Tool Live at Coachella Festival Performing Intolerance and More

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

In October 1999, Tool delivered a powerful set at the Coachella Festival, a pivotal moment that reflected their rising status in the rock scene. At this time, the band had just released their acclaimed third studio album, 'Lateralus.' This album, known for its complex rhythms and philosophical themes, showcased the band's artistic evolution. Fans were treated to live renditions of tracks like 'Stinkfist' and 'Forty Six & 2,' highlighting the overwhelming energy and intricate musicianship that Tool is famous for. Interestingly, this performance came just before the world embraced the full depth of 'Lateralus,' which would soon solidify Tool’s legacy in progressive metal. It’s fascinating to think about how this live recording captured the band at a moment when they were truly coming into their own, striking a chord with audiences worldwide, both lyrically and sonically.
