing, the crowd was not very excited or enthusiastic about cheering for oncoar

I LOVE TOOL BUT I COULD BARELY HEAR JAMES.

The light show was terrific, the background screen entertaining but I did not hear James voice as distinctly as I thought I should. I saw them at Rockville 2023 and I heard James articulate his words. He is a great performer whom allows his talented Band members to share their skills in stage light. I am going to MSG and hope to hear him better. The band is magical

GREAT SETLIST BUT

I loved the setlist especially descending and hooker with a penis. The sound was bad. It was warm up band quality. Either Adam was having a bad night (doubtful for sure) or his equipment was faulty. Or maybe it was the venue acoustics or the sound engineers but regardless it wasn’t good. Guitar dropped in and out and vocals washed out. Volume so high that is sounded distorted. Nothing against the band whom I have seen many times, just bad sound.

GREAT PRESENTATION, POOR SOUND

Incredible light show and ambience at this Tool show - just a total trip to watch. Sound quality was at times so atrocious I thought they were having technical problems. Some songs early in the show were so distorted they just became an unrecognizable grind. Shame when you can barely make out Maynard's voice. Dark stage setting made it hard to see the band as well. End of show with Culling Voices and Invincible were huge highlights.
