Movie Reviews of Chicago - Live by Request
Movie Review: It's The Musicianship
Summary: 5 Stars
There are quite a few reviews of this concert and widely varying opinions. You have to put Chicago in proper perspective though to give the band and this DVD a fair shake. This is no longer a band that generates new hits and they don't pretend to be. Their continued popularity owes more to the enduring melodies and powerful sound of the hits they wrote and the generous number of them. That devoted fans attend their live performances year after year in the U.S. and abroad is testimony to just how timeless many of the songs are and how personable the band members remain. That said, and contrary to some of the criticisms made, I think the sound of this recording is remarkable. You can hear every blow from the horns, every note from the base, and every beat from the drum rolls. Add to that a beautiful stage design, great lighting and filming, the intimacy of a small venue, and handsome graphics. What the heck more do you want? I've seen this group live and can attest that, as a musical experience and engineering accomplishment, the DVD is better. Yes, Champlin looks like he needs an ex-lax every time he sings. And Scheff mangles the lyrics on (of all songs) "Dialogue." But these are the dysfunctions that family members overlook, and these guys really are family. Watch the concert and you'll see that Chicago's musicianship is still of the highest caliber.
Summary of Chicago - Live by Request
Chicago hasn't generated much in the way of headlines or controversy in the course of its decades-long existence. But what they have produced is an extraordinary number of hits--many more, in fact, than even this 92-minute, televised performance can accommodate. It's a track record that even those who dismiss Chicago's music as slick MOR pop can't ignore, and one that's underlined in this 2002 installment of A&E's Live by Request program. Celebrating their 35th anniversary (with four original members still on hand), the eight-piece band gives spirited performances of "Beginnings," "If You Leave Me Now," "Colour My World," and 13 others (including bonus tunes), inspired by a live audience and fans' phoned-in requests. Long-departed bassist Peter Cetera may be missed, but his lead vocals are ably replaced by guitarist Keith Howland and especially bassist Jason Scheff (an outstanding player whose dad, Jerry, played with Elvis Presley). All in all, a quality show by a band whose consistency and longevity deserve respect. --Sam GrahamMusic Video & Concerts DVD Video
