Tool

On September 6, 2001, Tool delivered a powerhouse performance at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, MN, right around the time they were riding high on the success of their album "Lateralus," which was released earlier that year. This live show offered fans a glimpse into the band's evolving musical complexity as they showcased tracks like "The Grudge" and others from their repertoire. Interestingly, this era was marked not just by musical innovation, but also by a deeper exploration of philosophical and spiritual themes, reflecting the band's trademark style. Following this concert, Tool would go on to release their album "10,000 Days" in 2006, further solidifying their place in the progressive metal scene. Their mix of heavy riffs and intricate rhythms set a standard during this period, making this live recording a special moment caught in time.
