[EPIC] Tool Live Lowell 2002 (REMASTERED)

[@trekgreenwood6743]

The Lateralus tour was undoubtedly Tool at the peak of their powers.

[@DrumdumsOfficial]

The Lateralus era concerts were nothing short of spectacular. Saw them twice during that period and it still stands as my favorite shows ever.

[@rickeyeaster1176]

Same here, saw them 01 in Orlando. They had the sand people dangling from the ceiling

[@enaidealukal9203]

Yep. Contortionists hanging from the ceiling. Insane. Most epic concert I've ever seen, and that includes several other Tool shows (and plenty of shows from other GREAT bands, like King Crimson). Just incredible.

[@burkeysreviews]

Damn I was too ducking young I’d do anything to see those :(

[@lbow09]

[@matt51180]

[@satevo462]

Adams guitar style is so unique being able to see his hands has unlocked so many riffs I didn't know how to play or were playing wrong. Like the "solo" in Stinkfist. I was playing it down the neck with open strings for years and it sounded okay until I saw he went all the way up the neck to the high octaves on the low strings and as soon as I played it that way it was a revelation.

[@christinadinham4760]

🥰🥰🥰

[@Normanisgood]

I always like to imagine Tool was experimenting with bootleg shit behind the scenes. Cause their all “don’t do what we tell you.” And then turn around and are all, “don’t bring cameras to shows.” So, in my mind, these guys were trying to keep Tool shows very mystical by making these relics to be watched and passing them around illegally cause “Fuck the man!” You know?

[@demonintheflesh88]

[@jporthodontics6928]

If u wanna hear it that way then yeah amazing

[@HugoStiglitz88]

I literally shit my pants when they played Third Eye. I was talking to a guy in the crowd when Timothy Leary came on. He said "third eye", I said "no, they played this last year and then went into something else. Never played third eye. They're teasing us", then when the heartbeat and Bill Hicks came on, I progressively lost it as it became more obvious they were really gonna play third eye. My favorite song of all time, this was the first and only time I saw them play it live.

[@Cereal421]

Hugo Stiglitz poor guy had to deal with your shat pants smell for the rest of the show

[@snorlax42069]

I envy you, I'd kill to hear third eye live. They did play Part of Me when I went down to San Diego to see them back in January. Maynard was like "how many of you are under 30? when we wrote this song most of you guys were still sperm" and I collectively lost my shit.

[@michaelmoceri6469]

Whoa... what the hell?? They started playing an early version of Wings for Marie during Maynard's speech towards the end. Very cool to see that was being written back in 2002.

[@larkstonguesinaspic4814]

It seems like Tool experiments with different ideas and riffs and jams for years before they turn into fully developed songs. Same happened with Descending, They played early versions of it as far back as 2014. Radiohead does the same, They played some songs live for years before the song actually showed up on an album.

[@onedeadsaint]

@@larkstonguesinaspic4814 i was at Monster Mash 2015 and that was when they first played part of Descending. they also came out dressed as Led Zeppelin and played No Quarter as their opener. it was a great night!

When your only chance to jam with each other is while you are performing on stage sometimes new songs are born out of interludes.

The Lateralus tour was the band in its prime

[@NameLess-ks4fi]

Not to be contrarian, but while I see Lateralus as their magnum opus, you can tell that Maynard had already peaked vocally. Aenema was probably his peak. Before years of touring with APC was added along with Tool. You can tell in “Cold & Ugly” he was losing it.

[@AhYesIndeedItsFunTime]

[@w_stew8912]

As a guitar player and Adam Jones ripper offer, I appreciate this footage more than any other concert footage. I like how you did close ups that show little nuances in the way songs are played. For example, I never noticed Adam used his neck pickup on H. until I first saw this video back in the day. Although I’ve been to 9 Tool shows and usually stood right in front of Adam, I didn’t notice these things because I was always on too many...uhm...drugs.

As soon as they started my 14 year old daughter said, “I love it, I love it, I absolutely love it”, with such great meaning behind her words.

[@satevo462]

Omg I forget that Lateralus is 21 years old. I remember what it was like when Aenima came out and we all ADORED that album. We would say this is the best song on the album for every song until some pointed out THEY'RE ALL THE BEST SONGS ON THE ALBUM!! Then waiting till 2000 for a new Tool album was utter torture. Little did we know what we were in for in the future. 13 years Tool? 13 fucking years!! I honestly didn't think I would survive to hear a new Tool album.

[@satevo462]

I was tripping balls hard when they opened with 3rd Eye back in 96/97. Needless to say I was fucked. I held on the my chair for the entire show. Still the best show I've ever seen.... But I could have been sitting in the parking lot the entire time, I can't be sure....

[@HankScorpio86]

Only 20 minutes in but I'm loving the camera angles. Whomever filmed this should be commended, they knew exactly which band member to look at and when. Most focus way too much on Maynard (although he's fun to watch) and the rest get shafted except for key parts, especially Justin.

[@MIXTAB1]

Lol, every part if Justin's playing that I know, that camera is focused perfectly, but then when a parts coming up that I struggle with and would love to see exactly how he's playing it, the camera moves away! I was like no!! It's funny, I know just about everything he plays in the grudge except for two parts, and those are the only two parts the cameras not on him..

[@HankScorpio86]

Lol, which parts? I play too :)

[@MIXTAB1]

+JScriv the beginning of the first verse "cult hits like a corner stone"... And he playes it again right after the break down... "Let this go" I have a rough idea but I can never get t to sound right... It's mostly on the A string with a couple open Low D ... But cold just be his tone to.. Never gonna make it sound perfect

[@MIXTAB1]

+MIXTA-B MARVELOUS MIC Hahah "cult".. Clutch

[@HankScorpio86]

MIXTA-B MARVELOUS MIC Yeah I don't think anyone knows exactly what he's playing there but it's something like -5--3--5--8--7--0--3--5- on the A and then -3--5- on the low D, just straight eighth notes, and he just repeats that 10 note pattern. That sounds good enough, it's hard to tell exactly what he plays but that must be close.
