I have a true Tool story....In 1992, the year of the Opiate release, Tool played a small club tour which their label, Zoo, didn't promote very well. New band, very different, just signed with a $5.98 CD EP released... no radio airplay yet, no one knew about them. On this tour, within weeks of this Philly gig here (maybe days). I saw Tool play a Cincinnati gig to FOUR (4) people. No shit! FOUR!!! When the local opening band came on, there were 12 people total in a 1200 capacity club. By the time Tool came on, there were 6 people remaining. Two more left. It was me, my girlfriend, one other dude and a bartender watching this killer performance. And the band could not have given one fuck less that no one was there. It was essentially this set list and spot-on flawless, just like this show here. I need to dig out the ticket stub! I knew that very night that I had just witnessed something special. UPDATE 2/6/2021: The ticket stub has been located. The date was Sunday, May 10th, 1992. And the admission price printed on the ticket...a whopping $3 .....THREE, WHOLE DOLLARS!
I think it really speaks to a band or musicians character when they put their all 110% into a show even if there’s only 1 person in the audience. I have played in clubs on weeknights down in Manhattan where the band was on fire at 3am with only a handful of people in the room, doesn’t matter, the soul will be as furious as ever as long as the band is onstage.
Similar story here. They opened for a straight edge band called Snapcase at a small, long since closed club here in Buffalo, NY called the scrapyard. A friends sister worked for Zoo Entertainment, so opiate was on heavy rotation for a while with me at least. I sat at the bar before the show and shot the shit with the bartender while some guy was sitting next to me just quietly hanging out, I exchanged some pleasantries with said quiet guy, he then proceeded to jump on stage and start tuning his guitar, it was Adam Jones. The band proceeded to play this same set in front of what may have been 10 people. To this day, SO MANY claim to have been at that show which is absurd and laughable. Anyhow, I chewed the fat with MJK after the show where he gave me a shirt (looking back, I can’t help but think this was a not so inside joke with the band where they were getting people to wear shirts that said “TOOL” on the front with a giant phallic wrench on the back, so fuck you back MJK) and offered to put me on the list for their Cleveland show the following night, I never made the trip, looking back, maybe I should’ve called into work and taken him up on his offer. The show was quite literally the most intense thing I have ever witnessed, the band couldn’t have given two shits if there were 12 or 120,000 people in attendance. At one point someone shouted out (I think it was someone from the band Green Jello as they were from Buffalo and likely comprised half the crowd) “hey Maynard, tell them how lame this crowd is” to which he replied; “I’m not here for them”. I can say first hand, from a few feet away, that stare, caged bonobo shimmy shake and possessed rocking back and forth is both intimidating and engrossing at the same time. He stares at you, over your head and through you all at once, he is/was possessed on stage, not an act, at least back in the salad days it wasn’t. I’ll always have much respect for this band.
Tbh i can feel more intimacy performing in a small closed setting than in a humungous stage. I only played less than 10 times, been to couple of big area and handful of small area and I wanna play in a small area. Crowd in bigger area (which pays good amount of money)probably care less about you and it really shows. They only care for the main act. In small areas (which doesnt pay performers) on the otherhand is more warm because you know they were there to see you (or maybe to have some drink and happens to be there when you play). I want really more gigs. Sucks that I can't go to other people's gig not because I am an important piece of shit but reasons but I swear I just wanna go to other gigs just to watch but I practically can't.
My friend's older brother said he was at this tour but saw them in LA. After seeing this footage I now know he was telling the truth. This is EXACTLY how he described them back then. I believe White Zombie opened before Beavis and Butthead blew them up.
I saw this show on this tour, but in San Jose and it was in a small club with about 25 - 30 people. It was the first time I had even even heard of Tool and I've been a massive fan ever since. It's one of my favorite music experiences of all time.
I only wish I was there, a small setting, close to home, Damn! What a show! Thanks for recording this and sharing it, Great Job camera operator! And Thank to TOOL for putting all their heart into this, Very Intense!

@@rochellefreed853 It was AMAZING. The opener sucked, but holy crap man, they absolutely KILLED it. Ended the show with Stinkfist, nobody was expecting that and it was so awesome. They're actually better live than the album version. Maynard donned a two piece suit and a Mohawk. They ended the show with Stinkfist and had the whole crowd headbanging.
Honestly, there's just something about Maynard's facial expressions and body movements and the camera zooming in on his face briefly that is so badass.
Maynard looks like he's trying not to lose his shit. The kind of guy who'd be waiting for you in the parking lot after the show. Not for a fight, but to inform you that he took all the doors off your sedan and will put them back if you buy him some taffy and a seasonal pack of Oreos.
Can we give more credit to the person shooting this? This is 27 years old and still looks and sounds great. This poor bastard stood for 45 minutes holding a 38 pound camera and got this amazing footage. Thank you sir or ma'am.
Definitely but also credit the person who must've remastered this. Maybe it was the same person? Anyways, you're right. Incredible job and physically tiring.
@Arron Degenerate you better believe it. Still gives me chills when he glares at you savagely like he'll jump inside your body and consume you. Saw them when I was 18, and of course I felt like he's looking at me...I feel funny... Lol pure mind, body ecstacy. And I used think "sober" was the battle call for more booze/LSD. Geez.
It’s how I started listening to them. First a couple songs, then I stumbled onto this video with the intentions of only watching 5 minutes, and of course ended up watching the entire thing completely awestruck
What a sick way to be introduced to them. I worked at a music store and a coworker snagged the opiate demo. I heard it in his car and made him burn me a copy until it was released and I could buy my own
Maybe the most intense performer even on the small stage.The way he stares into the distance of the crowd with lyrics spilling from his guts!!True display of talent and history being made here
Samuel T Herring. Lead singer for Future Islands hard to argue against him as the most intense singular performer on a small stage. Live@KSET from 2012 for a glimpse. He's special
@@travisov Wow,just watched Future Islands lead singer and I have to admit,you have horrible taste!Cant compare this guy to Maynard James Keenan in any way,shape or form 😂😂😂😂
Really though. If we preserved all of Tools audio and video footage, the people who finds them many decades later, they would literally see Tool like Gods.
+themighty axe underwhelmed? I think they're just awestruck. The early nineties where a time of innovation for Rock and Metal. Tool was so far outside the box at this back then, I don't think many people even really knew how to react...
+vvstreetfightervv Awestruck is perfect. I wasn't here but I saw them around this time. I was struggling to simply take this in. I'd heard plenty of loud and fast previously, but nothing this powerful.
Every single musician should take note... here you have one of the greatest bands of all time... playing to a virtually empty bar..... and fuckin SLAYING every note.. every song..... THIS is what makes a great band!! Give it your all... even if you are only playing to the bar staff!!
David Lee Roth said his neighbor was a musician and survivor of a concentration camp. He told David he learned to literally sing like his life depended on it. David Lee Roth said he never forgot that, and always sang that way. Pretty powerful!
By the summer of 93 things had changed for them. I saw them in Phoenix at lollapalooza and they were the second to last band with Primus headlining and right before them was Rage Against The Machine and before them Alice In Chains. There was a massive amount of people there. THE BEST CONCERT OF MY THEN 13 YEAR OLD LIFE AND EVEN NOW 29 YEARS LATER. I will always love this band and this video brings me back to that small window of time when Primus was more well known than Tool.
When I was 13, Lollapalooza 93 was my first concert at UBC Thunderbird Stadium in Vancouver. It was a hell of an introduction to live music. It was mid-June so Tool and RATM weren't household names yet. Thus, they were both 2nd stage acts. I remember seeing their names on a concert tee I bought but didn't know who they were and never saw them play. I forgot about that till 10 years later I did a search for a pic of the concert tee, which I'd long since thrown out. I was shocked to see my all-time favorite band, Tool played there and I missed them. Thought at that time, I wouldn't have "gotten" their music like I would later on.
Yeah you've gone there as you do every Tuesday night to the bar to drown your sorrows alone and this weird due in a Mohawk is doing that pensive stare at you singing why can we not be sober.
@@dscrdscr8004 Some singers just gotta get in the zone to give off whatever vibe they are going for. Staring at whatever he was staring at was his way of getting in the zone.
Best Tool performance i have ever seen...face to face or on the net. The raw energy Maynard and the band possess is almost indescribable. 5 stars in my book...sh*t made me cry...and i watched it multiple, multiple times. Bravo!
I was in LA visiting a friend years ago... Like late 90s I think. We dropped into a random internet cafe to play some LAN games and one of the guys we were playing with was in the band Green Jello. To this day I have no idea if I was rubbing elbows with a member of Tool or not.
@@ashevillecomputer201 Oh good grief, you're one of those pretentious "vocal coach" pricks who obsesses about technique, aren't you? It doesn't matter how you breathe or other such baloney, all that matters is that you hit the notes. Which Maynard certainly does. Using a different voice technique isn't "cheating". It's doing what works for you.
It’s crazy how these particular people all knew eachother without seeking eachother out. I mean they are arguably the most creative band in history.. They mesh so well.. TOOL is seriously special art. And although they all would have found success, it makes you wonder how close they came to not starting TOOL. One moment could have prevented it. I wonder how many bands or artists like this almost existed but for a tiny reason never crossed paths..
Obviously didn't mesh that well together because Paul left before they got real big...Justin was what really pushed their sound to the next level though anyway.
It's a modified Mohawk, not a "mullet". No one called it a mullet until the late 90s. We certainly didn't use the term during the 80s. It was just how dudes looked.
I was at this show. JC Dobbs on South Street in Philly. I was 18 and a senior in high school. I had a fake ID that said I was 21. There were only about 40 people there. I can be briefly seen early in the video. I had long blonde hair way past my shoulders and was wearing a white Tool wrench t-shirt and a hat. This place was great. Nirvana and a bunch of other bands played there before they got big. About 6 months after this show Sober hit MTV.
jesus christ his voice is so steady even when he's obviously putting a ton of energy into it. And his deadpan face just adds to the unnervingly perfect vocals.
@@mremil321 This was my takeaway seeing them back then. I used to tell people that the only time he MAY have closed his eyes was when wiping a towel across his face. I think the first 2 times I saw them, between Opiate and Undertow and just after Undertow was released, Maynard was out of his fucking head on dose. He was plainly startled many times during each set, disoriented through much of both shows, and spectacular both times.
Every time I come to this video, I'm like, I'll watch just a few minutes. Then...full video later and I'm on a different plane of existence. Every single time.
Saw Tool for the first time in 1998...paid $20 for tix. First song was "Part of Me". Then heard Maynard hold that note in "Pushit"...and here I am still.
I saw the same show in Atl at a small club. History was made. Someone yelled, “play your hit ‘Sober’. Maynard said, “they are all our fucking hits” and played the next song.
We performed for a dog. Opened with some 40 people, 30 minutes later they were all gone except one drunk in a lawn chair and his dog. Soon enough he passed out so we ended up giving this dog a show!
I should add, i saw them the next summer, and Maynard stared at me like that for 20 minutes of the fuckin show! I couldn't look at him! He scared the shit out of me!!!
Saw them April 1994. Flaming Lips was an opener and it was agonizing to endure their set until Tool played. One of the best concerts I've ever seen. Top 5 easily.
I love that this is such an immaculate Tool performance and such an amazing display from Maynard where he's literally giving his last ounce at the end and then it finishes with scattered applause--from an albeit appreciative audience--and then someone in the silence... "great set man". Just love that so much. Tool must've known they were doing something special but it doesn't surprise me that they would put on a show like this for maybe 10-20 people who were digging it.
If this isn't the best live performance ever to the fewest people I'm not sure what is. I can't imagine going to a local bar and see something this amazing.
Do you know what the problem is with being in a moment like this.....You don't realize what it is at that point in time. Possibly you might be intoxicated or maybe trying to get into someone's pants, but you definitely don't know til it's too late. It's what life is all about, we watch it pass and think that there will be another moment like this to seize. I'm older so I will tell it like it is....when you have a chance to smell the flowers, you better stop and bend your ass over and take a sniff because tomorrow is NOT guaranteed. Have a great day/night.
Epic! Thanks for putting this up. Tool wasn't even on my radar until the late 90s. I read his book/memoir a few months back ... it's a must-read for any Tool fan that sort of helps assemble pieces of the puzzle we call 'Maynard'.
Customer Service A worthless title. Imagine being at a restaurant and talking to someone who doesn’t know you and telling them you’re in the rock and toll hall of fame. They’d look at you like you’re a dipshit.
Shit danny carey gets no credit in this video but he's a fuckin beast. Just the memory on these guys is amazing. The perform exactly like the album's without missing a beat or string Everytime! Fuckin badass!
@@richardlockwood9683 Absolutely! I am just as much of a Danny Carey enthusiast as i am for Adam, that man has been able to KILL it for decades. He is the epitome of drumming as a whole.
I was thinking this just from the albums, and sometimes I got this feeling it was just not his big voice... But after watchin all this show, with all that anger and feeling and presence and.... it's not just his big voice, it's his whole soul what comes out materialised as sound! Im stunned, he's unique, there are no words to explain what he does....
Guys, I thought often about that kind of expression. Instead of aggressive, offensive sounds even mightier! This world deserves it, some1 gotta drop the bombs
Seriously, some of the best musicians of the century, in their prime, to a handful of people with no idea. I will be careful how I spend my attention at shows
Had a bootleg cassette tape of this show that I bought on the Wildwood Boardwalk (NJ) back in 1995 as a teenager, and listened to said tape for yeeeaaarss! So thrilled there is a video to go along with it. To say my mind is blown by this would be a complete and utter understatement!!!!! Thank you immensely to whomever posted this!
Man, we have a house in Ocean City NJ and on the boardwalk in the back of the surf mall there was this small room with all sorts of bootleg music I imagine much like the place you are describing. I got some awesome stuff out that little shop hidden in the back in 1996-1997 then the next summer it was gone.
This performance is tight, brutal, incredibly saddening and terrifying. I can't believe what I am seeing. It's both exhilarating and heartbreaking. I just cannot imagine the dedicated amount of sadness, rage and misanthropy required to write and perform Music like this. And these guys made a whole career of it. It blows me away. 10/10, this masterpiece of a performance. Huge kudos to the dudes who filmed it and preserved it eternally on the internet.
This "tug and pull" between warring emotions and concepts is the beating heart of all literature, visual art and performing art, in my opinion. The band it seems is aware of this. These aren't "mere" musicians. Even if you don't like this kind of music, when you weigh them against their peers in genre, you quickly realize that they're boiling cauldron of good ideas, excellent musicianship. The muse whispers to these men. That much is obvious to me.
Yeah man you said it! I got near orgasmic chills, and shivers when sober started, every fucking hair on my body stood on end. That doesn’t happen all the time. I don’t think these people had any idea what they were witnessing, I am soooo jealous. I’ve seen some intimate shows but nothing like this.
@@daytonasayswhat9333 More Beckett, less Conrad. It's very good advice. Where were you in my composition classes? I needed the help. This was all preventable.
Solomonic Magick is real my friend. The folks in the crowd are blocked from seeing what they are seeing. He's staring face to face with a literal demon. In the very beginning of part of me you can see when he catches it's eye. Pure terror for a moment and the rest of the guys look up. He had a talisman of some kind which the camera man zooms in on for a moment. It's on his groin and the very second they finish he throws it to the ground. There's alot more I could say but noone will believe me lol
@@dmturner58 When you know, you know. There's a reason they're so successful, but they'll unfortunately pay for it in the end. May God have mercy on them.
I still jam to this on the daily along with the rest of the greatest music ever created by these guys. I’d wait 40 years if I had too for the next one. Gives me chills and makes my heart beat like I LIVE !
I'm 43 years old and came across Tool (Maynard J. Keenan) for the first time yesterday Jan 7, 2017. I am totally blown AWAY! Love these guys! New fan from Canada!
Kurt Croft I know eh! Was so focused on my Iron Maiden in my teens to late 20s that alot of bands passed me by. Metallica, Zeppelin, Pantera also to name a few. That and girls lol.
This looks like they took him out of his cage and restraints just to get on stage and perform. After they'll take him back to his cage and feed him a bucket of fish-heads for doing a good job.
Fan since the early 90's. Tool's deep riffs and incredible vocals temporarily transport me to a wonderful place beyond this earth where I know my soul will be safe and my body out of pain, when I get there. Two of the many things I love about their music, Maynard's passion and that moment when you think the song is over but then you realize it's just begun.
imagine sitting there at your table while maynard stares you down for 45 minutes
I'd throw my spoon in my bowl like fuck you dude, I can't do this. Not even hungry anymore.

Holy crap dude. I had no idea these guys were that good live. This is insane.

@CNCMatrix also if u like tool check put puscifier...I'll admit whn i was younger I didn't give apc or puscifier a chance but once I did mind blowing in some ways I feel like puscifier...mmm..how do I say this...not necessarily better than tool...but more intimate so good all his projects
@@rochellefreed853 It was AMAZING. The opener sucked, but holy crap man, they absolutely KILLED it.
Ended the show with Stinkfist, nobody was expecting that and it was so awesome.
They're actually better live than the album version. Maynard donned a two piece suit and a Mohawk.
They ended the show with Stinkfist and had the whole crowd headbanging.
Honestly, there's just something about Maynard's facial expressions and body movements and the camera zooming in on his face briefly that is so badass.
Maynard looks like he's trying not to lose his shit. The kind of guy who'd be waiting for you in the parking lot after the show. Not for a fight, but to inform you that he took all the doors off your sedan and will put them back if you buy him some taffy and a seasonal pack of Oreos.
This wins the internet. This made me laugh. Thank you.
Or he super glued your doors shut and will sell you a bottle of methylated spirits in exchange for apologising for not jumping around at his show.
Chris Curtis nice.
LOL awesome comment dude 11/10 would read again,thanks!
..only to find that he actually can't put them back cause he sold them for a microphone.
Can we give more credit to the person shooting this? This is 27 years old and still looks and sounds great. This poor bastard stood for 45 minutes holding a 38 pound camera and got this amazing footage. Thank you sir or ma'am.
Yeah. The sound quality is fantastic, which is also to the credit of the band. Maynard sounds great.
Definitely but also credit the person who must've remastered this. Maybe it was the same person? Anyways, you're right. Incredible job and physically tiring.
@@chrisvanegmond3157 He looks great too. He's got that Eddie Munster runs cross country and wrestles look.
@Arron Degenerate you better believe it. Still gives me chills when he glares at you savagely like he'll jump inside your body and consume you. Saw them when I was 18, and of course I felt like he's looking at me...I feel funny... Lol pure mind, body ecstacy. And I used think "sober" was the battle call for more booze/LSD. Geez.
He didn't stand holding shit! It's to still... He had to have a tripod but I will still praise the man for recording this footage. 😆
This should be mandatory viewing for anyone who calls themselves a Tool fan. So damn good
It’s how I started listening to them. First a couple songs, then I stumbled onto this video with the intentions of only watching 5 minutes, and of course ended up watching the entire thing completely awestruck
What a sick way to be introduced to them. I worked at a music store and a coworker snagged the opiate demo. I heard it in his car and made him burn me a copy until it was released and I could buy my own
@@jeremys.9905
Wow, first person I’ve heard mention that demo. I have the CD…the album artwork is insane
Maybe the most intense performer even on the small stage.The way he stares into the distance of the crowd with lyrics spilling from his guts!!True display of talent and history being made here
Samuel T Herring. Lead singer for Future Islands hard to argue against him as the most intense singular performer on a small stage. Live@KSET from 2012 for a glimpse. He's special
@@travisov Wow,just watched Future Islands lead singer and I have to admit,you have horrible taste!Cant compare this guy to Maynard James Keenan in any way,shape or form 😂😂😂😂

@@discomfort5760... Then Maynard truly becomes a God.
royisstr absolutely
Really though. If we preserved all of Tools audio and video footage, the people who finds them many decades later, they would literally see Tool like Gods.
Yup 💯
I don't think the people in audience realized at the time what they were witnessing.
Right...they seemed rather underwhelmed
+themighty axe underwhelmed? I think they're just awestruck. The early nineties where a time of innovation for Rock and Metal.
Tool was so far outside the box at this back then, I don't think many people even really knew how to react...
*were. Fuckin autocorrect. Lol
+vvstreetfightervv Awestruck is perfect. I wasn't here but I saw them around this time. I was struggling to simply take this in. I'd heard plenty of loud and fast previously, but nothing this powerful.
Agreed.
Every single musician should take note... here you have one of the greatest bands of all time... playing to a virtually empty bar..... and fuckin SLAYING every note.. every song..... THIS is what makes a great band!! Give it your all... even if you are only playing to the bar staff!!
David Lee Roth said his neighbor was a musician and survivor of a concentration camp. He told David he learned to literally sing like his life depended on it. David Lee Roth said he never forgot that, and always sang that way.
Pretty powerful!
By the summer of 93 things had changed for them. I saw them in Phoenix at lollapalooza and they were the second to last band with Primus headlining and right before them was Rage Against The Machine and before them Alice In Chains. There was a massive amount of people there. THE BEST CONCERT OF MY THEN 13 YEAR OLD LIFE AND EVEN NOW 29 YEARS LATER. I will always love this band and this video brings me back to that small window of time when Primus was more well known than Tool.
When I was 13, Lollapalooza 93 was my first concert at UBC Thunderbird Stadium in Vancouver. It was a hell of an introduction to live music. It was mid-June so Tool and RATM weren't household names yet. Thus, they were both 2nd stage acts. I remember seeing their names on a concert tee I bought but didn't know who they were and never saw them play. I forgot about that till 10 years later I did a search for a pic of the concert tee, which I'd long since thrown out. I was shocked to see my all-time favorite band, Tool played there and I missed them. Thought at that time, I wouldn't have "gotten" their music like I would later on.
My Phoenix Lolla memory was Maynard coming out early during RATM’s set and wailing his backup vocals on Know Your Enemy.
This is where the DeLorean will drop me off.
Pick me up on the way!!
I'm gonna have to sit on someone's lap because theres no space in the back.
you win the internet with that comment. ;)
Hey I own one of those lol
me and you both
So strange listening to these incredibly forceful, heavy, mindblowing performances and then one person goes "wooo!" and five people golf clap.
"gold clap" I love that. So true. Shit is powerful! I'm not even a Tool fan really.
BeastmanWatchUrMouth classic case of..."didn't know what they were witnessing" syndrome.
Philly TOOL fans are not clappers. They are moshers.
Maybe they're just mindblown. lol
Lol, yes exactly!
Damn sober is such a freaking awesome song and his voice is amazing live .
when they do sober, wow. gave me chills. just imagine being there for this and having your mind blown
Yeah you've gone there as you do every Tuesday night to the bar to drown your sorrows alone and this weird due in a Mohawk is doing that pensive stare at you singing why can we not be sober.
Best.
The set is over when he blinks
I honestly see him blink once.
Why that shit happens? So high?

Had to have been done via editing, it is "remastered" after all.
Best Tool performance i have ever seen...face to face or on the net. The raw energy Maynard and the band possess is almost indescribable. 5 stars in my book...sh*t made me cry...and i watched it multiple, multiple times. Bravo!
Remember the days when artists sounded the same live as on the album?

I submit this performance blows the EP recordings away. There's a feel for it live that can't be captured in a studio production. 👍
Yes, it's called a tool concert in 2019, at an arena near you.
Here in 2019. This concert was roughly 10,000 days ago... whoa
Hahah

"TOOL? Probably some shitty speed metal band, I'll go and make fun of them and have some beers" -clueless patron before this show 😂
Every great band started as a bunch of nobody's playing bars. Always support new music
I was in LA visiting a friend years ago... Like late 90s I think. We dropped into a random internet cafe to play some LAN games and one of the guys we were playing with was in the band Green Jello. To this day I have no idea if I was rubbing elbows with a member of Tool or not.
It's that time of the month where I come back here again....and again....
filmed by a hero - uploaded by a champion

He sounds exactly the same as on the record.
It is amazing....I just watched a show from 96 and you can tell he started "cheating" then....there isn't a bit of cheating here...
@@ashevillecomputer201 cheating?
@@Em-gj2sg Using more of a head voice vs a full chest voice. Not as much power.
@@ashevillecomputer201 Oh good grief, you're one of those pretentious "vocal coach" pricks who obsesses about technique, aren't you? It doesn't matter how you breathe or other such baloney, all that matters is that you hit the notes. Which Maynard certainly does. Using a different voice technique isn't "cheating". It's doing what works for you.
Always
It’s crazy how these particular people all knew eachother without seeking eachother out. I mean they are arguably the most creative band in history.. They mesh so well.. TOOL is seriously special art. And although they all would have found success, it makes you wonder how close they came to not starting TOOL. One moment could have prevented it. I wonder how many bands or artists like this almost existed but for a tiny reason never crossed paths..
Yup. Imagine the amazing bands that never came to fruitcups because of hard drugs. Sad .
@@bchops4537 you gotta stay away from fruitcups.
Obviously didn't mesh that well together because Paul left before they got real big...Justin was what really pushed their sound to the next level though anyway.
@@SMSimon Yeah but Paul wanted to be the guitar player, not bass.
Justin nearly didnt join until his brother convinced him otherwise.
What the hell would Tool be like without him today?
I have this on DVD. They were opening for Corrosion of Conformity that night if you can believe it! There is a partial recording of COC at the end.
CoC ... underrated 80's band, IMO!
clicked the video to see Maynard's Power Mullet... stayed for 46 minutes.
Power mullet 😜
It's a modified Mohawk, not a "mullet". No one called it a mullet until the late 90s. We certainly didn't use the term during the 80s. It was just how dudes looked.
I literally thought I was the only one who called it a power mullet.
Such a powerful mullet

+Dann Boyd If i had to guess id say he's frying not on heroin in this video. but thats just my opinion, who knows
I was at this show. JC Dobbs on South Street in Philly. I was 18 and a senior in high school. I had a fake ID that said I was 21. There were only about 40 people there. I can be briefly seen early in the video. I had long blonde hair way past my shoulders and was wearing a white Tool wrench t-shirt and a hat. This place was great. Nirvana and a bunch of other bands played there before they got big. About 6 months after this show Sober hit MTV.
😮❤
He has a Great voice.
maynard looks like he's trying to start an invisible lawn mower
Legend has it Maynard is still trying to start that lawn mower.
16:30 XD
I'd say chainsaw, but either way still funny as hell.
I fuckin love that shit too
This comment made my day, thanks
jesus christ his voice is so steady even when he's obviously putting a ton of energy into it. And his deadpan face just adds to the unnervingly perfect vocals.
i know....it's just humurous....
My man didn't blink for 45 mins
agreed
it's unreal vocal performance for a rock singer at a small club. it's bananas
@@mremil321 This was my takeaway seeing them back then. I used to tell people that the only time he MAY have closed his eyes was when wiping a towel across his face. I think the first 2 times I saw them, between Opiate and Undertow and just after Undertow was released, Maynard was out of his fucking head on dose. He was plainly startled many times during each set, disoriented through much of both shows, and spectacular both times.
Every time I come to this video, I'm like, I'll watch just a few minutes. Then...full video later and I'm on a different plane of existence. Every single time.
Saw Tool for the first time in 1998...paid $20 for tix. First song was "Part of Me". Then heard Maynard hold that note in "Pushit"...and here I am still.
I saw the same show in Atl at a small club. History was made. Someone yelled, “play your hit ‘Sober’. Maynard said, “they are all our fucking hits” and played the next song.
rofl that's awesome
Love this song👍
We performed for a dog. Opened with some 40 people, 30 minutes later they were all gone except one drunk in a lawn chair and his dog. Soon enough he passed out so we ended up giving this dog a show!
Was this at Center Stage or the Masquerade?
PBR Streetgang The Masquerade
I should add, i saw them the next summer, and Maynard stared at me like that for 20 minutes of the fuckin show! I couldn't look at him! He scared the shit out of me!!!
Ian Jerolmack shit I would've just soaked it in, all he's doing is knifing through you soul with that glare...
Maybe he kept staring because he noticed it made you uncomfortable lol
Ian Jerolmack his eyes are open but i dont think he sees what hes looking at bc hes in a zone that none of us will ever be in
Ian Jerolmack you should have stared him down back.
Yes same happened to me. I was in the front row and he stared at me for what felt like 5 minutes. Very unnerving.
Maynard's death stair is the most hardcore part of this whole live concert
Saw them April 1994. Flaming Lips was an opener and it was agonizing to endure their set until Tool played. One of the best concerts I've ever seen. Top 5 easily.
You could’ve just skipped the opener
I think Maynard might be an extraterrestrial.

Hit me up before you go.
Pretty sure Maynard is the only one with a time machine...
Please take me too
The Paul D’amour with the 20lb ovation bass has always been my favorite era of Tool. Crushing sound!
Agreed!
So underrated
I love that this is such an immaculate Tool performance and such an amazing display from Maynard where he's literally giving his last ounce at the end and then it finishes with scattered applause--from an albeit appreciative audience--and then someone in the silence... "great set man". Just love that so much. Tool must've known they were doing something special but it doesn't surprise me that they would put on a show like this for maybe 10-20 people who were digging it.
Wonder who the poor, scared bastard was who Maynard was staring at the entire show.
no one will never know, he was just a pile of dust by the end.
Lolol
I'm sure he was staring at a blinding light
I thought it was the guy who was shining the bright ass light on them at the start of the show.
get him out there!
Maynard: I'd like to thank you all for coming out to Mike's Pizzaria. Don't forget to tip your waitress.
Great name. Mine is derivative of the very same band.
Intro to Sober always gets me. It was the first Tool song I heard. I knew right away I would be a Tool fan! 28 years later👍
Excellent. Thank you for sharing!

The stage presence this guy has is amazing.
@timwins31 the daemon took over. Read Anthony Peake.
Had.
Obviously he has healed a lot and grown since then, but it just isn't anywhere near as comepelling to watch him/them now.
Chris Campbell I doubt he played possessed by a demon, in effect, anyway. He took a lot of LSD. He just knew how to handle it.
He has stage fright. The staring off into space thing helps him through it.
If this isn't the best live performance ever to the fewest people I'm not sure what is.
I can't imagine going to a local bar and see something this amazing.
this or Rage first public performance. its on YT also. funny to see people walking by not paying any mind!
Yeah but you don’t want to go from nothing to 10k people stages either
You gotta work your way up to larger crowds
Do you know what the problem is with being in a moment like this.....You don't realize what it is at that point in time. Possibly you might be intoxicated or maybe trying to get into someone's pants, but you definitely don't know til it's too late. It's what life is all about, we watch it pass and think that there will be another moment like this to seize. I'm older so I will tell it like it is....when you have a chance to smell the flowers, you better stop and bend your ass over and take a sniff because tomorrow is NOT guaranteed. Have a great day/night.
@@buckfuttler2877 I'm blown away that they "were" RATM from day one. Like not even the Beatles were THE Beatles until years into it.
@@snoozieboi well said.
How Maynard can belt at that volume song after song without any signs of tapering off just blows my mind.
Hes high on coke dude, or does he look fine and "sober" to you?
Epic! Thanks for putting this up. Tool wasn't even on my radar until the late 90s. I read his book/memoir a few months back ... it's a must-read for any Tool fan that sort of helps assemble pieces of the puzzle we call 'Maynard'.
HOW ON THE HELL IS GREEN DAY IN THE ROCK N' ROLL HALL OF FAME BUT TOOL ISN'T ??

Man, we have a house in Ocean City NJ and on the boardwalk in the back of the surf mall there was this small room with all sorts of bootleg music I imagine much like the place you are describing. I got some awesome stuff out that little shop hidden in the back in 1996-1997 then the next summer it was gone.

This performance is tight, brutal, incredibly saddening and terrifying. I can't believe what I am seeing. It's both exhilarating and heartbreaking. I just cannot imagine the dedicated amount of sadness, rage and misanthropy required to write and perform Music like this. And these guys made a whole career of it. It blows me away.
10/10, this masterpiece of a performance. Huge kudos to the dudes who filmed it and preserved it eternally on the internet.
This "tug and pull" between warring emotions and concepts is the beating heart of all literature, visual art and performing art, in my opinion. The band it seems is aware of this. These aren't "mere" musicians. Even if you don't like this kind of music, when you weigh them against their peers in genre, you quickly realize that they're boiling cauldron of good ideas, excellent musicianship. The muse whispers to these men. That much is obvious to me.
Too many descriptors. Rewrite and present to me again.
Yeah man you said it! I got near orgasmic chills, and shivers when sober started, every fucking hair on my body stood on end. That doesn’t happen all the time. I don’t think these people had any idea what they were witnessing, I am soooo jealous. I’ve seen some intimate shows but nothing like this.

this describes it so well! He sounds tortured
No denying it's great - but it's also a performance. I just came four times.
Solomonic Magick is real my friend. The folks in the crowd are blocked from seeing what they are seeing. He's staring face to face with a literal demon. In the very beginning of part of me you can see when he catches it's eye. Pure terror for a moment and the rest of the guys look up. He had a talisman of some kind which the camera man zooms in on for a moment. It's on his groin and the very second they finish he throws it to the ground. There's alot more I could say but noone will believe me lol

Kurt Croft I know eh! Was so focused on my Iron Maiden in my teens to late 20s that alot of bands passed me by. Metallica, Zeppelin, Pantera also to name a few. That and girls lol.
Best band of all time. Is your name actually Patrick Cote or are you just a fan of his?
much to learn you have.
Patrick Cote catch up, brotha! \m/
Absolutely brilliant. ❤👏
Really impressed with how good this sounds.
This should go in the UA-cam hall of fame
i hope you meant hall of rocknroll...
This looks like they took him out of his cage and restraints just to get on stage and perform. After they'll take him back to his cage and feed him a bucket of fish-heads for doing a good job.
ok i like you
i’m dead. lmao
@@ijustgotreallystoned638 same, and same
That's the most metal thing I've every heard. Lmao
Hahaha
Damn. So raw and pure. No fn around. I love this version of the band
Fan since the early 90's. Tool's deep riffs and incredible vocals temporarily transport me to a wonderful place beyond this earth where I know my soul will be safe and my body out of pain, when I get there.
Two of the many things I love about their music, Maynard's passion and that moment when you think the song is over but then you realize it's just begun.
