Notes: This recording has the honor of being the earliest known/traded recording of Tool's pre-AEnima-era as they try out different mixes of songs. Although the shows prior to this, most notably 11.08.94, had the actual live debuts of AEnima era songs, this may be as good as it gets. The fan does get a taste of what the initial debuts were like. One thing, it is rather interested to me that the only recording of this to make it's way out into the trade circle is a video. I know for a fact that this was recorded with a D3 but that has not leaked out at least as of early 2005. As it is, there are some odd/weird effects on MJK's voice on Stinkfist w/totally different lyrics, Pushit is very short & is melded with Disgustipated. Disgustipated for Christ's sake! Awesome. Although there are some issues with the sound going in/out during the first 2 songs, this actually is fixed later on. Although the video is not fantastic, there are some actual good qualities about the recording. See for yourself. Very interesting show, all around. A little tape hiss but it is not really all that bad, takes a little while to get used to though. Because of that fact, this may be best left for collectors. Decent sound/picture for a 3 gen. During an intermission, someone starts talking to the recorder & asks about his taping set-up. Amusing....the taper gets quite annoyed. What a setlist! Highly recommended.
