Band was great, venue seating was lacking
Save Mart Center - Fresno
Tool was amazing, as expected. The venue was clean. Bathrooms are easy to find. Concessions are easily accessible. Security personnel were highly visible. Parking was easy and well managed. The lady at bag check was a little overzealous, but better safe than sorry, so that can be overlooked. Here comes the negative: the seats are so small & close together it was uncomfortable trying to keep from constantly touching either the person to the right or the person to the left (a complete stranger). I was always encroaching on the space of one or the other (none of us were big people). There was no room to put my drink down, especially with everyone having to get up every time someone needed to go to the bathroom or concessions. Cup holders would be nice. Someone behind me spilled their drink which flowed down below my seat wetting my friends purse. Luckily, it was a clear throwaway she bought for the show. Unfortunately, the poor girl next to me got her jacket wet. Which was gross. Hopefully next time a renovation is on the table, they consider giving ticket buyers a better experience rather than crowding in as many seats as they can. I’m betting chances of that are slim to none, but since I’m being asked for my opinion, here it is. Please consider.

Best of Four
Footprint Center - Phoenix
This was my 4th time seeing Tool and this was by far the best. Elder was an amazing opening band and I've been listening to them since the show last week! Tool is always the best!!

Not what I expected
Save Mart Center - Fresno
I didn't feel like Maynard was into the crowd. Promised to let us photograph on last song, then never announced last song. No encore. Started late, ended early. I had been waiting 30 years to see this band live, and it was a bit of a let down for me. Flipside; Danny was so amazing and always seems to wow the audience.
By Always awesome!

Always awesome!!
Save Mart Center - Fresno
Show was great, but felt too quick. Played a few of my favorite tool songs. I wish we can record, I get being in the moment but you also want to show a clip of the great show to friends and family, and just for myself! I didn’t like that I had to hide my bag in a bush because I wasn’t allowed to bring it inside the venue!
Tool on Tour
Nothing about Tool's dark, prog-leaning music is orthodox — and neither are the rock band's concerts. Unlike most vocalists, Maynard James Keenan prefers to hang back away from the front of the stage. Sometimes he's shrouded in darkness, and other times he's illuminated by colorful, immersive videos — and lets his bandmates take center stage. That frees up Tool's instrumentalists to let loose. Drummer Danny Carey pounds away with both finesse and aggression on a massive rig, while guitarist Adam Jones and bassist Justin Chancellor thrash and slash in mesmerizing ways.
Tool are no strangers to the road. In fact, they've learned from the best. In the 1990s, the band toured with groups like Corrosion of Conformity, Rage Against the Machine, and White Zombie, but grew popular enough to headline Lollapalooza 1997 and even do gigs with heroes King Crimson in the early '00s. These days, Tool are known for headlining festivals like Epicenter and Chicago Open Air — that is, when they're not headlining (and filling) arenas on their own tours.
Tool in Concert
Tool have their roots in Los Angeles. Frontman Maynard James Keenan moved to the city in the late '80s and, after a stint playing with costumed rockers Green Jellÿ, linked up with drummer Danny Carey and guitarist Adam Jones.
Together, the newly christened Tool made enigmatic rock music that incorporated elements of metal and prog and tackled somber subject matter in their lyrics and with elaborate, artistic music videos. The group's music resonated with audiences: Breakthrough songs such as "Sober" and "Stinkfist" were Top 20 rock radio hits, while 1996's Ænima LP peaked at No. 2 on the charts and included "Ænema," which won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.
Tool took home another trophy in that category in 2002, when "Schism" won the prize. This win reflected that, unlike many of their '90s contemporaries, Tool saw their popularity only increase in the ‘00s. Both 2001's Lateralus and 2006's 10,000 Days hit No. 1 on Billboard's album charts, while "Schism" and "Vicarious" topped out at No. 2 on the rock charts — paving the way for Tool's first chart-topping tune on rock radio, 2006's "The Pot."
