Tool - Invincible & Farewell [Live at Barclays Arena, Hamburg | Thursday, April 28th, 2022]

What an experience! After I was prevented three years ago and Tool were last in Germany in 2006 before that, I finally had the chance to experience them live. The concert was simply perfect. I have never had such a perfect sound at more than 100 concerts in my life. The voice was not lost in the mash of instruments. Everything could be heard clearly and distinctly. The performance Tool-typically perfectly rehearsed and demonstrated. Many songs were played that are rarely on the setlist, like Right in Two, Pushit, Sober or even the Grudge. So really an exclusive show! Only ’downer’: during the whole Corona time the measures didn’t bother me but on this unique evening I found it a real pity not to be able to stand in the front row and dance, sing and celebrate with other people jostling and sweating. But that too will come again :-) Rock-on-point. Likeable guys. The vibe of the whole concert was really unique. And what I like about this band in general: the music is rough and gives you a good kick, but at the same time it’s well thought out, harmonic and not trashy - but grown up. Maynard, Adam, Justin & Danny: it was an honor!
