79% Terry !!!!!

 

My only concern is The Who's 1970 Isle of Wight recording didn't capture the bands live sound like Leeds or Hull from that year. I hope they did a better job capturing the live Chicago sound.

 

Better than I hoped for!

 

Interesting release, and hopefully a DVD at the end (disc 5)

 

Yes indeed.

 

It is.
In color (and mono).

 

According to this page, 'I've Been Searchin' So Long' segues into 'Mongonucleosis!'

 

I'd buy this just for the DVD!

 

This looks pretty good....better than what I expected. Do we know for sure the DVD is mono?
Did they really need to include "Little One" from 1978. Who would be singing lead on that one? Having a live Terry version would have been great!

 

Must get this!!!

 

Donnie Dacus sings lead on the ‘78 performance of “Little One”. Sadly, to my knowledge, Terry never performed the song live
during the tour in support of Chicago XI.

 

Thanks for that information rsauer, but Terry did do a live version in support of XI. There is a version on youtube that's why I questioned why they included the 78 version.

The tape is not very good but here it is.

 

Thanks, Joe. Not the best performance, but always wonderful to hear Terry in concert.

"Chicago has been a concert force for more than 50 years, thrilling its legion of fans with performances that never disappoint. This spring, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers will celebrate their live legacy with a 4CD/1DVD collection of previously unreleased concert recordings, which includes several deep cuts that have never appeared on any of the band's live albums.

CHICAGO: VI DECADES LIVE (THIS IS WHAT WE DO) will be available on April 6 for $64.98. The songs in the collection were recorded between 1969 and 2014, including the band's entire performance at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970. The DVD features a concert that was originally broadcast on the German music television show Rockpalast (a WDR production) in 1977. The set comes with a 24-page booklet illustrated with rare images selected from the band's vast archive.

The first two discs are dedicated to Chicago's headlining performance at the Isle of Wight Festival on August 28, 1970. It's a snapshot of the band on the verge of superstardom and captures them in top form, playing songs from their first two albums - "Beginnings" and "Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon" - as well as "Mother" from their third album, which was unreleased at the time. The other two headliners on this 3-day festival were The Doors and Jimi Hendrix.

The remaining discs include live performances selected from six decades, starting with a trio of songs recorded in Paris in 1969: "Poem For The People," "25 Or 6 To 4" and "Liberation." Other highlights include deep tracks like "A Hit By Varèse" (1973), "Takin' It On Uptown" (1977) and "Forever" (1987), in addition to songs from Chicago's 1994 big band tour: "In The Mood" and "Don't Get Around Much Anymore."

On February 12, 1977, Chicago played live on the German music television show Rockpalast . The entire concert is included here on DVD. An amazing overview of the band's career to that point, it boasts unforgettable performance of "Saturday In The Park," "Just You 'n' Me," "Call On Me" and "(I've Been) Searchin' So Long/Mongonucleosis," plus covers of the Beatles' "Got To Get You Into My Life" and The Spencer Davis Group's "I'm A Man." As a bonus, the DVD also includes the band's fan favorite performance of "What's This World Comin' To" from the 1973 ABC television special, Chicago In The Rockies. "

Would be cool to see an official release of Tanglewood concert in future on DVD, there's complete footage up on YouTube!

 

I'm not a Chicago expert. Have any of these performances shows circulated in good quality?

 

Got it. Thanks

 

£42 on Amazon in the UK at the moment.

 

Isle of Wight 1970 has not circulated previously as far as I know. I'm pumped. Most of disc 3 is new to me as well, with some rare cuts.

If tracks on disc 3 have circulated it has not been in soundboard quality IMO. I know the 78 stuff on disc 4 circulates but admittedly I'm not sure about the rest.

The DVD footage circulates (is on You Tube) but not in a complete form like on the new release. Someone may have some corrections....

 

It is mono as it was broadcast in 1977.

 

A lot of other Rockpalast releases have been remixed to 5.1 though.
