Can anyone confirm the names of the members of Chicago who participated in the concert last night at the Capitol?
There were two "old" guys on brass but are those the "replacements"?
The song is being performed with so many fireworks in Washington DC after Trump spoke as it is a female performer that is in the Navy. Over at the DC National Mall.
Bet someone will put this up as it will be shown over on Youtube! Just thought I would tell you fans of Chicago that!
I had heard that Lamm and Pankow were retired but I was willing to give this new lineup a fair shake. I couldn’t believe how bad the new lead singers were. Especially the one who was singing the Cetera parts. The one they had a couple of years ago was a lot better. But this band is so far gone that even all of the replacements have been replaced. A sad end for a great band.
Besides this July 4th being our 250th Anniversary it's also the last time it will fall on Saturday for over a decade making this the last time Chicago band's Saturday in the Park holds true until 2037.
Fourth of July:
2026: Saturday
2027: Sunday
2028: Tuesday (leap year)
2029: Wednesday
2030: Thursday
2031: Friday
2032: Sunday (This leap year results in the long wait)
2033: Monday
2034: Tuesday
2035: Wednesday
2036: Friday (leap year)
2037: Saturday
...and I think it's the Fourth of July.
I’m going to the concert tonight at the Toledo Zoo and am stumped on what to wear! For reference, it’ll be outside, humid with a feels like temp of 100! I want to be cute and comfy but not stick out like a sore thumb😂 I know this probably all feels dumb but I like to dress to my surrounds for my social anxiety😅
I spotted a Danny Seraphine-signed Chicago XI album yesterday while having a Chicago-style dog at a place called "Chicago" on Colfax in Lakewood, CO. As many of you know, Danny lived up the road in Evergreen for a number of years.
My all time favorite
Robert was out for lunch with Gerry Beckley last week, so he is getting out and doing things and he looked great in the picture. Do you suppose, just suppose, that maybe he and Jimmy would show up for the July 4th PBS Special to do a special appearance? These things are short usually 3-4 songs. I think they can handle that. It's not like they are committing to a 200 date tour. I mean it's America's 250th, Walter just passed, and if it means anything for the band's legacy, they should make an effort to show for just the one day!
Even Bruce Johnston, of the Beach Boys that has toured since 1965, retired from the road earlier this year, is joining Mike for the 4th of July and other special events. So hey, you never know?
Newer Chicago fan here (since 2024) going album-by-album to learn their discography before I see the touring group in August. Does anyone know why “Harry Truman” was chosen as a single instead of “Never Been in Love Before”? The latter sounds like many of their amazing hits that I already heard prior to this year. I didn’t grow up in the 70s, so maybe the Truman song meant something to people back then (I read on the Wiki it had to do with Nixon’s resignation), but I absolutely adore the Love Before song and just don’t get Truman.
In a very nice condition, all inserts present AFAIK, Gift pack Series was actually from japan, Chicago X from Germany. Strangely they arrived in the UK on the same day.
