Tool Live Concert Performance in Ottawa featuring 'Sober' and 'The Grudge'

Venue: Corel Centre Location: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Date: August 24, 2002

In 2002, when Tool performed at the Corel Centre in Ottawa, they were riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album 'Lateralus,' which had been released just a year prior. 'Lateralus' marked a significant evolution in their sound, showcasing intricate rhythms and thought-provoking lyrics that spoke to deeper themes of consciousness and personal growth. This live concert was part of their tour to promote the album and included fan favorites like 'Schism' and 'Parabola,' which perfectly encapsulate their signature blend of heavy metal and progressive rock. Interestingly, Tool is known for their elaborate live shows, combining music with stunning visual art, and this performance was no exception. The band's enigmatic frontman, Maynard James Keenan, often engages with the audience in a way that elevates the concert experience to something almost spiritual.
