That bootleg is the best sounding live Tool I've ever heard. That must have been beyond amazing I'm sure. I listened to that show three times last night. To have been there would have been super crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just purchased this lot of Tool Lp's. I know it's a hit and miss affair with 10,000 Days and Ænima, I am more confident about the quality of the Lollapalooza disc but I am taking a plunge. Here are the Discog listings for what I bought. Any informed opinions on the first two are greatly appreciated. https://www.discogs.com/Tool-%C3%86nima/release/2434710 https://www.discogs.com/Tool-10000-Days/release/2324248 https://www.discogs.com/Tool-Lollapalooza/release/3479755 I've heard a rip of the 10,000 days. Not bad but definitely a bootleg. I have owned a real Ænima and a boot. The boot sucked. Kept 24/96 needledrops of the original, but not the boot. I'm curious how people like the Lollapalooza boot? I have cd flac of it and it sounds ace, does the vinyl boot sound any better? Is the bootleg the edited audio? My Big 12" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why I grabbed the vinyl. It has had very good reviews, at least what I have read. Edited May 24, 2016 by My Big 12" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossdj26 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I picked up a green colored copy of the Salival boot at my local shop. Actually sounds pretty good. My Big 12" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Big 12" Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) My Ænima and 10,000 Days boots came in today from Discogs. I have listened to Ænima all the way through and found it to far better than I expected in the sound department. I have the translucent gold version. I listen on and through a Technics SL-L20 Linear Tracking TT and an Onkyo tuner/amp and two vintage Pioneer HPM-60's. The HPM-60's lean heavy in the bottom end, so along with a small tweek on the Onkyo tone control, it seemed to balance out quite nicely indeed. Ænima is also very crankable I might add. I bought them, $41.99 for 10,000 Days and $39.99 for Ænima. The seller is https://www.discogs.com/user/apextheory and he/she packs them for shipping better than any distributor. I am on side 3 of 10,000 Days blue/marble and this one may be a wee tad brighter, but it is quite a powerful digital transfer to vinyl, and a very nice listen as well. In the end I think both of these pressings are worth the money. Both came flat, look marvelous outside of the very bootlegged artwork and sloppyassed labels on Ænima. The vinyl was noise free for Ænima, and just a click or two thus far on 10,000 Days which I immediately stopped and re-cleaned the side removing the offending debris on those passages. No, they aren't original all analog,if that was ever possible in the first place outside of the first two albums, but I think they are pretty damn sweet, and I'm proud to own them until such a day comes these are ever repressed and pressed proper. I will recommend both of these for those thinking about buying, I am enjoying the F**K out of them. Great bottom end through my modest system and terrific punch! NEXT: Lollapalooza arriving after the holiday. Pics below... Edited May 29, 2016 by My Big 12" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickydenim Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I have the 10,000 days boot in red and the pressing is horribly noisy. The audio itself sounds quite good when it IS quite however totally ruined by near constant noise. Might try find a blue then!

I was definitely not expecting them to sound as good as they do, and be as noise free for my tastes. Very happy here..

vinyl addict Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Yeah the reviews go both ways with 10k days. It's a crap shoot regardless of what color you buy. Anyone that bought the Undertow promo boot have any SQ comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price was nice, at least for me and I have waited for at least since 2008 to pull the trigger on any Tool vinyl bootlegs. Thanks largely to this thread, I wound up making a pretty decent choice in pressings. I also noticed that Lp 1 of AEnima was slightly less weighty that Lp 2, which felt very much like it was 180g. No big whoop, but another small anomaly I noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No big whoop, but another small anomaly I noticed. The 2nd LP of my AEnima boot had some pretty gnarly surface noise that completely ruined it, which sucked cause listening to the first LP I thought, yeah, this was money well spent and then was gutted by how terrible the 2nd LP sounded. Took it back to my shop and they swapped just that LP out for me with the last copy they had in the back. We tested it and that one plays and sounds fine. So definitely a wide variety of experiences to be had with unofficial products like these, but I also have that gold translucent pressing and would recommend it as well.

"I Smell Marijuana" is what I am naming this show thanks to Maynards quip, during "Opiate" I do believe.
