I saw Tool. They were... OK? There weren't really any surprises throughout the show, and it felt like they were just going through the same old routine. They sounded pretty much exactly like their albums--which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but when I go to a show I like to see at least a little improvisation and spur-of-the-moment interactions between the band members and the crowd. This felt pretty cold and lifeless and they might as well have just put on a Best Of album and walked off the stage. This might have something to do with them playing in arena, but it's hard to tell.
They're past their prime, I'd say.
