Description:
Chicago hasn't generated much in the way of headlines or controversy in the course of its decades-long existence. But what they have produced is an extraordinary number of hits--many more, in fact, than even this 92-minute, televised performance can accommodate. It's a track record that even those who dismiss Chicago's music as slick MOR pop can't ignore, and one that's underlined in this 2002 installment of A&E's Live by Request program. Celebrating their 35th anniversary (with four original members still on hand), the eight-piece band gives spirited performances of "Beginnings," "If You Leave Me Now," "Colour My World," and 13 others (including bonus tunes), inspired by a live audience and fans' phoned-in requests. Long-departed bassist Peter Cetera may be missed, but his lead vocals are ably replaced by guitarist Keith Howland and especially bassist Jason Scheff (an outstanding player whose dad, Jerry, played with Elvis Presley). All in all, a quality show by a band whose consistency and longevity deserve respect. --Sam Graham
