Tool

In April 1994, Tool was riding high on the success of their debut studio album, 'Undertow,' which had dropped just the previous year. The live recording of 'Sweat' from that show at The Bomb Factory in Dallas gives us a glimpse of a band on the brink of iconic status, blending art rock with heavy metal in a way few had before. By this time, 'Undertow' was climbing the charts, and the band was gaining a dedicated following. An interesting note about this performance is that it came during a pivotal moment as Tool was transitioning into a more experimental sound that would define their later works. This era also reflects the raw energy that characterized their early live shows, making recordings like this feel incredibly intimate and significant for fans.
