Chicago - The Band
The legendary rock & roll band with horns!
Why see Chicago - The Band?
Chicago Who?
You'll be forgiven for occasionally confusing this seminal rock band with other equally famous entities that share its name. This particular Chicago is neither a windy city nor a Broadway musical... Chicago (the band) formed in the late 1960s, their popularity peaking during the hey-days of 70s and 80s rock epitomized by big hair and even bigger ballads. If you've ever heard iconic lyrics, "Oooooh no baby please don't go!", then you've heard of Chicago.
Their debut album, 'Chicago Transit Authority' is so culturally significant that it was selected by the Library of Congress for the National Recording Registry, cementing their status as true architects of the American sound! They're also inductees to both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame. If you're still curious but unsure, there's only one thing to it... head to one of their next gigs and experience these legendary American rockers live on stage for yourself!

Chicago With Brian Wilson
So, I am young, under 30. My 4th time seeing Chicago live. They were excellent. Sounded as close to their album versions as they could have. The only thing that doesn't sit right with me...is Brian Wilson, their opener. He literally sat center stage, at a piano, looking...like a person with severe dementia. He looked like he had no clue where he was, and I didn't see him sing a single word, or even touch the piano in front of him. After research, I have learned he has severe schizophrenia, mostly from his LSD use. He should NOT be touring. I feel as though his good name is being exploited for profit. The person who sung all the Beach Boy hits was a light skinned african american man, in his 20s. If you can find any recent vids of concerts with Brian, please watch them. I would have rather seen Chicago with no opener, then what I saw on that stage last night. The man seems almost comatose. He needs to be relaxing somewhere, enjoying his wealth. Not being forced to perform. ... Read more

Chicago the Band/ in San Antonio 3/7/2026
Highly recommend going to see Chicago every chance you get! For me, a trip down memory lane for sure. But for everyone: their energy, musicianship, generous set list, and overall sweet fire will leave you breathless. Bravo to the originals who have brought on new bandmates and assimilated them in a way that is impossible to define. This was the same Chicago that I went to see twice in the 70s and once in the 80s. Enjoyable, sometimes even emotional, loved every second! ... Read more

Chicago at the Dome in Va Beach
I could’ve stayed all night. It was great. Their sound was great. They brought back so many memories from the 70s and I would turn right around and go back and see them again. ... Read more
