"Last September, we had everything in place for this year. Tool had invited King Crimson to tour with them as a double header in the US in June and July. We met with their manager in LA and everything was settled. Until they unfortunately cancelled just before Christmas."

I can't really imagine how this would have worked. Tools and KCs touring concepts seem like polar opposites, from venue choice/audience size to stage production (King Crimson's shows are almost more classical concerts than rock shows, mostly in smaller/mid sized theate style venues, no light show to speak of, etc.).

It has honestly been my least favorite track on the album but seeing it live was fucking awesome. Descending was a bit rough through the first half but came together nicely once it picked up. I can't stop thinking it's just crazy how good they sound considering their age. Also as many have noted MJK sounds better than he has in many many years. It's not just auto-tune stuff... he seems to have more control over his voice and is more engaged with the music and coming from the heart more. Visuals were of course very similar to those from last fall but with some variation as well. I love the new direction they are going and it's just been amazing to watch the transition into the FI era shows. I've gotta say the surround sound thing is really cool as well. But mostly it was just so fuckin cool to hear nearly every song on FI ! I have a front row seat for tomorrow's show in Eugene, so hopefully the silly virus panic doesn't cause them to cancel it.

Heres the trick! Wait til everyone wants to sell their tickets to avoid the crowds, buy cheap Tool tickets, wait for Tool to inevitably postpone the shows. Go at a later date.
