Tool, for the first time since the release of Fear Inoculum, have played the epic "7empest" live.

The song was part of the set during the band's gig in Sydney, Australia last night (February 15) and the band perform the song in its 15-minute+ entirety. Some sneaky fans who were not abiding by Tool's strict rules of filming managed to capture the moment in the videos below.

"7emptest" recently earned Tool the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance, and Danny Carey and Justin Chancellor were on hand to accept the award.
