Movie Reviews of Chicago - Live by Request

Movie Review: great songs - pity about 5.1
Summary: 4 Stars

The songs and format are great and the musicianship is awesome. Unlike many older groups the vocals are close to the original - in fact Peter Cetera is hardly missed. The only problem is the 5.1 sound - who ever mixed it has no idea what he was doing - it sounds as if the vocals are recorded in a toilet , while the band is in your lounge. Do the producers / engineers even listen to the sound , or just dont care ? In stereo or dolby pro-logic sound is great , but if you are into 5.1 , give it a miss. I personally love this dvd for the songs / memories and the sheer quality of the groups playing.

Movie Review: This is not the best performance of Chicago
Summary: 4 Stars

I aggree with that one guy, who really was mad about this DVD, but not completely. What definetely is correct is his opinion about the singing of Bill Champlin.
Man, I guess Bill was under drugs, when he was on stage that night. His vocals on "Dialogue" for example, are horrible. Only screaming in the highest notes is not an attribute of a god singer.
But the rest of the band were doing fine in my mind. Sometimes the choir vocals where not correct or not that rich sounding, what I'm used to hear from Chicago. But it was a live recording !

Movie Review: I want 70's Chicago.
Summary: 4 Stars

First of all ,I haven't heard anybody sound like Terry Kath.This guy Bill Champlin does a terrible job trying to sound like T. Kath.I mean ,he's really bad.Other than that this is a pretty good concert.These new guys don't sound better than Peter Cetera,but they do a good job.P.Cetera was a underrated bass player on those first couple of albums,and Danny Seraphine was one of my favourite drummers.This DVD is worth the money though.On certain songs it's very enjoyable but I guess I'll have to wait for some vintage 70's Chicago.

Movie Review: GOOD SHOW, BUT MORE OPTIONS NEEDED
Summary: 4 Stars

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS DVD IS THAT YOU CANT WATCH THE SHOW WITHOUT THE BETWEEN SONG TALKING FROM THE ORIGINAL A&E BROADCAST. IT'S FUN TO SEE ONCE, BUT AFTER THAT, I JUST WANT TO HEAR THE SONGS. THERE SHOULD BE THE OPTION TO JUST PLAY THE CONCERT. I HAVE OTHER DVD'S WITH THIS FEATURE. I ALSO DONT UNDERSTAND THE OTHER REVEIWERS PROBLEM WITH THE SOUND. IT SOUNDS GREAT ON MY SYSTEM. DID YOU TRY ALL THE AUDIO OPTIONS? ALL IN ALL, IT'S A GOOD SHOW.
