I’d like to but the closest gig to me is Seattle; a 3 1/2 hr flight plus all the other stuff that’d be required. Just can’t justify the missed work & expense. Always said if you’re playing in Fairbanks you ain’t at the top of your game anymore...
Me and the Misses went to see them in Douglas, Ga. after I watched the previous video you posted of them, and found an awesome venue in the process, "The Martin Center". I am 55 and not easily impressed to where I part with my $, it was the best live show we have seen in 28 years of being together, and may get to see them in Birmingham, Ala.. No politics, no agenda just musicians jamming and having a great time, I know we sure did. Thanks again Irish
Listening to the lead vocals on I've Been Searchin' So Long, I'm thinking, "Is it live (Peter Cetera) or is it Memorex?". That's some real talent there. Ohio Guy
This is my theme song for the near future, and the proof that metal is color blind is displayed by this man's shit eating grin at various points in the review. Minute 3:37 is the money quote.
They are analog and organic and the talent shows because of it. It is so nice to hear fresh clean and enthusiastic music instead of the over produced and canned crap that passes for it today.
They take pains to stay true to the sources of their performances and it is a real treat to her them.
SO much fun to listen to. Uncanny sound, almost identical to Chicago Transit Authority... yes, I remember the original name and have the original album cover.
Where the hell have these guys been hidin? (and what’s my next ex-wife doing with them?)
ReplyDeleteIf you ever get the chance to see this group jump at it. Saw them in Sacramento a couple years ago and they kicked BIG LEAGUE ass on stage.

DeleteThey are touring right now in the US. Kansas City, Dallas and others. Besides Chicago songs, they cover Earth, Wind and Fire.
ReplyDeleteI love Chicago more because of these guys than because of the original band itself. Thank you for finding them and spreading them to the internets.

ReplyDeleteThey're still on tour here in the US ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not big on going to concerts, but I would pay to go see those folks. Chicago should be jealous.
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for sharing. I saw Chicago in 1972. Always been one of my favorites. These guys are awesome.
ReplyDeleteWowser. Spot on.

ReplyDeleteGood stuff Maynard.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! How did they ever get Gavin Newsom on the horn is beyond me!
ReplyDeleteJust another 20+ piece garage band. Yawn. ;-)
ReplyDeleteTheir studio recordings are magnificent. These guys (and one hot gal) are pro's. Clearly, they've put in a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking their music sir, I now have a whole bookmark menu dedicated to just this group.

Agreed
DeleteChicago stuck in my head all day. Listening again. Fantastic. Thanks
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the lead singer doing "Beginnings" left the band.
ReplyDeleteHe is great
