Tool Live Performance at Schottenstein Center, Columbus, OH
In the captivating live recording from September 14, 2001, Tool performed at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio, a mere three days after the tragic events of 9/11. This concert took place during a pivotal moment in the band's career, as they were riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album "Lateralus," which had been released just months earlier. Notably, this album showcased their signature blend of intricate rhythms, thought-provoking lyrics, and atmospheric soundscapes, all of which added an intense emotional layer to the live performance. It's interesting to note how they adapted their setlist in response to the national sentiment, with a palpable sense of unity among the audience as both music and urgency intertwined. This show served as a powerful reminder of the resilience of art amid chaos.
