Tool - " Descending" ( with extended lyrics) Live 2/15/24

[@AquariusC]

Free fall through Our midnight Floating through This madness Drfting through Sound the dread alarm Through the primal body Sound the reveille Stay the grand finale Sound the dread alarm Through the primal body ? ... to me (Sounds I hear--Chu me over to me) Stay the grand finale Sound the dread alarm (sound like he messes up and starts saying "Stay the grand finale" before correcting) Wake us from our slumber Sound the reveille Call us all to arms and order One drive, rise to stay alive.

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

Excellent job mate. I'd say those should be the official lyrics lol even with the wording we can't make out

[@aVeryStonedApe]

He says to be or not to be at the unintelligible part

[@AquariusC]

@@aVeryStonedApe Very nice! I still clearly hear an "M" in that last word but this at least makes sense. I am trying to edit my post but it is not working at the moment.

[@Toolloot83]

"To be or not to be" reminds me of the Easter "egg" analogy Maynard mentioned of Easter on his Puscifer channel, but it's interesting if you spin a pyramid rapidly; you see a cone, you spin it faster you see the egg. I'm assuming he said: "Why try not to stay alive", meaning TOOL might stay intact of making another album. But that's my assumption.

[@DoubleSixx]

Thank you

[@bryanj78]

Jeeeeeesus! I hope they make a studio track of this one.

[@theletteronyourcoat]

Don’t count on that. Best bet is if they ever release all of this Live footage they’ve been getting over the years.

[@alihijazi4451]

Or maybe a live album just like Salival! That's more likely

[@thelemite935]

Someone sort of did.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4nCk6mvpsSDg6csi=Z7aJyDZhs-Xbjlik

[@Finnegeas]

To be honest I think this is the one for the fans to do. Would love a live album or video but unsure if they’ll do this, especially considering how long it took for content from 10000 Days.

[@kevinlynch2248]

Holy shit!!! I hope they do a studio version of this Descending. Those added lyrics made an incredible song even more amazing. 🤯

[@georgem9067]

Lyrics are relevant to the world around us - as always!

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

🤔

[@bradywilson3560]

No band tugs at my heart and soul more than Tool. This version kicks ass.

[@Sky14318]

Just once. Just ONE TIME…. I need to see Tool live. Been hanging on every song since the early 90’s but I’ve never been to a show. What a fuckin crime. Absolute masters…all of them. To have FOUR individual geniuses…both technically and creatively… able to collaborate at all is a frigging miracle. No wonder Maynard says every mix is a fight to the death. They are simply unmatched. They have no equal

[@michaelmcginn3136]

You couldnt be more right. To feel the culmination of all of that is to see them live. There isnt an experience like it. You absolutely must see them!

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

I've seen them 3 times since 2020 and this is by far the best show of all three. They age like fine wine 🍷

[@Cujo8600]

Make it happen. Their show is life altering.

[@alexgrindnshine2522]

Same as you I have been a fan since the 90s and finally saw them live in 2023, and soon again in 2024, just 3 days before this show. Absolutely incredible! And very loud, lol will can’t wait to see them again in the future. Hopefully at the Sphere in Vegas!

[@bigneilosclips9607]

Do your self a favour get to one!!

[@michaelmcginn3136]

This was the best Tool show i've ever been to/heard. The guys are always on point, but Maynard was just exceptional.

[@alexgrindnshine2522]

I agree! this guy is old and still sings so damn well.

[@alihijazi4451]

Goosebumps and tears.... this is GORGEOUS.

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

Glad you enjoyed 😊

[@oldDan-l1c]

Saw them in Austin a few weeks back. There were many, many high points, but Descending was probably the most thrilling live performance of my entire life. Exquisite.

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

It's definitely a great performance.

[@Eknappster9999]

I saw them in Spokane in mid October then again in Vegas a week ago. Both times they played Descending and it's my favorite song so I was really happy. But the crowd didn't cheer like I expected them to. I think people don't quite understand the full meaning of the song.

[@Chris_Sherwood]

This song is a masterpiece.

[@dirtbagian]

Interesting. I saw them on Halloween, and I truly hate to admit that Descending was the only song of the set that I felt was lackluster. And it’s my favorite song. My fiancé even noticed the same thing and she is not into Tool.

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

@dirtbagian same here man I kinda thought that was a filler song for the set. Gives Maynard some time to relax. But after seeing them play it 3 times, it's definitely grown on me and is a killer Song to hear live

[@allexisberry7367]

They never disappoint live . 4 of the most unique musicians found each other and it was glorious.

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

It's always a treat seeing tool. You know you're getting actual musicians playing actual instruments with no backing tracks or vocal backing tracks. Everything is genuine

[@thefuturemachineband]

Was there on 2/15 crypto arena, amazing show! Loved this extended version of Descending.

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

Amazing show for sure

[@dennissuding4452]

God bless you, sir. As much as I agree with the no-cell-phone policy, this was worth the perpetration. I was at both nights in Phoenix. He sang the extended lyrics the second night in Phoenix. Some dude recorded it, but the recording was shit. Thank you! Great video and sound quality! Both epic, and dope! You are a gentleman and a scholar! 7:39

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

Thank you sir 🫡. I pride myself in being able to bring concerts to those that cannot attend or want to re live that moment. Cheers my friend

[@andygps113]

Omg this just opens up another fantastic doorway ,Holy Shit ❤🎉

[@pricc-om]

Wow. What a special night. Man how spectacular would it be if this is what they did on the album?

[@pricc-om]

I wish I was still in contact with anyone from the Eugene show this tour. I dont know if I remember them playing this version. I just blacked out pretty much...

[@todddennis1259]

❤❤ Amazing

[@jeremybunch8582]

Knoxville and Atlanta...both were mind blowing.

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

Yes I saw them one time in 2020 once in 2022 and this one was by far the best show

[@kevinlynch2248]

I was at the Charlotte show and it was incredible. Just mind blowing!! 🤯🤯🤯

[@default.h5239]

OOOMMMGGGGG

[@srbbuzgau]

amazing recording

[@Snatchystashy]

They MUST release another live album/DVD!!!! Fuuuuuuck!

[@luketoddhunter]

only incorrect thing about this statement is the 'another' part 😔

[@Snatchystashy]

@@luketoddhunter Ever heard of Salival? That was a live album.

[@mattsinner6127]

9:54

[@Thinkfourselfquestionauthority]

Literal goosebumps at 10:37…every time How has this only had 8.5k views…this makes me sad

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

It really depends, I have a judas priest video that has 100K viewed. Algorithms are whack

[@LQDPHANTOM]

Thank you for recording this gem! * small info that is not yet on TDP * They performed this in LDN 2024. Once again thank u for this.

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

I do it for you and everyone else that appreciates live videos with decent sound lol

[@jonathanrazza9299]

Absolutely love this song and loved hearing it live a couple times. Maybe I just got used to the original version because I find the extended lyrics to be distracting.

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

You know what, I agree with that. Maybe, like u said, it's because we've listened to the original alot, but I felt like that spot should definitely be quiet just for the music.

[@stephenmorelli6741]

Ok time to re-record the studio

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

I mean they did it with Opiate² lol I don't see why they wouldn't with this one

[@geralditoney1231]

Good catch😳🥹🤯😍

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it 😎

[@lauraanca2072]

The mist of Sthin...too far , tooo... i was there.

[@derekhatton7799]

Feel bad for Maynard. He could take a nap on the 2nd half

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

He uses that time to fool around lol

[@BrainWasherAttendent]

Challenging song to perform all around I reckon

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

I would assume so

[@geigere9999]

I like to think he's saying "Sound Assembly Calling all to Arms and Order" but i also thought the first time they played this song before release he spoke the lyrics as. "He did it All to walk on water" the majesty of sound 😅

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

Interesting 🤔 Heard it live in OKC just a few days before, and they did not do it.

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

I wonder why they didn't add the extra verse in there

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

@franciscosaldivar9737 IDK they also ended with Stinkfist but didn't play the Extended Stinkfist version I heard in the last 3 shows I went to. Guess they just want to mix it up. (If you haven't heard the Extended Stinkfist, check out the 2019 video from Connecticut)

[@dangusrangus]

They didn't do this in Charlotte either. I think they reward good crowds with it

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

@dangusrangus they probably got bored since these were the last 2 shows they did. And if I'm not mistaken, Maynard said thats a wrap for the US fear Inoculum tour after 5 years so maybe they're taking it off the setlist

[@Eknappster9999]

They played it in Vegas on the 18th of February. That was their last show. But they didn't do the extended version in Vegas or in Spokane on Oct. 15.

[@mjovanic]

10:36

[@Cundy344]

And that is power

[@mcannon7097]

WHERES THE EXTENDED LYRICS

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

Within the video

[@jacobcorbin4325]

Any lyric after the 6:05 mark. It’s usually all instrumental and Maynard disappears from the stage.

[@mcannon7097]

​@franciscosaldivar9737 I mean the written words so i know what hes saying

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

@@mcannon7097 ahhh gotcha sorry. I'm not sure someone should eventually post them

[@bwhotwing411]

I like it better without the vocals. It’s more meditative

[@franciscosaldivar9737]

I personally like it without the extra lyrics as well but I'm open to new renditions.

[@golfer5636]

Good to know

[@Cundy344]

I like the bit when he keeps reciting the one chorus but the part before the symbol smash interferes with Danny doing exactly that, so in a perfect world that’d be the only bit I dropped. That said, saw them in Manchester and it was chilling hearing these vocals, epic.

[@MarcusLangbart]

@@Cundy344 I think it's perfect in an operatic sense. It's a climax after all. Voice and gong emphasize each other, instead of being antagonists.
