In this episode of #TheDailyDoug, I'm giving the full report on my first Tool concert experience. I saw Tool at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on February 26, 2022. I was SUPPOSED to attend with my brother, but he was prevented from attending at the last minute. Tune in to hear my interview with Dan to get the scoop. And, I include some behind the scenes and concert footage...as well as my thoughts on the experience and the music. I hope you enjoy!

I was at the Newark show also, and my god what a masterclass of a performance. Every detail and facet was just a 10 from the musicianship to the sound mix to the lighting/projections to the performance to the everything. And they are all in the lates 50 and 60s! Unbelievable.
I was there too! Loved the energy!
I was also at the Newark show. My 26th TOOL show and my daughter's 8th.
They are getting better as time goes on.
Danny is so precise. No wasted movement.
Adam's mastery of feedback is incredible.
Maynard's voice sounds so much healthier now than even 10 years ago.
Justin, as always, was the low-key star.
My son, who is 40, and his 15 y/o son, are both going to their first Tool concert tonight in Pittsburgh. On their way now. My grandson was so pumped up when he walked out the door; was fun to see.
This is the best thing I've seen today. I haven't seen Tool since 2003 and I could have never shared it with my grandparents even then...You are very lucky.
Saw their last show at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh just before Covid, and it was a religious experience start to finish. I'm envious of your son and grandson!
They got a great show! I was at that show
I was there last night too as well as in 11/2019 right before.covid. took my girlfriend and was her first time and her mind was blown! LOL
What's your son look like? There were a guy and a teenager in front of me like 2 rows and he looked really proud to have him there! I even said to my gf about how happy they looked and how proud the older gentleman looked! LOL
Great to hear from your brother Doug, unfortunately, mine has just died. I'll miss the conversations we once had - he was a smashing guitarist and loved rock and roll. I'm nearly 70 and my ears have just recently woken up to Tool, I also now live in a retirement block and I'm very tempted to play them at full blast. Am I going to get a load of noise complaints or will they, like me, all start grooving? I'll let you know :) All the best from Devon, England.
terribly sorry to hear that, man! it must be tough, blessings for you and your family! ❤️
@@tee8552 Thank you for your kind thoughts, even death is a part of life. I hope he has gone to a higher place, and they have just received a really good guitar player and a nice brother :)
I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother, my heart goes out to you and your family.
@@Doug.Helvering Really appreciated and honoured Doug, his favourite player was Eric Clapton, and his son (flying back to Wales for his funeral) is a successful actor living in LA, having enjoyed your great country for many years. All the best, keep doing your superb reactions and challenging YT :), Michael.
I'm so happy you got to go see them brother!! 😁👍🏻
Oh crap I didn't realize you were at Newark; I would've been on the lookout for you!
Tool is amazing live. Had a pleasure attending their concert in Phoenix back in January 2020, before the world went crazy. No masks, can you imagine it. Actually it was the last concert I went live. Memories
HOLY CRAP MAN I WAS THERE TOO!!! It was also my FIRST CONCERT EVER. I waited 20 years to see a concert cuz I wanted to see something that really meant something to me and it was more than what I dreamed of…
Oh wow that's so cool
I was there too on same night! Wished I knew lol!
I am fortunate to see TOOL twice. 2017 in Bangor, ME and 2019 in Boston, MA. The Fear Inoculum concert was otherworldly. This is a special band...their music is unlike anything else. FI is meant to be listened to with a good stereo system at comfortably loud volume with big glass of wine and some smoke. Relax, settle into it and be transported to another place in another time. FI is a complex, multiple layered masterpiece where more of the music is revealed the more you listen to it.
I've been OGT since 97 and it's testament to TOOL to see their fanbase still growing after all these years. They practice what they preach "spiral out, keep going".
I just saw TOOL in Buffalo this past week. It was also my first concert since the pandemic. Last show before that was also TOOL in Toronto 2019. Nothing like a massive upheaval of humanity sandwiched between two epic concerts.
Glad you had a great time!
Have fun in Amsterdam DJ Dan! I m going too!!!
I've seen Tool 3 times. First supporting Rage Against the Machine in 1993, Reading 1993 and headlining in 2006.
i was at that show too, also my first Tool concert! Getting my Dream Theater "cherry" popped as you said in the video this Friday in NY!
aw shucks, I wish I would have run into you there!
You're the man, Doug. I've loved watching your musical tastes expand through youtube! Much respect
Timing is everything! Glad you enjoyed!
Maynard, from Tool, stands at the back of the stage to focus more on his singing and less on entertaining the audience visually. But also because he is an introvert. In addition, at the back of the stage, his microphone receives less noise from the stage equipment so he feels the overall sound is better.
Looking at how he goes with Puscifer and A Perfect Circle I don´t see him as an introvert
@@SJA962 That's because he learned some extrovert traits as well over the years
I'm just curious. Like, during the concert were you thinking in your head, "okay, they're playing in E Minor, okay they have switched to an A then to D and then back to E Minor"? Lol.... sorry, I just couldn't help myself 🤣..... all kidding aside, I'm glad you enjoyed the concert
That’s what I would do if I ever went to a concert.
BEATO
Ok. That is hysterical. We still love ya Doug.
Where did you see them Doug. It's great seeing you get into metal since it has the best musicians out if popular genres
I hope Doug wasn't offended by my joke. I thought it was funny. Maybe it wasn't IDK
Hey Doug. How about using your compositions as outros so we know what music you llike to write.
Prying open my third eye!!!
They debuted Culling Voices at my show in Sacramento, CA. Was so incredibly cool to see Danny play guitar.
I'm really glad to see you´re becoming a fan!
Just did my 22nd Tool show in Louisville KY. 3-4-22 so right there with ya. Best Tool show I've seen. Best band ever, nobody like them and im glad of that. Love them. Glad you loved it!
I saw Tool in Montreal in 2001. Same setup: Maynard in the back, Adam left, Justin on the right and the other guy in the center :-). I think it's great. What's important it's the music. I had a similar but more intense experience with Autechre. Not the same kind of music for sure. The guys (Rob & Sean) were in the dark and I don't remember seeing them but to this day it was the best concert I attended. Immersive experience with sounds. Regards, Luc.
Doug, I think I was at a distance in every video you shot since I was in section 18, red front which was on your left just below you. In retrospect, I wish I sat closer to you to take in the whole visual experience since the band just stood and played. I still had an excellent time and I hope you did too!
Newark was a great show, glad you got to see them!
Hell yes this is going to be amazing 🤘🤘🤘🤘
DJ Dan was my groove! He was a favorite of myself and my wife in the mid-90's! Loose Caboose was what drew us in and then he jettisoned into some really crazy rave-inspiring stuff!! It was him, Daft Punk, The Crystal Methos, Apollo 440, Moby, etc...
I was there too! Great show!
Seen them 14 times..since lollapalooza 93...enjoy the trip brother
Thanks Doug! Glad you enjoyed the show. I was in Sacramento in January for this tour. Probably shared space with DJ Dan since he is from Reno. Peace to all! :)
Glad you saw Tool. I was at the Newark show as well. The show was PHENOMENAL as usual. First time I saw Tool was in 2001 and I was blown away too. 2/26/22 was an incredible, amazing show. All of the band members were killing it. Happy you were there!
I just saw tool in Louisville, KY on 3/4. Saw them in 2020 in Memphis, and these guys are the best performing artists I've ever seen live. The visual effects are unbelievably amazing, but the music itself is unparalleled! Can't wait to see these guys again and they are true masters of their fine art!
Reverend Maynard would approve of all the church allegory in this lol.
Also saw Philly, Elmont and Newark this tour, then flew out to visit the store in Jerome. Friend and I had a Maynardcation. Newark was a great show. We were by the sound booth and they were drinking wine. We wondered if it was Maynard supplied >< we couldn't see the labels on the bottles well enough. They played Sober in Elmont. Philly we had 2 row center stage. Was right in front of Maynard's stare for CV. So many good memories around shows. Sorry yours didn't work out with your brother the way you planned but I'm sure if you haven't already, you'll make it happen. Glad you had a great experience in the end.
Not only am I seeing Tool this Saturday in Omaha, but I was at the same show that your brother was at 30 odd years ago. Small world
I saw TOOl this May at the O2 arena in London ,amazing show , i would go again at the drop of a hat :P
Doug, not sure if you know but Leprous is playing in Asbury Park at The House of Independents on Sunday March 6th. It's a cool place, I just saw Between the Buried and Me this past Sunday, it was a great show.
Can't wait for my second time seeing them in a week and a half. I'm sorry Dan couldn't goooo! 😞 But I'm glad you got to experience them, brother!
That drop after the lull at the end of "Everybody Needs a 303" was ridiculous!!! Still one of my favorites.
I've never gotten around to seeing Tool live but it looks like a real neat audiovisual experience.
As far as DJ Dan asking about what the next Tool song to cover will be, I'd absolutely love to hear you tackle Rosetta Stoned. I feel like I don't see that one come up a lot and I think it's a complex and hilarious song!
As someone who just recently got into tool, the buildup from lipan conjuring to rosetta stoned is the coolest thing ive heard them do and i love it
✈️✈️
“Well heck, he’s 14 years old!!”
Wasn’t expecting that either. Lol
It's better to see Tool alone than to have not gone! Hopefully you can both go see them another time.
I was also at the Newark show. “Don’t disappoint me Jersey!”
So the cake was not a lie after all...
Seriously glad you enjoyed the show. Hope you and DJ Dan get to hangout soon. So looking forward to Arjen's interview. Really one of my favorite current composers.
Awesome, so happy for you. I have tickets for Tool in Germany in April, but I think I will have to pass due to Covid, I am not the healthiest person anymore.
Saw my first TOOL concert in Anaheim, was such an amazingly awesome experience that I got tickets later that week for the Vegas show and it was just as amazing as the first time!
A Good thing about TOOL is that every band member gets a solo, the GREAT thing about TOOL is they all play it at the same time!
SPIRAL OUT!
🤘😎🤘
I was at the same show. Loved every minute of it!
Was at the New Orleans show. Quite impressive 🎭🤘🏼🎭
Congrats. Nothing like a TooL show
My boys and I saw them in DC four days before you, on 2.22.22 NICE
Just saw them in Buffalo on Sunday! Awesome experience!
Watching this has really increased my anticipation for my first Tool show in Birmingham, England in May.
Saturday at The Rock was off the hook. Amazing performance for The Doug to get dropped into.
It’s cool to hear another person say that Tool live changes you! I’ve seen them several times now & I’d say that the first, in the late 90’s, & most recent, just before the pandemic, were the two main “change my entire being” shows.
Hi Doug greetings from Mexico!
Holy cow, I had no idea you were at the Newark show… I was there with my 16-year-old son. It was my fourth time seeing Tool, but his first. They probably sounded the best I have ever heard them live! Wish I could’ve met you and said hello. I really enjoy your videos and your musical knowledge. Glad you enjoyed the concert!
Great footage, Doug!
Fun to watch, Doug. More TooL reactions please! You won't be disappointed.
Awesome video!! Really enjoyed the chat---have Dan back on!!
Getting my Tool cherry popped next week in Grand Rapids, MI. 🤘
No idea if someone already mentioned this, but for your brothers info, the show in Amsterdam is may 19.
Really looking forward to that one🤘
Was at the show in Pittsburgh last night. I've seen them several times at this point, and I have to say, this might have been the best show by them yet.
TOOL JUST DROPPED A NEW TRACK TODAY. 🤯🤯🤯
I saw Tool live in Hamilton, Ontario about 20+ years ago. The arena was filled with blue smoke LOL...we simply HAD to stop at Burger King on the way home 😂 Great concert, glad you got to see them 🤘
DJ Dan is OGT. For sure!
DJ Dan lives up to the stories. Much respect to you both.
Cool stuff
looks very cool..seeing Tool in may UK...VERY EXCITED!!
I saw the opening of this tour …Oct 15, 2019 & again Jan, 28 2022 …the first show had quadriphonic surround setup in the entire catwalk of the arena and Danny’s drums and pads would rip thru those in an awesome way … the later show was in a relatively small venue so I actually sat close enough to see MJK’s Merkin with my own eyeballs, so that was nice … but I can never top my first time …literally a healing experience!
33:30 I see they still have the same stage setup. Saw them in Edmonton in 2010. I think it was the best concert I've ever seen.
I was at the same show. Tool always gives you a great evening.
~ 20:00 funny to say that hes gonna go to amsterdam since theyre CURRENTLY doing a uk/europe tour
The Tool concert at the Mancuso Convention Center in Omaha in 1992 was my first Tool concert too. It was the tour for Undertow. Awesome!!!
I've actually never seen Tool live but, I did see A Perfect Circle and they were really good live.
I feel ya, DJ Dan, I got tickets to the Kansas show this month and won’t be able to attend. I already missed their Vegas show because I tested positive for COVID and couldn’t fly. Thanks for sharing your experiences and passion for Tool, we definitely have that in common.
Saw them in Orlando this year, mind blowing stuff!!
dj dan wearing the Tool army shirt, its official
I just saw them tonight in Pittsburgh!! What a fucking show! They are just so on point. Also Doug, it was my first concert as well!
Lol. Thunder rolls…
Wasn’t expecting that! Ha
First time I saw Tool live was just eight days after 9/11. It was an interesting and almost life changing experience.
Man my first Tool show was with my brother we were 29, 31 and the date was September 8, 2001 just 3 days before the world changed forever.
I was at the same show, and got the same shirt! 2XL however.
Its all about the music, been their moto from the beginning
All of the shirts have LA on the sleeve. That is the 'home' of the band. They are based in LA
I first learned of Tool about the time your brother did, though I was in my early 20s. I first saw them when they were on the side stage of Lollapalooza 3. Doug, you should ask Dan if he happened to see them at the famous Primus NYE show, where half the set was songs from AEnima, which wouldn't be released for another 9 months after the show. That's *my* favorite show of theirs, since we were some of the first people in the world to hear those songs.
I was at this show too!
i was at that surprised i didnt rnotice you was a great show i sat stage right it was a great show
Jeemus that's a big slice of cake! You probably should have got a 4XL size shirt 👕!
You should attend one of the forthcoming shows of IRON MAIDEN in US...........Legacy of the Beast tour is amazing and the setlist contains a lot of songs that you have reacted to. The show is beyond awesome , theatrical in a way.
Almost all their concert tees say Los Angeles on the sleeve! They did during the 2019 leg of the Fear Innoculum tour as well!
I missed my Orlando show because I just felt bad, unable to leave the house. Broke my heart and lost my cash.
PRAISE BE TO TOOL!
I'm from Reno. Hello brother!
I’m headed to Louisville KY tomorrow for tool
This was really fun to watch. Tool is one of my favorite bands although they’ve never played in my country so I haven’t seen them yet. I absolutely will at some point though.
Damn, I'm so excited to see them live in April now
A Perfect Circle concert was even stranger. I saw them before seeing TOOL this last time. They enforced the no phone/light rule completely at that show. The venue stayed dark the whole time. What they did was have lights come from underneath the band members and you saw like a shadow of them. Maynard was again in the back. It was the strangest yet one of the coolest concerts I've ever seen. TOOL was the last concert I saw before all the shutdowns. I see that Pusifer is coming this summer so looking forward to seeing them for the first time as well.
I was at that show too! What an awesome concert it was. :-)
I'm glad you got to experience it, too bad not with your brother. There is always next time
