Rappers React To TOOL "Third Eye"!!! LIVE

[@rig-zag]

YES! This was my first Tool show ever! Lewiston Maine July 98! I remember it was about 300 degrees in that tiny arena (which, fun fact, is also where the iconic Muhammad Ali-Liston photo was taken) This was the night Tool became my favorite band of all time.

[@chrisgamble5843]

Thank God some one got the video on this one...it is my fave show! out of all the ones we have been blessed to get on yt...this is the one

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

Had I bought Ænima a week prior in 97, I could've attended the Christchurch, New Zealand gig in April of that year. And they started with Third Eye. A friend of mine went, and apparently it was amazing.

[@alexhartman6144]

Lewiston! I grew up in southern Maine and totally would've gone to this show had I not been 6 years old at the time lol

[@johnnyb6067]

I’m jealous. My earliest Tool concert was around 2002.

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

@@johnnyb6067 my earliest was 2001 then they returned to NZ nine months later, in 2002!

[@Alix777.]

Maynard was at his peak vocally speaking. His singing is so clear, musical and almost flawless.

[@erikboris5634]

I think the 4 that Maynard gave Danny at 16:59 was to tell him to play the last "prying open my third eye" part 4 times rather than 10 times like the record.

[@jesseturnip]

My thoughts exactly

[@jeffreygarret5788]

Agreed

[@tiamat29]

exactly

[@thomsevilla4956]

You're correct!

[@3allz]

Yep.

[@_D_E_N_N_I_S_]

This version is haunting . Always loved it.

[@sterling8298]

This has been and always will be my favorite tools long ever created. That being said I love all their songs.

[@alexhartman6144]

Maynard holding up 4 fingers towards the end was to indicate to Danny and everyone else that they were only going to do the "prying open my third eye" part 4 times

[@geet77777]

I want to give you an award.

[@geet77777]

Or a part in my band.

[@cwrichardson3]

What??? How do you know???

[@Necrostoner]

@@cwrichardson3 Because they did it four times.

[@janekmorawski117]

Seeing Tool live was such a experience. I think I was crying once, when they started with Fear Inoculum.

[@rubaidaallen2764]

Yes! I'm not even gonna lie, when I saw them in February a few months ago, my emotions got the better of me. Opening the show with Fear Inoculum was the greatest idea ever. It set the tone for the rest of the show. My goodness was that GORGEOUS 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@youtubebannedme4207]

@@rubaidaallen2764 best band ever live or otherwise

[@Ogt92]

This just reminds me how lucky I am to have seen every US Tool tour since the first in 1992 in Seattle. Freaks of nature and the best band ever period!

[@TOOLislove]

😳 now that's an accomplishment. Fuck.

[@Douglas_I]

The thing I love about Tool is the way the music tells this insanely complex story. A story that can be interpreted in different ways to have different meanings to each individual listener. What other band does this so consistently and with such incredible music to go along and set the tone of the story so perfectly?

[@BrickNewton]

I saw them for the first time live in 1997, in the Christchurch Town Hall Auditorium, which has the most amazing acoustics. They opened with this song and it set the night up so right. Maynard came out painted blue and UV painted eyes over him and just in boxers and as he sang "Prying open my third eye" the UV pained third eye appeared on him. It blew my mind, best Concert ever!

[@BlackNo13]

I saw this tour, right up front. I am still blissfully recovering. 🖤💚

[@zackzaharko89]

One of the best bands of all time. It is such an experience seeing them live. I am so fortunate to have seen them January 2020 before the world got stranger. This is one of my favorite Tool songs, great reaction guys!

[@Douglas_I]

It's hard to find someone that really understands music that would disagree with that statement of them being one of the best of all time. If someone does understand music and disagrees then they likely haven't heard much from them.

[@chrisbarnett6389]

Awesome live version! Maynard moves like a skinwalker

[@Dexiray]

The one speaking in the intro was Timothy Leary. I got into that whole ordeal whenever I started listening to TOOL. It's a trip... literally.

[@phildigiovanni9687]

If you actually watch him dance in quotations, you understand that he's dancing with the Beats he feels which is very hard to do

[@zaclovesschool2273]

takes a lot of vulnerability to perform like that. Sometimes even alone people wont do it because it feels embarrassing based on expectations of being a NoRmal PerSon. but its like...at least he's embracing his humanity fully and letting his body just move

[@Pigwig83]

Greatest live performance EVER. Just Brutal.

[@boboso4705]

Almost positive this is the audio from the salival album put over live footage. Goes to show just how perfect their shows are that you can sync that up, but there are parts you can tell are off.

[@ChaseVonnegut]

This is correct. Random film footage does not have this good audio.

[@chariotwiggly]

From what I understand the audio from the salival album was from this tour and someone's synced it up with the only footage on yt. You can watch it with og audio it's still pretty decent

[@ericbuchanan7104]

I agree.

[@petergare4766]

Absolutely. That's why there's the occasional black screen to help sync the 2 performances. It does sync amazingly well though. If you watch Danny's cymbal hits you can see how drilled and regimented they are as a band.

[@wesleycate508]

This song was recorded at Red Rocks in Colorado. It was dubbed over this video.

[@Ma4t2t0_]

Maynard moves like he is in a psychedelic trance

[@wizarddragon]

@9:53 'It's so hard to not close your eyes.' lol My eyes were closed when you said that. lol

[@TheBlackQueen]

If you want some REALLY early Tool, check out the full Philadelphia 1992 show! It was a small club show but they had the energy of an arena! And Maynard's voice was at it's peak!

[@TheBlackQueen]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnXcqHx4opiWeZY Here's the Philadelphia 1992 video in full!

[@TheBlackQueen]

It is incredibly rare to see a Tool performance recording this high quality! They rarely ever released official Live content (a new one from a 2001 show should be coming to DVD soon!) so a lot of the time, the live videos you'll see are fan recordings. There's a handful of Pro-Shot clips out there, the Sober clip you guys first reacted to is one of them.

[@Ogt92]

I want to know what the damn hold up is on the rest of the show they recorded in Boston where the Vic Firth drum cam video came from. It's not like they just recorded one song... An they wonder why people pull out the phone at their shows... So stingy Tool!

[@TheBlackQueen]

@@Ogt92 They record all the footage and some of it gets through on documentaries and channels that they've release to, like Headbangers Ball. We're expecting that they will all be released some time in the future, but it may take either retirement or relinquishing ownership for much of the footage to be released.

[@sintaxera]

Isn't this the album audio?

[@TheBlackQueen]

@@sintaxeraNope, this is the Salival recording

[@sintaxera]

@@TheBlackQueen yes, thats the album I'm talking about.

[@justinhcmu]

I was at lollapalooza in the 90's. This guy came out in a speedo, half his body painted black and the other half red. His eyes were white and looking through the crowd. It was an experience ive never forgot and im 45 now.

[@hank35682]

I saw a great comment one time that said Maynard’s dancing looks like a alien trying to operate a human body for the first time 😂

[@JHopkins]

I instantly recognized lewiston 98. Their best live show on YT imo. I'll be looking forward to this for the next 9 hours. Edit: Unfortunately they picked a video that has a different version of the song playing over the video from lewiston. Kinda bumbed.

[@rig-zag]

Hell yeah, it was also my first live Tool show! SO f-ing glad someone smuggled in a camcorder to capture this and upload it all those years later.

[@chrisgamble5843]

I agree

[@brandoncrow3741]

This show is great. I also love the JC Dobbs 1992 show!

[@Andrew46_2]

yeah deff the best video. I prefer Kalamazoo 98 for audio though.

[@treyscruggs5045]

Hard to beat kalamazoo for audio, straight soundboard. I believe that show is the only soundboard show from 1998. Also came here to say the video is not the same show as the audio so thank you.

[@amygill5530]

Part of the T00L ARMY!!! Best "club" there is! Love your reactions to MJK he is definitely an amazing artist, as are the members of the bands he is in. Keep spiralling out! x

[@Wired4Reality]

The magic and draw of Tool is like cavemen discovering fire. And once you share it with others - they are shocked and amazed and as excited as you.

[@PolluxFeyd10191]

That tour was so fire. Definitely the best tool performance I've seen

[@ZacharyDetton]

Salival was an EP bundled with a DVD collection of their music videos. It was released in like 2001(?). Salival was a collection of live performances and b-sides.

[@mikemorris2625]

This was a great performance by tool very psychedelic

[@Zorgak1819]

My favorite version of Third Eye. That beginning monologue and how Danny slingshots the song into hyperdrive always gives me a feeling of strength and power. Badass song and better than the studio. Y'all still need to do L.A.M.C. off the same album

[@markwillis675]

I saw this tour. Knoxville Civic center I think. I'm not from Tennessee. He wore that same outfit and the Melvin's opened. Great show. Greatest band ever! 🌀👆🇺🇲🤘

[@RandyM5]

I saw them in a club in Cincinnati called The Garage.. It was everything you imagine it was. Biggest problem back then was none of us knew the lyrics. We all made up our own lyrics, and then formed tribes of like minded interpreters. These tribes ranged from literal "Boys wearing Vans" to full blown Guru's....those were the best years to be a Tool fan.

[@Logan-tr6dm]

What year was that?

[@RandyM5]

@@Logan-tr6dm Around 93

[@itsallasimulationman]

From what I understand, this audio was sourced from the soundboard - in other words, someone who had physical access to the engineering equipment recorded the audio directly from the source during the concert. Any audience noise is actually being picked up by Maynard's mic - I think! Soundboard audio is, for obvious reasons, preferred to camcorder audio.

[@Dmoe2600]

The DVD for Salival only had all their music videos to that point.

[@ocat1979]

Tool at JC Dobbs. Come ooooon!! It’s literally a house show with 5 people watching. It’s amazingly intense Maynard up close and personal!

[@1nintool]

I saw Tool in 98 in a small place and still the best concert i have seen...

[@scooterreacts1822]

Crazy aye.... Sitting here listening to this falling asleep!.. :)

[@cryshark]

Best band of all-frickin-time! Wish we could've seen them this last tour as well as back in that day! Sooo glad y'all got to experience it! 🖤💜🖤 I did have a rare poster of Maynard in a bra & wig & makeup. Back then it was almost impossible to find any of them, for me out here in the sticks anyway.

[@AILearningSecrets]

Great song, love your reviews, it's like sitting with friends listening to amazing songs for the first time. This song brings tears at "prying open my third eye", so beautiful.

[@gerryoakes1810]

I've been a fan since the beginning but in 1996 I got to see them at the New Daisy in Memphis TN & have been brainwashed ever since. It was a small venue & we waited outside to get tickets. The concert was insane

[@MrRandypanthegoatboy]

I had to check this video as this MAY be my favorite song of theirs….and possibly EVER as well. I love your reactions though, and this was certainly NO exception!!!!

[@tidewell]

The audio is from the official Salival recording, but believe they spliced it together from a fan bootleg of the actual show. Salival was pretty much just some live and rare recordings along with some interludes (Harry Manback 2 and LAMC) that didnt make the Aenima album The DVD/VHS that came with Salival only had their official music videos at the time (Sober, Prison Sex, Stinkfist, Aenema and Hush). No live video performances.

[@joannareed7443]

I'm telling you...the JC Dobbs show, in their earliest days performing live, do it.

[@bryandeschenes6153]

On certain occasions over the last 30 years, I don't wear a Tool shirt. Every other day.....

[@kvonjaco]

The intro is Timothy Leary who was LSD's biggest advocates back in the 1960s and even had plans to run for president at one time. The song "Come Together" by The Beatles was going to be one of his campaign songs

[@jblazeby]

I personally prefer this version to the album version, even though both are great.

[@tracyhemming5635]

The concert on this tour for Tacoma was probably the best I went to a couple on the tour and Tacoma took the top show for me. They did songs with Tricky that where super dope with people hanging from the ceiling upside down pulsing to every bass beat. They played this at the show it was amazing and life changing.

[@aaroncollett2205]

You guys have heard everything from Tool now. Have you heard Stranglehold by Tool? The cover of the original Ted Nugent's Stranglehold. Its amazing. I have only heard it here on ytube on a live album created by, I think a fan, called Strangling Kalamazoo. It is a live album of one of their concerts in the 90's. The song Stranglehold starts around the 23 minute mark. The whole album is awesome and the quality is great for a live album made by an outside source. If you haven't heard it you should check it out. You will see it if you search Tool Strangling Kalamazoo.

[@aaronwolf3587]

The 4 means, I’m only going to scream, “prying open my third eye” 4 times instead of the studio version. I know I’m late to the party. But you’re welcome. Saw them on this tour for the first time. They changed my perception of what music can do to you…… forever. Not even just appreciating Tool. But it opened doors to things I never would have imagined I would like. 😎

[@hunterfitch5951]

The scream on The Grudge is a great release but I’ll take this scream that cries to the gods asking, “why hast thou forsaken me”

[@drsapc]

This show was at the memorial auditorium in Sacramento that’s seats about 3800 people

[@Burglekutt_OG]

First concert I ever went 2 was for the Aenema album. Had an epic portion of shrooms and tool made me realize the universe could use 4 people to talk to us😂

[@Kevin_Fiol]

I hope that you DO get around to listening to the actual Salival version of Pushit. It's a completely different musical and lyrical experience. They even say right up front at the beginning "...We've been looking at one of our songs, from a different angle... under a different light..." before they proceed to blow your fucking mind. Also for MJK Tuesday... do "Diary of a Love Song" by APC. It's a mashup of Ozzy's 'Diary of a Madman' and The Cure's 'Love Song'

Okay, since you guys plan to react to all things Maynard, take note of this now: In 2014, the Flaming Lips released a cover album recreating every track from the Beatles' 1967 album 'Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band'. Maynard sings vocals on 'For the Benefit of Mr. Kite'. You guys should react to the Beatles' original, and then react to the cover by TFL feat. Maynard.. just one day.. when you've run out of things to consider lol

I know it sounds crazy. But early early TOOL was like….. EP/Undertow era. Aenema was the album that put them on top of the world. Saw them on this tour. On acid. (My older bro brought me to see them when I was 12 on the undertow tour on the lollapaloza side stage in 93/94).
