Notes: No, this audio source has not been floating around in the trade circles because it does not exist because some dumb-ass made up the source info! This source information has been floating around as AT>MT831 but is in reality just a DVD>CD rip of the video source. There are a few different rips of this out there so track times/disc times may vary. Watch out, a lot of people think that the above source info is a source - no. I would only believe the above source info if I got it from the taper, I suggest the same thinking for others as well - at least for this "source"! This is a direct result of SHN generated trading as people DL it, do not verify or know source info & then incorrect information gets reported. Grrr. I do suppose that it says something about how good the DVD is, eh? This has some of the best audio I've yet heard on a Tool recording sourced from a video. Really nice. The video is quite clear, is focused and gets some good shots of the entire band. A nice professional taping job. This must have been transferred to DVD by the taper as the video is without even one 'snowflake'. I saw Tool the night before in Toledo, damn they were real, real good this time around. Really nice performance...the best setlist of the tour, in my opinion. Strong performance & good filming = a nice product. Also, there seems to be a few different audio rips of this show, all are basically the same.

Maynardism: "Good evening. Nice to meet you."
