Tool Live Performance of Cold & Ugly and Intolerance in Atlanta 1994
In July 1994, Tool was right in the midst of their burgeoning influence in the rock scene with their sophomore album, 'Undertow,' which had been released just a few months earlier that March. This live performance in Belgium showcases a band that was gaining momentum, both critically and commercially. With 'Undertow' featuring songs like 'Sober' and 'Prison Sex,' Tool was beginning to carve out their unique space with heavy, intricately layered music combined with thought-provoking lyrics. The concert also highlights their intense live energy, which was critical to their reputation, drawing fans into their darker, introspective sound. Fun fact: the band was known for their striking visuals during live shows, and this period marked the start of their journey to becoming a major force in alternative metal.
