See photos of Tool’s epic first night at Madison Square Garden

After all these years, Tool continue to put on grand, powerful shows that prove why they’re one of the biggest rock bands in the world.

The band launched the latest leg of their Fear Inoculum tour last week, including stops at Madison Square Garden in New York City for back-to-back shows. Photographer Sachyn Mital was there for the first night, where the prog-metal vets opened with the tour’s namesake and threw in a couple of other gems into their set, like playing “Flood” from their 1993 debut LP for the first time since 2011 and ending the night with “Schism.”
