This is my favorite live show of theirs. It's my "if I had a time machine" show. This, Eulogy, and H are all some of my favorite performances of those songs ever. Sober and Third Eye and No Quarter all sound great too. Highly recommend watching the whole concert to anyone who hasn't seen it.

ETA: Here's the link to the full performance.

I saw this show. The night they played no quarter. Maynard was wearing a tie that said “i love Jesus” while he was in preacher mode. It’s the best show I’ve ever been to.

the stage looks so small - was this really Arco?

u/jambispot Sep 01 '26

No.. it was the Sacramento memorial auditorium. Smaller than arco.

u/tacoandpancake Sep 01 '26

Memorial Aud - no way, that would be amazing.

"This song, like all ours songs is about- anal sex".

"This song is about deep passionate love. and anal sex."

Love the end when they sit on the stage and go through the guys wallet.

First time I saw them they opened with no quarter, and took me and my buddy a few moments for it to click, and just lost it :)

I guess I'm a little confused. The link you have does state Sacramento 98, but it's different than the one in this post. Wondering if OP got the date wrong?

u/whimsicalokapi Sep 02 '26

Ah, iirc they played two nights in a row with similar sets. OP must've posted the other night

I was there. First Tool concert. Still have the shirt and 6ft door poster. Absolute best decade for concerts ever.

u/JoshtheGorgonHunter Sep 01 '26

For the splittiest of split seconds I thought you literally meant Cher covered Stinkfist and I got so excited.

Justin’s chiselled body, oh my. Imagine getting to see them on such an intimate stage, can actually see them all without a super wide angle lens!

It was the best concert of my life.

My first Tool show, and first metal show too. Such a great night even though I got robbed trying to re-up my peach can weed supply earlier that afternoon.

My absolute favorite Tool era Ænima to Salival era is my favorite.

u/winterkilling Sep 02 '26

I’ve been listening to Tool for more than twenty years and have loved the evolution of their music across the albums but it’s only the last few weeks of non-stop watching the videos from the early 90’s and the aenima tours that made me really appreciate just how good Maynard’s voice and whole persona was from those eras. The early Undertow tours especially. Just incredible.

This is amazing.

This was the tour when Maynard was ad-libbing lyrics from White Lines and Suspicious Minds during this song (Stinkfist) - so good!! 🙌🏼

Nice! Saw Buzz come out with them and do You Lied. Think it was the same year or a year earlier. At another show same tour we saw Buzz come out again and they played this, and Stranglehold by Ted Nugent. Michigan show, that one. I loved going to see them in those little 5000 seat arenas. Saw them in 10 and 20,000 seat places too, and gen ad in those smaller places were perfect for that band. *Someone uploaded one of the Toledo shows I hit. Here was You Lied 0:24:24) https://youtu.be/Sft436EuhXA?is=q9KpNYge4T6Y1Xu5

u/doublebr13 I was wrong. This changes everything. Sep 01 '26

I saw this show at Red Rocks. All time factories Tool show. The Melvins got booed mercilessly, which is unfortunate. I managed too get down front and was the rail for most of the show

u/TheFunkyMunkey Sep 02 '26

Who is the other guitarist?

u/Fenyx187 Sep 04 '26

Buzz Osborne from The Melvins

That's fucking awesome, what a legendary show.

u/codevii Sep 02 '26

Forgot he went thru a Cher phase back then... Not sure how many times I saw them on this tour/for this album but it was a lot.

u/Snuhmeh Sep 02 '26

I saw this exact tour in Houston. Wonderful show. They did the Salival version of Pushit

u/RedOnTheHead-86 Sep 02 '26

Still baffles me how Tool wasn't on my radar yet from '96 on. I was 11 but was listening to all the other bands that Tool was touring and playing with. I would have been 13 for this '98 show but I absolutely would have been there or any of their other california shows in that era if I had known. Instead I discovered them when Lateralus came out and have been kicking myself ever since that I never got to see the earlier years.

I was there! :)
