Notes - by Galen 2024: There are a couple incomplete and rather poor videos floating around on YouTube which, maybe, one would want to watch I don’t know. They are not great. There is also an ‘unknown’ source which is, if you listen to it, an audio sourced from one of the videos. This is the only confirmed source with information.
Notes - by Galen 2006: Nice recording, overall. Clear, concise & enjoyable throughout. The bass, like the majority of 2006 Tool shows is a bit intense but the microphones handled the SPL pressures like a champ. Minus some instances of crowd interaction AKA singing/screaming, I assume some many people will find this to be an entirely enjoyable recording with no issues. In my opinion, there is a lot of intermittent phasing of the microphones & MJK seems vocally "lost" on a few occasions.  I would agree that this is definitely a tasty morsel but, especially during The Pot & Ænema, it is clear this is an audience recording from somewhere near the sound board. Always interesting to hear the band perform in settings that are outside of their particular, overall, sphere of comfort (i.e. the USA). Tool's performance, according to some, leaves something to be desired from this performance - as much as I may agree to that notion in principle, this recording only seems to pick up a band that is powerful, focused on their craft & diligently attempting to rock.
