Photos: Tool and Steel Beans at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA on November 16, 2023

This past Thursday, the phine pholks of Philadelphia got a concert experience to remember at the Wells Fargo Center, as Tool rolled into town. Joined by the one-man act Steel Beans, the crowd was subjected to one hell of a weird and oftentimes trippy affair.

Like a heavy metal J. Jonah Jameson, Hesher came out of the woodwork demanding that someone, anyone get him some photos of that damned Spider-M…. I mean Maynard James Keenan. Thankfully, we were able to get photographer Jess Ripper out to the scene, where she managed to get some damn good shots from the night’s proceedings.

We’d like to extend a huge thanks to Tool and Steel Beans for being such great photo subjects. And thanks again to Jess Ripper for taking the shots. Feel free to follow her on Instagram at @jess1ripper.
