Notes: This show was the first International '01 tour-date. Although this was recorded at Tilburg, Tool makes inferences to the 'downtown' of Amsterdam (red light district) & sex clubs. Which makes me think Tilburg is very close by the 'Dam I was there in the summer of 2001 with my wife but cannot remember what towns were where. It's all a smoky haze in my memory. As for the recording, this has actually been confused a good deal with various sources. However, for the record, this was recorded by Wim & the above source information is correct. Some references have the source info as: CSC>Sharp MS20H = source info is incorrect. Not sure why this has been so confused for such a long time. The recording quality is very clear, sharp and dynamic. Something about the mix of the microphones & the placement & the PA system = a nice recording. One can imagine why this has been confused with DAT. Sound is that good. Highly recommended.

Maynardism: "Did you miss us? So, let's catch up, what have you been doing for the last...one at a time. Starting with the A's, this side. Ok, the B's, no A's, B's. Just kidding. We'll assume you've been working hard, staying in school."
Maynardism: "Thank you, for your, support. And your faith. More importantly, your faith. Thank you very much for that. It's been, quite a journey to this moment. And the only way we could make it here, is through communication. This song is called Schism. We've renamed the song, it's now called 'the dirty banana'. It goes out to Camilla ((Adam's wife))"
Maynardism: "Apparently, there's a lot of really nice museums in Amsterdam. We didn't make it to any ofthem. And we're ashamed of this. Anyone want this? (refers to a dirty banana on the stage). If you eat that,I'll be proud of you. But I'm not going to tell you where it's been. Rest assured it involves a red light. Or so I hear, don't know - first hand"
Maynardism:    "Um, I think there might've been a bit of confusion earlier. About the whole, 'banana' thing. Please, let me explain. We had some friends, they might have been from our record company,ard to say, they told us that we were going to go to a place where the Backstreet Boys had gone & watched some 'questionable activities'. We misunderstood. We thought they meant that the Backstreet Boys were there - performing questionable activities. Big misunderstanding. Now, that I would pay to see"
