Tool

In this electrifying live performance from February 27, 1997, Tool delivered a stunning set at Convention Hall in Asbury Park, New Jersey. By this time, they had just released their critically acclaimed album "Ænima" in late 1996, which marked a significant turning point in their career. "Ænima" showcased a more complex sound, blending heavy metal with progressive rock elements, and exploring deep, often dark themes that resonated with fans. The intensity of that night’s performance captured the band's evolution, as they moved from underground sensations to mainstream success. Notably, the live rendition of "Intolerance" exemplifies their raw energy and artistic depth, setting the stage for their future explorations. It's fascinating to think about how this period not only solidified their identity but also pushed the boundaries of the genre, leaving an indelible mark on both their fans and contemporary music.
