Tool

In November 2000, when Tool performed 'Sober' live in New York, they were riding high on the waves of their critically acclaimed album, 'Lateralus,' which had been released earlier that year. This album marked a significant evolution for the band, showcasing their progressive metal sound and complex song structures. Interestingly, 'Sober' dates back to their debut album, 'Undertow,' from 1993, but its live renditions around this time were captivating. The performance captured in this recording reflects the raw energy and intricate musicianship Tool is known for, with Maynard James Keenan's haunting vocals leading the charge. It's fascinating how even years after its release, 'Sober' continued to resonate with audiences, exemplifying Tool's capacity to connect emotionally with listeners through their music.
