Was that really Maynard screaming at 7:33-7:35?? If so, very different tone than he's used to hitting, if ever....
Though Frank must have definitely been a friend of one of theirs to have scored this gig, you can tell even he was overwhelmed by it at the end. It's got to feel amazing to be able to play with really skilled musicians instead of whiny, pissy has-beens like who he works for now....
i love this video, for the sole reason it shows how amazing TOOL is, first 3 minutes with frank kinda sucked, then he gets up and shakes danny's hand, he goes back to his set and begins to play again, and its amazing from there on out, its like he was blessed by the touch of danny's hands and could play better
i was there in the front it was the concert ever... i've been following them for nearly 20 years i've grown as they've grown and they just get better and better... they're way over due for an album, lol
Never heard of Frank ... Sort of embarrassing to watch him goof like this. Love how Maynard is just watching him at 8:00. Very strange choice to have this guy bash on the drums. Surprised they would entertain this? But hell, when you are Tool, you do what you want I guess.
tool is my second favourite band but..seeing a drum "duel" live was extremely disappointing. always have 1. the opposing drummer's mics turned way down so you can barely hear them, if at all. 2. some sort of godly lighting on danny and shitty lighting on the other guy. seeing a duel like this is essentially seeing tool get together and spit on another musician's talent. danny's good enough to beat anyone they tour with in a duel... why not just cut the crap and make it fair?
@ace76543 i don't think the lighting was shitty neither frank's mics... i think that he just isn't tool... seeing him showing off like that on stage infront of danny and maynard .. he just didn't fit in...but thats just my opinion ofcourse
@ace76543 idk brann dailor from mastodon is an amazing drummer. they actually have a video of them both druming some where on here. but yea brann is amazing.
Dunno who the other drummer is but christ I think he fucked the song. I mean, this song is GREATER than him on so many levels. He shoulda chilled out.
First off, THANK YOU for posting these videos, you have done a great service to Tool fans everywhere.
Second, please don't ever take the camera off the drums during a drum duel. The lights and visuals at this point are remotely secondary to the action that is taking place on stage.

I was drummer in a tool tribute band so I know a lot about these guys and I can't believe they let this guy up there it looked like he was tryin to take the song somewhere else but it just wasnt workin out but fuck tool sounds great and there light show gets better every tour! AMEN TOOL!
i went to a tool mini show in nyc ( second last of the mini tour) while in line for any left over tickets, I saw chris meloni and his co-star from oz (the guy who play beacher and who was in waynes world as the guy that say "i love you man" waynes buddy). Thats was cool, so they were like 11 rows in front of me on the floor at this 2,250 venue named city center (mostly theater stuff) but trey and mike gordon of phish were six rows behind me and alex grey was second row. $140 & tool, amazin
@Thetawaves222 Chris Maloney is the actor who plays Elliot on Law And Order: SVU. He has been in a ton of other stuff too, including the cafeteria cook Gene in Wet Hot American Summer.
my impression of justin right b4 this song." god dam mothafuckin son of a bitch. if i have to play another 13 minutes of this over and over ill shoot myself""...lol jk

this was an insanely difficult show to be at. the mud was epic. i'll guarantee you the cameraman was 6 inches deep in mud, just like the rest of us. great show. that drummer totally ruined lateralus tho. i'm pretty sure to play like that, you have to be wasted.
That was pretty incredible. Next time I am going to buy floor tickets. It is just a waste to watch Tool from the seats where you cannot even move because there are people surrounding and crowding you.
this was sickkkkk, i was really close and covered in mud by this time. im pretty sure that fist pound danny gave frank and then the pat on the head from maynard allowed him to harness god like greatness haha great video
watched it again after you said that, he wasnt doing to well before that, when danny gave fist bump, he was getting there, then it was amazing after maynard came and touched his head, i think we know the cure for cancer aids, it isnt magic johnsosn's money, its TOOL!
great video, nice quality. It was a sick live concert I am glad there is some video. Frank wasnt so great at first but then he started rocking out with Danny and complementing his drumming well.
Thats not the first time they've done a drum battle and its also not the first time that the competitors drums weren't as loud.
I think of it this way, if he wants to stay for the rest of the song, the dude that has to play a certain passage has to be heard more (Danny in this case) and the other drummer (Frank) compliments by adding on the top.
As far as I know, its always a bad idea to mess with sound levels live.
And, well face it, Frank did pretty good without being mic'd that much.
You are 100 percent correct on messing too much with sound levels live... ESPECIALLY with drums. However it's not just that his drums aren't loud enough, but it's also that his kit has a completely different kind of sound. It's not meant to be loud and thunderous, it's a little more a "subtlety" kind of kit, meant for accenting ghost notes, and complexities. IOW Frank's kit sits in the treble more. So regardless of sound levels, Danny's low booming kit will always prevail.
Thank you so much for posting these! I was pretty far away and my view was somewhat limited. Tool is by far the best live band on the planet! This was my 6th Tool concert and they are always amazing
