1991.12.11 - Los Angeles, CA, USA @ The Jello Loft (Rehearsal)

Source: SBD – DAT-M > Tascam DA 20 > FINISH

Notes: This, actual, rehearsal is the only known rehearsal to exist let alone be from the DAT-M sourced from the Soundboard. I mean, that’s incredible but that is what this little devil is. Working versions (ish) of many songs with lyrics not quite solidified with an overall loose performance by the young band. IF one were a complete fanboy adjectives could include '“super cool” or “WTF?” or even “I can’t believe we are a fly on the wall”… There is an analog version of this particular performance which is the same as the DAT simply not of the same caliber of sound. Unsure of the rare factor for this recording but as of 3/2024 it is currently not listed anywhere but that also does not really mean too much now does it?

Notes 2: Green Jello took up the rest of the DAT. I do not know GJ that well however it is of the same quality as above. Subjectively, I could say that the music is abrasive and a lot of shouting about a Cow God but other than that meh. At the very end of the DAT, at the end of the recording, there is Tool performing Flood. Unsure why or how the incomplete version of Tool is at that location on the actual DAT tape or why just that one partial song is where it is. It is true that there is a snippet of Flood from the rehearsals… who knows. Some details are lost in the sands of time.

Total DAT time: 1:46:56

Time / Tool: 0 – 63 minutes
