I had the priveledge of seeing TooL both nights in New York.

Thursday: Maynard is fully covered in light blue flourescent body paint 
with only boxer shorts on. Justin has white body paint with red spots all 
over that look like leetches(sp). Adam and Danny were just shirtless. 
Before they came on, there was an eerie sort of halloween type music 
playing. Then the lights dimmed and through the speakers came a very deep 
rumbling noise as if something were coming up through the earth. You 
could feel the bass through your whole body. Then the curtain dropped on 
the stage unveiling two screens, and the image on the album cover came to 
life. They came out and the crowd went wild. 
They opened with Stinkfist and went on to play(not exactly in this 
order)46 & 2, pushit, swamp song, hooker, eulogy, prison sex, jimmy, a 
very long drum solo intro to sober, opiate and Aenima. 
He explained how jimmy was an extension of prison sex and did that "this 
is the last song.........off our first record" All together an excellent 
show and I was very glad I was there.
