Third Tool show for me at Rod Laver Arena, and clearly their best one at this venue for mine. Great mix of new and old stuff, excellent show length at around 2:15 actual playing time, and the visuals were cool, much better than the 10,000 days tour show. I'm also pretty sure Maynard was sick for that one, as he was drinking a lot of water during the show, doing a fair bit of hawking, and didn't sing a lot of the high notes. Historically, the Lateralus show at Rod Laver I had shit seats for as missed out on general admin which didn't help, and I was also probably underwhelmed given their previous Aenima at Festy Hall was the most awesomely mind blowing gig I've ever been to.
If I was going to criticize I would say the encore was a little light on. Invincible I find a bit disjointed as a song, so would've preferred Descending if they wanted something off the new album, and whilst Stinkfist is a good tune I reckon there are plenty of stronger options.
