Taper: Eric
Gen: 1st from Master
Notes: Real nice capture of what it is to be at a Tool show. The filmer was in the stands, a bit off center to the right but, I think, this show could pretty much be considered a center-shot. There are some rather nice close-ups of all band members but especially of Maynard & Adam. Filmed with a rather steady hand, the camera does jiggle every once in a while but that is -hardly- an issue one could find to actually be cause for concern. The audio aspect of this recording is good as well. There are some mini disc tapers who cannot get the clarity of this. Truth is, there are a few filmers of Tool, most are good & have enjoyable products, but some filmers, like tapers, you can tell that there is actually some know-how, some talent. Not everyone can tape a show just as not everyone can film a show. I think filmers take a larger risk than tapers due to the visibility of it all & the chances of getting nabbed are increased by an exponential.

Notes: Good audience recording of Tool. One of the better MD recordings from this era. The taper was relatively close to front of stack & seems to have a decent enough grasp on what to do while taping. The people around the taper are relatively quiet. All of the sound levels are quite nice and nothing is overwhelming nor under-represented. Fine job, all around. Tool seemed to be in a good playing-mood. This is probably my favorite setlists from this particular part of the tour. This is one of the last versions of Stinkfist with -only- the 'White Lines' (Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five) & not in conjunction with 'Suspicious Minds'. Very cool. All in all, worth your time. All known copies to be circulated are SHN based.
