Amazing! Thanks! Missed it yesterday and have been looking for a recording!
But why does Justin’s bass still have the price tag hanging off the tuner?

I think they're using back up gear and no effects here. I also think Justin may be using a Wal Mk1 here too but hard to tell.
I wish i could call a Wal Mk1 “crap gear”. Can’t wait for Detroit and Grand Rapids!
Looks like a pretty good set list… my favourite when I last saw them was pre new album and they ended with an encore of stinkfist… to say the crowd went wild was an understatement
Agree that it’s definitely a crowd pleaser. But i love the fact that they now feel like they can play shows without playing Stinkfist and 46&2 (not to mention also no Vicarious or Schism) and still leave people happy. Being a longtime fan, i’ve seen all those songs several times, going back to the Aenema tour, and am happy to see new additions to the setlists!
Just watched a vid of Right In Two, and Justin is playing the harmonics standing up! Doesn't look like he's moving his toe around to turn the tremolo on and off, so not sure how he's doing it exactly.
He's definitely doing something with his feet. Which video did you watch? There's one from toward the back of the floor it looks like, but there's one with a much better angle from above his side of the stage. Still far away, but you can definitely tell he's working something with his foot.
It's hard to tell of course, but it looks to me like he's just rocking his left foot back and forth to bend the pitch. I don't quite see his foot shifting over to turn a tremolo on & off. Regardless, it's rad that they're playing the song live again.
I’m guessing he has an expression pedal for his trem now. I’m 4th row for the Grand Rapids show, so hopefully i can see something then. But that’s still a couple months away.
I'm seeing Tool on the 28th. Sadly, I'm not blown away by that setlist. Still stoked either way.
If you're sitting 4th row on the floor? You won't even see the pedalboard from there.
I've sat 1st,2nd and 5th row many times in front of JC.
Side-stage 4th row you would have a good view tho.
Justin now has his trem right beside the Whammy. He may be pivoting his foot to turn the tremolo on and off. His timing does sound better on it, compared to older tour footage.
There’s a pretty good shot of his fancy footwork for this part on YouTube. It looks like he’s using both feet. Not sure what the right foot is hitting. Maybe the Boss Line Selector but it’s a little hard to tell.
I should’ve mentioned it’s at 1:30-1:45 timestamp.
Brilliant! I think you're right. Left foot on the expression pedal of the whammy, right toe tapping a line selector on & off for the tremolo.
If you look at the recent pic i posted and then your video link? His legs are much farther apart than where his LS2 is.
Unless they took it off the board to put on the floor at a comfortable distance to keep balance when switching.
There’s some sort of pedal to the right side of his volume pedal now. So that’s new.
