I thought I would wait until i read some of these other Denver 
reviews before i put mine up.  Like predicted,  "Maynard this, 
Maynard that."  Anyway - yes, the show was wonderful.  :

I got there before the whole thing started, my bud and I were there 
like 6 hours early, first people there.  When we got in,  I was very 
pleased with our seats,  row HH.  Not the best but WAY better than 
general admission.  So, we sat down, waited,  then Failure came out, 
they- well, I don't think people really noticed that there was a band 
playing up there.=) And I noticed TONS of people with Tool shirts on 
there, which were about %70 posers, (when I saw them "sitting" during 
the show). 

Time passed, I got to see "Tricky", I don't know what happend there, 
but that was intense, I was shocked through that whole preformance, 
very good.  So later Snoop Doggy Dog played,  I knew Tool was 
afterwards,  my bud and I were getting restless.  So I saw Danny's 
kit being moved out.  I was so ready to see them put on a show.  So 
ready.

After a great setup.  They came:

Danny Carey - Failure shirt (black, sleeves rolled up), Athlete 
shorts.

Maynard Keenan - Stage shoes, Red wig, painted face (white, red 
lipstick), black spandex with an ass shaper (to look like a womans 
behind),  Red bra w/ nipples.

Adam Jones - Green button up shirt w/ an extended colar, jeans.

Justin Chancelor - All green paint, dockers. 

I looked at "Toastydudes" setlist.  That's right on.

They came out and played a crowed note (cresendo on guitars and 
drums).

The sound was incredible,  bright, the lights, was awsome.  I don't 
want to offend anybody,  but I watch some of these videos people send 
me from shows there; but I think tool here was just so full of 
energy.  

Well, I am probably restating everything else - a note to the people 
who wanted to hook up there - sorry,  I didnt check mky email fast 
enough.  

I think maybe all of us should write a letter to the productions 
office of Lollapalooza, maybe to obtain some of the video clippits of 
Tool.  

Thank you

If this seems unstructured and like it rambles, forgive me, I'm 
venting...
  This was my second Tool show.  I had great expectations after their 
last show in Denver left me with deep awe and admiration.  However, 
Tool has become less popular for their music, and more popular for 
their image (I hope this is because of capitalism and not the band's 
own doing).  Tool has become a logo, a status symbol and a form of 
rebellion because of their "dark" music.  The deep concentration and 
meaning that goes into Tool's music is totally ignored by many Tool 
"fans" because the focus is not on the band but its image.  I realize 
that Tool objects to this sort of behavior, so it was shocking when I 
walked up to the T-shirt stand before the doors opened.  I hoped to 
find no new shits of Tool, and I was briefly comforted when I saw the 
same black shirt I had seen at the last show.  But to my amazement, I 
noticed a small white baby-tee with the two baby angels and "TOOL" 
scrawled over the front.  I laughed it off, but I was truly confused.
  The rest of Lollapalooza was spent dodging drunk, small-minded men, 
angry kids and circles of shit-talking.  I couldn't wait for Tool.
  It was everything I wanted and the biggest heart break all rolled 
into one.  The opening tidbits of (-) ions and drug commentaries had 
me biting my nails.  I tried to deeply concentreate on the opening, 
trying to ignore shouts from a beer-spilling man shouting "Tool!  
TOoOoL!!."  When Tool finally entered I could do nothing but stare.  
When Maynard entered the crowd ate him up (we just love seeing men in 
drag, don't we?  It's that whole stupid rebellion thing going on, and 
we sheep just LOVE it).I couldn't understand why Maynard was dressed 
the way he was, so I watched with curiosity.  However, when they 
opened with Hooker I understood.  That was the one song they didn't 
play at the Mammoth Events Center last year.  Their "fuck-you" song 
had no place there, because they were hopeful people were truly 
listening (at least that's what I think).  Every body loved it when 
Maynard shouted "fuck you", and they loved it when he acted like he 
was fucking someone (it's our dirty little minds at work again).  
They loved it when the music got hard and loud, and pit got more 
violent to prove it.  And they really yelled when Maynard said during 
the bridge, "T-shirts, hats, and baby-tees on sale at the consession 
stand"...(buy,buy,buy,send more money).  But hardly anyone listened 
to what was truly being said.  He said "Fuck you."  Not only did he 
say it, but he meant it.  Fuck you, fuck me, fuck all of us. 
  That's when I was truly crushed.  Yeah, I was laughing at all of 
the retarded people, blindly shouting out how stupid they are,growing 
louder when Maynard cussed and moved.  But I realized that, like it 
or not, I, a person who has always loved Tool from the moment I heard 
them, am no better than anyone else.  When a Tool "fan" sits back and 
bitches about all of the "trendies" with his shirt, he is just one in 
the crowd.  When someone buys a Tool patch to sew on to his  backpack 
so he can be cooler than the next guy, he really sends out a signal 
of his own weakness.  And yes, when I sit and bitch about all of the 
people who buy into it, and when I act like I am the biggest Tool fan 
(god I hate that word), I am really no better than anyone else.  I 
was who he was saying "fuck you" to.  And so are you.
  I truly love what Tool puts into their music.  The rest of the show 
was wonderful, but I felt so far away and meaningless (oh boo hoo).
When Tool left the stage, I couldn't talk for the rest of the night.
  Seeing Tool again really showed me a little humiliation.  I suppose 
that's what they wanted.

The day was nice. It rained a little.  Snoop reminds me of one 
of those See and Say toys.  Put the arrow on the sheep and 
pull.  Bahhhh.  The crowed loved it. " I think the party is 
over here." No Snoop " I think the party is over here."  Over 
and over again.
After Ten minutes just somke the joint Snoop.  Please.  Na Na 
Na Na Hey Hey Hey Goodbye.

The clouds part. I hope they play the lounge versions I have 
read about.Tim Leary sample Turn on Tune in Drop out.  Tool set 
up.  They wheel out Danny's star symbol.  This is what I drove 
10 hours for.  I didn't rec it at first but the version of 
Third Eye was very good.  6:50pm Tool is set to hit the stage 
at 7:15.  Bill Hicks said something about kids sticking herion 
in their arm and not likeing society. 
Rummbling. (-) ions. Fog. They walked calmly on stage and 
started Hooker.  Maynard was holding two fingers up saying 
Fuckyou Buddy.  Stinkfist sounded like crawl away at first and 
the original begining was in the middle.  Subtle Changes. 46 & 
2.  Red wig. Black stretch pants that flair at the bottom.  
Four inch hells.  White mime face. Nice breasts.  Maybe giving 
back what men have withheld from women over the decades.  Cold 
& Ugly. Eulogy. It is raining again. There is no place I would 
rather be.  Sober.  Men with bowed heads walking.  Third Eye.  
Maynard does an indian howl during that first yelling part.  A 
moment we will never see again.  He said something about being 
stronger through crying and showing emotion.  You will spend a 
lot less energy just crying in front of someone rather than 
holding it in.  Enema. Over.  Thank You Tool.

Prodigy are a bunch of clowns.  What happens if the Dj's 
equipment doesn't Work?

WOW!!!

Got to TOOLapalooza, my friend and I went down to the pit to get our
yellow wrist bands and our tickets marked. Then we walked around a while,
feeling a little cooler since we had access to THE PIT!!! I won't go into
too much, the first half of the show w as kinda lame, music wise. But,
Brooke(wearing my bright orange A.I.C. shirt, which proved to be luck) and
me in my TOOL shirt, came to find that we enjoyed Snoop Dogg, evn though
we hate rap. There we 3 rappers on stage, on of them passed Brooke down a
j oint, we passed it around, she got the roach back. WE were front row in
the pit, squeezing the rail, 4 feet from the stage. Finally that was over,
TOOL took like 20 minutes to set up. FRONT ROW!!!! I have never been more
excited to see anything in my life !! As you know, the usual clothes,
gotta love the tatoo Maynard has up his spine. They was so awsome, they
were an experiance I'll never forget! Maynard looked over at me, I feel
into his eyes, held my arms out for him and screamed, "I LOVE YOU!!!" I
don' t know that I had a favorite song that night, but Third Eye was even
better live than on their albums. I don't know what else to say about it,
except that I will never forget this year's Lolla. Prodigy was awsome,
they kicked! The white dude, with the bla ck eyes and clown-like hair,
walked along the guard rail during the 4th song and grabed Brooke's
hand,then ripped his away, hit it against his chest and stuck it in his
mouth, drewling all over it, then showed it to the croud. The black guy
was constantly looking at Brooke, my guess is that it must have been that
shirt! irt!

I arrived at a slightly rainy Lollapalooza, and just sat on the
hill for a while, and watched Failure's set (pretty hip). Ziggy
Marley's set was ok, I suppose. It sounded a bit too similer 
after a while, so I departed to browse the booths. That was fun
in itself.. especially the AOL booth. heh. A conversation I had
with the lady in charge of it:
lady: "Do YOU have American Online?"
me: "You mean.. the Internet?" (Implying heavy sarcasm)
lady: "Yes!" 

..some people will never learn. Anyways, check the Lollapalooza
web page, in Denver, in the picture section with the caption 
"EOTD.. free porn!" (quite the lure) to see me, heh. Oh yeah.. I was 
talking
to the man in charge of the photos, and he informed me that 
Maynard had taken a picture of himself and the lady previously
mentioned. So, we clicked on the Hartford, Connecticut show and 
looked under the caption "surprise", located roughly 3/4 of the 
way down the page. Lo and behold, there was Maynard in all his
glory, sticking his tounge out. heh. After a while of walking 
around, I went back to see James. A nice little band. I 
walked around again, to come back to see the very last part of
Trickey's set. He seemed sort of energetic, yet he didn't move
around. At all. Then, Snoop came on, and, surprisingly, the place
went wild, heh. Oh well. He's a funny lad. Now trembling violently
in anticipation, I, for once, took my seat. Section 6, maybe 50 
or so rows back.. but still enough, I noticed, to clearly see 
Maynard's face, especially where his eyes were located, via
the face paint. They opened with "Hooker With A Penis", as I'm sure
this loyal Tool page crowd knows by now. Maynard did sound, yes,
true to the album, and he has one hell of a voice. He looked
sinister as he sang toward the crowd, but for a naturally
hostile song like "Hooker", it fit perfectly. He did move 
like a marionette with the music as his strings, too. Quite
entertaining to watch. Justin was green, and looking quite hip.
Paul had regular attire on, and Danny was normal as well. Danny
has got to be the best drummer in modern music today. Anyways,
the set list has already been mentioned. I liked the extended
bridge in Stinkfist, and Pushit was incredible. I was estatic to
hear that song, as it's my favorite Tool song, but, reviewing
the recent concerts, they hadn't played it very much (recently,
mind you). I felt so emotionally fulfilled after seeing them in
concert. I went back and collapsed on the green, incredibly happy
that I had been a part of seeing Tool live. Not just a concert, 
but an experience. After Tool, Prodigy came on. They weren't bad
at all, and the light show was great. However, heh, my guess
is that roughly half the people there were for Tool. heh. And
rightfully so. Hail the Reverend, if he's indeed a god
then I'll subscribe to his religion.

I wasn't too thrilled about having to pay 36 bucks to see Tool this
time, I'd much rather pay the 12 bucks at king soopers to see
them at the Mammoth Events Center than at Fiddlers. Still, a good
time was had. I'm sure you've all seen the setlist, what who was
wearing and what not. I agree with all the emotions listed previously
Maynard can mesmerize an entire crowd by just his movements and 
expressions. Adding in intense singing and instruments and you have
a mixture that could get anyone in the entire show moving. There
were many people around me that I don't think understood Maynard's
comments like "T-Shirts and Hats just for you" during Hooker. 
Although I was there to see Tool and only Tool, I enjoy Prodigy's
music but would much rather be at a rave with a big open warehouse
to dance in, instead of a bunch of seats and drunk people. Snoop's
antics on stage were rather entertaining, smoking a joint on stage
will catch anyone's attention.
Overall, Tool was superb. There is no band I've ever seen that can
make me think so much, appreciate so much, and love music more than
Tool. I hope they come back soon, hopefully at the Mammoth again.

BTW: 311 the night before was great too =)

Before I begin any review, I would simply like to say something to 
the girl that I took with me to lollapalooza: ìbaaaî

As for the TOOL review, Iím not going to say what many reviewers will 
and probably have already said. Iím just going to write my 
observations and emotions and hope that maybe you guys will 
appreciate that change and read on. Front row in pit, couldnít get 
any better than that. Maynard was so close that if I really wanted 
to, I could jump up and touch him. In any case, the roadie came out 
and played a few notes of ìHî on Justinís base and the crowd went 
wild. Fortunately, I was too excited and pumped up for TOOLís 
performance that I didnít get too frustrated with the imbeciles that 
were shouting ìtool, tool, tool, toolî in repetition. I waited 
patiently in front of Maynardís microphone, although I was getting 
restless as well. They all came out, Adam first, showing his face 
only to then hide behind his hair again, then Maynard, followed by 
Danny and Justin. I had read previous reviews so I knew Maynard was 
in drag, and I think it prepared me for what my eyes saw. But I had 
no idea that Maynardís eyes were that amazing and powerful. A man 
next to me asked if his breasts were real, I smiled and said ìnoî. As 
usual, some fuckwads behind me yelled ìfagî... again, I was too 
engaged in waiting for TOOL to notice or get upset. They opened up 
with ìhooker...î, and I screamed every word (attempting not to drown 
in my own temporary hypocrisy) and I thrashed around a bit (always 
staying in the front row of the pit though, avoiding the moshers 
behind me). Then ìStinkfistî was played, again, I sang that, still 
moving around quite a bit. ìThis song is about subtle changeî Maynard 
said before 46 & 2, and by that time, my voice was getting softer 
until I was just mouthing the words, and my motions ceased all 
together as my eyes couldnít believe what was in front of me. 
Maynard, if some of you didnít notice, does not blink. He stares, and 
his eyes convey more emotion than the music (if thatís possible). I 
was hopelessly waiting for him to establish eye contact with me, just 
for him to look into my thoughts and emotions. I heard the boy next 
to me say ìJesus I canít look him in the eyesî. I know that this kid 
wasnít at lolla for TOOL because I spoke with him earlier and so I 
think that if you donít connect with the bandís music and lyrics, 
itís frightening to know that Maynard has power over you, that you 
donít understand. With his eyes, his motions, his lyrics (as I 
interpret them), Maynard made me empathize with him. My heart (and I 
know that sounds rather, how should I put this, corny) just reached 
out to him, and I just wanted to say ìIím sorryî, to apologize for 
everything that heíd experienced and for all the people out there 
that he couldnít stand. His movements were taunting and unbelievable. 
I donít really even remember the order of songs or whatever, however, 
i remember that between two songs, Maynard crouched down for probably 
3 minutes straight and stared into the crowd. I established eye 
contact with him for about 5 seconds and thatís something I will 
never forget; with the red smoke in front and behind him, his eyes, 
knowing everyoneís existence and every thought and every purpose and 
ìhidden agendaî. In PuShit, he sang to something on the floor, as if 
someone or something was there. In �nema, he grinned and sang ìlearn 
to swimî to some unlucky bastard out in the crowd =) Some of the 
things he said were breathtaking as well. First of all, he said 
something about how a lot of people think they know what strong is, 
and that being strong is to suppress your emotions. Maynard said that 
instead of suppressing your emotions, you can be strong by expressing 
them. 

Amen to that. Thatís all I have to say about that. Then he said 
something about lollapalooza and that he hoped we all came with an 
open mind to the music, to experience the different types, not caring 
what our friends thought was ìcoolî or ìtrendyî. I hoped that I had 
done exactly that but I just smiled. The sarcasm in his statement was 
subtle, yet overwhelming once detected. I saw a trace of a smile 
after the crowd all yelled ìyeah!î or ìhell yeah!î.  As a different 
reviewer of a previous lolla said: Maynard 1 Denver 0. Maynard scored 
quite a bit of points that night against the crowd. I hope we at 
least provided him with some entertainment =) Iím sure he fooled me 
quite a bit as well. Well, this is getting lengthy and I think Iíve 
said everything (or at least a decent summary) of what came to mind. 
I'm still absolutely mesmerized. 

Just as a side note, I saw Maynard thrashing around to Prodigy quite 
a bit. Just something I noticed... And, I think I got really great 
pics of Maynard and a few of Justin and Adam. Write me if you're 
interested...

Thanks for gathering enough patience to read this.

After your first TOOL concert you develope a addiction, an urge. 
Theurge is basically to see more concert. The show I just 
returned from perfectly satisfied it for now. All the set lists 
posted so far seem correct to me. Before I plunge into the "TOOL 
only" part I would like to say that what I saw of failure was superb. 
James kinda sounds like U2 and their singer practically gave me a lap 
dance for a few minutes, yet they were excellent. Snoop's funny. 

In the beginning there was the band members described as in the other 
reviews. Still Maynards Face was painted in such a way that with just 
a hint of movement he could create any femmenine emotion. During the 
concert he would stare at me (or at least within a three person 
range) for minutes at a time. Then one time I widened my eyes and he 
would suddenly contort backward. During hooker with a penis, he said 
(i think) something like "t-shirts half off just for you". Right 
then, while wearing my shirt I felt like ...well a tool, like it was 
a lable saying I was a mechendice follower and the shirt was just to 
weed me out. Maynard seemed much more into the music than I had seen 
him, much more physically controlled by it. Still the eyes seemed so 
familiar. Danny always amazing me, it was very educational to watch 
him, seems I can play their songs easier now. Justin drinks Samual 
Adams, seeing as how he had a row of them on a amplifier. Adam was in 
his usual character, but I finnally have a clear picture of his face 
in my mind. Through out the set they would add in new bridges and 
sounds. Ofcourse the lighting was perfect. maynard started a 
monolauge with band acompanyment about how we should take advantage 
of this chance to experience s many different kinds of music and not 
to let your friends fourm your opinion of the music. I now belive 
that a TOOL concert is not something to hear then yern for untill it 
happens again, but instead to feed on and grow from untill it 
happenes again. When you see this band if you don't have an open 
mind you will miss a rare and inspirational experience

For those of you who just want to see my Tool review, I'd recommend
Scrolling Down.  I got to Lallapalooza at about 12:00 and we went through
thr normal procedure of being tapped down and searched.  Our Seats were
not very close...but we still had an awesome time.  The only band I was
disapointed with was failure.  They sounded really bad.  The rest of
Lallapalooza was cool.  I got into Skeleton Key (playing on the 2nd stage) 
and I also Liked Tricky.  James was sort of cheesey and bugged the hell
outta me.  I didn't see much of the Marleys do to my internest in Skeleton
Key.  Then my eyes were opened.  I friend of mine had to drag me to it,
but I went and saw The Lost Boys.  They were exellent.  Even for Rap. 
Very motivational ( even if they used their own methods)  and except for
the occasional "I got the Ganja, The Liquors, the Condoms, now put it in
the ass", they were pretty good. 

Then came Snoop Dog.  This was an alright show, except for the fact that
probably half of these kids problems are due to role models like him.  I
don't see the point of getting a crowd to chant "I'm gonna get fucked up". 
After Snoop came the show of the night.  Tool.  They took about 20 minutes
to setup, and even still, throughout the show, they had problems with the
Guitar and Bass.  Then out they came.  Maynard in the now typical Black
tight pants, heels, and the fake tits in the top.  He was wearing an
AWEFUL red wig and had a completely white face.  Justin was painted all
green and had a clean, sparkling, newly shaved head.  Adam was normal and
seemed very agitated tonight.  No guesses why.  And finally Danny, who had
a giant, 6 ft diameter, gong-like magic thing.  He was phenominal.  He did
a drum solo leading into Third Eye that was stupendious.  Oh well...here
is the set list (Exactly right) 

Hooker With a Penis
Stinkfist w/Bridge
46 and 2
Cold and Ugly
Eulogy
Pushit
Sober
/Drum Solo
\Third Eye
Maynard's Monolouge about Lallapalooza
�nema

Short notes about songs.  Hooker was great.  Especially since we heard a
swing version teaser.  In the middle he stopped and said something like
"Baby Teeth! 50% off!"  Stinkfist had a new bridge...nothing great.  46
and 2.  Maynard announced that it was about "Subtle Changes".  Cold and
Ugly.  Maynard said they haven't played it in a while.  It started with
the opening riff from a Rush song called "A Passage to Bankok"  Eulogy. 
There was a fight on the green (General Admission area)right before the
song started.  It stopped the minute Tool Started playing.  Pushit.  YES! 
They played it.  Complete with scenes from the mating rituals of Elephants
and Camels.  Sober.  Good except for the fact that Adam had to change
Guitars Twice due to technical problems.  Drum Solo/Third Eye.  Awesome
Solo.  Third Eye was by far the best song they played.  It sounded
AWESOME!  Maynard's Monolouge.  This is where the band messed with sound
effects and Maynard told the crowd about how we were supposed to try new
and differnet things today despite popular beliefs.  Then He threw off
that stupid wig.  �nema.  Only song played "wig-less".  This was the only
Tool song in which the side monitors works (the sun was finally down). 
Very cool video and cool lighting designs.  After Tool, I was about to
leave.  Then, Prodigy came on.  They were outstanding.  Almost as good as
Tool.  They had the entire ampitheater dancing.  The lighting was amazing. 
Maynard was right about trying to do new and differnt things.  I listened
to two bands I hated and now I ended up liking them.

WOAH!

let me say WOAH! again. 

we got there about 10 minutes before Failure's first set ended so i
didn't get to see much of them. i had to walk around for too long to 
get my wrist band for the pit. i didn't want to watch the Marley 
brothers so i went to the 2nd stage and watched Skeleton Key. I
got to check out James and that was cool. Tricky sucked and Snoop 
smoked pot. and then the important part came. tool. i was at the 
VERY front hugging the grate.

the band came out like this:

Adam: Jeans and a green button-up shirt.
Danny: Failure shirt.
Justin: Jeans and painted green.
Maynard: Red wig(looked like peg bundy), white face paint, a bra with
breasts that looked kinda real, stretch pants and platform shoes.

here's the setlist:

Hooker W/A Penis
Stinkfist
46 & 2
Cold & Ugly
Eulogy
Pushit
Sober
Third Eye
�nema

it kicked ass. hooker was intense as an opener. stinkfist was good. 
then they went into 46 & 2. maynard said it was about subtle changes. 
before he played it i swear we made direct eye contact. that was 
probably the best song they did all night. before they played cold & 
ugly maynard said it was a song they hadn't played in a while. we 
made eye contact again before eulogy. the whole show in all KICKED 
ASS. i got a set list from the stage after the show and it included 
Opiate, but they didn't play it. i wish they would've, but you can't 
always get what you want. it wasn't the best tool show i've seen, but 
it sure did kick the ass of ALL the concerts i've seen so far this 
year.

one more thing:

PRODIGY SUCKS ALOT!

    What a great show.  This is the first time in Denver that
I've seen where Tool could play longer than 45 minutes.  
Maynard started it off right with "Hooker with a penis".  Not
to mention his dress with very realistic looking breast
attachments.  Justin was colored in a green lantern type 
motif and Danny Carey was awesome as usual.  Before Third Eye
Danny took a monstrous solo piece and it segued perfectly.
Overall, the show was great except for the fact that they
were not headlining and could not play any longer than their
allotted time.  Oh well, better luck nextime.  I suggest to
anyone that this is a must see band.  Have fun. Terry form

I just got back from TOOL at Fiddler's Green in Denver. Here is what
happened: TOOL came on around 7:15. Jamie ,Matt, Ryan and I managed to
walk up to the 12th row, dead center. They opened with "Hooker". Maynard
was decked out in his normal Lollapalooza getup....except he had on a huge
red, curly wig . Justin was painted green and Danny and Adam were
"normal".Then came "Stinkfist" with the extended bridge.....very
cool.After that 46&2. Then came a surprise....Adam started playing Rush's
"Passage to Banko k" and then into "Cold and Ugly"!!! It was very sweet.
Also in the setlist were....Third Eye, Eulogy, Pushit, Sober, and finally
AEnema. It was an incredible show.  See you auntie......
