A 14 year old black girl from the ghetto of Brooklyn….this album helped me understand myself so much more back then…I love this band and Tool so much. I’m in tears right now remembering how this music empowered me
These guys had no idea how truly lucky they were. 1. A beautiful song 2. Maynard in front 3. Paz on violin 4. Freese on drums 5. Danny lohner playing bass Just amazing performance all around!
@@drdoodoo1284 Yes, but billy is always there, he's the key to APC. To have an early performance with Maynard front and center, Freese who is a great drummer there, Danny who is a great musician and character, to have Paz there, a great musician playing violin, those little things that aren't very regular are special I think. All in all, a great performance.
Yes!! Exactly!!....so much natural talent..when this song and many other apc circle songs cams out At first I heard on out radio stations in ohio...I went n bought their cd's and I can't tell u how much these guys helped me through stuff in my 20's n I'm here still reminiscing....still helps me thru hard times to this day
***** you learn control before you let it go. Always. First step: control. Second step: throw it all out the window and wail. Never mix them up or go to step two first. First and foremost, Maynard had wonderful control. He uses that control to go gaga and make us melt.
+herostatus My thoughts exactly!!! Maynard is NEVER front and center and looking into the audience at ANY shows I've been to! Those people were lucky and I sure wish I was there...this is my most favorite version of this song...pure perfection all the way around!!!
Yeah really! I had tickets to see Tool then at The Ritz in Raleigh NC with my boyfriend but we couldn't go...I'm still pissed off that we didn't go!!!!! :(
The weird thing for me is how everyone doesn't appreciate songs the same way - this is so perfect. Others don't get chills while listening to music, and I feel bad for them.
I first heard this song in 6th grade when this performance aired and I was shook up! I had to do all kinds of research to finally find the band and eventually this song, in those days without smart phones📱 and having to use☎️ dial up 💻if I was lucky!🤩🤣. It still gives me chills. 😎🧠🔊🎶💯
When you put this song on repeat, you create a flawless shape that smoothly brings you back to where you started. It's like some kinda, dare I say, perfect circle.
Better than the studio recording? To me it's a toss up, I like the louder violin in this version, the louder/heavier guitar in the studio version. But both versions are great. But as far as a live performance of the song goes, I couldn't ask for any better. Both are certainly better than the god awful remix they've been playing live for years now.
That cameraman has to be a fan of this song! Notice how right on cue they kept switching between Maynard and the drummer at the perfect drumming and vocal point in the beginning of the song.
April Davalos you must not know much about tv production. these shows are taped and aired later in the evening (they have to edit things out all the time). most all musical acts will have rehearsal time. each camera is assigned a number. oh just go watch a video on behind the scenes stuff. not trying to be rude, just informative.
J Davis along with getting licenses to play the song on air. Wether standard tv production went into editing sometimes you can tell extra attention went into editing this video.
This was exactly the performance that pulled me in forever.. Was at a friend's house, tv was on, this came on, and I was HOOKED forever! 2000.... Very nostalgic.
around this time I was a teenager experimenting with shrooms and going out to the mountains to hike while listening to this song took me to a heavenly out of body place.
I like the fact that you are a black man but has good taste in music and not stuck in the attitude that this is white people's music. I listen to all music. Well almost all. Love it when I see one of my black brothers listens to tool or a perfect circle. Much love and respect
Maynard is one of those artist that sounds amazing... but even better live. I love that about him. Also just the passion he always has, its apparent he still enjoys and appreciates being able to do what he does.
Agreed he is unbelievably amazing and my appreciation for him sharing all this amazing music for so many yrs. Just hearing any tool song can take me right to exact moments and memories just like they were yesterday's. and over 20 yrs. Of just kicking ass all over this world
Ever since Sean Yseult on bass for White Zombie I've become a huge fan of women in Rock. Paz is by far my favorite. Even if she played a cowbell with a drumstick or shook a pot of beans!
LYRICS: Threw you the obvious And you flew with it on your back A name in your recollection Down among a million same Difficult not to feel a little bit Disappointed and passed over When I look right through To see you naked but oblivious And you don't see me But I threw you the obvious Just to see if there's more behind The eyes of a fallen angel Eyes of a tragedy Here I am expecting Just a little bit too much from the wounded but I see, see through it all See through, see you 'Cause I threw you the obvious to see what occurs behind the Eyes of a fallen angel Eyes of a tragedy Oh well, oh well Apparently nothing Apparently nothing at all You don't, you don't, you don't see me You don't, you don't, you don't see me You don't, you don't, you don't see me You don't, you don't, you don't see me You don't see me You don't, you don't You don't see me at all
I cant get enough watching this.. the heartbreak in his voice gets me every time.. his performance was flawless.. I can die now hearing the greatest song I ever heard. I found this recording online and it is now on my ipod on repeat.. the violin is so beautiful and I love how his voice echos.. I just found something perfect in an imperfect world. wow
This song is one of my all time faves. This isn't like other songs that you get tired of after you hear it so many times....whenever this song comes on, I drop everything, close my eyes and sing along lol.
you are 100% accurate. NO one can match him artistically or vocally in my opinion. there are no words for it really... he's that f'n man through and through.
4/3/24 and this performance still holds up. I’ve seen APC live but they didn’t play the original version, just the one you hear on Stone and Echo. These people got an intimate performance and probably didn’t realize how lucky they were.
I shit you not I've watched this video at least 5 times in a row. Takes me back. I fell deeply in love with the most beautiful women I have ever known while listening to this. We were so passionate and so young. Didn't work out but the memories remain. I'll always love this song
All bands that appear on late night TV do that. They come as they are, they don't come wearing suits and ties for the TV (as long as they wear something that will pass TV censors).
You just know that when this aired that whoever had never known of A Perfect Circle or of Maynard, they were immediately thinking, "What the hell. Who are these guys? This is epic." within 10 seconds of Maynard's first note. This particular song is so geared and designed for both the commercial market and a composer's appreciation.
I come back to this beautiful performance with my father in palliative care and not showing one ounce of remorse or contrition for the wrongs he has done to many people. Life sucks sometimes but hearing this reminds me of the beauty of life.
My father died last night..... “Here I am expecting just a little bit too much From the wounded but I see through it all and see you” Getting no closure sucks!
Imagine being in the live audience, not having a clue who A Perfect Circle is, seeing Maynard on stage in typical Maynard attire, and then hearing this absolute masterpiece being belted out. I'm so fucking jealous.
This performance is the most incredible thing musically that listened. To in my life is 36 y/O and nothing passes it do far ive watched his voice makes me wanna cry and thats last time thats happend I was a baby. This is special and its the best virsion of this song in my opinion. Maynard is something eles !
Here I am expecting just a little bit too much from the wounded but I see right through..- This resonates with the words of Jesus Christ and how he felt while here physically
Band looks amazing, sounds amazing, the stage setup, the voice echo synthesis... all came together to create a mind-blowing atmosphere. The song itself is absolutely heart breaking, and I'm sure everyone that was familiar was bawling with a strange mixture of sadness and joy that only a perfect circle can produce.

2. Maynard in front

5. Danny lohner playing bass
Just amazing performance all around!
Josh kills it. I know this is two years old but noone really gives him the props he deserves.

LOL remember ppl saying this on every rock song. vs rap
the man has perfect control over his voice.
***** you learn control before you let it go. Always. First step: control. Second step: throw it all out the window and wail. Never mix them up or go to step two first. First and foremost, Maynard had wonderful control. He uses that control to go gaga and make us melt.
ooberduh is correct, hawtchick69. Learn control and structure first, then bombard that with all of your energy.
Therefore naming a perfect circle
So well said
Yeah Leno has funny voice but not that good settle down
Anyone else obsessing/crying over this still in 2023 ? Just me ?😅
2024... still there
2024 presente
That crowd didn't appreciate what they heard that day
Maynard at the front of the stage.. and sometimes looking straight into the audience? This crowd got a very rare gift.
+herostatus My thoughts exactly!!! Maynard is NEVER front and center and looking into the audience at ANY shows I've been to! Those people were lucky and I sure wish I was there...this is my most favorite version of this song...pure perfection all the way around!!!
Yeah he has been off the spotlight for 15 years now (give or take), must have been awesome to see Tool concerts in the 90s.
Yeah really! I had tickets to see Tool then at The Ritz in Raleigh NC with my boyfriend but we couldn't go...I'm still pissed off that we didn't go!!!!! :(
i got to see tool on 9/14/01 in Ohio. Maynard talked ALOT. it was awe inspiring
@ Robby S You are lucky. I seen once in Charlotte, NC in 2013 I think and then Puscifer in Raleigh, NC this year. His voice is pure perfection!
If this song isn't played at my funeral, i will haunt everyone who knew me.
Like when someone else in 2019 has watched. 2024 LFG!!!!
Screw you, fatass!

Can we just recognize how beautiful Maynards voice is live?
Absolutely 👍👍👍
2023 and still gives me chills. I remember the exact smell in the air when this gem came on my tv. Literally.
The violin is the element that makes this song godly and gives it a beautiful/sick/tragic tone at the same time

one of the best vocals out there...
+ava adore agreed but with all the vocal effects, most people would sound angelic..
+Jimmy Stabler Don't think you know much about Maynard.
I dont think Maynard resort to vocal effects because 1)theyre not pop and 2)this was during 90s.
+roozbehbey I know more than you buddy!!!
+ava adore actually he is using vocal effects and this isn't the 90's.. 3 libras wasn't even released until 2001

Miss the times when this song was out. Had a great relationship and my parents were still alive. Life sucks. But music is beautiful.

LYRICS:
Threw you the obvious
And you flew with it on your back
A name in your recollection
Down among a million same
Difficult not to feel a little bit
Disappointed and passed over
When I look right through
To see you naked but oblivious
And you don't see me
But I threw you the obvious
Just to see if there's more behind
The eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy
Here I am expecting
Just a little bit too much from the wounded
but I see, see through it all
See through, see you
'Cause I threw you the obvious
to see what occurs behind
the Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy
Oh well, oh well
Apparently nothing
Apparently nothing at all
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
