Notes: MPEG-2 NTSC Screen resolution: 720x480 Bitrate : 9.55Mbps No menu but has chapters. Audience shot form close to stage at the side. Camera wobbly to begin with but does settle down. Camera moves around too quickly and zoomed in and out very quickly. Picture a bit grainy but has some nice close ups. Sound very good. Intense performance by the band. This is a good DVD but would have been a lot better if the filmier and crowd would shut up. The filmier talks to his mate for the first part of the DVD and the crowd shouts out to Maynard, which does get a bit annoying. Could have been better. Overall B length 51.07 Photobucket Photobucket

Gen VHS Source: Low Gen VHS > Goldwave > .WAV > NERO > CD ((Mastered by Galen)) MP3 Sample: Right click & save Image from DVD: Here Notes: The DVD not sourced from whatever random VHS-copy but the 1st Gen is, in a word, superior. This gig before pretty much anyone had heard of or heard much of Tool. Filmed with permission by the band, this product was made available due to 'Chest Pains' Productions. Listen to the recording, you will know what I mean. It is interesting to hear the band go from standing in the crowd just talking to people to on-stage where they tune the instruments & talk. The camera gets all of it. Throughout the show, the camera has intense close-ups of Maynard, Adam, Paul & Dan. MJK -- mostly. As he belts out the songs, the camera focuses on his face maybe about 3 feet away- you do not want to be the focus of Maynard's stare. That stare -- spooky. There is a focus on MJK before Swamp Song which clearly displays his spine tattoo. Definitely one of the most interesting live recordings out. Very good, to this day. Cue this show up to Crawl Away & prepare to look into insanity(?). The filmer, although annoying at times, really did fine a job in recording this show. The taper gets some very candid shots of Tool in a -very- small bar, very early in their career. Not sure how many people are at the gig but I doubt there was over 35. The performance of Tool is as a precursor to what they will achieve in their career & the influence they continue to exert on music today. As for this particular recording, no matter what gen of this show you have or get - perhaps you will understand why many people think of this as the penultimate or defining capture of Tool from early in their career... intensity, hauntingly beautiful harmonies, emotional release, raw...

Notes: Tool Liberated Bootleg : Playing God Philadelphia, PA - JC Dobbs Club - May 2, 1992 ************************************ DO NOT ENCODE TO MP3 OR SELL ************************************ 1. Part of Me 2.?Hush 3. Cold and Ugly 4.?Sober 5.?Sweat 6.?Crawl Away 7.?Swamp Song 8. Bottom 9.?Jerk - Off This bootleg is a gem for it's time. This was during their tour for Opiate, their first EP. There is some audience discussion from the tapers, but only in between songs. The songs feature different lyrics from the album versions, which is always cool to hear. The original source of this recording was VHS, but it sounds really good knowign that fact. There is little distortion, only when maynard is screaming his lungs out. Even then it's still very listenable. Enjoy.
