Live Performance of Stinkfist and Bottom by TOOL from 1995 Concert

Venue: Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena Location: Oakland, California, United States Date: December 31, 1995

On December 31, 1995, Tool delivered a powerhouse performance at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena, electrifying fans with their unique blend of metal and progressive rock. Just before this live recording, the band had released their critically acclaimed album 'Ænima' in September 1996, which marked a significant turning point in their career. This album explored darker themes and showcased a more complex sound, setting them apart in the alternative scene. Notably, 'Stinkfist' had already begun to resonate with audiences, and its presence in this setlist underscores Tool's commitment to pushing musical boundaries. The December gig not only highlighted their evolving style but also allowed fans to experience the raw energy and intensity that defined their live shows during this period. It was a moment where their artistry collided perfectly with the vibrant atmosphere of a New Year's celebration.
