Tool

On August 15, 1993, Tool performed at the Big Melee Festival in Ka'a'awa, Hawaii, showcasing their raw and dynamic energy during a pivotal time in their career. At this point, they had released their sophomore album, 'Undertow,' just a few months earlier in April 1993, which was critical in establishing their sound and identity in a crowded rock scene. This live recording captures a band still in the process of breaking through, with tracks like 'Cold & Ugly' delivering the heavy and introspective tones that fans would come to love. Interestingly, 'Undertow' was Tool's first album to gain significant attention, paving the way for their later masterpieces. The concert also took place in a unique setting that matches Tool's penchant for blending music with visual artistry, making it an unforgettable experience for attendees and a vital document of their early artistry.
