I was reading a 2012 interview blair did with Junior ( the lighting director that posts on the tool forum)...found this tidbit of information cool
BMB: Somewhat related to the last question, how much of the lighting for a Tool show is programmed as opposed to being improvised?
JUNIOR: Certain parts have to be programmed. Sequences and effects will look a lot better if you use the technology at hand. On the other side of that, there are certain aspects that will be emotionless if a human is not directly executing them. With Tool there has to be a human operating all of the key moments. Nothing is run from time code, and the band don't play to a click track, so the production has to follow their lead. Everything the band is doing is susceptible to improv (and mistakes) so the production has to be, as well.
Train Ticket coped. Pretty much have the trip all paid for except for the money i am going to blow while im there. :!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So 3teeth is listed as openers for SLC and Little rock, but rolling stone did an article on the 18th has their tour dates listed and only the SLC and little rock dates are on there. They also play at riot fest next week. I wonder what is going on with that.
@LOOT have you found anything that states they are opening in denver?
