Tool

In July 1998, Tool was riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album "Ænima," which had been released almost two years earlier in 1996. By this point, the band was solidifying their reputation for intense, immersive live performances, blending complex musicality with striking visual artistry. The live recording of "Pushit" from the Toledo Sports Arena captures this energy beautifully. It’s also interesting to note that Tool was known for their evolving sound, and by this time, they were already starting to explore deeper themes, reflecting on personal and societal struggles. This concert is a glimpse into their tour supporting "Ænima," highlighting a band that was still finding its footing in an ever-changing musical landscape, while captivating audiences with a unique audaciousness that would define their legacy.
