Notes - Galen: Whoo-ee this is one smoking hot recording. Damn. If I could throw some ribs on this source (a bit of some Jack Daniels bar-be-cue sauce too) those tasty ribs would be nicely smoked. This is a crisp, clean, ambient-but-close-sounding recording that not only captures a good performance by Tool but also has the 2007 premiere of Flood. Although Flood does not have the extended intro that the band performed at latter dates... well, Flood is Flood. Yes, I understand that is a very fan-boy response but try & argue my logic (try): Flood is Flood. You can tell that this took the audience by surprise. I, myself, have met + taped with this particular taper (nice fella) & I can imagine his shock - not just of hearing Flood but that Tool actually mixed the set this night. So if you are looking for a beautiful recording of Tool mixed with a real 'treat' (much cooler than having two members of King Crimson on stage <sorry TX>) then this source is definitely for you.
