Subject: Vancouver BC Concert!

Well I recently attended the show at the PNE forum in vancouver.  Allow 
me to set a mood  ... a sold out show, 10000 anxious fans waiting for TOOL 
to appear on stage and the cows (the opener) emerges on stage.  Well safe 
to say, the crowd was not to pleased with the opener.  Well ok, people 
shouted obscenitties, constantly boo'ed and even started to throw change 
at the Cows.  At one point during the performance the crowd sat down and 
started chanting TOOL over and over.  After being tortured by the Cows for
over 
half an hour (and not to mention having a good time doing it =) )  They 
finnaly left, later in the show Maynard gave us the prize of being quote 
"The biggest jerks to an openning band ive ever seen"
But thats completly besides the point!  First Adam Jones appeared on 
stage and the Aenima logo flashed upon the screen behind him.  Thats when 
it hit me, actually it was about a thousand people rushing the stage.  
I could feel myself being pushed back as stinkfist began to ring loud in 
my ears.  It had began ...
Maynard painted gold and now sporting a shaved head took us all on a 
journy which we would never forget.  The mosh pit grew larger with each 
and every song, the crowd seemed most induced when titles from undertow 
where played.  Which seemed to be only minutes was actually over two 
hours of the enitiy which is TOOL.  Maynard then waved goodbye to the 
crowd and announced that Third eye would be the last song by them that 
night.  We all waved and yelled "please dont go", twenty minutes later he 
waas still there to our pleasure.  Finnaly they left the stage the lights 
illuminated and Aenima rang in my ears.  Overall ofcourse the concert 
ranked a 10/10, somehow i think TOOL will only grow because more then 
once I overheard "Well there deffinatly my favourite band now"
