Tool

In August 1998, Tool was riding the wave of their critically acclaimed album 'Ænima,' released just a year prior. This live recording from the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium captures the band during a pivotal moment in their career, as they were solidifying their place in rock with their unique blend of progressive metal and thought-provoking lyrics. Interestingly, around this time, frontman Maynard James Keenan was also known for his eccentric stage presence, which often included humorous interactions with the audience—like handing out cupcakes, as hinted in the video description. The dynamic performances during this era showcased Tool's growing fanbase and the intense energy their concerts generated, setting the stage for their subsequent success.
