In June 2000, King Crimson was in a dynamic phase of their career, having released their album "The ConstruKction of Light" just prior to this live performance in Bonn, Germany. This album, launched in 2000, marked a return to their innovative style, featuring a blend of intricate musical themes and improvisation, aligning perfectly with the band's ethos.
