Description
Chicago was one of the first groups to perform at the Kennedy Center after it opened in September 1971. That historic concert has been newly re-mixed from the original multi-track tapes by Chicago founding member and trumpeter Lee Loughnane and engineer Tim Jessup and will debut in an upcoming collection from Rhino.
This 26-track live 4LP collection was recorded on September 16, 1971, about a week after the John. F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts opened in the nations capital. For more than 50 years, the concert has remained unreleased except for the performance of Goodbye, which debuted in 2018 on Chicago: VI Decades Live.
The show explores all three studio albums that Chicago released since their 1969 debut. The songs span a range of styles, underscoring the bands ability to blend genres seamlessly. There are rockers (25 Or 6 To 4 and Im A Man), ballads (Colour My World and Beginnings), jazz-influenced tracks (Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?), and extended song suites (Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon and It Better End Soon.)
