fall 2001 the lowdown and the followup
Couldn't make the show? At least you can find out how it was. Here's what normal everyday fans from each tour stop had to say about Tool. This tour was the first major North American tour for "Lateralus", and saw a rise in popularity for Tool's official site's presale-password-mailing-list, which let online fans get tickets before they went on sale to the public.

This tour also marked a first for this site: the introduction of the t.d.n Ticket Hookup. A little page was made where people with extra tickets could sell them to other Tool fans, and it was really amazing to watch as people sold their tickets at face value (!), rather than jacking up the price. Thanks to this, a lot of people got to see Tool live who otherwise might not have.

A whopping 2,531 reviews were posted for these 50 shows. Dig in.
