Notes - Galen: Great recording of a performance that is loose but tight, relaxed but intense, professional but enjoyable & is an accurate capture of Tool seeming to have fun on stage. The recording itself has a very live, ambient feel to it which is actually quite enjoyable even though it is not my personal favorite type of taping style; Front of Stack. This particular source captures, very, very accurately I think, the feeling of being at a Tool show. Unlike many US Arena shows the vocals from this performance are clear, clean & loud. A lot has to do with the equipment used by the taper. Unlike so many DPA recordings the low end is not too intense in regards to lower-level frequencies. Although up against a lot of other high quality recordings, this particular source could very well be one of the best captures from this leg of the tour. All in all, highly recommended.
