I saw them in 2006 for the 10,000 Days tour and they were incredibly boring. I had been waiting to see them for years and they disappointed so bad. I even dragged two non-Tool fan friends to see it and they were such a letdown. Also we had to wait for freaking ages because the band had security confiscate everyone's phones because they didn't want anyone to record (why do you think that is? 'Cause they know they're boring lol). Then the queue to get our phones back took another goddamn hour. Oh well. Maybe it was bad because of the audio production setup that concert. The sound all bled together and was terrible.

[@timwaldron7599]

Back in the day it seemed like they were always in town, so I saw them 7 times between Kzoo and Detroit starting with the very first concert I saw, Tool, Failure, and The Flaming Lips in Pontiac at the Phoenix Center. It is an outdoor venue on the top of a parking structure, and to this day it was the only time I have felt uneasy in a pit. It wasn't even a pit, it was the whole crowd falling on each other, but you didn't hit the ground, you just leaned into the person next to you and so on. Great band to see live. I saw them at Wings stadium too, and it is etched in my brain for several reasons, I was just some dumb, punk kid that didn't know how much I should be savoring the moment. How time flies.
