Tool

On October 16, 1996, Tool performed a powerful live set at The Glass House in Pomona, California, capturing the raw energy of their evolving sound. This performance came right after the release of their critically acclaimed album 'Ænima,' which debuted just months earlier that year. 'Ænima' showcased a darker, more complex side of Tool, blending heavy metal with introspective lyrics that explored themes of nihilism and transformation. This live recording of 'Eulogy' reflects the band's artistic growth and maturity, as well as their deep connection with the audience, who were likely eager to experience this fresh material. Interestingly, the song itself is a nuanced critique of hypocrisy, drawing from personal loss, which aligns with Tool's signature thought-provoking style. Fans at the show would feel the palpable intensity of the band's performance, a hallmark of Tool's early live shows.
