Tool Kickoff 2020 Tour w/ 14 Song Set, Pay Tribute to Neil Peart

Tool resumed their Fear Inoculum Tour last night, January 10th, in San Diego, California at Viejas Arena. The tour is in support of their 2019 album release.They kicked off the tour with 14-song setlist that threw in some surprises in honor of Rush drummer/lyricist/mastermind Neil Peart who sadly passed away this week.

The setlist remained solidarity to the tour's 2019 setlists, especially the first six songs which starts off with "Fear Inoculum" followed by "Ænema." After six songs they did a partial cover of Rush's "A Passage to Bangkok" in tribute to Peart. It's noted that normally they do the song as an intro to "Cold and Ugly." Rush is a clear influence to Tool and many other bands alike.

They ended the main set with "Forty Six & 2" and then came back to encore, starting with "Chocolate Chip Trip" which featured a photo of Peart displayed on the stage's screens. Then they capped off the night with "Invincible" and "Stinkfist" before leaving the crowd to "2112" as one last symbol of respect for Peart.

Cameras aren't normally allowed during a Tool show, but they let fans whip them out during "Stinkfist" so you can watch that below:
