March 22nd will see the CD/Blu-ray & vinyl release of a 50th birthday bash concert held for Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, etc. vocalist Maynard James Keenan. That effort captures a collaborative live performance that was held May 10th & 11th of 2014 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, CA in celebration of Keenan‘s then 50th birthday.
Billed as his ‘Cinquanta‘, that event saw members of A Perfect Circle, Puscifer and Failure all share the stage at the same time, playing songs from each of the band’s catalogs together. Some of the highlights of those shows included Keenan joining Failure for performances of “The Nurse Who Loved Me“, “Blank” and Solaris“.
Keenan‘s Tool bandmates Danny Carey (drums) and Justin Chancellor (bass) also took part in a cover of Tool‘s “Sober, while Carey sat in on some Puscifer cuts. Failure vocalist/guitarist Ken Andrews sat in on Puscifer‘s “The Undertaker“. A Perfect Circle‘s guitarist/vocalist, etc. Billy Howerdel also took part in some Puscifer tracks.
Physical copies of that set, which has been titled “Cinquanta: A 50th Birthday Celebration For Maynard James Keenan – Live“, are currently available for pre-order through puscifer.com, with a March 22nd release planned.
The set emerges as Keenan prepares to celebrate his 60th birthday on the road. The enigmatic musician, vintner & entrepreneur will turn to the big 6-0 on April 17th.
