Notes: A little talking at the beginning by the taper & his buddy but then that ceases. Sound is pretty much at one level but at least it is a decent sounding one. Filmed from the upper-left of the venue, the camera has a few decent close-ups of not just MJK dressed as the woman but also of the entire stage. Interesting stuff. Audio is blasted and is comparable in quality to other Lolla '97 Tool-recordings. Sound kind of fluctuates during HWAP as well. Before I mastered this to CD, many versions I received in trades was either incomplete and/or MP3 sourced. This is the full show though. There are other recordings of this show that are incomplete. Many are from MP3, some on cassette. Slight tape hiss & bass brick walls. Best left for collector's as for the general consumption, the audio doesn't really cut it & even the selected VHS>DVD copies I have seen of this show are from at least a 3G or above > DVD transfer. Have faith that a very low gen will come out someday. Then again, it is worth a listen in my opinion. The performance itself is well worth checking out. For the rest, this would most likely be appreciated by collector's who watch their shows. What an interesting setlist-order...

Maynardism: Ok. So enough of that. This un-rehearsed song goes out to Tim & Tom."
