Tool

The live performance of 'Forty Six & 2' from Tool on October 16, 1996, is a pivotal moment in the band's career, marking their first show in support of the 'Ænima' album. Released just weeks prior, on September 17, 1996, 'Ænima' showcased Tool's evolution, blending heavy metal with progressive and art rock elements. This album not only solidified their unique sound but also explored themes of personal growth and spirituality. Interestingly, the concert took place at The Glass House in Pomona, which has become an iconic venue for many up-and-coming bands, and this show helped set the tone for Tool’s intense live performances. Fans have often highlighted the raw energy and depth of the band's connection with their audience, particularly during this era, contributing to the cult status that Tool enjoys today.
