One disc of this deluxe two-disc set serves up 74 minutes (eight songs) of live material and outtakes; the other offers a DVD (in Surround 5.1) of Tool's four grotesquely artistic videos, plus the bonus clip, "Hush," from their 1992 Opiate EP. Although there's little that's new here, it's put together with as much intensity and attention to detail as the quartet's other releases. The musical high point is the driving but delicate take on "Pushit." It's also entertaining to hear singer Maynard James Keenan in a Neil Young kind of mood on "Lame." This elaborately packaged set is really just a reminder of how creative and powerful this hard rock group can be. --Janiss Garza

 I guess I'm lucky! July 11, 2008
Keitha Mejia
I got this set as a birthday present when it came out. Thought about selling it on here because I'm broke. But I think I will keep it. I love Tool and I love this box set! It's worth the money if you are a die hard fan!
 It's not LAME June 11, 2008
J. Stewart
The final song on this CD is not titled LAME it is titled L.A.M.C. That is a C on the end.
 $100 for this pile of garbage? Eat it! January 17, 2008

Tool is an awesome band and this is a great package, but $100? No Way in hell. These outrageous prices are the reason people download illegally. I will never pay this price. NEVER.

This is a must have for any Tool fan. Anyone who really appreciates Tool should have this set. The live tracks on the CD are just amazing and the music videos on the DVD are something that everyone should see.

There are millions of Tool bootlegs of their lives shows available to download, or purhcase from your underground record store for about #30 a piece, all with horrible quality. I actually heard one bootleg where Maynard was sick and couldn't really sing at all.
"Salival" is i guess their "official" live release, that isn't all live tracks, but a few outtakes and studio tracks.
Basically, this is a live album done the way Tool does things, their own. One can never expect anything to be the way THEY want it to be with a Tool release, they make music and art for themselves, by themselves.
Nevertheless, the songs found on this CD are very good. The "Third Eye" rendition is done well. You can really tell that the band does NOT need all the studio tricks, I think that "Third Eye" sounds really good live, and not boring like many people are stating. The live version of "Push-it" is done really well with a whole new conception of the song, adding Tabla solos and more emotion and melody in the vocals and guitar. "Harry manback" makes a second appearance, there are some live covers(which very from the satisfactory Peach song, to the amazing cover of Led Zepplins "No Quarter"). "Merkaba" is a very experimental track that makes a nice addition to your Tool collection, as does the very last song "Maynard's Dick", a funny satire on the whole "Rock God" thing, a kind of parody song of the "Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll" mentality.
The videos are decent, but they are not why I purchased this box set.
I hear a lot of complaints as to why there are no "making-of" or "behind the scenes" stuff included, but in my experience, Tool has never been that kind of band. They have never preferred the spotlight or being idolized by their fans whom Maynard has often referred to as "sheep". Fans expecting some kind of all out "confession" to the inner workings of Tool will be very disappointed.
This is a great box set to own though
