Tool

In October 1993, Tool was riding the wave of success from their debut studio album, "Undertow," released earlier that year. Fresh off the critical acclaim and burgeoning popularity, they played a live show at Salle Bienfait in Saint-Quentin, France, where they performed their breakout hit "Sober." Interestingly, this era marked a transitional phase for Tool; they were on the cusp of becoming a household name in the progressive metal scene, and their sound—characterized by intricate rhythms and thought-provoking lyrics—was evolving. The performance captured on video is particularly notable as it showcases the band in their raw form, long before the grandiosity of later productions, yet brimming with the intense energy that has come to define their concerts.
