The concert that took place on Thursday, June 22, 2000 is one of my favorite Chicago shows more because of the venue than the performance itself. I think Caesars may have changed the place since, but back in 2000 the venue had table seating with waitress service, like the old time Vegas venues used to have. My wife snd I had so much fun on this trip, between seeing her favorite band, the casino, and not having to travel afterwards by staying overnight at the hotel. Thanks to her, I have seen Chicago many, many, many times and we will see them again soon at the Westbury Music Fair venue “in the round”. Only three original members remain, and the group still maintains a ridiculous touring schedule for a band at any age. There will be no Northwell at Jones Beach Theatre concert this year (what ‘s going on Jones Beach, only 14 shows on the schedule so far this summer?), but Chicago does have a Suffolk County concert scheduled around the time of the Westbury date, and other shows in the tri-state area on tap in April. One would think the merry go round has to stop for them at some point, and the cast of players seems to be turning over quicker and quicker these days, but the band continues to give its fans what they want on a nightly basis; a lot of hits and a lot of good memories.
