TOOL Live Performance at Coachella 1999 featuring Intolerance and Hooker With A Penis

Venue: Empire Polo Club Location: Indio, California, United States Date: October 10, 1999

At the time of this electrifying performance at Coachella 1999, Tool was riding the wave of their breakthrough album "Ænima," which had been released just two years prior. This album not only cemented their place in the rock scene but also showcased their unique blend of heavy metal and progressive rock elements, setting the stage for their evolving sound. The setlist featured fan-favorites like "Forty Six & 2" and "Hooker With A Penis," reflecting the album's darker themes and emotional depth. Interestingly, this performance came during a period of heightened scrutiny for the band, as they navigated their growing fame and the pressures that accompanied it. The fusion of powerful music and thought-provoking visuals, characteristic of Tool's style, shone through at this iconic live recording.
