As a many many decades fan of CHI I got what I wanted Sunday evening. Something
from Chicago that i've never heard before in concert. The rendition of Chicago II was
great...especially Fancy Colours, In the Country, It Better End Soon, and Poem for the
People. The second part of their set were about 10 or so of the basic chestnuts
usually performed. Enjoyed all (except the power ballads) and look forward to their
2019 tour.
I find the comments interesting about being surprised / disappointed about the CHI
set-list for this concert. A brief check of their website (starting months ago) would
have shown you the plan for 2018. I bought tickets to this event not giving 2 hoots
about REO but I sat there as an adult enduring their sound and applauded
respectfully after all songs. Get a grip folks.........it's music.......and two completely
different bands/ sounds / styles.

LAKEVIEW IS OUR FAVORITE.
Syracuse has a lot to be proud of with the Lakeview venue. Great place to see a concert.
Yes, it was loud. People covered their ears at times. As for the concert I'm not a huge REO
fan but I will say they came to please and the audience was thrilled. As for Chicago this
was our 7th time seeing them in 2 yrs. We go because they have a special unique sound
and are incredible musicians. Of course we love to hear their hits. Going through their
second album left the audience confused and anxious to hear what they came to hear.
Great solos by Keith the lead guitar player and their new percussion team. Felt the solo
sung by Lou Pardini was out of place in that venue but again it was part of the 2nd album.
Outside of that they were fantastic. Once bands like Chicago and EWF stop we will really
miss those horn sections. I'm sure Chicago will rethink their song list next year. The've
been giving people what they wanted for 50 yrs. Give them a break. Thank God for
Chicago!!

REO IS FANTASTIC !! CHICAGO NEEDS TO LISTEN TO THEIR FANS !!
REO was amazing last night. Brought the entire
amphitheater back to the Good Old Days. Everybody
singing along, cheering, clapping and dancing. What a
great time. Chicago although great musicians, seem
to be playing for a Las Vegas hotel. Everybody just sat
in astonishment. Most of the band members are
new, and it seems that the group is not Chicago at all
If they would play popular Chicago songs throughout
from beginning to end, and not just the second
album. The fans would not leave, and go home.
Really disappointed. With all that said, the Venue is
great. I love the outside space. Easy to maneuver,
and close to all amenities so your not away from your
seats long. Everyone is helpful, and quick to serve
you in all areas. Love going to the Mid Florida
Amphitheatre.

CHICAGO GOT THE RIGHT AUDIENCE!
Despite a stormy night with a complete shut down of
the venue at one point Chicago blew Raleigh away.
The audience instead of being put off by a little band
history lesson, actually listened to the complex early
works. They and the responding audience started to
work together to create a great concert experience.
Those guys worked theiir @sses off. I didn't know
what to expect after reading other reviews. Damn
glad I ignored them. One of top 10 shows I've been
to. That's our of nearly 100 of all types of acts.
Chicago is a sure ticket whenever they come around
again.

CHICAGO ROCKED, REO WAS LAME
I've never been a huge REO Speedwagon fan. I was at Wednesday night's concert to
see Chicago. I've seen Chicago many times and they always rock. I'm a huge fan of
the horns.
REO sounded weak and the bass was way too much. The overall sound of the band
was tired and worn out. They played all of their wimpy ballads and very few of the
songs that actually rock.
I knew going into the concert that Chicago was going to play their second album
from beginning to end. I knew that I wouldn't know many of the songs so I just had
to wait it out until midway through their set list. The wait was well worth it.
I know I'm in the minority here. Chicago rocked their songs while REO was a huge
disappointment. Chicago's show was a huge success even without Peter Cetera.
Ralph from Chicago, Illinois
REO IS THE BEST, CHICAGO HAS AN EGO PROBLEM
REO was outstanding as they always are. High energy, great sound. Played all the songs
we all grew up with and love. Chicago, not sure where the thought process was. Chicago
2, albeit a great album, is not what we were all there for. Was going to leave at
intermission, but talked the wife into staying. Second half of show was fantastic, but lots
a lot of people with the first half and playing Chicago 2.
Fatima Horner from Toronto, Ontario
REO - ROCKED IT - CHICAGO - HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT
REO Speedwagon put on an awesome show. Kept you excited and in the concert mood.
I would go see them again in a heartbeat. Chicago, very disappointing. started with a 45
instructmental piece which felt like I needed to leave and go striaght to bed. They saved
all the popular songs for last wihich at that point most of the crowd had already left
because it was not interesting at all. Would not ever spend money to watch them in
concert again. Budweiser Stage was awesome, first time there and loved the stadium.
