It was released along with the other official bootlegs from the second North American leg of the tour on March 27, 2001.

Overview

The album was recorded on October 9, 2000 in Rosemont, Illinois at Allstate Arena. It was selected by the band as one of 18 "Ape/Man" shows from the tour, which, according to bassist Jeff Ament, were shows the band found "really exciting."^[2] Allmusic gave it four out of a possible five stars. Allmusic staff writer Steven Jacobetz said, "Overall, this night in the windy city was one to remember, and definitely a high-priority purchase in the 2000 bootleg series."^[1]
