TOOL band Bootlegs

Think for yourself
Question authority

Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening,
terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in
this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the
religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by
giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their
view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and
learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness;
chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself.

Think for yourself.
Question authority.

I'll post a bunch of awesome Live Tool concerts

tooL: 1999 October 10th - Indio, California, USA(Source A) [flac]

10.10.99

Source A: DAT -- Core Sound Binaurals/120 > Sony PCM-M1/44.1 kHz
DAT: Master DAT > Digital Clone-1
CD: Master > CD
Taper: CatalystX
MP3 Sample: Right click & save

Notes - Recording:
The audio is simply sharp, crisp and is the best (minus a few trivial flaws) recordings of Coachella and/or other shows, years & sources. This was filmed, front of the sound board. For the equipment used, somehow, CatalystX turned this recording into one of the sweetest recordings with one of the sweetest setlists ever. Not really going to go on, no need to give the taper a huge head is there? However, some people have mentioned this is one of the finest recordings of Tool available. I would like to briefly mention that there are many CDs of this show, of this source, that are still casualties of the Napster revolution and are thus MP3 sourced and/or with track transitions. This version from the taper does not have any issues.
Notes - Show:
Interesting, just before the band busts open Intolerance, Maynard chants 19-90-90-9, 19-90-90-9 over and over. The video of this is very choppy -most of the time- but has it's moments. There are many different versions of this particular source floating around; most from MP3. Many sources have inconsistent track transitions.  Looking at that setlist, at the end of 2002, I think: "What a great show that must have been." But, I have a feeling I'll be saying that about shows I was at a few years from now. Hindsight has a way of making things a little bit more clearer, perhaps. Yeah? As for this show, it should be noted that A Perfect Circle played the day before. Then, Tool played the day after. At the time, it must've been at least interesting but now, retrospectively, it seems almost surreal in a way. Or not.
Notes - DAT:
Although this is also on DAT, I will not re-rip this to CD for obvious reasons,

Maynardism:
"Are you happy? On three, can I get a big fat yes? One, two, three. How about in French, which 'oui', in case  you didn't know that. One, two, three. And in Spanish, 'si'. One, two, three" (in case you didn't realize, what MJK has the crowd yell: "yes we see")

10.24.02

Source A: Hi8 --- Sony CCD-TRV940 w/Sound Professional mics
 Source A:   Master > DVD
Taper:      Rawson     


  Notes:    No, this audio source has not been floating around in the trade circles because it does not exist because some dumb-*bleep* made up the source info! This source information has been floating around as AT>MT831 but is in reality just a DVD>CD rip of the video source. There are a few different rips of this out there so track times/disc times may vary. Watch out, a lot of people think that the above source info is a source - no. I would only believe the above source info if I got it from the taper, I suggest the same thinking for others as well - at least for this "source"! This is a direct result of SHN generated trading as people DL it, do not verify or know source info & then incorrect information gets reported. Grrr. I do suppose that it says something about how good the DVD is, eh? This has some of the best audio I've yet heard on a Tool recording sourced from a video. Really nice. The video is quite clear, is focused and gets some good shots of the entire band. A nice professional taping job. This must have been transferred to DVD by the taper as the video is without even one 'snowflake'.  I saw Tool the night before in Toledo, damn they were real, real good this time around. Really nice performance...the best setlist of the tour, in my opinion. Strong performance & good filming =  a nice product. Also, there seems to be a few different audio rips of this show, all are basically the same.


  Maynardism:   "Good evening. Nice to meet you."
