. Some were performed with working lyrics such as "Undertow" and "Bottom".
Tool toured extensively 1993. The band found themselves on many Europe
an festival
s as well as the U.S. Lollapalooza
festival. They were drawing such a crowd playing the second stage at Lollapalooza, that they were moved up to the main stage, midway through the tour. The band debuted the songs "Intolerance", "Prison Sex
" and "Flood" on January 26, 1993. The set list would vary from night to night, depending on the time slot Tool was allotted, but "Sober" and "Prison Sex" were always played.
Tool Toured Europe and the U.S. again in 1994. The band debuted their cover of Led Zeppelin
's "No Quarter
" as well as the songs "Disgustipated", "Pushit" and "Stinkfist
". "No Quarter" often transitioned into "Disgustipated", and "Opiate" would be played back-to-back with "Flood", transitioning smoothly between songs and skipping the lengthy intro to "Flood". During this time, Tool's stage show began to grow and better reflect the band. During a show in London at Shepards Bush, the band had a man dressed as Jesus
join them on stage. At the same show, future Tool member (then member of opening band Peach
) Justin Chancellor
joined the band for the song "Sober". Around the same time, tensions began between Keenan
and D'Amour
. As in previous years, the set list would change from night-to-night for most of 1994.
Tool only played a small number of shows during 1995, but it was a very important year for the band. Debuting the songs "Eulogy", "H" and "Ænema
", all in early forms with working lyrics. Tensions were very high between Keenan and D'Amour during this time, and April 14, 1995 would be D'Amour's last live show with the band.
In 1996, Tool began their extensive touring for Ænima
in Pomona, California
where they debuted "Forty-Six & 2", "Hooker with a Penis", "Jimmy" and "Third Eye". This was also Chancellor's first show with the band. "Die Eier von Satan" was played once on December 19, 1996. They also played South Park
's 'Spirit of Christmas' animated Christmas card during the show. During this year, Tool started extending "Prison Sex" by adding an extra verse—known by fans as "Prison Sex OTRM" ("on the road mix" or "over the rainbow mix")—and the intro to "Sober", which later appeared on Salival
as the track "Merkaba". Tool's stage show grew with the addition of two giant projection screens. Keenan would paint himself blue and white for his performances, and Chancellor would also sometimes be painted with spots. Although the band was changing the set list up quite a bit at the beginning of the tour, they fell into a 'comfortable' set list during November which was played for the rest of the year with one or two wild card songs. A typical 1996 set list would look like this:
