been love w/Chicago since the first note i heard in 1969. so many concerts i lost count. this september (2021), in las vegas...IM ROCKIN IT!!

i had the pleasure of setting up a stage for them they are very nice and the music is wonderful

Worked for a concert security firm years ago and actually got to be inside the venue for this one omg it was awesome with earth wind and fire too

GREAT!! AS USUAL No matter who is up there....it's the sound!! and so in tune! It's like listening to a symphony!

I'm so proud of Neil. He is living his dream up on that stage. Him and my Dad use to sing in a band in the 70s. My Dad is in heaven now - but he's watching Neil shine bright onstage with Chicago. Go Neil!

Neil's presence in Chicago plus his beautiful voice is so much a part of the ongoing Chicago and he made me cry during the Charleston, WV concert on 12-3-2021. His singing had me crying with goosebumps!

What an incredible band and super lineup. I always felt IMHO nobody could replace the magic of Champlin & Scheff and was really upset when they both left. Glad to see every newcomer shine like a fine wine in this megagroup. Champlin and Imboden served 28 years each. Scheff did 31. And this year the master axeman Keith Howland completes his 25th year. Lou Pardini on his 11th & Walfredo Reyes drummer extraordinaire 8 years and counting. One of USA's ICONS!!!

Saw them first just before CTA album came out. Seen them 35 to 40 times . I must say I think Howland is a great fit, didn't care fore the in betweens. I much prefer Pardini to Champlin. Also thought Scheff did a great job, but Coffey was a better singer.

Saw them a couple of weeks ago. My jaw DROPPED when I heard Neil Donnell. Reminded me of the first time I heard Arnel Pineda lead singer of Journey live. Could not believe what I was hearing, with such a HUGE and soulful voice coming out of such a small man! Neil is a saving grace for Chicago much like Arnel was for Journey. MIND BLOWING!!!

Being a fan of both bands (Chicago is my #1 and Journey is my #2), I totally agree with your statement.

Chicago still sounds great. Thank you for your amazing music. Been listening to Chicago since high school. Over 40 years. Each show is a brand new experience.

Without Chicago there is no Christmas

This summer was my 45th Chicago concert. The players have changed over the decades but the music goes on. Robert, Jimmy and Lee have added some excellent musicians to help them carry on the legacy of the original seven. They never disappoint and their longevity is unrivaled. Here's to another 52 years for America's Band.

I need to see them live again. This new singer is crazy awesome.

I too have struggled with the changes through the years, but these guys are rocking hard! I would have been impressed if they WERE merely a cover band, so I REALLY celebrate that this is still the real deal! Musicians have to eat, And these guys are putting on a great concert.

Saw them last night for the first time. Amazing…

I would love to see them write and play some new music, I love Robert Lamm and Jimmy P. writing. They are still the best of Rock and I am so honored they still want to Rock. Good music has no age ! Rock on Chicago !

I just recently saw them live in Davenport Iowa at The Adler Theater excellent still at their best!

Since the early 70s, I've loved Chicago, born and raised there too, though it just isn't the same, but I do respect the guys for their talent

Now i can relive this concert when ever i want. Thanks for posting. :)

I have recently been listening to the current lineup of Chicago and enjoy this very much! I am a die hard fan of the Cetera era (including the years with Kath). As I have stated, I haven't enjoyed the lineup since 1985 until Neil joined.

Thank you ! I was there !

Wow, big loss of these band members between 2021 & 2022 was making everyone sad 😢 when Keith Howland announced his retirement after breaking his wrist, and then Lou Pardini in the beginning of the year when he was leaving, and also Brett Simons too when Eric Baines joined the band when Chicago made a statement called: ANOTHER CHICAGO CHAPTER The legacy goes on and continued friendship with former members and current members

Neil Donell sounds absolutely incredible. He should be singing Call on Me, however. Great to see the full version of Introduction restored also.

Not to be disrespectful, I simply didn't like the new singer and the drumming. I came to this video trying to learn what these new members sounded like, and I didn't like them. In all likelihood, they are not bad, and I suspect they are all quite professional.... but I believe Peter Cetera, Jeff Coffey and Jason Scheff had better suited vocal color for the material, and as for drums, Tris Imboden was super competent, and Danny Seraphine was phenomenal. Not too happy about this bunch, but unlike other people on here, I won't poop on them. Thanks to Douglas Logan for the excellent upload, and even though I didn't like the new members, I would still go see them if I get the chance. Thanks!

Doug NICE job.. Chi fan 54yrs. You did a fine little job. I saw em for 18th time 2 yrs ago here in S.A. and tho it was great it's just not Chicago anymore. But this show 2 mos ago??? They. REALLY nailed it (LOU sounded weaker than usual. . not a strong voice but Mannnnn he blends w Robert so well... (And Jason til he left several yrs ago) but it's still not real Chicago it's just been too many changes. As a longtime fan they sound awesome .. really nailed this one

Why are they taking Colour My World so fast these days?

I go to see less and less concerts these days... too many people, who pay very good money to go see a live performance, choose to stand there for 2.5 hours staring, like lifeless zombies, at an electronic screen held up over their faces instead of enjoying and getting involved with the performance and crowd. Unfortunately that is the nature of live concerts these days. Concerts used to be this --> 🤘 now this-->😩

Well, let's see. The band was originally seven members. Then, in 1974, Laudir de Oliveira was added as a percussionist so they became an octet. These days, Ramon Yslas is handling percussion. In 1978, Terry Kath, who was their original guitarist and one of their three original lead vocalists, died in a tragic gun accident. Ultimately, the band opted to have separate guitarists and baritone vocalists. Keith Howland has been their guitarist since 1995 and Lou Pardini has been handling baritone vocal duties since 2009. In 1985, original bassist and tenor lead vocalist left the band. Up until last year, they still had a combination bassist/tenor in the band. When Jeff Coffey left, they brought in bassist Brett Simons and tenor vocalist Neil Donnell. All the guys who have passed through this band were talented and added something different to the band. That said, IMHO, the raw talent in this particular lineup is the best and most versatile they've had since 1985 when Peter Cetera left.

Good cover band...whats the name of the group?

This is Chicago. There are three out of seven original members still touring with them. There'd be four if Walter Parazaider hadn't retired because of health issues. I think having over 40% of the original lineup in their 53rd year of existence is pretty darn good. How many people do you know who've kept the same job for over 52 years?

El éxito de CTA se debió gracias a ese inmenso músico que fue Terry Kath. Cetera aportó su voz pero asimismo, destrozó a la banda volviendola comercial, perdiendo esa fuerza que la caracterizó en sus comienzos. Con la muerte de Terry Kath tb murió CTA.

Terrible without Dawayne and Bill.
