On April 24, 1999, The Promise Ring performed live at UJZ Korn in Hannover, Germany, during a pivotal moment in their career. At this time, the band was promoting their third studio album, "Very Emergency," which had been released earlier that same year in February. This album was significant for the band as it showcased a shift towards a slightly more polished sound while retaining their signature emotive and melodic style. Notably, "Very Emergency" included popular tracks such as "Emergency!" and "Isn't It Strange," which were essential in helping to cement their place in the emo and indie rock scenes of the late 1990s. The band's live performance at UJZ Korn likely reflected the enthusiasm that surrounded their new material, as they were gaining attention both in the U.S. and internationally during this era. The energy captured in this recording exemplifies the fervor of their burgeoning fan base at the time.
