Tool

On October 10, 1999, Tool delivered a powerful performance at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. At this point in their career, the band had just released their critically acclaimed album 'Ænima' in 1996, which significantly boosted their popularity and solidified their place in the alternative metal scene. Interestingly, during live shows like this one, Tool was known for their elaborate multimedia presentations, often including striking visual art and intense lighting that complemented their deep, thought-provoking lyrics. 'Prison Sex,' the song featured in this video, deals with dark themes and showcases the signature blend of heavy riffs and complex rhythms that Tool is famous for. The late '90s were a transformative period for the band, and performances like this really captured their evolution and the connection they were forging with their audience.
