The suggestion: TOOL Concert Review (from the pit). Soma. San Diego. 
October 18: First off, TOOL was amazing (esp. Maynard). Onto the juicy
details: TOOL did 7 of the 9 new songs (all except H and Third Eye), 4
songs off Undertow, and "Opiate" as the finale. No encore. Maynard wore
baggy black sweats, Birkenstocks, no socks, no shirt, no hair, and held a
bottle of water. Had glazed look over his eyes. Very intense. Seems to be
at peace though. Moves like a guy having a seizure. Ducks and dodges.
Seems to lose his balance up there on stage. Then regains. Kept back to
crowd a lot. Said "jimmy" was the second part of "prison sex". Didn't say
too much. Thanked everyone for coming. Almost smiled once! Opened with
Stinkfist, then 46 & 2, then Intolerance, then Eulogy...Took stage after
about 15 minutes of keyboard music that built in intensity. Show ended.
Maynard threw extra bottles of water into crowd and left.
