Tool

On September 20, 2001, Tool performed at the Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland, Maine, during a significant period in their career. This live recording captures the band in the wake of their acclaimed album "Lateralus," which had been released earlier that year. With tracks that delve into complex themes and intricate musical arrangements, the album was both a commercial and critical success, solidifying Tool's place in progressive metal. "Schism," one of the standout tracks from "Lateralus," showcases their signature blend of heavy riffs and thought-provoking lyrics, making it a perfect choice for a live rendition. Interestingly, this performance was part of their extensive touring cycle and reflected the band's evolution as they pushed artistic boundaries, engaging audiences with their intense and immersive live shows.
