In August 1997, during the live performance at the Bizarre Festival in Cologne, Germany, Faith No More was promoting their fifth studio album, *Album of the Year*, which had been released just a few months earlier in June 1997. This show marked a pivotal moment as it captured the band during a transformative period, featuring tracks that showcased their eclectic sound, blending elements of rock, metal, and funk. Notably, *Album of the Year* was significant as it was the last album to feature lead singer Mike Patton and marked a return to their more experimental roots after a hiatus following their 1995 release, *King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime*. The live recording not only illustrates the band's dynamic performance style but also reflects their evolution as artists, particularly during a time when they were experimenting with their musical boundaries.
