Live Performance of Demon Cleaner by Tool featuring Scott Reeder San Diego 1998

Date: November 30, 1997

In late 1997, Tool was cruising through a significant phase in their career, riding high on the success of their groundbreaking album, "Ænima," released that same year. This album not only solidified their place in the alternative metal scene but also showcased their unique soundscapes, which blended heavy riffs with thought-provoking lyrics. The live recording of "Demon Cleaner," a cover of Kyuss's song, captures a moment filled with raw energy and a glimpse into Tool's artistic evolution post-"Ænima." Interestingly, the band's penchant for elaborate visuals and conceptual depth wasn't just limited to albums; it extended into their performances, which were designed to create an immersive experience. This remastered footage from a San Diego show highlights their commitment to live artistry, inviting fans to not just hear but feel the music in a shared space.
