Venue: Club With No Name Location: Los Angeles, California, United States Date: October 7, 1991

On October 7, 1991, Tool delivered an electrifying performance at the Club With No Name in Los Angeles, opening for Too Free Stooges. This live recording places us in a fascinating moment in Tool's journey, as it was just before they released their debut studio album, "Undertow," which would come out in April 1993. During this period, Tool was still in the process of honing their unique sound that would later become emblematic of the band—an intricate blend of heavy metal, progressive rock, and a dash of art-rock flair. Notably, the band's performance style was already captivating audiences, showcasing the powerful visual elements and complex rhythms that they would become known for. Interestingly, the early '90s were a time of explosive creativity and change for the music scene, and Tool was right there, fueling the fire with their raw energy and ambitious music.
