Tool

In November 1996, Tool was riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album, 'Ænima', which had been released just weeks earlier that September. This live recording from the Electric Factory captures the band in their prime, blending progressive rock with heavy metal in a way that resonated deeply with their growing fanbase. The energy in their performances during this era was electric, showcasing not just their musical prowess but also the theatricality component that would come to define their live shows. It's interesting to note that at this point, Tool was still carving out their unique identity, moving beyond the grunge wave of the early '90s to create something truly avant-garde. Fans experienced a raw and intense representation of 'Ænima' tracks, making this concert a pivotal moment in both the band's and fans' journeys.
