Movie Reviews of Heart of Chicago [MVI DVD + BONUS CD]Movie Review: Heart Of The Horns Summary: 4 Stars
When it comes down to it, there are so many generations of music that we seem to forget how unique and influential they are. While music today seem to be who is the winner of American Idol, there are acts that just are idols based on being unique. Chicago has known that all too well. For over 5 decades, Chicago's influence of Horns and Soul have made a unique blend of Rock, Pop and Adult Contemporary that has made everlasting fans for years to come. Yet, last year the group had celebrated their 40th Anniversary as a group. While they've had a different lineup for so many times and so many singers including Peter Cetera and the late Terry Kath, Chicago has still been as one, and that is widely celebrated as one for the first time on MVI DVD.
The 2008 re-release of The Heart Of Chicago 1967-1997 Volume 1, is a well-blended single disc collection that showcases the band at their biggest constant hits. The collection doesn't include any new songs, but all 15 songs from the classic album including standards like You're The Inspiration, If You Leave Me Now, Saturday In The Park and Colour My World to name a few. The collection is now remastered for the first time on a brand new DVD format, which allows listeners to hear these great songs to see extra content from their performances including interviews with Chicago's longtime members on what the songs were like when they made them as well as live content of songs like Beginnings from their 2002 grand performance on the A&E Live By Request program. While the MVI DVD can't be played on a regular CD player, there is a bonus CD which allows classic fans can hear these greats on the go. While the collection itself misses out on a lot of great Chicago songs like If She Would've Been Faithful, Street Player and Love Me Tomorrow, where they were well added on from the Heart Of Chicago Volume 2 1967-1998 follow-up, it sadly wasn't repackaged with this collection.
While The Heart Of Chicago 1967-1997 isn't as definitive to die hard fans as we've seen with more recent Chicago collections' like 2002's Only the Beginnning and their 2003 boxed set: The Box, it is something fresh and new that is sure to appeal to die hard fans, as well as anyone who hasn't yet heard a Chicago song in their life, than this would be a good starter to stroll to Saturday In The Park with.
