Last night, I saw the single greatest concert of my life. When Tool took the stage, thousands of fists went in the air and the Memorial Coliseum in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, roared to life (the opening band, Melt Banana, was an AWFUL Japanese screamo band). Maynard came out in a bright orange jacket and cowboy hat (which he took off during Stinkfist) and the band began their opening song, Jambi. The light/laser show progressively got better, with the amazing climax during Lateralus (Vicarious was just insane). The set list was perfect:

Jambi
Stinkfist (extended)
Forty Six & 2
Schism (extended)
Roseta Stoned
Flood
Wings 1 & 2
Lateralus
Vicarious

Unfortunately, they cut Aenema for Flood...but that is forgivable. Overall, best show I've ever seen.

Hey guys,

I'm back and will resume regular posting. The trip was great, by the way.
