Tool Fans Frustrated Over Repeated Songs in Both ‘Tool Live In The Sand’ Setlists

Considering the importance of the performance, some fans anticipated the band would go all out, incorporating surprises or deep cuts into their setlist across the back-to-back shows. However, that wasn’t the case.

What has drawn the most criticism from some fans, though, is the band’s choice to repeat four songs across both nights. As shown in the setlists below (via setlist.fm), “Fear Inoculum”, “Rosetta Stoned”, “Pneuma”, and “Jambi” were performed at both shows.

Friday, March 07th:

“Stinkfist”
“Fear Inoculum”
“Rosetta Stoned”
“Pneuma”
“Jambi”
“Schism”
“The Grudge”
“The Flood”
“Invincible”
“Vicarious” (first time since 2020)

Saturday, March 08th:

“Fear Inoculum”
“Ænema”
“Rosetta Stoned”
“Pneuma”
“Jambi”
“Descending”
“Chocolate Chip Trip”
“Intolerance”
“Swamp Song”

For those looking to dive deeper into the mixed reactions surrounding the setlists, the discussion is unfolding over on the band’s subreddit.
