Yeah I'm surprised about that too. They ought to do just separate shows and do them at smaller venues. Both of those bands would probably do a lot better and the shows would be much better if they were playing by themselves at a place like Ryman or Ascend Amphitheater when the weather's nicer.
JR! BR!
you have cut me deeeep. Tool is a fantastic show... and imo an great rock band...
They have also not toured since 10,000 days album in 06 07... lot of pent up demand.
From what i have seen so far on Ticketmaster... they are selling out a ton of large arena's really fast... New Tour starts Jan 9th... first venues are either sold out or almost sold out... including the one Dave23 might/is going to... and they only went on sale recently... and are not really marketing the shows at all.
Personally i love the band in my top 3 all time as far as bands are concerned... and so does my wife... it was one of the things that brought us together.... cant wait to see them live again after they have been out of the tour game for 6 years due to lawsuits!
If duluth venue is not special... and on a monday night... we will pull the trigger on Nashville... can fly the wife up to nashville and make a weekend out of it! Apprecaite the input on venues Dave, BR!
