When Tool announced their Tool Live In The Sand festival, they promised their two headlining slots on March 7 and 8 would deliver "two unique sets." That didn't quite happen and fans were pretty pissed off.
Tool's second set on March 8 consisted of eight songs, half of which they had performed the night before. This led to some people in the crowd booing the band and one even hanging a "Fuck Maynard James Keenan" sign outside their hotel room. The two sets were:
March 7
- "Stinkfist"
- "Fear Inoculum"
- "Rosetta Stoned"
- "Pneuma"
- "Jambi"
- "Schism"
- "The Grudge"
- "The Flood"
- "Invincible"
- "Vicarious" (first time since 2020)
March 8
- "Fear Inoculum"
- "Ænema"
- "Rosetta Stoned"
- "Pneuma"
- "Jambi"
- "Descending"
- "Chocolate Chip Trip"
- "Intolerance"
- "Swamp Song"
And fine – if Tool promised two unique sets then maybe they should've dug a little deeper into their catalog to bust out an additional four songs they didn't play the night before. That's fair. Doubly so considering fans felt they were ripped off by a shorter set on the second night.
But booing a band and hanging signs about it seems a little childish, especially considering this was effectively a vacation for fans with some great bands playing. A little bit of an overreaction, huh? Nobody hates Tool quite like Tool fans.
