I felt that way directly after the show & still do to this day in November 2009. After making it into the venue, I recall, I talked to a few friends then made my way to the front of stack on the left & stood there, leaning against the rail. This tour marked the last of the stack-speaker set-up that allowed for such great Tool reordings in 2001, 2002 & I took full advantage of that. I remember I was so geeked about using the CSB mics as I had just saved up & purchased them; this was my first Tool show with them. Still, to this day, I am pleased with the result. I did not record in LP2 but in LP w/a disc switch after Third Eye. The performance was on a Friday night & there seemed to be a buzz in the air - or else it was all in my head? Quite possible. There is a bit of phasing during C&U; but for the most part is quite clear - surprising as I had to literally fight the crowd throughout the performance. I've noticed that this source as well as the CSB~M1/oade source have been confused in the past thus I figured it would be worthwhile to do a definitive MD-M ~ torrent for the collectors out there who may care. For those that are casual listeners maybe you will dig this recording; I still listen to it even now... Maynardism: "Kalamazoo? Sounds more like Grand Rapids. Kalamazoo...interesting." Maynardism: "Thank you Meshuggah. Clive & Gustav for joining us on drums. Thank you very much for sharing this moment with us tonight. we realize that some of this information can be kind of overwhelming and we would like you to take care on your driving home & you don't masturbate yourself into oblivion, past out dead in your car. That would be a bad thing. We're hoping that you discovered something about yourself tonight. We're hoping that one some level you are inspired and/or healed - or just plain horny. We suggest you go home, curl up in front of a fire place, put on a copy of Caligula and have sex. Bring someone if you really want to make it interesting. Thank you for coming, thank you for having arrived. We'll see you on the other side."
