Movie Reviews of Soundstage Presents Chicago - Live in Concert
Movie Review: 34 Years On: Still Bringin' The Chops
Summary: 5 Stars
Ah, the mighty Chicago. My first favorite group. Sadly, as popular as they became and as popular as they have remained, Chicago has never, EVER, received the true artistic acclaim they deserve. It is simply absurd that Chicago is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Period.
But about this DVD? You should buy it. It is far better than Live By Request. No commercial breaks. No guest interviews. Simply a full concert performance by guys who can bring it anytime, anywhere. This DVD is so good that I haven't been able to take it out of my player to check out the new Queen and Stray Cats DVDs, which are sitting here ready to go.
And what a concert this is. Stunning performances of 25 or 6 to 4, Hard Habit to Break, Feelin' Stronger, etc., etc. Best of all, not just Make Me Smile and Color My World, but the full Ballet for a Girl in Buchanon. Critics always rave (rightfully so) about thematic suites like Tommy, Pet Sounds, Abbey Road side 2, etc., but to my ears Ballet for a Girl in Buchanon pretty much deserves mention in that group as well.
One thing, though. If you are an old time fan, this DVD WILL make you miss Terry Kath. This is not a slight on Keith Howland, who is an excellent guitarist (but, Keith, what's up with the green Strat?), but Terry was truly special both as a singer and as a guitarist. Not to slam Bill Champlin or Robert Lamm either, but I really feel the absence of Terry's gruff growl on Dialogue, Color My World, etc.
SO, bottom line, go pick this up. And toss the Rhino remastered versions of Chicago Transit Authority and Chicago II into your cart as well.
