I am by no means the worlds greatest writer, or even a good one at that. 
But I did go to the TOOL concert on November 16 at The Garage at Caddy's 
Complex in Cincinnati.

All I can say was IT WAS AWESOME. By far the best concert I have ever 
been to. The venure was a small one, it couldnt have held more than tow 
thousand people. It was basically a large storage garage or shop that was 
converted into a bar on one side and a stage on the other. Seeing as how 
I am from Indiana, I was not used to being let into bars just by walking 
in. I sort of liked that. Physcotica played first, and judging from other 
tour reviews, the crowd reaction was the same. Not much at all. Everyone 
was waiting for Tool. Personally, I enjoyed the band. They were very 
supportive of Tool and seemed like they wanted to be out in the crowd 
waited for Tool as well.
By the time they were finished and Tool came on everyone waited about 30 
to 45 minutes. About the 30 minute mark the crowd starting chanting TOOL, 
TOOL, TOOL, like it was a sporting event and that was going to get the 
band to come on stage. It didnt work and when they finally did come on 
stage, and the screen behind them started to project the crowd went 
crazy. I was immediately pushed to the front and the pit began. I like to 
get into the music to I spend most of the time in the main pit. The first 
song that the band played was third eye. I dont think too many people 
recognized it because after the shock of the band being on stage wore 
off, it took everyone a minute to get back into the show. The rest of the 
songs that they played, in no order, were off AEnima:Stinkfist, Forty Six 
and Two, Eulogy, Pushit, Jimmy, and the encore AEnema. The only song they 
didnt play was Hooker with A Penis. Off of Undertow, they played:Prison 
Sex, Sober, and Swamp Song and off of Opiate they played: Opiate, and 
Cold and Ugly. Not much old stuff, but it was still a great selection.
I was really impressed by the beginning of Eulogy. To me on the album it 
sounded as if the intro was sampled. I had no idea they played every part 
of that with thier instruments.
As for the bands appearance, they all came on stage without shirts as 
usual but Maynard had a green line painted from his belly button all the 
way up his chest up the middle of his face and over his head to his back. 
Then his back was painted in green and black only it was made out to look 
like his spine all the way down his back. All I have to say now is that I 
would highly reccomend that anyone in doubt about going to see TOOL, 
SHOULD go! 

Sorry my writing skills suck ass.
