Heavy ConstruKction

''Heavy ConstruKction'' is a live three CD set by the band King Crimson, released by Discipline Global Mobile records on November 7, 2000. The album features recordings of the European tour of May to July 2000, from DAT’s made at the front-of-house mixing desk.

King Crimson's 2000 European tour was conducted to promote the studio album '' The Construkction of Light''. The band members at the time of the tour were the “double duo” quartet of guitarists Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew, Warr guitarist Trey Gunn and drummer Pat Mastelotto. Longtime drummer Bill Bruford had left the group in 1998, and bassist Tony Levin was not included in this particular King Crimson lineup due to other musical commitments.

The third disc features improvisations from different shows, which are often spliced together to create, according to the liner notes, "a cohesive presentation out of a series of incoherent events".

*Disc 2 of the album contained video footage, playable with Windows Media Player software. A password was required to access this video footage.
