Collective Unconscious.org - The source for live Tool recording, fan reviews

07/13/2007

Source B: Video - Canon ZR800
Taper: Tool Zeppelin
Gen: 1st from Master
Image from DVD: Here

Notes: There apparently are two different versions of this source floating around; one is a dual layer DVD with the original audio. The other is on 2 DVDs with an unknown audience recording synched with the video. The audio synch was nicely done & also features a different menu-screen, however, cu.org tends to focus more on the ‘original’ of the sources. I will say that for the overwhelming majority of people the audio synch is the way to go. The original audio source can be a bit abrasive as there definitely is a fair amount of bass + high end distortion. Perhaps we are talking preferences but I don’t really mind that all that much. Now, I believe this is one of this filmer’s first attempts at stealthing a Tool show. Wow. Just one hell of a job. Being an audio-only taper I really think that tapers who film are either A) very ballsy or B) chemically imbalanced. However, when you can walk out of a show with a video of it – that kind of takes it up to another level now doesn’t it? The film-job is smooth throughout, actually, and he did a nice job of capturing the stage & did not focus on MJK the entire time. Beginners luck? We’ll have to stay tuned for more from this taper now won’t we?
