    I was lucky enough to see tool in 06 in camden at the sony center.
    It was raining really hard and we were the only people on the grass.
    They would not let us sit under the roofed area so we sat all the way in the back against the fence and enjoyed Tool in the Storm in out rain jackets.
    Watching A Tool concert outside in a monsoon, with the Battleship NJ just off to our side was sublime, to say the least.
    During the show the singer stopped and looked right at us and asked if we were enjoying ourselves up there.
    I screamed 'Yell Ya! Tool Rocks!' and then said 'even more if we could move up inside' I guess it was raining too hard for him to hear that part.
    Couldn't even get a shirt.
    They closed the stands because of the storm.
    Was still a great show.
    Hope to get to see them again someday.
    Oh yea, TOOL STILL ROCKS!

    My old Alembic Spoiler bass had a Q filter that sounded a bit like a cocked wah pedal, you could just precisely add some higher mids to punch through any mix...
    Worked fine if you had the time to fiddle about with it in a studio, but for live it was very difficult to get thát sweet spot.
    I'd've preferred something like a varitone style setup, with fixed values - saves time to look for the exact frequencies.
