Disturbed LIVE Kansas City 02-02-2024 FULL VIDEO

The tour (Take Back Your Life) found its context in the Disturbed set. An opening video concluded with a suicide prevention hotline, and as a prelude to “A Reason to Fight,” Draiman would admit that he almost gave in to suicide earlier this year. It was obviously a practiced moment at this point in the tour, but Draiman drove the point home well by asking the crowd to raise their hands if they or others they knew suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts. More hands were raised than not. Later still, he invited Gerald, a veteran and VIP audience member who shared his story with Draiman backstage prior to the show, to repeat experience. His story of finding hope and assistance, which included the timely hearing of two of the band’s songs, was as moving as you’ll find.

The highlight for many was their cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s “Sounds of Silence.” Inviting a violinist, cellist, and pianist to the stage, the acoustic presentation did nothing to diminish the band’s skill – and Draiman’s singing, of this song.

At the end of the set, Draiman did a pretty solid job of selling the audience that concert was done, thanking them and leaving the stage. It left people wondering, but, of course, the house lights remained off and the crowd chanted for more. The band came back for a three song encore including “Down with the Sickness,” and that pretty well wrapped a very satisfying evening of metal music. If one was to argue about ticket prices, this is one tour that is packed with entertainment for the price.
