According to the Reddit user responsible for posting the clip, Tool’s first night (March 7). However, the following day’s performance (March 8) did not meet fans expectation. The individual claimed that Tool promised patrons “two unique sets” but instead delivered mirroring performance.

Tool performed two sets at the Tool in the Sand festival on March 7 and 8, and played four repeat songs on the second night. Fans expressed disappointment over the concerts, which were billed as "two unique sets.

Tool Live in the Sand was held at the Hard Rock & Royalton Resorts in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Primus, Mastodon, Coheed and Cambria and a few other bands performed at the festival, and Tool headlined it on Friday and Saturday night.
