Tool

During the live recording of 'Undertow' on March 3, 1995, Tool was riding high on the success of their second studio album, 'Undertow', which was released in 1993. This album marked a significant turning point for the band, catapulting them into the mainstream rock scene with hits like 'Sober' and 'Prison Sex'. Interestingly, 'Undertow' showcased a darker and more introspective sound, setting the tone for the complex, layered music Tool would become known for. The venue in San Bernardino was packed, showcasing Tool's growing fanbase, and the energy was electric. Lateral shifts in their music direction were hinted at during this period, as they would later explore more progressive and intricate soundscapes in their subsequent works. The band's distinct blend of heavy metal and art rock truly came to life in performances like this one, leaving a lasting impression on their audience.
