As much as I LOVE tool and LOOOOVE third eye ive never gotten why they would use it to open a show. It's such a natural final song for a set. There is a reason why it closes it Aenima. It's a punctuation mark. It's like 'there is nothing better we can play than this". I've heard them play Third Eye live once and while it was INCREDIBLE it was in the middle of the set and they closed with Stinkfist. Just a bit odd of a flow.
I remember way back in Junior High. There was this Spanish foreign exchange student that always sat next to me on the bus. I usually took my walkman to school to listen to on the long bus ride home. He asked me one day if he could listen. I handed him the headphones and started this song. I could see in his eyes that he'd never experienced anything quite like this song before.
Bill hicks makes the studio version , and what he says , some next level stuff. There is no such thing as death , life is but a dream and we’re the imagination of ourself.
"Dude, That's pathetic. This band can't decide on a tempo? and they actually called people like you dumb in 'Hooker with a pedin.'?" Is that what your friend said afterward, dumb dumb? lol
I'm the man and I'm in charge and I say it is a felony and I will follow up accordingly my friends of Tool family. All of you should remember I created tool by saying so when I was in 6th grade in the '80s. You're welcome everybody
I saw them open with this in 1996 at a bar in Detroit Michigan. I'm 45 now and still reminisce about this show. Probably the greatest band in a generation.
Sometimes I take a break from tool cuz I listen to them so much but every time I come back i get the same feeling as tho it was my first time hearing them music that makes you feel is more than just art
Reminds me a bit of Stanley Kubrick. Didn't actually make that many films over 5 decades. And you can't watch them every day. But when you come back to them you discover something new, or it can seem like it's your first time. Find deeper means or enjoy it on a surface level
Good quality headphones, Turn off the lights Close your eyes Hit play and let the ride begin No drugs needed for this Tool gets me to a state of euphoria!!
Sorry I’m late to this small party chain but… my god.. listened to all the “recommendations”… it’s not apples and oranges, it’s alien weaponry vrs Stone Age mallets. This song is the definition of unmatched. Voodoo child by jimi is certainly a contender but third eye is seriously god delaying the apocalypse music.
20 years ago... After getting off the bus from high school, i would get stoned on my short walk back home. I would put this on and lie on the floor at the perfect spot and listen to this on my dads hi-fi system from the late 80’s. This changed my perspective on damn near everything in my life. What a recording!!!
I still have the VHS version of the 'salival' boxed set. It has a little water damage to the box, but other than that its in good condition. The CD booklet, VHS tape. and Compact Disc are still in great shape. Because this box set album is no longer in print, I treasure it. Most tool fans ask me "whoah dude, what tool album is THAT one." and I just grin....
Check out ALL Tool releases, they will not disappoint. "Opiate", "Undertow", "Aenima", "Lateralus", "10,000 Days" + live releases like this one on "salival".
Dreaming of that face again It's bright and blue and shimmering Grinning wide And comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes On my back and tumbling Down that hole and back again Rising up And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye In, out, in, out, in, out A child's rhyme stuck in my head It said that life is but a dream I've spent so many years in question To find I've known this all along So good to see you I've missed you so much So glad it's over I've missed you so much Came out to watch you play Why are you running away? Came out to watch you play Why are you running? Shrouding all the ground around me Is this holy crow above me Black as holes within a memory And blue as our new second sun I stick my hand into his shadow To pull the pieces from the sand Which I attempt to reassemble To see just who I might have been I do not recognize the vessel But the eyes seem so familiar Like phosphorescent desert buttons Singing one familiar song So good to see you I've missed you so much So glad it's over I've missed you so much Came out to watch you play Why are you running away? Came out to watch you play Why are you running away? Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye So good to see you once again I thought that you were hiding And you thought that I had run away Chasing the tail of dogma I opened my eye I opened my eye I opened my eye and there we were I opened my eye I opened my eye I opened my eye and there we were So good to see you once again I thought that you were hiding from me And you thought that I had run away Chasing a trail of smoke and reason Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye Prying open my third eye
Then you should listen to the ending of this song from the 2014 DVD live version. It's on RUclips. Pink background. Extended version and it is incredible.
Third Eye will always be one of my favourite songs. It's so beautifully crafted, and the way they evolved the studio version for the live recording is stunning. One of the best songs ever written in my opinion. Saw Tool for the third time a few weeks ago, was the second time seeing them play this... It and the drum solo were the absolute highlights. Timeless masterpiece.
Imagine being 13 years old and listening to this for the first time. Glad I convinced my mom to buy me the last remaining copy of Salival on DVD section back when music stores where more common.
This song has had a profound impact on my life. As a young man, it helped shape my view of the world. I am a smarter person for hearing this song, listening to the words, and digesting them into my heart, mind, and soul. Think for yourself. Question authority. Think for yourself. Question authority. Think for yourself. Question authority.
I'm guessing its people with poor fine motor skills who tried to click the up-vote and mistakenly hit the down-vote button by accident. No way could anyone deliberately down-vote this song
So good to see you I've missed you so much So glad it's over I've missed you so much Came out to watch you play Why are you running away? Came out to watch you play Why are you running away?
Tool has been trying to recreate the magic of Third Eye ever since. It's a wonderful song, and the natural chase for the same quality of song writing has really worked out. Quality over quantity.
Don't know why it's taken me this long to listen to this version, but god damn its amazing. That 'So good to see you' part has always been beautiful to me, but he sings it with such power in this version it has blown me away. I think I'll buy a new guitar today and smoke up.
Maynard sang this to me once, in a club in Cincinnati. The Garage. Opening song...front row. EPIC song EPIC show. I can still feel that experience every time I listen to this. Never Forget
I remember hearing these guys on 106.9 WCCC driving around with my old man when I was a kid. It wasn’t until about a year or two ago that I really stared listening to them and soaking in their melodies and their lyrics. I wish I could personally thank all the guys from TOOL for helping me through some tough, lonely and confusing times in my life.
This is the absolute pinnacle of musical perfection. Content and execution epitomize excellence, elucidating elements of electrical endorphin-driven ecstasy. I am undone.
I’ve always loved the beginning. I went to a private all boys catholic high school and this version was such an influence in my whole outlook on religion in general.
This song is stuck in my head says that life is but a dream we are only but a question If I had known this all along so good to see you I’ve missed you so much
The best singular piece of music Tool has ever released. This is even better than the album version. Adam's solo at 11:57 is maybe the best single minute of music this band has ever made.
My buddy got me into Tool way back in college. This version of Third Eye is one of the most soul punching, face melting, trips of a song. Goddamn it slaps.
Imagine you are singing the song about yourself... so good to see you once again I thought that you were hiding from me you thought that I had to run away chasing the tail of Dogma. One of the most intense songs, one of the most psychedelic songs of all time and there's so much deep implications of healing that it's hard to put into words
The beginning of this song has shaped me a lot growing up. My dad played this a lot in car rides when I was very young and its stuck with me ever since. I'm thinking of this song a lot recently because I'm in government class now.
I can't even image the experience of those who were there while witnessing this performance. Damn! If only i get a chance to see them.. just for once. sigh
This song makes me feel terrified, its awesome. I never used to feel that way when I listened to Tool, but as amphetamine slowly ate away my mind, I began over-analyzing everything, and now, I am so scared I could shit myself
Tip, from someone who has broken through before. You control what you perceive as reality. You change your own perspective lenses. No one is looking for you, spying on you or trying to hurt you. Enjoy your awakened mind as it is open to change if you allow it. Hope this helps. 👌
Think for yourself Question authority Think for yourself Question authority Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself. Think for yourself. Question authority. Think for yourself Question authority Dreaming of that face again. It's bright and blue and shimmering. Grinning wide And comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes. On my back and tumbling Down that hole and back again Rising up And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye. In... Out... In... Out... In... Out... A child's rhyme stuck in my head. It said that life is but a dream. I've spent so many years in question to find I've known this all along. "So good to see you. I've missed you so much. So glad it's over. I've missed you so much Came out to watch you play. Why are you running?" Shroud-ing all the ground around me Is this holy crow above me. Black as holes within a memory And blue as our new second sun. I stick my hand into his shadow To pull the pieces from the sand. Which I attempt to reassemble To see just who I might have been. I do not recognize the vessel, But the eyes seem so familiar. Like phosphorescent desert buttons Singing one familiar song... "So good to see you. I've missed you so much. So glad it's over. I've missed you so much. Came out to watch you play. Why are you running away?" Prying open my third eye. So good to see you once again. I thought that you were hiding. And you thought that I had run away. Chasing the tail of dogma. I opened my eye and there we were. So good to see you once again I thought that you were hiding from me. And you thought that I had run away. Chasing a trail of smoke and reason. Prying open my third eye
The third eye is another name for the pineal gland, which is a part of the brain. Not much is known about it, but it's a fact that it contains DMT, also known as the strongest psychedelic in the world, that can also be found in plants and some animals. Smoking DMT will launch you into new dimensions, new experiences. To pry open our third eye could mean that we could finaly set our mind free of our bodily restrictions. This, of course, is just a theory of what the song could be about, but i like
cptZeppos good analyzing, i can relate, i know DMT is released when you sleep "for dreaming" and also when you PhySIcally pass. there IS Alot more to it than what Most of the "modern population" can, or is willing, or could understand....Observe, analyze, feel, understand and try not too Blink. Positive Information pass the subthreshold of conciousness.
The transition between the beginning section and the band going full in sounds less like the intro a song and more like something coming to life and seeing light for the first time. The most aural imagery to a third eye if there ever was one.
I saw tool for the first time in 2001 and they played this and no quarter. It was also my first concert. They played at a little college basketball stadium in Utah with half of it blocked off. There's been 2 shows in my life that will none will ever compare to, and this is the best of the 2.
they burn my wings and tell me to fly the system shackles my intellect they order me not to ask why but i turn inside out with the questions buried deep within compassion is what they reject neglect my need to be free my caged thoughts, strangle me.
Maaz Rizvi is that from somewhere or you wrote it yourself?Regardless we all must feel that way, solution begs advanced communication which is how I view their song ''Schism''
riniks112 Thats all from within....my thoughts about what ive been through and what ive experienced in my short yet fleeting life. And Im glad to know that our views overlap. When a baby is born....it needs other humans to touch it and hold it otherwise it dies. This is a scientific fact.....without being connected we are dead. "Cold silence has a tendancy to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers, between supposed brother"
imagine being a band so good that this is the song you START a show with.
yeah wtf lol
As much as I LOVE tool and LOOOOVE third eye ive never gotten why they would use it to open a show. It's such a natural final song for a set. There is a reason why it closes it Aenima.

Hell yah! That's life baby
Pretty flawless for a live recording. Actually it's better than the studio version in my opinion.
This is DEF is better
toobarific I like it a lot,but I still find the studio version better.
They did like Maynard's heroes Kiss and just made it sound live. It was done in the studio.
I like the beginning part better than the studio version but the "Prying Open my third eye" is lit on the studio
Bill hicks makes the studio version , and what he says , some next level stuff. There is no such thing as death , life is but a dream and we’re the imagination of ourself.
“Like the song?”
“Dude, I’m feeling so many different emotions. I don’t know weather to headbang, or reflect on life.”
“That’s Tool. You’re welcome.”

On my back and tumbling
Down that hole and back again
Rising up
And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye
In, out, in, out, in, out

It said that life is but a dream

So glad it's over
I've missed you so much
Came out to watch you play
Why are you running away?
Came out to watch you play
Why are you running?
Shrouding all the ground around me
Is this holy crow above me
Black as holes within a memory
And blue as our new second sun
I stick my hand into his shadow
To pull the pieces from the sand
Which I attempt to reassemble
To see just who I might have been
I do not recognize the vessel
But the eyes seem so familiar
Like phosphorescent desert buttons
Singing one familiar song
So good to see you
I've missed you so much
So glad it's over

It's hard to explain it to people that don't feel it .... frustrating at times when someone wants you to listen to something that they think is good
Third Eye will always be one of my favourite songs. It's so beautifully crafted, and the way they evolved the studio version for the live recording is stunning.

It said that life is but a dream.
I've spent so many years in question
to find I've known this all along.
Iam so glad to see you- from Styria, Austria, Europe; One Love.
so good to see you, friend from Austria
This song is stuck in my head says that life is but a dream we are only but a question If I had known this all along so good to see you I’ve missed you so much
The best first song to a concert ever
Instant Catharsis.
The best singular piece of music Tool has ever released. This is even better than the album version. Adam's solo at 11:57 is maybe the best single minute of music this band has ever made.
agree maybe
My buddy got me into Tool way back in college. This version of Third Eye is one of the most soul punching, face melting, trips of a song. Goddamn it slaps.
I am transported into another dimension through this performance. Masters of their art form, this, a testament to that.
I saw Tool live in 2017 while peaking on a shroom trip and my brain hasn’t been the same since
FortySix& TooSober I saw them in 2017 in Chicago, was the single most beautiful concerts I’ve ever been to. The laser show was stunning
@@LtDan-rk4si They did perform live in 2017, though. I saw them and they actually played Third Eye in NYC that year.
12:14 truly.... the GREATEST live guitar solo ever... gives me chills every time, regardless of how many decades.
Imagine you are singing the song about yourself... so good to see you once again I thought that you were hiding from me you thought that I had to run away chasing the tail of Dogma. One of the most intense songs, one of the most psychedelic songs of all time and there's so much deep implications of healing that it's hard to put into words
The ad 3/4 of the way really killed my vibe
maynards lyrics are some of the most poetic, deep, and incredible ever written. so underrated
Why is it every time I listen to this song, it's like listening for the first time.
What kind of non-musician thought it was okay to put ads in the middle of a Tool song?
The beginning of this song has shaped me a lot growing up. My dad played this a lot in car rides when I was very young and its stuck with me ever since. I'm thinking of this song a lot recently because I'm in government class now.
An 11 minute song that leaves you gasping, begging for more. So rare to find.
I can't even image the experience of those who were there while witnessing this performance. Damn! If only i get a chance to see them.. just for once. sigh
I love the album art because i can diagnose my rotator cuff tear while rocking out
This is awesome. All levels. Drums guitars timing vocals. I sit in my living room 5/13/20 in awe.
I questioned authority and thought for myself and now I've lost my job, so thanks Maynard
You worked for the wrong boss...
Now go and create your own! ;)
Definitely the BEST version of Third Eye... Also recommend trying it with the LSD turned on. Or whatever your pleasure.
This song makes me feel terrified, its awesome. I never used to feel that way when I listened to Tool, but as amphetamine slowly ate away my mind, I began over-analyzing everything, and now, I am so scared I could shit myself
well.. that explains it.
Tip, from someone who has broken through before. You control what you perceive as reality. You change your own perspective lenses. No one is looking for you, spying on you or trying to hurt you. Enjoy your awakened mind as it is open to change if you allow it. Hope this helps. 👌
Dont be scared thats an order
just relax and let your bowels go dude, it's what they want. Surrender to the Universe.
Goddamn... shit the bed
Think for yourself
Question authority
Think for yourself
Question authority
Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening,
terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in
this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the
religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by
giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their
view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and
learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness;
chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself.
Think for yourself.
Question authority.
Think for yourself
Question authority
Dreaming of that face again.
It's bright and blue and shimmering.
Grinning wide
And comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes.
On my back and tumbling
Down that hole and back again
Rising up
And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye.
In... Out... In... Out... In... Out...
A child's rhyme stuck in my head.
It said that life is but a dream.
I've spent so many years in question
to find I've known this all along.
"So good to see you.
I've missed you so much.
So glad it's over.
I've missed you so much
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running?"
Shroud-ing all the ground around me
Is this holy crow above me.
Black as holes within a memory
And blue as our new second sun.
I stick my hand into his shadow
To pull the pieces from the sand.
Which I attempt to reassemble
To see just who I might have been.
I do not recognize the vessel,
But the eyes seem so familiar.
Like phosphorescent desert buttons
Singing one familiar song...
"So good to see you.
I've missed you so much.
So glad it's over.
I've missed you so much.
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?"
Prying open my third eye.
So good to see you once again.
I thought that you were hiding.
And you thought that I had run away.
Chasing the tail of dogma.
I opened my eye and there we were.
So good to see you once again
I thought that you were hiding from me.
And you thought that I had run away.
Chasing a trail of smoke and reason.
Prying open my third eye
Think fo yourself. Be an anarchist!
Thanks mate
Be yourself!!!
@@Minder666 this didnt age well
@@SoloModz99 - aged fantastically. Still an anarchist.
All of their songs are like therapy in a way. It's kinda cool, cheaper too.
Easily, without a doubt, my favorite Tool release ever. Wish it was more widely available
so good to see you… i’ve missed you so much;
The third eye is another name for the pineal gland, which is a part of the brain. Not much is known about it, but it's a fact that it contains DMT, also known as the strongest psychedelic in the world, that can also be found in plants and some animals. Smoking DMT will launch you into new dimensions, new experiences. To pry open our third eye could mean that we could finaly set our mind free of our bodily restrictions. This, of course, is just a theory of what the song could be about, but i like
cptZeppos good analyzing, i can relate, i know DMT is released when you sleep "for dreaming" and also when you PhySIcally pass. there IS Alot more to it than what Most of the "modern population" can, or is willing, or could understand....Observe, analyze, feel, understand and try not too Blink. Positive Information pass the subthreshold of conciousness.
DMT is the weirdest, hardest-to-explain drug experience I’ve ever had.
yea, if you smoke it, its kinda 15 minutes of WTF!!!!!!. If you eat it, its 2 hours of sheer tripville.
I’m so glad that it’s over and I’ve missed you so much
The transition between the beginning section and the band going full in sounds less like the intro a song and more like something coming to life and seeing light for the first time. The most aural imagery to a third eye if there ever was one.
This album has been paramount in my life ❤
Favorite tool song, favorite version of the song. Thanks.
I saw tool for the first time in 2001 and they played this and no quarter. It was also my first concert. They played at a little college basketball stadium in Utah with half of it blocked off. There's been 2 shows in my life that will none will ever compare to, and this is the best of the 2.
It should be a goddamn crime to put an ad on this - or any Tool song for that matter.
ok but lets not ignore the pedalboard and bassline work from justin specially at the intro, outro and 6:35 , that sound is insane.
This absolutely has no right to be as beautiful as it is
Beautiful and the crowd at the end gives me goose bumps thank you everybody
2:31 when the acid kicks in and you realize you're in for quite the trip...
i still have this dvd box set. One of very few to hear its gems
they burn my wings and tell me to fly
the system shackles my intellect
they order me not to ask why
but i turn inside out with the questions buried deep within
compassion is what they reject
neglect my need to be free
my caged thoughts, strangle me.
Maaz Rizvi is that from somewhere or you wrote it yourself?Regardless we all must feel that way, solution begs advanced communication which is how I view their song ''Schism''
riniks112 Thats all from within....my thoughts about what ive been through and what ive experienced in my short yet fleeting life. And Im glad to know that our views overlap. When a baby is born....it needs other humans to touch it and hold it otherwise it dies. This is a scientific fact.....without being connected we are dead. "Cold silence has a tendancy to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers, between supposed brother"
So good to see you .
"Life is but a dream"
This whole album.. of covers and live recordings is one of the best albums ever made. Think about it.
This is Tool's best work.
