Maynard’s vocals on this are beautiful. The rest of the band is in top shape as usual. Sick sound quality, I listen to this often in the gym! Thanks Tony
first off: HOLY SHIT! they were playing a bit of a new song they've been working on in the beginning of this. second off, thank you for getting invincible. its staggering how heavy the middle chunk of the song is, but joe baresi had adam record all the molten lava metal parts pretty much on his clean channel. baresi is a bummer, but here comes tony look to save the day with audio of how the song really sounds
I’ve gotta ask. Why does TOOL’s Allentown PA audio sound so spectacular? Your videos have the best sound out of all of the UA-cam posts but these Allentown posts are noticeably better. Is it the arena acoustics, your location in the arena, something I haven’t considered? I’m super nit-picky about sound quality so here we are. Would appreciate any info you can provide.
Ya lots of factors for sure. Where I’m sitting in relation to the PA (I usually try to get tickets generally up in front of Adam’s amps cause he’s my hero and I want to actually get blasted by his stage amps). I’ve had unusable audio from being just too close and essentially under the main PA. Way too much sub. The venue sound varies a lot too. That Allentown arena sounded absolutely incredible that night. LOUD. They also have a cabinet PA speaker that’s stage level off to each side of the stage to give all the people seated close and kinda under the main PA the mix. They sound really great so if your seat is off center and close enough (I’d say like about row 12 and up) you get a lot of that speaker audio and it usually sounds great. Got some great audio at the MSG shows last weekend…
By far the best Tool audio from the best two tours right here folks. If you never been, this is how they sound live.

Haha Adam's bluesy little intro song is so cute. Love it
Thank you so much for getting this. I listen to this more than the studio version
Thank you 🙏 Tony! more please 😎
