Amid the Music as a Weapon II tour, headlined by Disturbed with openers Chevelle, Taproot, and Ünloco, the Chicago nu-metal ensemble—whose debut albums The Sickness and Believe earned platinum certifications and Grammy nods—wrapped their hometown run at UIC Pavilion on May 3, 2003, capturing the gig for the eponymous live CD/DVD that sold over 500,000 copies. The 18-track lineup, from the instrumental prelude "Loading the Weapon" to ferocious "Bound" and "Voices" driven by Dan Donegan's riffs, poignant "Believe" and "Numb," plus anthems "The Game" and "Prayer," peaked with "Down With the Sickness" amid frenzied moshing, epitomizing vocalist David Draiman's raw intensity. Dubbed an "epic hometown throwdown" by fans on YouTube, the performance solidified Disturbed's early-2000s festival dominance, though Chicago Tribune critics noted setlist predictability; a recent 4K remaster with Sipes audio upgrades has revived it as a nu-metal touchstone.
