My conclusion: Tool is an alternate reality version of Phish where they dedicated themselves to rebelling against yuppies and neocons.
In all seriousness though, it was a really great show, and I'm not really a Tool fan. For the songs I was familiar with they were exactly as you hear on the radio; Rush level precision.
The opening act was awful and I won't dignify the name. Tool played a two and a half hour set which included a fifteen minute intermission. Also, I've never seen a crowd so engaged.
I was surprised by how much I liked the show. Not my favorite style of music but they really did earn my respect.
