I love how Paul D'amour dances around with that bass while Adam Jones is just immovable and serious.

[@baratheda777]

I read where Adam spoke about being a "shoegazer" guitarist. I have seen some early, Opiate era videos where he kinda headbangs and it was very satisfying. I love how active Paul was

[@1digitalsmith]

according to his past in movie work he sustained a really bad knee injury needed reconstructive surgery idk if it was that bad but i have only seen him jump up once briefly from a vhs tape i have of em

[@Ocidad]

he is counting guys

[@vivianp5962]

[@MrZZsharka]

During “Pushit” the moment the crowd realised Tool was on a different level and witnessing greatness!

[@mr5oa1]

2 years before it was even released, They had no idea what just happend! lol Still my favorite Tool song!

Somethings weird when a band literally sounds better live. Just an unearthly amount of raw talent and passion.

[@danielmakris2663]

Maynard's voice in the early years was just effortless.

[@furikuri630]

I know. I'd have loved to be present for these then. That said, this particular concert has been my favorite of his so far, theres just some songs I wish he'd have done with the energy on that night in Santa Cruz. Bottom was sick as fuck

First albums of TOOL smash my brain, my percepcion of teen been completely replaced by ocean of dark noise.Lateralus its a different chapter in history of music and TOOL , Opiate ,Undertow ,Aenima are longplays everybody must To hear!I cant remember how many of my friends i infected with that music.Mostly Maynard words on Reading 94 "... How do You describe music of TOOL,cause journalists have a major problem with that??? I think our music is very suitable in Sunny Days liké also very rainy..." That's All!!!

[@royisstr]

I agree but I also love seeing The Grudge as an opener too

[@IceKoldKilla]

So dope to see Stinkfist and Pushit with Paul.

[@baratheda777]

Paul was such a active bassist and treated his bass parts like a lead guitarist while Adam puts down fantastic rhythm parts. It's one 9f the things that attracted me to TOOL. It's very special. Justin is a beast and I adore him and his playing - but Paul will always have a special place in my heart and I've thought many times about how they would sound if he hadn't have left the band. He also seemed to be a chatter box on stage, which is quite different from nowadays

[@nickpieroni8390]

This is the earliest version of Stinkfist and Pushit that I've seen. Bad ass! Definitely cool hearing with Paul playing. Whole different feel.

[@Alvertanos]

i was a senior lol i have 2 vhs tapes of Tool live i never converted and let me tell ya the 1997 Lolapallooza in NY was peak intensity for Maynard and i have seen lots of his footage and seen him live in the 90s. I only had one friend saw the Undertow live in Nebraska said the place was throbbing the 1st time i saw em live was Eenima in Kansas City that was intense as he was thru most of the 90s

Something I don't see many people notice is the added Undertow scream at 26:01. It's in others of their shows but not in the studio version. Along with "Dead Insideee" that's definitely one of my favorites. Fits so well 🤘🤘🔧🔧

I was at this show.... and it was a long time ago. I remember it being so raw and well done.. They've evolved and have gotten so good since then, but they were amazing back then too. Still one of the best Bottom and Undertow performances ever. I wish they'd do some of these "classics" again now!

Front of house seemed to have the mix pretty dialled in by the time Sober comes around. Say what you may about Paul, but he & Danny are locked TF in! The range & culmination of frequencies across Paul’s Rickenbacker & amp / DI, Adam’s gnarly LP & amp combo, and Danny’s immaculate kit is freakin’ enormous.

[@Justin-uf9lc]

I’ve come full circle with Tool. My first entry into them was a buddy of mine playing The Pot for me several years ago in his car and I thought, man this is good. I then got into classics like Sober and eventually followed the herd thinking that Lateralus (song, not album) was the best song ever created. You know, got caught up in the math, Fibonacci sequence nonsense lol. I then went backwards and really started loving their old stuff from Aenima and pieces of Opiate and Undertow. After going forward and then backwards, idk man, I feel like Undertow might be one of their best albums. I get that yes, their music matured with Aenima and especially Lateralus (incredible albums) but Undertow still has some incredible song writing plus the old school, classic Maynard anger and screams we all love.
