Chicago is legacy of songs and rock history. Different eras also provided sustainable songs over the airwaves for decades. We concern ourselves with our beloved aging bands and diminished original members but Chicago always delivers and may still be the best horn band that ever existed.
Agreed. Thanks for listening Please Subscribe if you enjoyed the review
Saw them also. I loved it.
its great stuff... thanks for listening.
I still haven't got use to their new lead singer. Cetera snd Scheff were the Chicago I grew up with and love.
I hear that. this guy did a good job but I don't think he won me over
Thanks Joe! I've been a Chicago fan since the early 70's, and don't care for their sappy 80's songs so much. I finally saw the band during their Venetian residency in 2020, just before Covid shut things down. It sounds like their setlist was basically the same now, as I saw 4 years ago. It was a fantastic show! A highlight was to hear them play Ballet for a Girl in Buchanan (the last long set of songs before the intermission). They did an intermission when I saw them and it sounds like that's a standard for them these days. I wish there were more original members, but they've been around since the late 60's... I'm sorry to hear that Robert Lamb isn't singing as much, as when I saw them. But their energy and sound is still great, and the theater is fantastic! Thanks again, G.
Awesome.. Thanks for listening 👍🤘👍
Well, like you, I grew up in L.A., but I’m much older than you, so I’ve seen EVERY combination of musicians for Chicago, starting in 1972. I am partial to the older rock style that Terry Kath and Robert Lamm pioneered, but, I was just “ok” with the 80s and 90s ballads. Although “Look Away” is an all time fav.
Today’s lineup doesn’t compare at all with the energy of the original 7 guys (sat in front row at Aladdin Theater, Las Vegas, 1977), but a close second place was the Jason Scheff/Lou Pardini/Robert Lamm lineup of the 2010s.
You are right, that current show is fun, song list good, musicians VERY talented… just still feel a bit nostalgic for Terry Kath and Peter Cetera.
James loved what he does i love that!❤
Sigue siendo el Alma ..
Knew every word. So true Joe.
Nee lead singer: saw them live with him a couple yesrs ago at Venetian. He was soo so. But hes grown into now i think!
Leonoid and friends are good on RUclips. It’s all studio stuff. Love them. Very talented. But. Live. Chicago is much better. Sorry.
Well said, thank you!
I Love chicago
Just purchased tickets for the summer tour with Earth Wind & Fire, total bummer when I pulled up some recent set lists. If your performing 25 plus songs you should be able to squeeze in more than 4 80’s Chicago songs. I feel like they do it just to spite Peter but there’s no denying they were the bigger hits.
I feel you
This current version hates 80s Chicago. And now with practically no original members, it’s just Lamm’s game to play. Sad.
@@emmanuel0099 that is sad 😔
I miss Jason Scheff a lot and Walter on Sax
They are SO MUCH MORE THAN TWO DIFFERENT BANDS. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT JUST A SAPPY BALLADS. Listen to all their ALL OF IT. You will hear a lot of R & B, Funk, blues, rock, so no they're not just the original band and then sappy just love songs.
Love Jumky Pankows enthusiasm!!
That new guitarist is great. His manneirisms are just like Keith Howlands!
He’s from Cetera’s band!
10 out 10
As of late Robert Lamm is MIA. I can’t find anything about his situation. I knows he’s 79 or 80..
Sad to hear 😔
Chicago is great 👍 …but 3 original members only left….. lead singer ok but….they have replaced the guitarist at least 3 times…. Ok show only because of their HITS keep them going.
I’ve only go if I get a free ticket they’re not worth paying for anymore too many substitute players now and they’re basically just going through the motions of playing the hits which we all love but it’s not worth my money to go see it unless it’s free
Robert Lamm was ill last week. That’s why his involvement was limited.
i figured, thanks for confirming and listening!
Sux
I’m a die hard fan of their stuff in the 70’s(especially the Terry Kath era). Not of fan of their 80’s catalog.🎧
Where you get your tickets. Need a partner I LOVE ALL MUSIC! Chicago is my all time favorite. I love I'm Vegas I'm HOOKED ON THE 80S!
I got my tickets from a bunch of different places. Either Direct Ticketmaster or AXS. But I like StubHub the best

I have no doubt the music sounds good, and they play some wonderful songs, but it is not really "Chicago". Two members of the horn section (Pankow, Loughnane) and Lamm makes this more of a "tribute" band. This IMO is more an evening of "Chicago" music than seeing the band "Chicago". Even worse is that reviewer says Lamm does not sing much during the show so there is very little of the original voices of "Chicago". In the end, if you want to sit back and listen to some Chicago music, then show is probably great for you. If you wanted to say you saw the band "Chicago" than you missed that opportunity years ago.
Leonid and friends does Chicago better than chicago
💯
There’s plenty of Leonid on You Tube, bye-bye.
They are killer
I’ve seen Chicago over 100 times. (1984-2018). I’m 56. Like you I love Live Music. This assemble is a joke. I stop going to their concerts when they got rid of Coffey (singer after Jason Scheff) in favor of this Karaoke singer Neil. When Jason left, then Tris (drummer) then Keith (guitarist), then original founder Walt (Sax), I said good riddance. Honestly, you should listen to the Russian cover band that tours singing Chicago tunes.
Chicago only good because of their hits? No kidding. Who isn’t.
Perfect!
This seems like a good Chicago cover band. Get over it folks, 2 dudes in percussion is NOT Chicago
The late great Laudir de Oliveira was the first percussionist and was added to the original 7 in 1974. It is not a recent thing.
