Tool

In October 1999, Tool was riding high after the release of their critically acclaimed album 'Ænima,' which had hit the shelves just two years prior. The band was known for its distinctive blend of progressive rock and heavy metal, captivating audiences with thought-provoking lyrics and immersive live performances. The recording of 'Forty Six & 2' taken from a show at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA, showcases their evolving sound and their knack for dynamic live energy. It’s interesting to note that 'Forty Six & 2' delves into themes of personal transformation and Jungian psychology, reflecting lead singer Maynard James Keenan's fascination with self-discovery. This period was pivotal for Tool, as they began to cement their reputation as one of the most innovative bands in the rock genre.
