Rare that a vocalist can put it down live better than in the studio. The whole band are in that upper echelon of raw natural talent. This era, those first two albums are just perfect.
When you have a singer like him who was classically trained in every aspect of his singing and his band mates who are the same way. I say they're way better live than most bands of that Era, and all of them are right where they need to be.
Well said. Some people have brains which work differently, and can express feelings so effortlessly and abstract in an artistic way, I feel like TOOL and MJK possess that.
Too bad they refuse to record their live shows professionally. I understand they want it to be a unique experience, but I can't fly from Romania to their concerts, not all people can afford it. It's also a loss for the universal cultural heritage and for the next generations, but that's their choice...
i remember reading an interview with Paul D amour in a magazine and he said “i just didn’t see the point in practicing the same riff 500 times to see if it’s good or not” and that’s why he’s not the bassist in on of the greatest bands ever

Agreed! And Carey should be added to lists of best top 10 drummers ever. He hammers them, does all kinds of unique mixed up rhythms and is so precise and perfect on every set. Maynard is insanely talented and the whole band perfectly complements each other.
It’s not just that he’s amazing, he does it SO effortlessly. I watched the drum cam when he did Pneuma and it was amazing! He’s listed at the top 26th drummer of all time. I call bullshit. He needs to be top 5 or at least top 10. It’s hard to name anyone that does what he does to the level or better than he does it.
This legit made me laugh out loud! "Overly excited Third Eye dude" needs to shut the fuck up. Can you imagine if you were that guy?

(More silence, people start distancing themselves from your general vicinity in an obvious and exaggerated manner) You then proudly exclaim, to the 3 feet of unoccupied space surrounding you: "Haha, yeah so I'm kinda famous for constantly shouting THIRD EYE several times after every song finishes... to the delight of absolutely no one."

Maynard's face while singing and his gestures to direct you into his stories are unbeliavable. He can remain perfectly balanced ... never seen so much self confidence , like a Bodhisattva . His transmutation from the angry guy to the absolutely spiritual dimension of his Aenima stage characters is something beyond perfection
He looks like he is on Ketamine . Seriously . Ever try to walk on Ketamine searching for the ground with your feet having no reality of your equilibrium or time and space. Basically feeling like quicksand
@@CarrionPorkus had the same impression emotional control, tonal quality, breathing capacity and the uncanny pitch of his screams, all seem to be linked to information processing on lsd... maybe he wasn't on it on the actual shows but in the rehearsals or the composition fase... who knows... i feel it aswell...
I love that he hits every single note, every scream, every sustained part, every higher melodic section...and his voice gives out on the last measure of the last song. Kind of poetic really.
He sounds more impressive live than on any recording. And to the ass-hat nerd @Kevin Woolrich that had to chime in with "umm, excuse me, he didn't hit every note!!!" Fuck you. He hit damn near every note and you have no fucking clue how difficult it sound as amazing as he does live for a whole show. No retakes, no remastering, and he barely fucks up if at all. Here's some advice for you moving forward in your every day life: Shut the fuck up. People around you, will thank you for it.
2022 Tour and I just had the pleasure of hearing Hooker with a Penis and Opiate2 Live! Opiate2 was just released 6 days before my show. They sounded fantastic! When the time came he didn't wimp out on the screams. Much more screaming overall this tour than in 2020. I give it 3 thumbs up.
HA! so true! also, he manages to make odd time signatures seem like 4/4 by having people watching him dance. To 4/4 i mean. which is rare. Tool don't even have many SEGMENTS of songs in 4/4. SOBER is, entirely, so is STINKFIST. Oh, and from Undertow, BOTTOM, PRISON SEX... I found it awesome that a Band's FIRST ALBUM starts in 15/16 "Intolerance".. actually it's in 4/4, but the opening main riff is 15/16 followed by 4/4, and repeat 15/16 and 4/4. Who the hell does that these days? TOOL.
What blow's my mind is the song sounds exactly the same when he plays it now.. Just show how meticulous this band is about every single note, not only is it music.. it's a science.. MAGICAL. 🧙♂️
That's hilarious that he introduces Billy Howerdale as the guitar tech. For those who don't know, Billy Howerdale is the guitarist/backing vocals in A Perfect Circle. Just funny to watch it go that far back.
The original setlist comment seems to have disappeared (at least for me) so here it is again. 1:06 - Stinkfist 6:48 - Forty Six & Two 13:35 - Eulogy 22:58 - Hooker With A Penis 28:21 - Prison Sex 34:46 - Jimmy 40:57 - Undertow 46:39 - Sober (Intro) 47:56 - Sober 53:29 - H. 1:00:10 - Ænema 1:08:07 - Opiate 1:13:55 - Third Eye
drops his drum stick and doesn't miss a fucking beat... he's the reason my drummer hates me at times bc that's the level I want at drums.. I guess we can all dream
shit its been a min since watching it but it was more likely a broken stick he was replacing it was jus seamless as fuck and not exactly like hes just sitting in the pocket ya kno.. ill be song title next time I watch
I've seen TOOL live 4 times but I regret so much that I never saw them back in this era when Maynard was out front doing his thing. Edit: Wow, 7 year old comment and now I've seen them 7 times. 2002 was my favorite but 2022 in KC from the 11th row was absolutely awesome. They nailed it and Maynard sounded awesome.
Anthony Lewis I don't think it's really stage fright.. sometimes for Puscifer when he's in character he's right up front stage. Idk what it is though. Maybe he just simply doesn't want to lol
Toolness1 those were the most violently sexy shows... pits were sick... I haven’t missed a show in nj or nyc since 1997... I’ve seen them at every venue.... his voice is pure sex.... hands down
In my 22 years as a Guitarist, I found in Tool the perfection I was looking for. To grow as a musician. I still don't have the words to describe what this band produces for me. I know that he borders on perfection in all his works of art
@timwins31 I read he gets vertigo from the crazy light shows these days, and when it gets bad, he moves his mic stand into a certain position, which is the signal to switch to the less intense light display. It's shitty. Aging sucks, but at least he's not any less passionate about any of his projects like people have assumed.
Of all the things I'm grateful for with Tool is how after 30 years of me listening to them they are actually decent people. People complain about them not letting people have cameras and phones, but i respect that. At least now, Maynard lets everyone record at least one part of the show. Whomever got this great of a we called them "bootlegs" deserves a medal. This is one of the best I had in my collection. These weren't available at a click back then
Mike Thieman Jr In my top 5 tool songs. I’m just on a journey when I listen to that song. Especially during the “hold your light” section. It’s just like riding the rhythmic rise and fall of giant ocean swells.
@@scottmyer7923 BEfore 96 was a lot better. I remember seeing Helmet/RATM/Tool/Fishbone back to back in 1992/93 ( forgot the exact date )... IN YOUR FACE times
Plenty of people had Nextel push to talk and Motorola cellphones in 1996.. They also had 150 -- 250 monthly phone bills.. Lots of small business owners, financial workers, realtors, contractors, service techs, and the more affluent gadget consumers had cell phones in 1996..
What I would give to see the Tool show I saw at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Maynard half white, half black dancing like a snake onstage during the Aenima album release......
@@pyocopyocoultra2047 having the drummer listen to a click trick keeps the show on a consistent beat through the whole song. While playing without a click track make the beat a bit more flexible and have the band speed up and slow down the tempo at will. Not just 1/4ths and 1/8ths
I was a freshman in high-school when an older buddy forced me to go to this show with him. Never heard of Tool before. I left that show and immediately started saving for a guitar. I had to know how Adam did the intro to Stinkfist. The controlled chaos of the feedback intrigued me. Im so glad I got to see this live. I didn't even know the songs, but I remember when Maynard went into the alternate lyrics for Prison Sex I got the chills and knew this was MY BAND. "I thought I could wash the stain away". That lyrics is so hard!
I thought I could make it end I thought I could wash the stains away I thought I could break the circle If I seeped right into your skin So sweet was your surrender Having become one I have become my terror And you my precious lamb and martyr
I want to invent a time machine and go back in time to attend this show then repeatedly stomp on the head of the man who keeps screaming for them to play Third Eye.
I was at this show! Good to relive it again ,this was probably my 4th time seeing tool back then. I like being able to see the whole band and they're not all behind screens or up on a dark stage.Awesome!
About 86 minutes into this show, Maynard first realized that maybe he couldn't always match his studio performance. God bless him. Also, thanks for this upload. I recently caught my 50th TOOL show, and these guys still bring me to tears. Amazing stuff, every time.
When I think of tool this is the era that is dear to my heart. Maynard’s stage presence added so much to their live performances during these years. Perfection isn’t easy to achieve but god damn it’s beautiful to watch.
@@riffgroove this might be an old/young thing or maybe you just dont do drugs, but the last tour with the bead curtain and just the shadow of maynard was a straight up religious experience. The church of light and sound that they are currently going for would honestly be worse with maynard taking all the attention in front. The fact that he goes full costume and hides behind a curtain basically means he agrees with me.
@@friedsensei I haven't gotten to see them on tour for their new album yet. I HAD tickets to see them in May of 2020 before Covid sent the world into hibernation. I will be seeing them finally in October. But over the years, I have seen TOOL a total of 11 times, including the first time at a small club right when OPIATE first came out. I can confidently state that the pre-Lateralus shows when Maynard performed at the front of the stage were much more memorable.
@@riffgroove yeah it could just be one of those things where the version you know is the best, but I saw them on the last tour and it has nothing in common with a club show. with floors in the stadium show its the most well curated audio/visual experience possible. The alex gray art alone is worth the price of admission, if you know his paintings its like a 3D expanded version of his art that is just made entirely to flow with the set, very little of the band on the screens
The more of these early shows I watch, the more I understand why Maynard doesn't want to be in the front of the show... The whole band is so equally amazing and so equally important to every moment of every song, it makes sense to give everyone a fair look. Tool is a BAND, not a singer and his musicians! Still, it is amazing to watch Maynard become the song, then snap back at the end like 'oh, right, there's people here!' He's such a great, unselfish performer!
Not to mention his age and the fact he had to have a hip replacement from years of stomping around and awkward movements. That’s probably the main reason lol
"Unfortunately for you that means we're not polished on this shit yet so you get the worst show of the tour" Proceeds to put on one of the greatest performances of their lives.
I hear yelling and nonsense , drummer banging and making noises like garbiage cans getting smashed, every song sounds like Jane Addictions Caught Stealing, a bad version of it.
He does, and in a way that's pretty interesting. It's not a powerful screaming night like there's so many clips of in the era, but the singing and softer parts are basically the best I've ever heard them live. Seems like all the focus is put in perfecting the new song, not the raw energy. I like it.
I consider myself extremely lucky that I got to see Tool several times in their prime in the 90's. Every show "changed my life" in that they are my fondest memories and I truly had a spiritual experience at every show. It was my church. Church for an atheist. When I saw this tour he was painted blue in white boxers with orange florescent dots all over his body. Oh, and I was tripping balls. Fan-fucking-tastic.
So dope. I have been a huge fan since I was 12 , 39 now and just out of rehab. I got to finally see them a week ago. A dream come true. They always change my life and come when I need them for spiritual uplifting and connnection, it’s crazy. He said in an interview once their songs may or may not capture you , depending where you are at in your life, and for me it’s been my entire journey. Thank you Tool for saving my life.
I believe in extra terrestrial beings not God. Tool is very spiritual to me. It's cool that u had cool experiences seeing them back in the day. I'm a young fan but I been jamming tool since high school. They are true music legands

Maynard's face while singing and his gestures to direct you into his stories are unbeliavable. He can remain perfectly balanced ... never seen so much self confidence , like a Bodhisattva . His transmutation from the angry guy to the absolutely spiritual dimension of his Aenima stage characters is something beyond perfection
The Grudge is a perfect example of those switches. Rosetta Stoned too
He looks like he is on Ketamine . Seriously . Ever try to walk on Ketamine searching for the ground with your feet having no reality of your equilibrium or time and space. Basically feeling like quicksand
Could be lsd, and I have figured out how his dance's interact with the music, his facial expressions are still interesting though
@@CarrionPorkus how the hell could he perform on lsd, if he did that’s incredible
@@CarrionPorkus had the same impression emotional control, tonal quality, breathing capacity and the uncanny pitch of his screams, all seem to be linked to information processing on lsd... maybe he wasn't on it on the actual shows but in the rehearsals or the composition fase... who knows... i feel it aswell...
To whomever recorded this, WE thank you...

Did anybody else notice the drums in the Sober Intro is somewhat similar to the drums in reflection?
it's the people like you man, that take the time out of their day to do this that i really appreciate
I wish I had a time machine to witness this in person omg it’s so beautiful
It was great, but it's nothing next to now. Now. And now.
also
Most def. And also to choke out the "third-eye" guy
@@japas haha he had me cracking up.
46&2 gave me chills. Sound is awesome. Maynard's 🔥. Light show not missed.
o'keef foundation
Agreed. It is cool, but not necessary.
I don’t even notice till your comment!
I love that he hits every single note, every scream, every sustained part, every higher melodic section...and his voice gives out on the last measure of the last song. Kind of poetic really.
He doesn’t hit every single note though.
probably lost count but I felt like he was expecting to finish sooner the last ones were like "wait we still doing this"
He sounds more impressive live than on any recording.
And to the ass-hat nerd @Kevin Woolrich that had to chime in with "umm, excuse me, he didn't hit every note!!!"
Fuck you.
He hit damn near every note and you have no fucking clue how difficult it sound as amazing as he does live for a whole show.
No retakes, no remastering, and he barely fucks up if at all.
Here's some advice for you moving forward in your every day life:
Shut the fuck up.
People around you, will thank you for it.
@@vapid.animus Holy shit you got triggered hard dude. Take a breath, relax and find some constructive use for that anger.
2022 Tour and I just had the pleasure of hearing Hooker with a Penis and Opiate2 Live! Opiate2 was just released 6 days before my show. They sounded fantastic!
When the time came he didn't wimp out on the screams. Much more screaming overall this tour than in 2020.
I give it 3 thumbs up.
Legend has it that man is still there, screaming "THIRD EYE!" every 10 minutes and 15 seconds.
Maynard is a genius. Just look at his body language, he doesn't give a shit its all about expression. It's a beautiful thing to witness.
28:21 the fact that the fans recognize the screeching of the bass strings
Best band ever, cant get enough
top 5 all time @ least
Top 3 for me. Arguably the best. But I'll be honest, I don't like most their fans. Know-it-all types. Head way the fuck up their asses.
I agree ..I know this comment is old but I am with ya..there my favorite
@@bL3dbL4k I'd have to agree
I have to agree!
Maynard demonstrates what it's like to dance to odd time signatures. haha
A Gough, grab you by the face and say Fuck Off!
You are so cool. Starting shit on the internet. Grow up bitch ass bitch.
A Gough micro pp*
HA! so true! also, he manages to make odd time signatures seem like 4/4 by having people watching him dance. To 4/4 i mean. which is rare. Tool don't even have many SEGMENTS of songs in 4/4. SOBER is, entirely, so is STINKFIST. Oh, and from Undertow, BOTTOM, PRISON SEX... I found it awesome that a Band's FIRST ALBUM starts in 15/16 "Intolerance".. actually it's in 4/4, but the opening main riff is 15/16 followed by 4/4, and repeat 15/16 and 4/4. Who the hell does that these days? TOOL.
He has his own style, That’s what make him unique ❤️❤️❤️
What blow's my mind is the song sounds exactly the same when he plays it now.. Just show how meticulous this band is about every single note, not only is it music.. it's a science.. MAGICAL. 🧙♂️
If I hear "Third Eye, IGGY!!!!!!!!" one more fkin time, I swear to god xD
That's hilarious that he introduces Billy Howerdale as the guitar tech. For those who don't know, Billy Howerdale is the guitarist/backing vocals in A Perfect Circle. Just funny to watch it go that far back.
I would think Tool fans know that by now, no? APC's been around for been 20 years, so...
Wasn’t a joke he actually was the guitar tech lol
“For those of you who don’t know” ha
Yeah, he really knew Adam's guitar tone and playing.
He says former tech, what was Billy’s project after/before apc I wonder...

That is the worst part of this video. That guy's voice is so annoying
drops his drum stick and doesn't miss a fucking beat... he's the reason my drummer hates me at times bc that's the level I want at drums.. I guess we can all dream
SOMETHING6223 Ha! I have the same requirements.
SOMETHING6223 what song does that happen in
shit its been a min since watching it but it was more likely a broken stick he was replacing it was jus seamless as fuck and not exactly like hes just sitting in the pocket ya kno.. ill be song title next time I watch
SOMETHING6223 saw that
+SOMETHING6223 I notice the same thing. This man is unbelievable since him born.
Maynard: It’s our last song
Third Eye guy: and I took that personally
Maynard: is he gone yet? Play it.
this is the best comment on here.
Lol
Underrated comment
that guy is the fucking worst
@@lostagain7292 THIIIIRD EYYYYE
Legends say that Maynard still hasn't blinked.
I started this video and had no idea this was their first time performing Aenima. Genuine shivers, I love love love this.
Open your eyes and keep listening 👁️🌐👁️🎼💎🎼👥🧿🫂💓🦠🏺🪦🩸⛲🪦🧿⛲🧿⛲🧿⛲🪦⛲🩸
Eulogy is hella underrated tbh, the mix of amazing lyrics and musical excellence makes it probably my favorite tool song
haha replace eulogy with any other song name and the comment still stands true
great song
is that his voice through the bullhorn? had no idea lol - I mean the honk honk bit of course :) amazing sound on this
@@madboydaz I think that’s how it was done for live shows, but idk how they originally recorded it
Best album hands down.
I've seen TOOL live 4 times but I regret so much that I never saw them back in this era when Maynard was out front doing his thing.
Edit: Wow, 7 year old comment and now I've seen them 7 times. 2002 was my favorite but 2022 in KC from the 11th row was absolutely awesome. They nailed it and Maynard sounded awesome.
CGranch probably age. He’s in his mid 50s now.
True, same for me
He's got stage fright to the max, he used to be high as a kite most the time to be able to perform up front; the unusual movements, the stare, etc
Anthony Lewis I don't think it's really stage fright.. sometimes for Puscifer when he's in character he's right up front stage. Idk what it is though. Maybe he just simply doesn't want to lol
Toolness1 those were the most violently sexy shows... pits were sick... I haven’t missed a show in nj or nyc since 1997... I’ve seen them at every venue.... his voice is pure sex.... hands down
I come back here multiple times each year and still can’t believe how amazing it is. Especially the extended version of Prison Sex 🤤🤤
on a Tool kick myself

Neither my neighbours do
He was standing above the crowd, he had a voice that was strong and loud
In my 22 years as a Guitarist, I found in Tool the perfection I was looking for. To grow as a musician. I still don't have the words to describe what this band produces for me. I know that he borders on perfection in all his works of art
An audience without any phone's filming just livin the moment! ❤
except for the guy who recorded this
Challenge: Go to a Tool gig and mimic every single movement Maynard makes
That's pretty much what I do ! It's a ton of fun !
Blake Kelly I accidentally killed someone.
Blake Kelly back in the day before cell phones and bullshit... gen admission crowds were like that.. and violent it was amazing I miss those years
@timwins31 I read he gets vertigo from the crazy light shows these days, and when it gets bad, he moves his mic stand into a certain position, which is the signal to switch to the less intense light display. It's shitty. Aging sucks, but at least he's not any less passionate about any of his projects like people have assumed.
I tried and now I’m a paraplegic
Adam in Eulogy was like "Danny wtf just finish the damn song"
Such a great performance. My favorite Tool song. Watching Danny on the drums here is epic.
😁 To be honest, Adam stepped out early..
HAHA yeah!
Yeah
That was too funny.
This footage is a piece of American history ❤
Of all the things I'm grateful for with Tool is how after 30 years of me listening to them they are actually decent people. People complain about them not letting people have cameras and phones, but i respect that. At least now, Maynard lets everyone record at least one part of the show.
Whomever got this great of a we called them "bootlegs" deserves a medal. This is one of the best I had in my collection. These weren't available at a click back then
If only I wasn't 9 years old during this show. I'd give a testie to have been at that concert.
Jordan Seward I was 6 xD I feel you bro xD Ffsake, if I only was born 15 years earlier...
Mr. Jodaniels yo I wasn’t even a thought lol, was born in 2002 over here and still a die hard Tool fan.
I wasn't born then but I would of given both
Jimmy never gets enough love. "So glow, child. Glow. I'm heading back home."
Mike Thieman Jr In my top 5 tool songs. I’m just on a journey when I listen to that song. Especially during the “hold your light” section. It’s just like riding the rhythmic rise and fall of giant ocean swells.
Mike Thieman Jr agreed is has always been one of my favorite Tool songs
Favourite song from that album. I've been doing a wicked acoustic version live for 20 years.
Parrish Muhoberac id love to hear it. Is it available?
It's my third favourite song
And it's got such a deep meaning
I have never in my 37 years of life heard a piece of music that speaks to my soul more than AEnema by Tool
My shadow now it's our time 💓♻️⚜️🎼🫀🧠🧠👁️👁️👄👄🦠🦠🧿⛲🕛🛡️🙌⚔️⚔️🙌
aenima is my fave album
pretty for a desk chair ;)
@@nicojordan33 ooooo
It is pretty awesome
Every album is my favorite they all combine into one album to me
It's perfect!!!!
Im 16 and im sad that ill
Never get to see this part of tool😔
I'm 24 and right there with you bud
Same bro
Very few musicians ever reach this level of badassedness.
God bless whoever snuck a giant video camera in there (before smart phones)
If I had a time machine, 1996 is where I would go. Tool were at there peak, cell phones not invented, great drugs. What a time.
It was a great time 96-99 was an insane time to be alive
@@scottmyer7923 BEfore 96 was a lot better. I remember seeing Helmet/RATM/Tool/Fishbone back to back in 1992/93 ( forgot the exact date )... IN YOUR FACE times
Plenty of people had Nextel push to talk and Motorola cellphones in 1996.. They also had 150 -- 250 monthly phone bills.. Lots of small business owners, financial workers, realtors, contractors, service techs, and the more affluent gadget consumers had cell phones in 1996..
@@mikeborrelli193 Very true. But at least it wasnt mainstream and was very rare to see at a concert.
@@etho86 True..
25:27 I love how the band stops but they are so in sync that they start again perfectly on time when Manyard turns around. Legends...
Unfortunately, it meant stepping on Maynard's great comic timing...
"Have these shrunk?"
What I would give to see the Tool show I saw at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Maynard half white, half black dancing like a snake onstage during the Aenima album release......
does anyone know if they use a click track here. they most likely did but I'm still curios to ask.
@@thenyanrobot4565they were all looking at the drummer it’s not that complicated
@@pyocopyocoultra2047 having the drummer listen to a click trick keeps the show on a consistent beat through the whole song. While playing without a click track make the beat a bit more flexible and have the band speed up and slow down the tempo at will. Not just 1/4ths and 1/8ths
The people who saw this live at the time...Hold it forever.
Live vocals and studio vocals are almost identical. Perfection.
Maynard doesnt get enough credit for his dancing... Also, that scream during "Jimmy" at 39:22 might not even be human...
Lol
HELL YEAH!!! I love that bit.
Huh?
That's my favarite part of the song
That song is so meaningful ... it talks about his childhood traumas .... suppose that scream is a sort of catharsis of pain.
I was a freshman in high-school when an older buddy forced me to go to this show with him. Never heard of Tool before. I left that show and immediately started saving for a guitar. I had to know how Adam did the intro to Stinkfist. The controlled chaos of the feedback intrigued me. Im so glad I got to see this live. I didn't even know the songs, but I remember when Maynard went into the alternate lyrics for Prison Sex I got the chills and knew this was MY BAND. "I thought I could wash the stain away". That lyrics is so hard!
That's real cool thanks for sharing.
Awesome band
I thought I could make it end
I thought I could wash the stains away
I thought I could break the circle
If I seeped right into your skin
So sweet was your surrender
Having become one
I have become my terror
And you my precious lamb and martyr
@HEAVEN&EARTH are these the extended lyrics from this show?
@@hogie9 Yes.
He comes up with profound lyrics.
I love that he uses his platform to get a message out.
22:00 Adam's just like "you about done m8?"
I want to invent a time machine and go back in time to attend this show then repeatedly stomp on the head of the man who keeps screaming for them to play Third Eye.
that was me
Oh ummm what's your address? Ha ha jk must've been a hell of a show.
THIRD EYE!!
Nah dude, that guy served as a great interlude.
must be a trump supporter
I was at this show! Good to relive it again ,this was probably my 4th time seeing tool back then. I like being able to see the whole band and they're not all behind screens or up on a dark stage.Awesome!
This is an absolute masterpiece. I have been using this as part of my gym playlist for many years.
Unfortunately, the cameraman was turned to stone by the end of the concert due to maynards intense staring.
HAHA man i LOVE your sarcasm. YOU sound like Maynard.
oh and... I think the cameraman suddenly had to go to an OPTOMETRIST to get bi-focals after.
maynard James Gorgon 😏
Wish i was born 15 years earlier. Wouldve been kick ass to see tool in their prime.
How do you think I feel? Haha I was born 3 years after this. Haha
+will albright
I'm 3 and I don't even ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah same I was born in 94
U can kick mine
What about me? I wasn't even born when Lateralus came out, so you can imagine what I'd willing to give to be there.
Great sound for a video from ‘96. Amazing! These kids are going places.
About 86 minutes into this show, Maynard first realized that maybe he couldn't always match his studio performance. God bless him. Also, thanks for this upload. I recently caught my 50th TOOL show, and these guys still bring me to tears. Amazing stuff, every time.
right i felt bad for him at that moment, doesn't take anything away form how awesome that performance was
I was gonna go to my first one this year but they’re not coming anywhere near me
When I think of tool this is the era that is dear to my heart. Maynard’s stage presence added so much to their live performances during these years. Perfection isn’t easy to achieve but god damn it’s beautiful to watch.
I would trade all the stupid lights and projections to get Maynard back out front and see him put in some passion like this again.
@TheGuitologist Agreed.
Him hiding at the back with minimal lighting doesn't do him justice.
Especially when watching him is so enthralling.
@@riffgroove this might be an old/young thing or maybe you just dont do drugs, but the last tour with the bead curtain and just the shadow of maynard was a straight up religious experience. The church of light and sound that they are currently going for would honestly be worse with maynard taking all the attention in front. The fact that he goes full costume and hides behind a curtain basically means he agrees with me.
@@friedsensei I haven't gotten to see them on tour for their new album yet. I HAD tickets to see them in May of 2020 before Covid sent the world into hibernation.
I will be seeing them finally in October.
But over the years, I have seen TOOL a total of 11 times, including the first time at a small club right when OPIATE first came out.
I can confidently state that the pre-Lateralus shows when Maynard performed at the front of the stage were much more memorable.
@@riffgroove yeah it could just be one of those things where the version you know is the best, but I saw them on the last tour and it has nothing in common with a club show. with floors in the stadium show its the most well curated audio/visual experience possible. The alex gray art alone is worth the price of admission, if you know his paintings its like a 3D expanded version of his art that is just made entirely to flow with the set, very little of the band on the screens
TOOL IS THE MUSIC PEOPLE NEED!!!!!
The more of these early shows I watch, the more I understand why Maynard doesn't want to be in the front of the show... The whole band is so equally amazing and so equally important to every moment of every song, it makes sense to give everyone a fair look. Tool is a BAND, not a singer and his musicians!
Still, it is amazing to watch Maynard become the song, then snap back at the end like 'oh, right, there's people here!' He's such a great, unselfish performer!
Not to mention his age and the fact he had to have a hip replacement from years of stomping around and awkward movements. That’s probably the main reason lol
The hypnotic grooves that tool gets into are completely unmatched
"Unfortunately for you that means we're not polished on this shit yet so you get the worst show of the tour"
Proceeds to put on one of the greatest performances of their lives.
I was thinking to myself i can't believe this could be the worst show.
exactly tour coming too
Well they did just finish the record a month before and your right after
So they may not be totally 100% on all songs but it’s all good
If you go to the end of third eye, Maynard voice gives out on yelling in tune
I was there man! Right up front in front of Justin!
Lucky u. I think Maynard put more into his singing back then
Eulogy is fucking amazing. It’s been an honor to be able follow this band and its music for the last 3 decades.
Maynard looks like he is looking through your soul when he is singing.
I hear yelling and nonsense , drummer banging and making noises like garbiage cans getting smashed, every song sounds like Jane Addictions Caught Stealing, a bad version of it.
anyone else think maynard sounds AMAZING at this show??
No. You're the only one.
He is always awesome live. Unlike Chris Cornell. Rip
He does, and in a way that's pretty interesting. It's not a powerful screaming night like there's so many clips of in the era, but the singing and softer parts are basically the best I've ever heard them live. Seems like all the focus is put in perfecting the new song, not the raw energy. I like it.
Definitely
ABSOLUTELY.
to the guy screaming for "Third Eye," Maynard will never take requests. Tool feeds you what they want to, and you will like it.
I consider myself extremely lucky that I got to see Tool several times in their prime in the 90's. Every show "changed my life" in that they are my fondest memories and I truly had a spiritual experience at every show. It was my church. Church for an atheist. When I saw this tour he was painted blue in white boxers with orange florescent dots all over his body. Oh, and I was tripping balls. Fan-fucking-tastic.
So dope. I have been a huge fan since I was 12 , 39 now and just out of rehab. I got to finally see them a week ago. A dream come true. They always change my life and come when I need them for spiritual uplifting and connnection, it’s crazy. He said in an interview once their songs may or may not capture you , depending where you are at in your life, and for me it’s been my entire journey. Thank you Tool for saving my life.
@@sarahsmile2883 And I'm willing to bet you got the best natural high of your life at that show.
I believe in extra terrestrial beings not God. Tool is very spiritual to me. It's cool that u had cool experiences seeing them back in the day. I'm a young fan but I been jamming tool since high school. They are true music legands
Holy crap Danny loses a stick at 26:20 and keeps his other hand playing as he picks it up. Lmfao what a legend
"THIRD EYE!!!....HEEGEE!!....WOOOH!!!" I'm starting to think it's just Danny triggering a sample in between each song...
Francis Ducharme think so too.
fuckin brilliant
Francis Ducharme why danny? I dont get the joke hahaha
The hell he meant by 'heegee'?
Maybe he confused Tool with Iggy Pop?
Tool is incredible live, holy crap. The power in Maynard's voice is incredible!
