Descending was not yet released back in 2014 so its not played in this concert and needs removed from your setlist. Sure there are few riffs from it but they are not playing the song here. It was not played in concert until 2019 so...
s a while the offices song had not been played till then the riffs play here at from descending. If you have to be nit picky call it “Unnamed riffs/jam” Still descending lol
I literally just watched this with the lights off...drinking wine... dancing like Maynard... (My hubby must think I have cramps)...pounding my fist and foot stomping left and right... for an hour and a half.... and I have to get up in 4 hours. TOOL commitment ... I tell ya.... TOOL is life.
Bassdoge Me too - I think his vocals here are pretty damn good, even though his voice might not be what it was, it's still a helluva lot better than some lead singers.
Bassdoge only to look danny carey playing i would run an iron man... he is from the best band the best... i could look at him all day long... fantastic... and i am a man from 42... not a girl from 16...^^
Maynard's vocals on Pushit were on fucking point. I love this song. Why can't people just shut the fuck up and listen without making snide comments about how they sound. They've been around longer than some of you have been alive. Show them a little respect. Not every show is going to be on point. Not every album is going to resonate with fans. Quit worrying how the new album will be if and when it becomes available. Just listen, and realize that a band of this caliber is still able to make albums, and as a fan, I'm eternally grateful for that.
The way they release their albums is like the fibonacci sequence or some other math sequence; 1 year, 1 year, 2 years, 6 years, 15 years, 123, years, 14264 years.
Hey Felix T-Rex, the Fibonnacci sequence is built with the sum of the two previous numbers ! So this should be 1 year, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years, 8 years, 13 years and so on...
Tool - amazing as always. After following them since 1991 I've seen them on every tour, every album, always front row and watched them evolve from an angry headstrong band to a mind thoughtful, art-driven experience. ToolArchive, you have captured the Tool experience which is so difficult to explain beyond the amazing music. Thank you for your effort and hours to put it all together. An thanks for identifying my next Tool seat - first balcony, directly facing.
I had my near-death motorcycle accident here in New Zealand in 1990 when I was 26. Ultimately I lost my entire left leg plus hip and left side of my pelvis plus I suffered numerous other internal internal injuries as well. I failed to negotiate a right hand bend on the open road at speed and I fell off my bike and slid in to a farmer's paddock concrete fence post where I instantly amputated my left leg at the knee. I wasn't knocked unconscious. Spent 2 weeks in the Intensive Care Unit of 2 hospitals. Spent a total of 101 days in hospital. I recovered relatively quick as I was very fit from being an athlete; road cyclist and marathon runner. I continued in sport after my accident and began competing in half marathons using crutches on my one good right leg. Then I managed to complete a full marathon on crutches on my one good right leg in 1992. I completed 2 full marathons on crutches in 1994. During the second marathon held in November a friend pulled up alongside me on the other side of the road (he was a fellow road cyclist). As we were both into music he yelled out to me 'Hey have you heard this shit man?' And he cranked his car stereo speakers to max volume. I could hear some pretty cool rock music that I had never ever heard like it before in my life. I yelled out to him 'Who is it?' He yelled back; 'TOOL - it's their first album titled Undertow'. Now at the time I was feeling a little fatigued during my marathon. I think it was about the 25km mark and I had 17km to go before the finish. I guzzled some flat (degassed) coca cola down with carb shots - great instant energy. I could feel my energy pick up and while listening to TOOL - Undertow the energy of the music seemed to transfer in to my mind/body/soul and WOW did I crank out the next 17km on those hospital use aluminum alloy elbow crutches!!!!!! I thought I was going to FLY! I have never forgotten that marathon on crutches in 1994! My friend stayed with me for like something like all of Side One so I listened to 'Intolerance', 'Prison Sex', 'Sober', 'Bottom', 'Crawl Away', 'Swamp Song', 'Undertow', and maybe '4 Degrees'. After that marathon I went and bought the Undertow CD. And I have been a dedicated and loyal Tool listener ever since. I completed 6 half and 6 full marathons on crutches on my one good right leg from 1991 to 1998 all over here in New Zealand. Thank you TOOL very much appreciated. LOVE & RESPECT to you all.
Your story reminds the entire band why they do what they do... Stay excited... You are a dream come true.. To help others dreams just waiting to happen
I think that Tool is a amazing band because this music allows me to travel to another dimension and this poetic lyrics about the human and existence of life, remember and feel like I'm not the only one who hates the system but that loves the creativity of humanity. Please come to Chile, many of us are waiting Tool!!! "Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here." This line represents that I feel and think, only Tool can do this, you are genius!
Man I've been listening to a lot of electronic music lately. But TOOL has long been my favorite band, and this video has gotten me on a kick again. Third Eye is a great opener.
Tool is my favorite band. There were times when I only listened to Tool and considered the rest of the music world as insignificant. That said, I fear that Tool have lost their edge, especially after watching this great vid. Don't get me wrong. There is a reason I consider Tool my favorite band. I love them. Best drummer, best riffs, best bass lines I've ever heard. Best lyrics ever. Best songwriting. Tool created magic. Tool are their own genre. However, Tool are only Tool because of Maynard's anger and angst. The vocals make them special. But Maynard has grown up. He is 50 years old. He is not angry anymore. He doesn't scream anymore. He found peace and got rid of his demons. He seems relaxed nowadays. Good for him. Bad for Tool, or at least for the band called Tool which I love. Well, I hope the new album ( which will be released in 2018 or so...) will prove me wrong. But all things must pass. Tool will always be the best band ever. Long live Tool. The real demons of Rock!
It's the same with Black Sabbath, btw. "13" is a good album. But Ozzy is not angry and mad anymore. He is just an old man. Old Sabbath were great. Iommis' riffs, Geezers' bass licks... And Ozzy, the Madman. The hopeless addict, the idiot, a confused soul. He made Sabbath so special, although he was never a really good vocalist. But he had the vibe. He lost it. Again, that's not his fault. He is not a 25-years-old idiot from Birmingham anymore, he is a senile millionaire. Maynard is neither senile nor really old. And I'm sure he is still a great vocalist. But is he still angry, does he still have the enthusiasm to give EVERYTHING for Tool? Perhaps he's just grown out of it and is sick and tired of fans like me who expect too much and dream of times long gone. I can't blame him...
***** I'm on an endless quest, looking for music which has this magical "toolish" vibe, giving me goosebumps... I found glimpses of it in bands like Karnivool, Isis, Katatonia, Codec, Life of Agony and many others. But nothing comes close to Tool or the emotions transported in Maynards' voice, so I mostly end up with A Perfect Circle anyway.... ;)
You are crazy, they are better than ever..when a band evolves and matures people say they "loose their edge". Just because every song isn't Stinkfist doesn't mean they have lost their edge. They are creative and evolve. Cant wait for another album and tour!
This is probably the best live audio quality of a tool show yet... It's great how clear M's voice is. Nice camera angles. Very well done!!! Makes my month. 😈 Thank you!!
Went to Maynard's Cinquanata last year. His voice is better now than ever! Toward the end of a tour, I've heard his voice get raspy quite often, but he isn't getting worse with age by any means! I've seen him live at least 10 times with and without TOOL. It's only getting better.
That was quite possibly the best live Tool show I've ever seen. Thank you so very much for your continual hard work, dedication, and generosity. It has not gone unnoticed.
I attended this concert in Reno. I have seen a few amateur videos with poor audio. First time seeing this. Great job!! Thanks for putting this up for us to enjoy
Hi, ToolArchive. Thanks for posting this. I remember first time I heard Forty Six & 2 (on a CD in my car heading into a Naval base for work!!) . . . absolutely blew my mind. First time I heard The Pot some years later I was equally blown away (also in my car . . . hmmm). Sure, as other folks have mentioned, Maynard's voice is not what it once was. The kind of singing he does is not kind to the throat, and he might not be in the best physical shape either, which affects the voice. Danny is a monster, of course, and Adam is such a refreshing change in style from the norm. It's Justin who absolutely SHREDS his instrument, though. It's too bad that bass doesn't translate as well in a bigger space vs. on the studio tracks, but that guy can absolutely bring it. He's playing over (and with) all that killer odd time from Danny as well . . . amazing!! Stylistically very different from another of my favorites . . . Rush . . . but the rhythm section reminds me of Rush with such a solid and very, very active bassist/drummer combination over odd time.
My son listened to Tool all the during his 2 tours in Iraq. I looked for the wine to get him as a homecoming surprise, but couldn't find it. Pusifer played here in Spokane in November and my son took me to see them. Enjoyed very much and the time with my boy. He tried to explain to me the difference between Tool and Pusifer. Mr. Keenan is very creative and the band is very talented.
Just want to Thank ToolArchive for this beautiful piece of work. Amazing!! I'm only through Schism and wanted to wait to comment but just couldn't withhold. Tool fans who've seen them in concert and those who haven't (really Tool fans?) have to appreciate this choice selection of live clips. Great editing and syncing of audio/video. Thanks again!!
Amazing HD sound, good camera quality and they are in perfect conditions. Maynard has so pure and powerful voice. And a taste of three brand new songs of the next album. ENJOY!!!! AWESOME!!!!
One of the greatest bands ever. Grew up with them and to this day still playing their stuff and will be till I die. Seen them at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Michigan June 21 1994. I still have my ticket. $22.50 - Marilyn Manson, Tool, Metallica, and forget who else now. I'll never forget this one guy that screamed out "Maynard" nearly the whole set lol.
Thank you so much. You are truly a good person. I am truly thankful for all the work you put into your phenomenal channel you have here. Cheers from Iceland.
The only thing that saddens me is that you really can hear that Maynard's vocals just aren't the same as they were 10-15 years ago. But, that's what happens as you get older I guess. Just hope it won't reflect itself on their album. Great upload anyways Archive. Thanks.
It is age. I have to say, his voice is better on this than when I saw them on the 10,000 days tour. Much improved. I'm fortunate to have seen them from the Undertow days onwards. Lateralus was his peak, but I still love the silly old fucker :)
I think a lot of factors come into play w/ a singers vocals while touring. I usually check before I buy tickets to a show if there's a day or two break in between and the weather from where they've been to where I'm seeing them. Extreme differences have different effects on people I suppose. Age is partially to do w/ it too but some singers still sound amazing to this day.
I think he sounds pretty incredible here, when he's not using that vocal effect from Vicarious especially. His vocals on Pushit here especially impressed me. He can still sing with authority and accuracy when he needs to.
David Yates Yeah David, his vocals were a bit less than expected on that tour. I had seen them on the Lateralus tour two times, and they were pretty amazing there. Here they are pretty close to that on several songs.
They convey an audiovisual show the subconscious, do not need a circus on stage. The music is transcendent, spiritual. You must abstraerte to enjoy the show itself. That is why they are so respected, cross the border of the physical.
The band of my life, thanks for this amazing video because have a great sound. My dream is to see TOOL alive someday, many of us who need to TOOL in Chile. Thanks ToolArchive.
I saw them on this tour. This video captures what it was like when they played "Intension" and they dropped the confetti onto the crowd really well. Being on the floor during that was pretty epic. I wish I would have seen them multiple times on that tour so I could have seen it from up in the seats.
Thank you for uploading this. I am a huge tool fan, but haven't listened to them for a while. It feels awesome to touch base with them again and remember what a stimulating experience it is to listen to TOOL.
I saw that last show in Portland, March 11, Moda Center, been hashing through all these and am grateful you shared them! I can't die until I see them live once more, had tickets to Tacoma May 29, cancelled, fucking COVID.
Seeing them for the 10th time this May 2019. Cant wait. I’ve seen APC 5 times. For those that say Maynard is losing his voice, go to a live show. He is 54 years old. He is the best live singer I have ever seen. I’ve seen them all. Vedder, Cornell, Staley, Grohl, Etc. By far MJK #1. Plus, he’d kick everyone’s ass.
Paul Rizzo Maynard’s voice now compared to 20yrs ago is night and day. He rarely screams now like he used to. Danny is the straw the stirs the drink, not Maynard.
Actually, Danny is my favorite drummer and a total beast. I never said Maynard was the “straw”. Tool is a collective talent. You remove one member and it’s not the same. Maynard isn’t the same guy he was 20 years ago and has pursued a different style with APC. Like I said, you won’t find a bigger fan than me, but it’s a collective effort.
so many people selfishly expect a band to stay the exact way that they prefer as if they are a toy with the sole purpose of their entertainment. Sure styles change, evolve, and singers voices and themes change. So what! they are human beings just like you! Such criticism for a band that has more integrity and heart than just about anybody else out there.
you're right they're human like us. they were allowed to have themselves to themselves too, like a normal human being. p/s: just please release a new album before the end of this year. >
Amazing job ToolArchive!!!!! Thank you so much!!! #1 on my bucket list is to see these guys live before I die. I'd probably die or cry the entire time. Life made. This was an amazing show, they are beasts!
This band is hypnotic, then they make your heart snap your nervous system into a gentle rage. Along for the ride, your soul gets driven into every note. Rinse, repeat. You cant make a drug worthy of these guys!
When he started using the megaphone to perform ticks and leeches live people got all pissed and his explanation was simple. I'm older and I don't want to damage my vocal chords. I'm not as angry as I used to be and don't really want to perform every song where I scream through the whole thing.
He’s in his 50s, he has a lot of abuse to his vocal chords, who cares? I for one am literally planning on flying to multiple cities to see this upcoming album tour with friends
What a top job!!! You should get an award for this. It must have taken loads of work and it's really appreciated! I've been fortunate to see Tool 9 times over the last 21 years and have been waiting ages to re-live the concert effect. Brilliant!!! Thanks again :)
Saw them 12 years ago in Erie Pa when Meshuggah opened for them. It was my first concert. This gets me psyched for the upcoming Album and hopeful visit to PA again. Thanks Tool Archive!
jamnoise72 Only the *BEST WORD EVER*! Although for a Tool concert, I prefer the term mindgasm, because I feel that both my ears and eyes are getting a great lubed-up and half-conscious/half-high-dreamstate fucking.
Dr. Mantis Toboggan, M.D. You high? Ok, Let's fuck. OMG, I can't believe you made me say that - I was only kidding, you know. Welcome to Wisconsin, we all talk like that.
Thank you. Thank you very much for doing this. Almost like I'm there again. The audio is incredible. Very well mixed. Thanks for taking the time to work on it. If TOOL releases a DVD/BR concert I will buy it. For now this is awesome.
ToolArchive...this is fucking phe-no-me-non!!!!!!... Could be one of the next Tool live recordings ever... MJK sounds so fucking great here his vocals are spot on probably working on the new record stretched them good... Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication!
+Jesús Álvarez "it will end no other way!! It will end no other wAAAAYY!" He sounds sharper live than on Aenima...almost 20 years ago...oh that was 20 years ago wooo hooo Happy New Year!! I forgot this year (maybe we'll get that new Tool album though...and a US tour....wooow heeew...It'll end no other wayyy!!
reksub10 I know this is a late-ass reply, but I just saw your comment now. Fibonacci sequence goes as follows (1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21-etc...). The lyrics of this song as follows (count the syllables): black then white are all I see in my infancy red and yellow then came to be reaching out to me lets me see. Also, the fibonacci numbers form a sort of "spiral" when math is involved (you can google it) and this song he sings "spiral out" throughout. Hopes this helps as a response. I also heard that he starts singing on a fibonacci number (in seconds?) but I've never actually counted this on the studio recording yet... maybe I will someday soon.
@jerremy britton...cheers for typing out the lyrics.yeah I've since discovered more about the sequence and this band..a twofor .lol. cheers again mate.
reksub10 The song uses the spiral (specifically the fibonacci spiral) as an analogy for the exponential growth of human potential and experience. The time signature, lyrical rhythms and, more profoundly (for me), the actual lyrics
Thank you for this! What a way to start my morning workout! Love the subtle variations each of them brought to the setlist. And the chemistry of just jamming. That is what makes these guys my favorite. Cant wait to see them a 3rd time when their album drops in November! Thats right, you heard me! Enjoy
I'm a huge fan here but haven't gone to a tool concert since 1992. And the opening song is the reason why here... 90% of this audience don't even know the name of this or what this song is. It's been like this since Stinkfist came out. I saw Tool OPEN up for Henry Rollins in St.Louis at Mississippi Nights - a venue that holds about 200 people. Tool came on about 15 of us there knew and loved the Undertow record and of course followed them to now. But I am convinced that most of the "fans" going to Tool concerts have never watch their old DVD players magically skip ahead to hidden tracks on their works of art or have studied the new technologies (Mandala Drums evolved from the Simmons SDX Brain that ran off of floppy discs for the Ænima / Lateralus recordings and that era or that David Bottrill took their sound to an entirely new level - listen to Ænima (the track) with headphones and "Learn to swim" spins around your head...)... These are not real fans in these audiences in my opinion just from the ways their bodies and energies don't react at all to this music (not saying there should be moshing or headbanging... you can just clearly see they do NOT know this song) and that's disturbing because you know there's some 17 year old kid that knows every chord, every lyric, every break, every build, etc to every song that would kill to be there - and you would just know from his or her energy. I knew it was the end for us true Tool fans when I was living in Huntington Beach, CA and 3 of the biggest douchebags in my building came down to my garage as I was tuning my Rototom Drumkit and actually asked me if I was going to see Tool in L.A. that week bragging that they already had tickets. I made a decision to never purchase another concert ticket knowing that the crowds are filled with posers and that the real fans are just supporting this awesome band remotely by truly studying, enjoying, and applying the meaning of their music to an actual reality to live with an open "THIRD EYE" in every day life - something 90% of the people in the audience in this video know nothing about judging from their "what the fuck is this song? when is "Sober" going to be played?" body language. Love Tool, can't stand the halls filled with such posers... Keep it shoulder-deep Toolians.
To me music is more important to a person in the sense that it has affected their lives. If a person only knows/likes one TOOL song but they associate it with some important life event then it is every bit as spiritual, deep, and real to them as someone who feels that way about them all. I associate a number of TOOL songs with my life because they have been a great part of its soundtrack for the last two decades.. I have so many memories, good and bad, that come to mind when I hear this music. I delved into the ideology and philosophy of TOOL (as well as other bands) some of it I agree with and some I don't but in the end it is about the music. That's my take man, no doubt there are people at these concerts that have no interest whatsoever in the meaning of Maynard's lyrics but that's the way it goes.. it does nothing to diminish the music or the message.
AsaphProject Very well said AsaphProject. I am humbled by your clear vision and ability to put it into words. My take is still that I would rather experience Tool's music (and other quality artists like them) in the company that lean more toward "knowing/understanding/engaging in the band over all" than just one or two songs. But I definitely understand your point of view and thank you for taking the time to compose such a thoughtful and balanced point of view. All the best to you!
Anthem Atica I totally understand and I'm glad that you didn't take offense! I was bracing for an all too typical UA-cam response but you have wonderfully allayed my concern, haha, all the best to you as well :)
This is the most pretentious comment I've ever read. Knowing a band in their early days doesn't give you more credibility to liking them, appreciating them, or seeing them live. If you are so concerned about what others around you at a concert are feeling and doing then maybe you should focus on the MUSIC and not on the crowd. Hooker With a Penis is a song about a fan like you. Enough said

That is the only way to listen to TOOL... at home.
DVD or You Tube. Save you money. Worst stage show ever.
Stephanie James Keenan this me with every song 😂
Danny's drums sound so good
Bass microphone is perfectly placed
Drum tech deserves respect
Did amazing job
Don't care that Maynard is getting older, I would run a marathon to get a chance to see Tool live
Bassdoge start walking daily
***** God damn, I bet!
Bassdoge Me too!

Well I would be tickled pink if they played more off undertow and opiate.
Just finished watching the whole vid.. holy freaking shit, it's so beautiful I'm just sitting here crying right now.
XXX Angel Room 225...
Maynard's vocals on Pushit were on fucking point. I love this song. Why can't people just shut the fuck up and listen without making snide comments about how they sound. They've been around longer than some of you have been alive. Show them a little respect. Not every show is going to be on point. Not every album is going to resonate with fans. Quit worrying how the new album will be if and when it becomes available. Just listen, and realize that a band of this caliber is still able to make albums, and as a fan, I'm eternally grateful for that.
Thank you for this comment :)
Fuck. Nice man . Take em to school.
Indeed mate🤘🏻
💯🙌🏼.... 🤘🏻🌀👁🌀🤘🏻
More beautiful words were never spoken, least not 2day..
ToolArchive have no words to describe how much i love you for this.
@Ted Wilson wat
Ted Wilson chill bro
Ted Wilson I don’t think their needs to be poetry in someone explaining their enjoyment level of a band.
The way they release their albums is like the fibonacci sequence or some other math sequence; 1 year, 1 year, 2 years, 6 years, 15 years, 123, years, 14264 years.
you've cracked the secret!
do you even know math ?
shhhh
Fuck, that means we still got another 5 years to wait. Fuck.
Hey Felix T-Rex, the Fibonnacci sequence is built with the sum of the two previous numbers !
So this should be 1 year, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years, 8 years, 13 years and so on...

Adam: "Throw a stick over there"
Danny: "Lol no"
Tool - amazing as always. After following them since 1991 I've seen them on every tour, every album, always front row and watched them evolve from an angry headstrong band to a mind thoughtful, art-driven experience. ToolArchive, you have captured the Tool experience which is so difficult to explain beyond the amazing music. Thank you for your effort and hours to put it all together. An thanks for identifying my next Tool seat - first balcony, directly facing.
The way Danny smacks that gong at the end of Lateralus is just...
I never realized how crazy the bass part is on Third Eye
This is why I've been leaning towards listening to live shows! I hear so much more!
Third eye in general is f’n awesome! I’m pretty sure I’ve heard that is the band’s fav song to play live.
what about 46 and 2 being 1 riff

So much chugga chugga
I had my near-death motorcycle accident here in New Zealand in 1990 when I was 26. Ultimately I lost my entire left leg plus hip and left side of my pelvis plus I suffered numerous other internal internal injuries as well. I failed to negotiate a right hand bend on the open road at speed and I fell off my bike and slid in to a farmer's paddock concrete fence post where I instantly amputated my left leg at the knee. I wasn't knocked unconscious. Spent 2 weeks in the Intensive Care Unit of 2 hospitals. Spent a total of 101 days in hospital. I recovered relatively quick as I was very fit from being an athlete; road cyclist and marathon runner. I continued in sport after my accident and began competing in half marathons using crutches on my one good right leg. Then I managed to complete a full marathon on crutches on my one good right leg in 1992. I completed 2 full marathons on crutches in 1994. During the second marathon held in November a friend pulled up alongside me on the other side of the road (he was a fellow road cyclist). As we were both into music he yelled out to me 'Hey have you heard this shit man?' And he cranked his car stereo speakers to max volume. I could hear some pretty cool rock music that I had never ever heard like it before in my life. I yelled out to him 'Who is it?' He yelled back; 'TOOL - it's their first album titled Undertow'. Now at the time I was feeling a little fatigued during my marathon. I think it was about the 25km mark and I had 17km to go before the finish. I guzzled some flat (degassed) coca cola down with carb shots - great instant energy. I could feel my energy pick up and while listening to TOOL - Undertow the energy of the music seemed to transfer in to my mind/body/soul and WOW did I crank out the next 17km on those hospital use aluminum alloy elbow crutches!!!!!! I thought I was going to FLY! I have never forgotten that marathon on crutches in 1994! My friend stayed with me for like something like all of Side One so I listened to 'Intolerance', 'Prison Sex', 'Sober', 'Bottom', 'Crawl Away', 'Swamp Song', 'Undertow', and maybe '4 Degrees'. After that marathon I went and bought the Undertow CD. And I have been a dedicated and loyal Tool listener ever since. I completed 6 half and 6 full marathons on crutches on my one good right leg from 1991 to 1998 all over here in New Zealand. Thank you TOOL very much appreciated. LOVE & RESPECT to you all.
Goddamm fucking respect to YOU
Your story reminds the entire band why they do what they do...
Stay excited...
You are a dream come true..
To help others dreams just waiting to happen
I think that Tool is a amazing band because this music allows me to travel to another dimension and this poetic lyrics about the human and existence of life, remember and feel like I'm not the only one who hates the system but that loves the creativity of humanity. Please come to Chile, many of us are waiting Tool!!!
"Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here." This line represents that I feel and think, only Tool can do this, you are genius!
Cheers mate
I can't get past 2D on this damn phone...
+Constanza Cifuentes exacto que gusto saber que mas latinos disfrutan y entienden lo maravilloso de su musica
QUE VENGAN A CHILE CTM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! y podré morir en paz :')
Man I've been listening to a lot of electronic music lately. But TOOL has long been my favorite band, and this video has gotten me on a kick again. Third Eye is a great opener.
It's hard to believe this was recorded in 2014, Maynard's voice is fucking perfect.
Tool is my favorite band. There were times when I only listened to Tool and considered the rest of the music world as insignificant.
That said, I fear that Tool have lost their edge, especially after watching this great vid. Don't get me wrong. There is a reason I consider Tool my favorite band. I love them. Best drummer, best riffs, best bass lines I've ever heard. Best lyrics ever. Best songwriting. Tool created magic. Tool are their own genre.
However, Tool are only Tool because of Maynard's anger and angst. The vocals make them special. But Maynard has grown up. He is 50 years old. He is not angry anymore. He doesn't scream anymore. He found peace and got rid of his demons. He seems relaxed nowadays. Good for him. Bad for Tool, or at least for the band called Tool which I love. Well, I hope the new album ( which will be released in 2018 or so...) will prove me wrong. But all things must pass. Tool will always be the best band ever.
Long live Tool. The real demons of Rock!
It's the same with Black Sabbath, btw. "13" is a good album. But Ozzy is not angry and mad anymore. He is just an old man. Old Sabbath were great. Iommis' riffs, Geezers' bass licks... And Ozzy, the Madman. The hopeless addict, the idiot, a confused soul. He made Sabbath so special, although he was never a really good vocalist. But he had the vibe. He lost it. Again, that's not his fault. He is not a 25-years-old idiot from Birmingham anymore, he is a senile millionaire. Maynard is neither senile nor really old. And I'm sure he is still a great vocalist. But is he still angry, does he still have the enthusiasm to give EVERYTHING for Tool? Perhaps he's just grown out of it and is sick and tired of fans like me who expect too much and dream of times long gone. I can't blame him...
wow this is terrifyingly true
***** I'm on an endless quest, looking for music which has this magical "toolish" vibe, giving me goosebumps... I found glimpses of it in bands like Karnivool, Isis, Katatonia, Codec, Life of Agony and many others. But nothing comes close to Tool or the emotions transported in Maynards' voice, so I mostly end up with A Perfect Circle anyway.... ;)
They sold-out long before you ever heard their name. But they can have my fatass dirty dollar anyway.
You are crazy, they are better than ever..when a band evolves and matures people say they "loose their edge". Just because every song isn't Stinkfist doesn't mean they have lost their edge. They are creative and evolve. Cant wait for another album and tour!
Zajebisty koncert. Aż żal ściska, że w Polsce byli ponad 10 lat temu. Best wishes to all Tool fans from Poland :)
This is probably the best live audio quality of a tool show yet... It's great how clear M's voice is. Nice camera angles. Very well done!!! Makes my month. 😈 Thank you!!
Truly amazing! Tool will forever be my favorite and most inspirational band!
Went to Maynard's Cinquanata last year. His voice is better now than ever! Toward the end of a tour, I've heard his voice get raspy quite often, but he isn't getting worse with age by any means! I've seen him live at least 10 times with and without TOOL. It's only getting better.
Better than 1993 Maynard?
That was quite possibly the best live Tool show I've ever seen. Thank you so very much for your continual hard work, dedication, and generosity. It has not gone unnoticed.
I attended this concert in Reno. I have seen a few amateur videos with poor audio. First time seeing this. Great job!! Thanks for putting this up for us to enjoy
I was at this show as well. Fourth time seeing them since 1994. They still put on an amazing show! Can't wait to see them again!
The sound quality is close to perfection here. Thanks for all the good work
Alessandro Cerusico at the start of vicarious you can’t hear anything other than the guitar though 🙄
Thank you for making this.. My peeps and I were at this show.. And a few of them were Virgins to the TOOL experience.. Tremendous Concert!! Cheers,
Tool are one of the best bands to come out of the 90's for sure....
Ever lol
Hi, ToolArchive. Thanks for posting this. I remember first time I heard Forty Six & 2 (on a CD in my car heading into a Naval base for work!!) . . . absolutely blew my mind. First time I heard The Pot some years later I was equally blown away (also in my car . . . hmmm). Sure, as other folks have mentioned, Maynard's voice is not what it once was. The kind of singing he does is not kind to the throat, and he might not be in the best physical shape either, which affects the voice. Danny is a monster, of course, and Adam is such a refreshing change in style from the norm. It's Justin who absolutely SHREDS his instrument, though. It's too bad that bass doesn't translate as well in a bigger space vs. on the studio tracks, but that guy can absolutely bring it. He's playing over (and with) all that killer odd time from Danny as well . . . amazing!! Stylistically very different from another of my favorites . . . Rush . . . but the rhythm section reminds me of Rush with such a solid and very, very active bassist/drummer combination over odd time.
My son listened to Tool all the during his 2 tours in Iraq. I looked for the wine to get him as a homecoming surprise, but couldn't find it. Pusifer played here in Spokane in November and my son took me to see them. Enjoyed very much and the time with my boy. He tried to explain to me the difference between Tool and Pusifer. Mr. Keenan is very creative and the band is very talented.
I've taken my Dad to shows and he just called to tell me he watched this and was really into it. I can assure you your son feels the same sentiments.
You are a good son.
+First Sun You are a good Sun
Just want to Thank ToolArchive for this beautiful piece of work. Amazing!! I'm only through Schism and wanted to wait to comment but just couldn't withhold. Tool fans who've seen them in concert and those who haven't (really Tool fans?) have to appreciate this choice selection of live clips. Great editing and syncing of audio/video. Thanks again!!
That gong hit @1:07:10 is insane. so fluid
mytt88 Always thought it was epic to have a gong around for one single note in a 2 hour performance.
Steve Hayward Exactly
It was so loud it clipped concert mics!
Amazing job. I've watched this about 20 times to this day. Gets better every time!
Haven't seen this band play live since 1998. They are STILL such a Great Live Band. Epic Video. Thanks for posting
Amazing HD sound, good camera quality and they are in perfect conditions. Maynard has so pure and powerful voice. And a taste of three brand new songs of the next album. ENJOY!!!! AWESOME!!!!
Art in its purest form, always changing and evolving. The guys still have it.
Yupp just saw them 2x in Dublin and in Budapest - one of the best 2 hours in my life. Words cannot describe the gratitude I felt to be there
Man, Third Eye sounds absolutely phenomenal. Great work on this remaster
One of the greatest bands ever. Grew up with them and to this day still playing their stuff and will be till I die. Seen them at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Michigan June 21 1994. I still have my ticket. $22.50 - Marilyn Manson, Tool, Metallica, and forget who else now. I'll never forget this one guy that screamed out "Maynard" nearly the whole set lol.
nice job on the camera angles. that's probably the closest thing fans will get to a concert DVD. well done
Oh Tool you are so officially on the artistic roles, Bill Hicks would be so proud.
thanks for putting so much love into this
Thank you so much. You are truly a good person. I am truly thankful for all the work you put into your phenomenal channel you have here. Cheers from Iceland.
Thanks again Tool Archive for uploading all these awesome videos, I always return to them when I need to hear and see amazing Tool Band.
TOOL is the creation of a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts ~ but Danny, you are a monster of a drummer !!!
I was at this show in Reno, NV. It was my fourth time seeing Tool since 1994. They are still amazing and I can't wait to see them again!
The only thing that saddens me is that you really can hear that Maynard's vocals just aren't the same as they were 10-15 years ago. But, that's what happens as you get older I guess. Just hope it won't reflect itself on their album.
Great upload anyways Archive. Thanks.
It is age. I have to say, his voice is better on this than when I saw them on the 10,000 days tour. Much improved. I'm fortunate to have seen them from the Undertow days onwards. Lateralus was his peak, but I still love the silly old fucker :)
I think a lot of factors come into play w/ a singers vocals while touring. I usually check before I buy tickets to a show if there's a day or two break in between and the weather from where they've been to where I'm seeing them. Extreme differences have different effects on people I suppose. Age is partially to do w/ it too but some singers still sound amazing to this day.
Tom Jones for example, he can still belt it out!!
I think he sounds pretty incredible here, when he's not using that vocal effect from Vicarious especially. His vocals on Pushit here especially impressed me. He can still sing with authority and accuracy when he needs to.
David Yates Yeah David, his vocals were a bit less than expected on that tour. I had seen them on the Lateralus tour two times, and they were pretty amazing there. Here they are pretty close to that on several songs.
The audio on this is unreal! Thank you. What a killer show.
My man loves Tool!
Tool is the only band I would go by myself to see. Maybe I would for A Perfect Circle as well.
TOOL live is life changing.. This show was even better in person!!
Thanks! was at the Cumbre Tajin concert flew all the way from NZ so glad you got some footage from there. Legend!
They convey an audiovisual show the subconscious, do not need a circus on stage. The music is transcendent, spiritual. You must abstraerte to enjoy the show itself. That is why they are so respected, cross the border of the physical.
Thanks so much ToolArchive!!!!Beyond awesome!!!Always a pleasure to watch Masters work such beautiful ART!!!!!
"WELCOME TO THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH"
Hey! Could you tell me how much this DVD is worth?
The band of my life, thanks for this amazing video because have a great sound. My dream is to see TOOL alive someday, many of us who need to TOOL in Chile. Thanks ToolArchive.
third eye is such a powerful song
I saw them on this tour. This video captures what it was like when they played "Intension" and they dropped the confetti onto the crowd really well. Being on the floor during that was pretty epic. I wish I would have seen them multiple times on that tour so I could have seen it from up in the seats.
this band changed my life!
Thank you for uploading this. I am a huge tool fan, but haven't listened to them for a while. It feels awesome to touch base with them again and remember what a stimulating experience it is to listen to TOOL.
Tool represents way of thinking by making music without limits or paying reverence to music industry. Awesome power of expression!!!
How can anyone not think this is awesome? Long live the mighty TOOL! Aging like wine.
ToolArchive...I love you...I love you...thank you... :')
I saw that last show in Portland, March 11, Moda Center, been hashing through all these and am grateful you shared them! I can't die until I see them live once more, had tickets to Tacoma May 29, cancelled, fucking COVID.
Seeing them for the 10th time this May 2019. Cant wait. I’ve seen APC 5 times. For those that say Maynard is losing his voice, go to a live show. He is 54 years old. He is the best live singer I have ever seen. I’ve seen them all. Vedder, Cornell, Staley, Grohl, Etc. By far MJK #1. Plus, he’d kick everyone’s ass.
Paul Rizzo
Maynard’s voice now compared to 20yrs ago is night and day. He rarely screams now like he used to. Danny is the straw the stirs the drink, not Maynard.
Actually, Danny is my favorite drummer and a total beast. I never said Maynard was the “straw”. Tool is a collective talent. You remove one member and it’s not the same. Maynard isn’t the same guy he was 20 years ago and has pursued a different style with APC. Like I said, you won’t find a bigger fan than me, but it’s a collective effort.
I'm seeing them for the first time May 10th. Have been trying to see them live for 20 years.
Thank you. I really appreciate your time and efforts to bring us what's long overdue from tool.
Intension was honestly a strange live song choice. But it sounds good.
I'm glad they don't feel limited to playing ONLY their hits.
Intention should have right in two following it, they fit like disposition/reflection
I think that during INTENSION...I felt every emotion there possibly is...thank you for the upload, you save lifes!!
Best live band.....END OF STORY!!!! Saw them in an outdoor amphitheatre.... It was amazing seeing the lazers travel on forever....
Thank you so much for putting the work in to get this up. Amazing job ToolArchive
so many people selfishly expect a band to stay the exact way that they prefer as if they are a toy with the sole purpose of their entertainment. Sure styles change, evolve, and singers voices and themes change. So what! they are human beings just like you! Such criticism for a band that has more integrity and heart than just about anybody else out there.
you're right they're human like us. they were allowed to have themselves to themselves too, like a normal human being. p/s: just please release a new album before the end of this year. >
Amazing job ToolArchive!!!!! Thank you so much!!! #1 on my bucket list is to see these guys live before I die. I'd probably die or cry the entire time. Life made. This was an amazing show, they are beasts!
3:50 Maynard comes in too early and then Justin and Adam give each other a look and laugh
Adam was like damnit I wasn't done 🤣
This band is hypnotic, then they make your heart snap your nervous system into a gentle rage. Along for the ride, your soul gets driven into every note. Rinse, repeat. You cant make a drug worthy of these guys!
kicking it off with third eye!
Congratulation to ToolArchive. Thanks for give us this precious moments. :)
When he started using the megaphone to perform ticks and leeches live people got all pissed and his explanation was simple. I'm older and I don't want to damage my vocal chords. I'm not as angry as I used to be and don't really want to perform every song where I scream through the whole thing.
He’s in his 50s, he has a lot of abuse to his vocal chords, who cares? I for one am literally planning on flying to multiple cities to see this upcoming album tour with friends
What a top job!!! You should get an award for this. It must have taken loads of work and it's really appreciated! I've been fortunate to see Tool 9 times over the last 21 years and have been waiting ages to re-live the concert effect. Brilliant!!! Thanks again :)
30:10 gives me chills, so bad ass.
7 years later and the same thing happened to me, haha
thank you tool archive! your music helps me get through this magic moment we call life. thank you for all you do and the wine is tasty as well.
1:39:09 of pure musical excellence.
thanks for the upload, love this powerful electrifying band since i love music
Dan Carey is sick on drums
You're god damn right
...and still finds time to peek in the laptop:-). Scrolling comments I guess.
Hey ToolArchive, glad to see you got your videos back. I especially missed this one!
Tool is really good at keeping themselves private, they aren't on iTunes or Spotify
Saw them 12 years ago in Erie Pa when Meshuggah opened for them. It was my first concert. This gets me psyched for the upcoming Album and hopeful visit to PA again. Thanks Tool Archive!
Forty Six & 2..............................eargasm! :)
Eargasm!!!! love it!!!! =)
Wassup Jackie!!! :)
it is so good. Love the vocals
jamnoise72 Only the *BEST WORD EVER*! Although for a Tool concert, I prefer the term mindgasm, because I feel that both my ears and eyes are getting a great lubed-up and half-conscious/half-high-dreamstate fucking.
Dr. Mantis Toboggan, M.D. You high? Ok, Let's fuck. OMG, I can't believe you made me say that - I was only kidding, you know. Welcome to Wisconsin, we all talk like that.
Thank you. Thank you very much for doing this. Almost like I'm there again.
The audio is incredible. Very well mixed. Thanks for taking the time to work on it. If TOOL releases a DVD/BR concert I will buy it. For now this is awesome.
Necesitamos que venga tool a argentinaaaa ♡
Hermoso! Gracias a la gente que se tomo la molestia de editar este archivo!
Schism is not my favorite song but this time it was fantastic.
ToolArchive...this is fucking phe-no-me-non!!!!!!... Could be one of the next Tool live recordings ever... MJK sounds so fucking great here his vocals are spot on probably working on the new record stretched them good... Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication!
23:11 Why sing the awesome final verse, when I can take a fucking selfie?
ToolArchive Yeah, I know that, but at first glance it really looked like a selfie. I found it hilarious!
+ToolArchive crowd of monster mash dominates this crowd on the end of vicarious
+Jesús Álvarez the final verse is too high for him to sustainably sing anymore that's why he almost always let's it out.
+Jesús Álvarez How about a low growling voice? Would be happy with that. Not complaining...They are Gods.
+Jesús Álvarez "it will end no other way!! It will end no other wAAAAYY!" He sounds sharper live than on Aenima...almost 20 years ago...oh that was 20 years ago wooo hooo Happy New Year!! I forgot this year (maybe we'll get that new Tool album though...and a US tour....wooow heeew...It'll end no other wayyy!!
One day, this video will have 3 million views!
tnx 4 the hard work, loving every second of it!
Descending in 2014....and they made us wait 5 years ....haha
I've been to A LOT of concerts in my day, but seeing Tool was a revelation for me. AWESOME!
i heard that the song "lateralus" was built around the fibonacci sequence.
is this true?help.
thanks TA..cheers.
reksub10 I know this is a late-ass reply, but I just saw your comment now. Fibonacci sequence goes as follows (1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21-etc...). The lyrics of this song as follows (count the syllables):
black
then
white are
all I see
in my infancy
red and yellow then came to be
reaching out to me
lets me see.
Also, the fibonacci numbers form a sort of "spiral" when math is involved (you can google it) and this song he sings "spiral out" throughout.
Hopes this helps as a response. I also heard that he starts singing on a fibonacci number (in seconds?) but I've never actually counted this on the studio recording yet... maybe I will someday soon.
@jerremy britton...cheers for typing out the lyrics.yeah I've since discovered more about the sequence and this band..a twofor .lol. cheers again mate.
Jeremy Bitton It's also incorporated into the time signature as well.
reksub10 The song uses the spiral (specifically the fibonacci spiral) as an analogy for the exponential growth of human potential and experience. The time signature, lyrical rhythms and, more profoundly (for me), the actual lyrics
Thank you for this! What a way to start my morning workout! Love the subtle variations each of them brought to the setlist. And the chemistry of just jamming. That is what makes these guys my favorite. Cant wait to see them a 3rd time when their album drops in November! Thats right, you heard me! Enjoy
3 people subjectively suck!
I'm a huge fan here but haven't gone to a tool concert since 1992. And the opening song is the reason why here... 90% of this audience don't even know the name of this or what this song is. It's been like this since Stinkfist came out. I saw Tool OPEN up for Henry Rollins in St.Louis at Mississippi Nights - a venue that holds about 200 people. Tool came on about 15 of us there knew and loved the Undertow record and of course followed them to now. But I am convinced that most of the "fans" going to Tool concerts have never watch their old DVD players magically skip ahead to hidden tracks on their works of art or have studied the new technologies (Mandala Drums evolved from the Simmons SDX Brain that ran off of floppy discs for the Ænima / Lateralus recordings and that era or that David Bottrill took their sound to an entirely new level - listen to Ænima (the track) with headphones and "Learn to swim" spins around your head...)... These are not real fans in these audiences in my opinion just from the ways their bodies and energies don't react at all to this music (not saying there should be moshing or headbanging... you can just clearly see they do NOT know this song) and that's disturbing because you know there's some 17 year old kid that knows every chord, every lyric, every break, every build, etc to every song that would kill to be there - and you would just know from his or her energy.
I knew it was the end for us true Tool fans when I was living in Huntington Beach, CA and 3 of the biggest douchebags in my building came down to my garage as I was tuning my Rototom Drumkit and actually asked me if I was going to see Tool in L.A. that week bragging that they already had tickets. I made a decision to never purchase another concert ticket knowing that the crowds are filled with posers and that the real fans are just supporting this awesome band remotely by truly studying, enjoying, and applying the meaning of their music to an actual reality to live with an open "THIRD EYE" in every day life - something 90% of the people in the audience in this video know nothing about judging from their "what the fuck is this song? when is "Sober" going to be played?" body language. Love Tool, can't stand the halls filled with such posers...
Keep it shoulder-deep Toolians.
To me music is more important to a person in the sense that it has affected their lives. If a person only knows/likes one TOOL song but they associate it with some important life event then it is every bit as spiritual, deep, and real to them as someone who feels that way about them all. I associate a number of TOOL songs with my life because they have been a great part of its soundtrack for the last two decades.. I have so many memories, good and bad, that come to mind when I hear this music. I delved into the ideology and philosophy of TOOL (as well as other bands) some of it I agree with and some I don't but in the end it is about the music. That's my take man, no doubt there are people at these concerts that have no interest whatsoever in the meaning of Maynard's lyrics but that's the way it goes.. it does nothing to diminish the music or the message.
AsaphProject
Very well said AsaphProject. I am humbled by your clear vision and ability to put it into words. My take is still that I would rather experience Tool's music (and other quality artists like them) in the company that lean more toward "knowing/understanding/engaging in the band over all" than just one or two songs. But I definitely understand your point of view and thank you for taking the time to compose such a thoughtful and balanced point of view. All the best to you!
Anthem Atica I totally understand and I'm glad that you didn't take offense! I was bracing for an all too typical UA-cam response but you have wonderfully allayed my concern, haha, all the best to you as well :)
:)
This is the most pretentious comment I've ever read. Knowing a band in their early days doesn't give you more credibility to liking them, appreciating them, or seeing them live. If you are so concerned about what others around you at a concert are feeling and doing then maybe you should focus on the MUSIC and not on the crowd. Hooker With a Penis is a song about a fan like you. Enough said
Why are people giving this thumbs down????!!!!!!!! This is A-MAZING!!
