I've seen Tool perform twice and part of their act is, for example, not asking the crowd questions. They play their set list from beginning to end with minimum dialogue between crowd and performers in between. A veteran Tool fan also would know that it is not a necessity. Moshpits are perfect example of 'fans' not understanding Tool music. The visuals created by Tool themselves, which they show at their concerts provide something extra to the mere audio you would have if you didnt see them live.

Where was this? I find your comment that the Tool concert lacked crowd interaction. Maybe you are comparing a/the Tool crowd for some other fan base. Tool lacks crowd interaction? Where was this?
