Notes:
One of the best performances &
AUD recordings from 1993, in my opinion. Although all of S.D.'s recordings
have proved to be absolutely great in quality, this performance/energy seems to
be at the tip of my brain whenever I think of, say, the performance/recording of
1993. Opening for Rage Against The Machine, Tool is playing for people who, for
the most part, do not really know who they are. Interesting to hear them at this
level of 'fame' or whatever you want to call it. There are at least a couple
different audio rips from the same exact source floating around, this is the
complete & only rip done by the guy that taped it. This latest transfer,
however, lacks a very interesting element which the other version had. The first
version featured a Bob Marley song playing as the intro music as Tool walked on
stage -- Paul says 'turn that shit off - hey you fucks'. All in all, one of the
most classic Tool recordings there is, at least in my humble opinion. Simple as
that. Oh, for purists, there is a slight level change as Intolerance starts
& a bit of movement during Undertow. This has got to be one of my personal
all time favorite performances & recordings. To me, there seems to be
something a little special about this recording, I cannot put my finger on it
though. Perhaps that the band performed this on my birthday has something to do
it? I'm sure the entire thing was ---just--- for me, right?
Notes: by - Ryan A:
Another powerful Undertow show
played to a sparse French audience. And another opener for Fishbone. I think
these guys are still touring and just put out another live album (2005). Not
sure if they have plans for a new studio release though. Good band. Anyway …
Danny’s snare sounds like a gunshot blasting the backbeat here. Adam’s guitar is
mixed slightly back, but everything else is balanced. And this is another hell
of a recording by Stephane. Rich, smooth and in your face. Much like a good
Guinness. Listen to Paul slapping that (b)ass on Sober. That’s the way it’s
supposed to be played, and no one will convince me that Justin plays it better.
Everyone is playing well here, especially Maynard whose vocals + reverb are
inspiring. His screams on Opiate (“to rape you”) and Bottom (“dead INSIDE!”)
can’t be missed. These finally get the crowd off their asses to cheer as they
walk off stage.
