Tool

In July 2009, Tool was riding high after the release of their critically acclaimed album, "10,000 Days," which came out in 2006. This live concert at the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho offers fans a glimpse into their powerful performances post-album. By this time, Tool had solidified their reputation for elaborate live shows, fusing complex musicianship with stunning visuals that echo their artistic ethos. Interestingly, the band's live sound often varies, as noted in the video description, where the good visuals contrast with problematic audio—a common challenge in live recordings. This performance likely included fan favorites like "Vicarious" and "The Pot," which were staples of their setlist around this period, showcasing their unique blend of progressive rock and heavy metal. Overall, it's a testament to Tool's evolution as they continue to push boundaries while engaging their loyal fanbase.
