2001.06.24 - Schessel, Germany @ Hurricane Festival

Source: Mini Disc --- Sony ECM-717 > Aiwa AM-F80

Notes: The performance itself is very intense. It just is. They do the pre-Grudge jam which is Adam riffing, Dan drumming & Justin sort of scaling. Interesting. Then, MJK's vocals come over the speaker as the band is quiet. During the quietness, you can hear another band performing on a different stage. The Grudge hits the air and is as clear as anything else hits your ear. Probably one of the better recordings of 2001, period, this captures a side of Tool not seen nor heard in the United States. Not much more to say, this is one to be heard, not really discussed. I find it hard to believe that this recording was taped with Sony mics as, in many cases, the sound just lacks depth. There has been debate over the precise source information, for the record.

Maynardism: "Good afternoon, we are Tool." (with voice effect /reverb)
