If you want an experience, not a concert, this is the band you need to see. Light work was amazing! The performance was just breathtaking! The best band in the world. Period. I went to Florida from Puerto Rico just for the show. Don't regret it!

From the moment the lights went down, you could feel the anticipation, excitement, and energy throughout the arena. As it continued with each song played, Tool never ceases to amaze me, always full of surprises. I've seen them 4 times prior and never heard them play Ticks and Leeches. Of course, we would all love to see them play every song of every album for hours on end. They played for little over 90 minutes. All in all, it was a great show, from setlist to light show!

We all know Tool--the reclusive, thoughtful, meticulous rock band prone to incredible stage shows and records that will outlive us all. But they never cease to amaze me. The last time I saw Tool was three days after 9/11. Needless to say, the feeling in the air was one I'll never forget.

This time around, what will stick with me is the idea of Tool as a whole. Yes, Maynard, with his tattoos and Mohawk and crazy outfits and Hunter Thompson/Scott Weiland antics, is a huge part of why I love the band. But his adamant stance to not forefront himself as the lead man--to give credit where credit is due--is something we can all respect. Each member of the band rocks out in their own way and contributes to the notion that each part is essential to the whole.

The sound system was right on, with clear, loud, balanced music that didn't leave my ears ringing--even without earplugs. The animations, video, illustrations, lasers, lights, and overall ambiance was reminiscent of Pink Floyd in their heyday. I really have nothing bad to say about the show. Double thumbs up!

Tool has to be one of the most awesome concert experiences ever. Even if you are just a casual fan of their music, you have to see one of their shows. I've never been to a concert that was that freakin' intense.

So yeah this was the first time seeing TOOL since their 2007 Tour. I was not only happy to be at this show but I was happy to have started my new year of 2012 off with TOOL. I went with a really dear friend of mine and I had a real good time. As usual TOOL is a spiritual experience for me. I would have never known that a exactly a month later from this show my mom was going to kill herself. So this was the last show that I had seen with my mom in my life. Looking back at that now, I am happy to have a positive moment like seeing TOOL before my life turned to chaos. Maynard as usual comes correct on his vocals. I have seen TOOL so many times that seeing them each time is like the first time all over again. I feel like the stage set up in 2007 was better than this tour. I think people would agree with me that I was just happy to get the chance to see them again. I didn't think they would do another tour again for a while.

Tool has been known for it's deep, dark-sounding waves of music, and after 20 years, they still have the ability to captivate and sell out an arena audience of thousands on a full tour, each 2-hour show. Good setlist, a great atmosphere of die-hard fans, one hell of a time.

You know, I don't think the guys in Tool care whether or not anyone is there in the stands, but they still deliver a killer show. It's not a cheap date, but then again it's a band that you only see once every five years or so.

I am a TOOL fan and I LOVE them.
Of course I have been a fan of other great, wonderful, musicians. After seeing some of them in concert over and over, a lot of times their concerts have after a while just becomes a "performance". The same exact thing almost night after night. And it made we wonder if the Artists' were even aware that there were becoming a "product" than just producing the music that the fans love them for and had paid the big bucks to come and see.
That's one of the MANY reason's I love TOOL!
After seeing them at 8 times in concert, am still amazed at the newness I still find in their performance.
Yes, there is a certain order that the concert flows, and certain things always happens, but when they
PLAY THE MUSIC SOMETHING HAPPENS....IN THE AIR...IN THE SPACE....IN THE ENERGY....
IN ME! I feel different, renewed, more positive and different in a more loving way!
OK Maybe I'm crazy...if so leave me alone cause IT, 420 and TOOL works for me.

I mean, i went crazy because i've been a Tool fan since the early days, but even if you're not you still gotta go. It was a night of magic. These guys put on a damn good show and the quality of the music is spot on. Perfect. The light show is spectacular and i love hearing their extended intros to schism or forty six. Jaw Dropping experience i can't even put to words.

This band is beyond any other. Really. The creative force that is Tool once again blew me away with an amazing set consisiting of songs from Aenima, Lateralus, and 10,000 Days. The set was pretty heavy with Aenima tunes which suited me just fine. Opening with "Hooker with A Penis" the show just exploded from there. "Ticks and Leeches" from Lateralus was a rare treat, and overall it was one of the better setlists I have heard from Tool. Highlights for me as always were "Lateralus", "Stinkfist", "Aenima" "Jambi" and a great performance of "Intention". We traveled from Oregon to see the show as it was the closest they would get to us other than Reno. This is just a phenomanal band live and in 35 years of going to shows I have never seen anyone like Tool, they are truly in a league of their own, the Pink Floyd of our generation in my opinion.

The visuals, audio, staff of the venue at this show were spot on BUT the band's personal security should be ashamed of themselves! They wouldn't even let people send a text message while the band was on stage! They ought to be ashamed of themselves! Some people want to remember a show they go to and yes, fans around me that were taking pictures had their phone screens dimmed all the way and their flash was OFF. Again, GREAT job on the part of the venue but the band should be ashamed for not letting PAYING FANS take pictures of the show
