Chicago, at first dubbed The Chicago Transit Authority, immediately stood out due to their unique, horn-driven instrumentation and top-notch songwriting, a combination that quickly found a home on free-form FM radio in the late '60s. After 45-plus years in business, Chicago's music has never left the airwaves and the band remains on tour more often than not, playing concerts in every corner of North America. With a catalog of hits including "Saturday in the Park," "Beginnings," "If You Leave Me Now," "Baby What a Big Surprise," "You're the Inspiration," and "Hard Habit To Break," fans are always eager to snap up tickets to catch one of the most successful American rock bands in history. Four members of the group's current lineup -- vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Robert Lamm and horn section members Lee Loughnane, James Pankow and Walter Parazaider -- date back to Chicago's formation in 1967. Even today, the band isn't just about nostalgia; Chicago continues to record new singles and albums regularly.
We were excited to see Chicago. The let down was that they didn’t play many of the hits we were hoping to hear. Also, the volume of the lead singers mic 🎤 was not loud enough for the music. He was drowned out by the music. Although we did enjoy the concert, it definitely could have been much better than it was in our opinion.
Not sure how masters nearing 80 were able to blow brass for 2+ hours without using oxygen. They are gods. Lots of nostalgia, but they also rocked so hard. Two twentysomethings sitting next to me screamed every word and never sat down. Maybe they found Grandma's LPs! Highly recommend catching them when they tour with EWF this summer.
Have been to Chicago shows since the mid 70s and still love hearing the music live. For this show, Robert Lamm was out, but the band members,covered all the parts seamlessly. The horn section is rock solid as is the rhythm section. They are still tight and sound great. They did 14 songs first set then 11 more in set two. You can't say you don't get your money"s worth !
Saw Chicago in Las Vegas and it was a fantastic show. They play their hearts out. The band still sounds great. Lead singer not my favorite but we still enjoyed the trip down memory lane.
From the very start of what had to this point a three week residency at The Venetian theater the sound should have been near perfect. Our seats were 8 seats from the right of the sound booth so we were hearing what the sound engineer was hearing. The mix was terrible with the vocals buried in the music and it wasn’t like they band couldn’t sing, they were great for their age when you could hear them. About 20 minutes into the show one of the two original members stepped up to the microphone to talk a little bit but there was such feedback with squealing and noise you couldn’t hear what he was saying. I looked the stage over very well and couldn’t see any open floor monitors and noticed the whole band was using in ear monitors this meant that the feedback was coming from FOH speakers!!! The sound man was oblivious to what was happening. He actually seemed very disinterested in even being there. The Eq on the vocals sounded like they were singing with their hand over their mouth! Other times the BGV singers who where playing keyboards were much more clear and Eq setting perfect. The front members of Chicago would and should be very upset with what their show sounded like. I was very pissed that a sorry sound man ruined my experience to see and hear Chicago live for the first time!!! There was no excuse for this after this long in a residence show. A push of the button should recall his last show on a Digico board. That tells me that their last show was just as bad! The only reason I didn’t give the show a single star is because I no that Chicago would be a great show otherwise!
This is the third time seeing Chicago the first was in Honolulu and then twice at the Venetian. Each and every show has been absolutely amazing! What a class act. I really hope they continue to tour and make us all happy with their awsome music!!!!
The purchase and use of the mobile phone to enter was very agile, the show despite the years Chicago is Chicago, a lot of energy, excellent musicians, extraordinary songs, we returned to those wonderful years of the 70's and 80's
Great concert, true professionals. They still sound great live and played all their hits.
They played all their best songs. Songs that I wanted to hear. They sounded just like they did 57 years ago on record.
Chicago never disappoints. The group still captures its original sound. The band members are first rate. They're pretty much on stage the entire time and only take a twenty minute break. I enjoy seeing them at least once a year and wish I could see them more often.
Where was he? No explanation. Everyone acted like everything was normal when it wasn’t.
So pleased to see this amazing group. Forgot how talented they are- in awe of their talent.
Chicago is the best band I have ever known. I have seen them many times and it is always a great concert! Everything about it and them even the fans are wonderful
I’m a Chicago native and a fan from their beginning 57 years ago. It was a dream come true to see them perform live after all these years. The show exceeded my expectations. I loved it!
no other words than super Fantastic Just great, will go again if ever given the chance in the local area
Great concert! Music was over the top, band members were entertaining and surprisingly energetic, kept the audience captivating!
Incredible !!! Amazing remembering ,ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
This is the bands 57th Anniversary. Yes, after all this time there have been changes, but if you want to hear Live music played and sung like you remember from the albums and past concerts, then this is the show for you. The original members intertwined with the expert musicians are priceless. This is Chicago!!!
It was entertaining from the start and the band demonstrated true energy and we’re having a great time entertaining the audience - it was terrific!
Every year when Chicago comes to town, we splurge on front row seats. 57 years and they don't miss a beat. A ton of energy and always a great crowd at The Venetian in Las Vegas. We'll be back when they come to town again.
