| Note | The taper started rolling tape early – before the venue lights went down and the rumbling ions came on. As a result you can hear the pre-pre-show music for possibly the only time on the fall-spring Aenima tour. (I'll have to check for others) It turns out to be the same Robert Fripp soundscape played before the Lateralus tour shows. Interesting to hear this outside of an arena setting: in a mid-sized venue with a much smaller crowd.
46&2 is really pretty sloppy. Some missed notes, a wavering tempo, and lack of fluidity. Just not together. And really, this could describe the entire show. It is not one of their best Aenima performances. Everyone was playing a little stiff, including Danny which proves that he is mortal - at least at this stage in his career. I say this while still very much enjoying listening to the performance. And Tool on an off-night is better than 90% of rock bands at their peak. The recording however, is very good. Aenima tour shows do not normally sound this good, and it’s fantastic to hear a recording with such detail from this era. Great clarity on Danny’s toms. Maynard announces that tonight is the debut of the Stinkfist video on MTV. I vaguely remember years ago waiting up past midnight that night to record it on my crappy dorm room TV/VCR combo. ha. |
