Just crushed it in Houston, one of the best live shows I have ever seen!

Set list? Did they play a lot of FI?
Won’t lie. I’m jealous.

Killing Joke wasn’t great. We walked out and watched the Astros game at the bar until they were done

While that is a great set list, no Eulogy? Only "Part of Me" from Opiate and Undertow combined?

I get that Tool songs are long AF and they can't play everything. I don't dislike the choices they made, but that is a little bit glaring.

I've never seen them live, either.

Killing Joke was another in a long line of horrible opening acts they've chosen.

Wish they'd bring Failure back out with them.

Other than that, the show was awesome. Lots of energy in the crowd.

Could've done without the drum solo/Chocolate Chip crap. Other than that, not a bad note.

The PA was the worst I've ever experienced at a Tool concert, by far,esp in the first 2 or 3 songs. Muddled with little definition. Got better as the show went on, somewhat.

This was the 7th time I've seen them, starting at Voodoo Fest in 2001. Both that and Aftershock Festival in 2017 were better than any time I've seen them in an arena, other than the lack of an encore.

I've seen them three times and only heard one song from Undertow.

It was my first tool concert. I was disappointed in the sound mix, which was pretty bad, but everything else was amazing.

Killing joke was one of the worst bands I have ever seen on a stage that big. Never had a live band kill a weed buzz so fast. I really felt bad for them. It’s bad enough you’re opening for Tool, so your reception won’t be the warmest, but then you suck arse on top of it? Rough

I've yet to see a good opening band with Tool.

My first time seeing a concert in Houston since Clash Of The Titans in 91. Much better experience then at the Summit. the Toyota Center is pretty nice.

I saw Meshuggah open for them in 2002 and they were fantastic. Tool has had some god bands open for them but more often than not its some crappy band.

Yes they are, and I've seen them twice. They actually played the aftershock festival directly before Tool. but that would not be considered an opening slot .

Of the half a dozen times I've seen Tool, the only good opening acts have been Primus and Meshuggah.

Amazing show! The lights plus the performance were incredible! Pneuma was breath taking. Might have been the best one all night
