Never seen them before. The venue's website had a warning that their light show might be too intense for epileptic folks.

I was talking to a friend at
I was talking to a friend at the local pub tonight and he mentioned he saw tool back in the early 2000's at the Rose Garden in Portland. He and a friend were smoking a joint and absentmindedly went to hand the last half to whomever was in the row behind. the guy behind him growled and said "fuck you and your joint you dirty hippie". Apparently he was a skinhead with face tats and hella methy attitude. He said another guy was doing laps up and down the stairs non-stop. Sounds like it will be an amped up, seizure inducing show for sure.

Have fun.. The only time I saw Tool was at bonnaroo years ago. Unbelievable show. The last time I saw laser lights like that was when pink floyd came to Birmingham. I suppose the acid probably helped, but man what a good time.

Missed half the opening act, a one man band DJ called Author & Punisher. Call me old fashioned, but it sucks bad. Bunch of noise. Terrible and loud. Glad we got here late.

He and a friend were smoking
my experience is that a tool crowd is very similar in some ways to a dead crowd...generally friendly, lots of ganja smoking, many many people are using psychedelics. they are a metal band so you do get some weirdos crossing over from thrash, death metal, black metal, hardcore etc.
but mostly folks are like less cheesy hippie versions of deadheads who wear all black instead of tie dye

Tool was good. Psychedelic
Tool was good. Psychedelic modal jam heavy metal played loud. Killer light show. One of the top seven or eight I have seen. Rumor has it they have Pink Floyd's old light and laser rig, which they have augmented by a mosquito net looking thing draped on the outside of the stage for creepy projections and effects. Probably also keeps them safe from the spittle and what not from the crowd. Place was sold out.
>>>>their dumz segment is amazing
Yep. They did a second set and opened with Drumz. Good shit,

Coronavirus in Oregon: Governor to issue sweeping ban on gatherings over 250 people
Gov. Kate Brown announced an extraordinary ban on meetings of 250 people or more Wednesday night in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus. The prohibition will last four weeks. If it remains in place, it could have enormous economic implications for businesses -- like professional sports teams, concert promoters and other operations -- that depend on crowds of spectators.
Brown will offer more detail about the ban, as well as other strategies intended to stunt the virus’ growth at a press conference Thursday

The reason I ask about prevention methods ken is you can hardly go anywhere in Ct now without someone at the door squirting sanitizer on you or toweling you and your cart off as you enter any public building.

I saw Tool in November- I got
I saw Tool in November- I got way too high and wasn't able to enjoy myself. I felt the band was sloppy as there were a few points where the tempo was sped up and the band sounded tight. There were also a few points where it felt too structured/forced. YMMV and my experience was, admittedly, altered from 4 hits of acid.

I guess Washington has implemented the same precaution. I got an email from Hayes Carll saying that only the first 250 people would be allowed into the show at mcmenamins elks temple last night. I was already planning on skipping his show in GP this Saturday anyways.

Some cool shows popping up
Some cool shows popping up because of this. Last night's Patti Smith show at the Moore Theatre was cancelled, so her guitarist, Lenny Kaye, quickly booked a gig at a 150 person venue in Belltown. One of my employees has a friend who was getting him in. Curious to hear if Patti dropped in.
