Yeah, we were talking about that pre the show. Although that video is excellent at showing Carey's ability, it captures absolutely nothing of the essence of the live performance.
Which is exactly the reason why I suspect Tool ban cameras / recording of their concerts and have active security walking around warning people and potentially evicting (I didn't see any of that tho)

Nile Rodgers met bassist Bernard Edwards in 1970 while working as a touring musician for the Sesame Street stage show.

From the Al Kooper debut (the only version of BST that truly matters imo) this is one of the best psyche blues songs of the ‘67/‘68 period, still sounds epic.

Just listening to the setlist again just now. Currently on 7empest I remember at the time thinking a Danny Carey video for this would be epic. The drumming from about 4 mins to 5:10 is incredible.
Didn't know the song name at the time & that it was 15 mins long tho!

I’m not the absolute biggest Tool fan but Carey is a fucken wicked drummer. He just nails some really weird time signatures so easily.
I appreciate him in the same way as I appreciate Jeff Beck as a Guitarist. I don’t go out of my way to listen but I applaud the freakish talent.

before i start, shush @Tim
Thanks to @MajorRage and his Tool concert post, i have been back listening to these motherfuckers hard out. Fuck this band absolutely rules. It's certainly not a unique or interesting thing to say as a white guy in his mid-40s, but Tool are my favourite band of all time
Aenima is a fucking masterpiece, packed with amazing tracks. And it occured to me listening yesterday, this track is the blueprint of their later work. Long, intricate, melodic. The drumming all through, but especially at the back end, is fucking insane. Carey is the master.

Title track, high energy soul funk classic about a special lady of the night.
Another title track, this record predates Byrd’s soul-funk period (above), it’s something of a transition album, but the propulsion and deep groove rhythm on this masterpiece is top drawer and never fails to get my ass moving. Incredible musicianship and soloing.
