A Perfect Circle released three of their four studio albums in the early 2000s: they followed their debut with Thirteenth Step in 2003; and an album of radically re-worked cover songs, Emotive, in 2004. Shortly thereafter the band went on hiatus; Keenan returned to Tool and started up solo work under the name Puscifer, while Howerdel released a solo album, Keep Telling Myself It's Alright, under the moniker Ashes Divide. Band activity was sporadic in the following years; they reformed in 2010, and played live shows on and off between 2010 and 2013, but fell into inactivity after the release of their greatest hits album, Three Sixty, and a live box set. The reformed again in 2017 to record Eat the Elephant, then spent 2018 touring before falling into inactivity again until 2024, when they came back together for a brief tour with Primus and Puscifer (allegedly to celebrate Maynard’s 60th birthday) and released a one-off song "Kindred".

During the group’s 2018 tour, they performed a superb show on 16th June at the Netherlands’ Pink Pop Festival in Landgraaf, part of the Limburg province. Recorded for live FM radio broadcast, APC’s set is now available in its entirety on this new CD release. Bonus tracks here come from the band’s set at the Knotfest Festival in Mexico on 28th October 2017.
