Was that the one when he acted out the Buffalo Bob "would you frick me? I'd frick me?" on stage or when he was full body painted in half and half florescent paint? It's been too long, and my memory is crap

Maynard brings it. He puts everything into it.

vocally yes, but he stopped bringing it ever since he started standing in the shadows at the back of the stage. As great as the sound and light show are, their live performances are missing the energy of him being the front man. I fully understand why he does this (he was furious when sycophant fanboys made APC all about him... and even many of them act cool by claiming APC is better than TOOL), but I don't agree with it. Without him at center stage playing the crowd (which he was great at), their shows are missing an important element.

Saw them at the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento back in October. Was nice to see they'd changed the stage show up some.

They were by far the best band onstage that day. Buddy of mine, and older dude that saw Pink Floyd and all the other great bands in their prime, was gobsmacked. Said it was the best show he'd ever seen.

I was there too. I was in eighth grade at the time. WTF were my parents thinking. Yeah, I believe Maynard was dancing around naked at some point. I think The Cramps were the opening act.
