It is 2022 and Chicago is still on tour; my wife’s favorite band is playing the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester in May and sheds all summer long with Brian Wilson opening (how Wilson is still touring at this point is beyond me; the last time I saw him perform at Westbury opening for Jeff Beck, Brian Wilson could barely navigate the stage). I have no particular recollection of this Chicago performance but they always manage to play all of the iconic fan favorites. I actually liked when they performed Chicago II in its entirety a couple of tours ago. The casual Chicago fans were unhappy but I loved that they dug a little deeper into the catalogue for a change. Long time guitarist Keith Howland recently left the band under a cloud but, if Chicago has proven anything through the years, theses road warriors will continue on until there are no original members left, and quite probably beyond.

Beginnings

Rock on!
