About

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.

    Rock on!

    by Gablefan on 7/29/12Celeste Center - Columbus

    This was the most fun I've had at a concert for quite a while. While the audience was mostly middle-aged, there were all ages there. The Doobie Brothers went first, and sounded terrific. It took the crowd a while to get into it, but once they did, folks were dancing in the aisles. Then Chicago took the stage, and while they do sound a little different without Peter Cetera, they were good as well. The last part, with both bands playing some of their biggest hits together, was itself worth the price of admission. A great time was had by all!

    Dial Up the Wayback Machine!

    by NidanMomma on 7/29/12Celeste Center - Columbus

    The Doobies... WOW!!! They were as great as they were in 1975 at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, OH! They really brought down this house with the crowd of middle aged cronies of mine. Their harmonies were as beautiful as always and Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons, and John McFee (who was new to me, but apparently not to them and is an incredibly accomplished musician with great versatility) really displayed their musicianship with aplomb. The other guys were great, too, but I want to particularly tip my hat to the "originals". The set started with "Jesus is Just Alright with Me", which always gave me pause... Jesus is "alright" as in "ok" or "ALRIGHT!"? In either case, what a great song to start out getting the crowd caught up in a frenzy of delight. The set was a really good mix of fast and slow songs, acoustic and electric. My only regret was that the set was short to allow for Chicago to come on. I could have done without Chicago (well, to be honest we left when Chicago came on stage) and just gone with an entire Doobies concert. There were so many more great songs they could have played, but I'm sure they had to limit their set list. Never was a big Chicago fan and unfortunately that doesn't seem to have changed.

    Best Live Concert-EVER!

    by CindyWI on 7/29/12Celeste Center - Columbus

    Doobie Brothers opened and warmed up the crowd- turned out to be an Awesome Concert on its own. Chicago followed after a short intermission with a terrific playlist of their greatest hits. Their voices were amazing and their musicianship was outstanding. These guys know how to put on a live concert! The finale was fantastic- resembling a battle of the bands greatest hits. Simply put - a TOTALLY AMAZING CONCERT!

    Best concert in years

    by katt10 on 7/29/12Celeste Center - Columbus

    After the Doobies opened, Chicago had a lot to live up to! Doobies still at the top of their game, instrumentals and vocals excellent. Chicago horn section still rocks. Vocals were a little light but their songs raise emotions with many. The highlight was the finale when all 16 performers were on stage switching off between D and C tunes!

    Sound and overall performance by Doobie Brothers was excellent, However, problems on mixing the sound for Chicago-- guitars too loud and therefore muddled, couldn't hear the horns too much of the time. Overall an average show.

    Chicago okay, Doobie Brothers great.

    by ChopOMatic on 7/28/12Woodlands Pavilion - Woodlands

    Chicago without Peter Cetera means Chicago without the signature vocals for much of their material. The Doobies rocked.

    Chicago & Doobie Bros still got it!

    by newconcertjunkie on 7/27/12Woodlands Pavilion - Woodlands

    Awesome concert. Had lawn tickets & kicked back and drifted right back to the 70's. Would go see them both again in a heartbeat. The two bands gelled together awesomely.

    Chicago I/Doobie Brothers

    by trbliam on 7/25/12LAKE TAHOE OUTDOOR ARENA AT HARVEYS - Stateline

    I have been to see the Doobie Brothers at least 5 times at different venues. I have never been disappointed by any of their performances. They are truly awesome stage performers. I had never seen Chicago live and they were awesome. Both groups performed for an hour+. But when both groups came out at the end of the concert and performed 3 or 4 songs from each group together, I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!!!!!!! Great way to start celebrating my 60th birthday.

    Quite a Chicago night in Houston

    by Bgolfbud on 7/25/12Woodlands Pavilion - Woodlands

    A really perfect night at the Cynthia Woods Pavilion as the weather was comfortable, music was incredible by both Doobie Brothers and obviously Chicago and great crowd that was appreciative of the talent that these musicians put on display.
