I'd say fucking grab it man, if you don't like the wild stuff then you won't like this but this is the power gnarl, a peak into the plasma furnace...Hooker is such a powerful drummer...I bought my copy of the 3xCD ToL from some guy who had a big record table at the Red Rose in Finsbury for 20 quid...its definitely worth it, think of the stupid shit you spend a 20 on. Shit here in NYC you spend that on a couple of drinks with a date.
I wish I could remember why I didn't go to that first Tol show at Tonic. maybe it was just advertised as Tol without anyone's names associated with it? I saw the gig at the Knitting Factory that summer which was probably my favorite of all the ToL shows I've been able to see - maybe because there was plenty of seating - the place was half full - and for some tragic reason my D3 didn't record.
