The live recording of "Third Eye" on November 30, 1996, captures Tool in a pivotal moment in their career, just before the release of their highly acclaimed album "Ænima" in 1996. This album marked a significant leap in their sound, blending progressive rock with elements of alternative metal and showcasing their complex lyrical themes. During this era, Tool was known for their intense live performances that included elaborate visual offerings, which set them apart from many contemporaries. Interestingly, the 'Third Eye' song reflects themes of perception and awareness, which are deep-seated in the band's ethos. By esteeming artistic expression over commercial success, Tool solidified their reputation, a journey that culminated in remarkable shows like the one in Toronto that night.
