Chicago - The Band tickets

'Chicago Tickets'

'Since its 1969 debut, Chicago has produced a constant string of hits that have earned this act a reputation as one of the most popular bands of all time. The group continues to delight audiences of all ages with its versatile repertoire that transcends multiple genres. Some of Chicago's best-known hits include Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?, Saturday in the Park, Make Me Smile and Wishing You Were Here. Chicago's tour in 2019 will bring decades of musical hits to fans in cities across the nation.'

'From Seven to Nine'

'

Chicago started in 1967 with seven members, including

Peter Cetera

and Robert Lamm. Over the years, the band's membership has changed, and the Chicago sound has morphed to reflect personal and professional evolution. Chicago today consists of nine musicians, including four of its original founding members. Although Peter Cetera has moved on to a solo career and Terry Kath died prematurely, Robert Lamm continues to be the band's main vocalist and keyboard player. James Pankow, Lee Loughnane and Walter Parazaider join Lamm on the roster of founding members, lending their musical performance and song writing talents to the band's success. Chicago's recording career spans nearly 50 years, more than 100 million record sales, 17 platinum albums and nine multiplatinum records. The band was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2014 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.

'Who are the current members of Chicago?'

'Chicago's members include Robert Lamm, James Pankow, Lee Loughnane, Walter Parazaider, Keith Howland, Walfredo Reyes, Tris Imboden, Jason Scheff and Lou Pardini. Scheff replaced Peter Cetera in 1985, and Howland joined the group in 1995 as a replacement for the long-deceased Terry Kath. Imboden, Pardini and Reyes have been with the band since 1990 and contribute their talents on keyboard and percussion.'

'What can I expect from a Chicago concert?'

'Chicago has an extensive repertoire that spans five decades. Songs range from the crisp brass notes of 25 or 6 to 4 to the easy tones of If You Leave Me Now and the carefree listening of Saturday in the Park and Fancy Colors. With such a huge discography, it may be a challenge for Chicago to choose only a few of its hits to play at live performances. It is likely, however, that you will be treated to at least one of the major hits that were penned by Peter Cetera, including You're the Inspiration and Hard to Say I'm Sorry.'

'Did Chicago ever have a gold record?'

'

Chicago's outstanding and prolific recording career spans almost fifty years. Seventeen of the group's first 20 albums became platinum, and nine of those hit multiplatinum. The band's 1984 album,

, is the band's fourteenth release, and it won platinum six times.
