it was sunday night and i was basically still in a refractory period yesterday but i still need to talk about it, it was the happiest moment of my life stretched out for an hour and forty minutes and i smiled so hard i cried

i saw them 3 times in 2006 and 2007 and there were plenty there who had never seen them and this was their first opportunity as they've not been in england since, but in those twelve years i've imagined the next time i would see them so many times that it became this dream that i'd ever seen them again.

the entire front of the crowd in the like hour before they came on was a hippie love fest at a metal festival, which ruled. it helped that slayer's final ever uk show was on the other stage at the time so that all the people who weren't there to see tool... weren't there. they filled in when slayer finished but god, was that crowd special to be in.

i can't gush about it enough it was a perfect confluence of circumstance i'm still on a high and struggling to think about work or anything else. shit, i just got home from watching metallica and still all i can think of is tool two nights ago. god it fucking ruled.

also the new songs sounded awesome. can't wait for august 30th.

(but first, july 2nd i see them again in lisbon! part of me right now thinks there's no way it can be as emotionally satisfying as this one but i had to get a ticket to their own show as well as download, as the last time i saw them at download it was just fine. i never expected their festival set to be that blowaway)

anyway insert copypasta
