King Crimson

In the summer of 2001, King Crimson was riding the wave of their dynamic comeback, having released the album "The Construkction of Light" just a few months prior, in May. This work marked a significant chapter for the band, showcasing their unwavering creativity in the progressive rock genre. Notably, "The Construkction of Light" not only featured intricate instrumentation and layered compositions but also highlighted a collaboration with the likes of Tool during their tour that year. Performing live alongside Tool in San Diego on August 8, 2001, King Crimson was fully engaged in a rejuvenated phase, blending their experimental sound with Tool's ambient aggression. This era was characterized by a unique synergy; it showcased the merging of different generations of progressive rock, illustrating how bands can inspire one another. King Crimson’s ability to remain relevant—a feat that many artists struggle with—truly made their live performances remarkable. The exchange of energy between the two bands must have been electric!
