My 2 cents as well.

Hi Lenron.

I am not sure what your beef is. Is it that Tool fans prefer Tool over King Crimson? Makes sense doesn't it. If that is the case then I fall into that category. I saw Tool on the second part of this tour and was very disappointed that King Crimson did not tour with them to Montreal. Instead, I was assaulted by Meshuggah (sp?). Luckily I showed up only to hear the last 5 minutes of Meshuggah and was treated to one of the best concerts that I have seen in my lifetime (I am 44 years old now). Tool did everything right that night. The sound was amazing, the band was tight, the show was multi-media, Maynard was theatrical, and no demeaning encores where we are forced to beg for a petty offering from the band.

Going back to the concert review, don't forget that to most fans this was the first time that they had heard King Crimson. You must admit that complex music like theirs is difficult to digest on the first hearing.
