Fans of Tool in New Zealand were fortunate to witness an incredible start to the band’s overseas tour, featuring three catalog rarities that hadn’t been performed in over 20 years.

On Saturday (Nov. 22) in Auckland, the alternative hard rock legends delivered a blistering 14-song set that included a cover of Black Sabbath’s “Hand of Doom,” a holdover from their appearance at the star-studded Back to the Beginning tribute to Ozzy Osbourne earlier this year. However, that’s not the main story here.

What Rarities Did Tool Play?

The darkly melancholic “Disposition” from 2001’s Lateralus was the initial surprise. The track arrived five songs into the set for the first time since its last performance in Long Beach, California, in November 2002. Following closely was the fan favorite “H.” from 1996’s Aenima, which also made its first appearance since that same Long Beach show. Surprisingly, those weren’t even the rarest moments of the night.

Indeed, as exciting as it was to hear “Disposition” and “H.,” nothing could top the experience of hearing “Crawl Away” from 1992’s Undertow, which hadn’t been performed by Tool in concert since 1998. You can see the full set list and videos below.

Is Tool Working on New Music?

As vocalist Maynard James Keenan and guitarist Adam Jones shared with Loudwire Nights recently, there are indeed new sounds from Tool slowly starting to take shape. “The three of us have been jamming. I don’t know if you go, oh, the writing process has started. It’s always there,” Jones explained. “Between preparing for an upcoming tour or whatever we’re doing, there are moments when someone says, oh, I got this and I got this. But I think we’re going to dive deep soon.”

This would mark the band’s first album since 2019’s Fear Inoculum.
