At the weekend, the tool took place in the Sand Festival in the Dominican Republic. It is the first live event that the hard rock giants have tailored-with the accompaniment of Primus, Coheed and Cambria, Mastodon and others.
It started in Punta Cana on Friday (April 7th) with one of two placed gigs from tool. The musicians around singer Maynard James Keenan already announced that it would be two special setlists.
The first gig also seemed to fulfill the wishes of the visitors. There was a 10-song set with songs from all five studio albums in the band, which is also happy to take a decade for new records. Fan favorites such as “Schism” and “Vicarious” were played.
Saturday (March 8th) brought the big disappointment: Unlike many, tool played four songs from the evening before – “Fear Inoculum”, “Jambi”, “Pneuma” and “Rosetta Stoned”.
Did tool promise too much?
Video recordings that found their way to the net testify, testify, How numerous followers call according to the boo and “fuck you” after you realize that they are not two “special setlists”. The fans were also upset about the relatively short set (only nine pieces, 30 minutes less than on Friday).
According to their own information, many had only booked the festival on Reddit to see tool with two completely different sets. As “Consquence” reports, the two appearances differed in terms of stylistically.
The announcement that there would be two “special setlists” seemed to have aroused false expectations. Some tool supporters may have thought of Metallica, who actually played word on their world tour and did not repeat a song at two consecutive concerts at one location.
Tool are still traveling in South America after the festival. Last summer, the band was also seen for three concerts in Germany. Singer Maynard James Keenan also plays on the “Sessanta V2.0” tour with his bands a Perfect Circle and Puscifer as well as with Primus.
