It would appear, judging from the setlist being relayed to the mod of the "Toolshed":http://toolnavy.com/showthread.php?t=81918 live forum, that Tom Morello joined Tool on stage tonight during Lateralus. Oh those lucky bastards...
Just found some video of Tool and Tom Morello playing "Lateralus" at Bonnaroo. Tom jams it out for about 4 minutes and takes a phone call in the middle.

I made this list as much for my own curi...
First off, let me say that although Tool is one of my all-time favorite groups I have never had the pleasure of seeing them live. It seems like every time they tour I can't get free to check them out. All I can hope is that when I do finally get to see them live it can be at least half as good as this show was.While the whole DVD is great I have to say that the one standout has to be Lateral...
