Tool

By late 1995, Tool had already made significant waves in the rock scene with their critically acclaimed album "Undertow," which was released earlier that year. This live recording from December 31, 1995, captures the band just as they were beginning to propel into the mainstream, showcasing their unique blend of progressive rock and heavy metal that would eventually become their signature sound. Performing at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena, Tool's presence was electrifying, and this concert marked a pivotal moment as they prepared for their next studio effort, "Ænima," which would elevate their career even further. It's interesting to note that this live performance occurred just as the band began to develop their intricate visual themes and elaborate stage setups that fans have come to love. The energy, the atmosphere—it’s all palpable and represents a crucial time in their evolution as artists.
