Notes: Tool - 2006.05.31 Rockhal - Luxembourg City, Luxembourg media type: FLAC source: SONY ECM-717 > SONY TCD-D100 > Sony POC-DA12P > Philips CDR 765 > Master CD-RW > EAC > NERO 5.5.9.9 > 2nd gen CDR > EAC > WAV > FLAC (Level 8) taper: Kabi225 tradestatus: can trade disc 1 - 9 tracks - 64:01 disc 2 - 4 tracks - 38:54 Notes from taper: A venue like the Rockhal with a capacity of roughly 4000-5000 people (apparently not sold-out, at least it didn't seem sold-out) is therefore not what I prefer. So, the combination of a) my first Tool show, b) my first time at this venue, c) a "big" venue and d) the supposedly strict security measures made me slightly nervous despite my experience. Finally decided to start the tape early, set the levels rather low and to hope for things to work out OK, as I usually check my levels frequently during a "normal" concert. Also opted for a FOS recording (right side) and when the gig started I was about 5 meters away from the barrier without people standing in between, which soon changed, however, as people tried to get closer to the stage. In addition, some of the security blokes were starting to "collect" cameras, so after about 3 minutes into the opener Stinkfist I decided to move right up to the barrier, less than 3 meters away from the PA. [I guess that's what you call "hugging" the PA] The funny thing was that for most of the gig one of those security guys was standing so close to me that I almost got sick of his after shave. :P Whenever he or one of the others went for somebody with a camera I made a confused face and shook my head and had a hard time not starting to smile, very entertaining indeed. ;D Anyway, I managed to tape the entire show (103 minutes). The first couple of minutes are a bit "rough" with all those people pushing in from the side but as soon as I moved to the barrier the tape became very clean. However, the volume was definitely close to the maximum that the ECM-717 can handle, especially the bass drum was very boomy in places and I didn't think the PA mix was perfect, OK yes, but not great. Anyway, there was apparently one error on the tape (Murphy's Law apparently as I've never had problems with DENON tapes before); two minutes into Schism there are a couple of short digital dropouts. I've managed to repair most of them and unless you listen closely you will probably not be bothered by this. Being a FOS recording there is hardly any loud clapping and talking on the recording. Compared to most recordings seeded on DIME this is probably a bit worse-sounding. I've rated it an "A-/B+". If I actually was the only taper [which I cannot imagine] we've got at least one complete, OK-sounding recording.

Notes: Tool Rockhal, Luxembourg 31 May 2006 Core Sound Binaurals > Sharp MT77 MD > M-Audio 2496 Card> Bias Peak > quite heavy bass reducing EQ > Normalise > Flac8 Recorded by Duncan This is my master Notes: Those that know Tool boots will know that I've recorded Tool over 20 times dating back to 1994. This is not in my top ten of Tool gigs or Recordings but I just listened to a few tracks and for Tool collectors it's well worth the D/L I might be being a bit harsh but I've seen some awesome Tool gigs, this was just good. The bass (well bottom end) at this and all the 06 gigs I've seen was just pointlessly loud so I had to bring it down a lot. I'll be uping the two London gigs some time soon both of which are better than this. One thing in it's favor is that the crowds in Europe are a lot less annoying than the states It still get A ratings on db.etree.org so decide for yourself. If you grab it Enjoy Duncan a great great band and my all-time favourite but have they just gone off the boil a bit live? Set list: 1. Stinkfist 2. The Pot 3. Forty Six & 2 4. Jambi 5. Schism 6. Right In Two 7. Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned 8. Sober 9. Lateralus 10. Encore doodling 11. Vicarious 12. ®nema Don't MP3 or Sell but otherwise feel free to spread around But most importantly go and buy some Tool Cheers Duncan **Not including computer or music related expenses or time spent
