Wow amazing!!! I went to the Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th shows...awesome graphics, special effects. lighting...and it was an amazing live atmosphere! Loved how they funked up the "Stink Fist" song...and how we sang "Happy Birthday" to the drummer Danny Carey at the Thursday concert.
The 13 minute Intermission made me feel that I was totally waiting for "Intermission" from the Aenema CD but it didn't come :)
Was very randomed at the end for both concerts...we were calling Tool to come back...next thing Katy Perry's pop song "Wide Awake" came on to signal that the show was over...someone told me that was Tool's idea of a "piss take" or was it Vector Arena wanting us to leave?
Bought both of the show T-Shirts as well

The Sound and Visuals were spine tingling. How can it be loud and yet you can still talk to your friends without shouting. My Sixth Tool Live and every one has been brilliant. But Vector Arena made it extra special.

Most amazing concert, atmosphere was pumping. Music was LOUD just how it should be, the crowd on the GA floor up the front were awesome, all of us singing along with Maynard. Was hard to take your eyes of the screens and remember to focus on the band and along with the light show made this one of the best concerts I have been to, and I have been to a few. Still buzzing nearly two weeks later. Would I go again if they came? Hell yes!

Tool was my first "Proper" Concert I have been too. The show was amazingly set-out, with the lights, screens and Music so well gelled together, it made for an awesome experience. Tool as a band have an impressive way of transitioning from song to song, without causing a lapse, or awkward moment. The Crowd was really well behaved too. They were all there just too enjoy the music and enjoy the show.

Tool was a great concert to go to! lots of good security and lots of interesting lighting displays and video clips. Was nice and loud like a rock concert should be. Only real complaint was the playing of a Katy Perry song at the end to clear us out. Bit of a downer after the buzz of tool.

The opening act Jakob were superbe, a great choice as far as I'm concerned.
Tool opened after a slight intermission and were awsome, my first concert at Vector as well as being my first Tool concert, so was great in many aspects.
Before going to Auckland I was in contact with both Vector arena and Frontier touring co, both companies were great to deal with replying to all my questions and emails as they were able to.

The greatest dissapointment was the constant use of security people having to remind people NOT to use their cellphones. Personally I did'nt bring mine, I respected the information given to me both via email and posters at the venue, To respect the band and NOT use it, its a great shame that others are incapable of being able to read the advice given to them, as in incapable to reading, Auckland must be ful of under educated people, shame as my concert event cost me enough, esp coming up from Invercargill.

As far as I'm concerned cellphones should be a full blanket ban, caught with one, one should be removed, NO questions. That would make it more enjoyable for us whom wich to attend and listen to the band, and not having to endure the constant torch waving of the security people.

Be aware thou, you are on the end seat, expect to have beer & other liquids etc spilt on you from young people with no regards to anyone but themselves. Also expect to have your limbs moved by drunk idiots whom have no idea on how stairs are meant to be used correctly, closey related to the phone users..

After seeing Tool at the BDO in 2011 i thought this night would be unforgettable but they were muffled the whole time they played for the price of the tickets and the fact that there were more dont's than do's the opening band should of been epic and you should of been able to hear Maynard sing I still love tool but was not the great event it should of been. Was there even a sound check?

I have been to many concerts in my 61 year beginning with Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong as a ten year old. Together with my wife who is similar in age to me, we "moshed out" at the very front. It was the most surreal experience and I would recommend it to all. We were treated with dignity and care by the other concert goers and with courtesy by security. Everyone was there for a fun time. The group were superb musos on the night. Together with the light show and videos it made for the complete all-time preformance.

Words.. cannot even describe the mastery, the magic and the mind blowing awesomeness that was Tool. I wept almost constantly. In the second half I was shaking it all about like the hokey tokey. Unforgettable. Worth every minute, every cent. I love them. I love them. I just wish it had gone on for longer.
