I saw it suggested that someone should ask Adam which songs he'd personally most like to play live if Maynard's vocals weren't the deciding factor in designing their setlists. I haven't seen if anyone had actually asked him that yet but I guess it would be interesting to find out.

Possibly the highlight of the whole experience was now to come. Incredibly Justin asks from the stage ‘What do you guys want to hear’. To my delight, a guy to my right shouts out Eulogy. Justin then comically replies ‘Nah mate’ to laughter from all of us. I was expecting him to then ask for another song until Adam walks over and agrees to try to give it ago. Danny calls out from behind his drum kit that he is up for playing it. Adam explains they haven’t played it in over a year so they might fuck up. We all reassure him that we don’t care. So the three of them play though Eulogy, stopping on one or two occasions, but quickly composing themselves to continue and see the song out in its entirety. Throughout the whole song you could see the smiles on Danny and Justin’s faces, clearly enjoying the opportunity of playing an old classic.

Agreed. I think their stuff in general doesn't date itself like a lot of the music that came out around that time.
Also, I always thought the production on Tool albums was top-notch. Detailed and hefty without being murky and bogged down.
