That he did, but I didn't hardly notice because at a Tool concert you are sucked into the zone. Lateralus live feels like a spiritual experience. Maynard as well sounded very good overall, much better than with APC back in July, where he sounded like he had lost ability, this particular Tool show wasn't prime like back in 2002, but he sounded good none the less with the help of some effects.
My seats were as well on the side of the stage in row 1, so I was maybe 20 feet from Danny Carey and Justin Chancellor and it was an interesting perspective to experience the show from that angle. The other times I have seen them have been front view, but much further back.
I forgot to mention that Intronaut was the opener and played 5 songs. Not bad at all musically, but lacking in energy. They're something of a tighter, less inventive Isis. I wasn't impressed enough to buy a record, but it was nice to have an opener that's not irritating to sit through. Wouldn't have minded a few more from them.
Reno itself is always enjoyable to visit, a trip to the games after a great concert. A good night out.
