Customer Reviews of Chicago - Live by Request
Chicago LIVE This is a wonderful DVD which features the performance they did on the A & E Cable network. During this show the audience could call in and request a song for Chicago to perform. It was a fantastic performance, one which any fan would love to have in their DVD collection. Over the years Chicago has, and continues to be, one of the tightest live bands around. They put out an amazing amount of sound. Of course, live performances sound different than the studio recordings because there is not the benefit of tracking. I have seen them perform three times over the past two years and have enjoyed every concert. This is a terrific DVD in which the band gives another outstanding performance, I have never heard the horns sound better and the vocals of Lamm, Scheff, Howland and Champlin were solid. Contrary to other postings in this area, Bill Champlin was great. He has been with the band for more than 20 years, and brings with him his own unique style. This was vintage Bill Champlin and it was fantastic. Most bands, when they do a concert, work from a preset song list. That wasn't the case on this night. They were taking requests, having to decide at the last minute how to set up for that particular song, these are veteran performers who still enjoy the music. Regrettably, there was a flat note hit in the opening bars of the opening song. Being that this was the very first selection I question whether the soundboard was properly set up for the artist to monitor his vocal track. But that is what live music is all about, and Chicago is one of the all time great live bands.
Chicago - Live By Request
Fantastic DVD!!! I taped the show last year & have watched it dozens of times. As soon as I saw it was available on DVD, I ordered it.
As a sound tech for over 35 years and as a drummer, I know this performance and the audio balance are not "perfect" (no "live" performance ever is). But a live performance shows the group's personalities that a studio recording never can show. This program does it very, very well. It's obvious that the members, especially the orignal four, enjoy what they're doing and enjoy doing it with each other (even after 35 years together).
While I liked Chicago's music before, after I saw the show, I became a FAN.
If anyone in a band wants to emulate how a band looks and works onstage, this is the video to study.
FANTABULOUS PERFORMANCE!!!
Despite what the critics have previously said about Jason Scheff, bad recording, bad vocals, etc. I believe that this DVD is EXCELLENT, and I don't have a better word to put it. I absolutely LOVE this band and think that Peter Cetera is no better than Jason Scheff. Peter Cetera was nothing but a big fat traitor to Chicago, leaving the band at a time when Chicago's success was subsiding (but of course later came back on track).
The best vocalists were Jason Scheff and Robert Lamm. Kudos to both of you! Jason Scheff did amazing lead vocals in Questions 67 & 68, 25 or 6 to 4, Feeling Stronger Everday, and You're the Inspiration. And Robert Lamm did GREAT lead vocals in Satruday in the Park, Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is, Color My World, and Beginnings.
Jimmy (James) Pankow, Walter Parazaider and Lee Loughnane were fantastic with the horns. Absolutely wonderful. Tris Imbolden's beats were great, even though he messed up a tiny bit in 25 or 6 to 4, if you listen *very* carefully. Keith Howland did good vocals in If You Leave Me Now, and his guitar skills were good. And as for Bill Champlin, he was a great pianist but the vocals were not as good.
And I must mention that 25 or 6 to 4 on this performance was WAY better than the original one, with Peter Cetera's lead vocals. In fact, all the originals that Peter Cetera did are much better with Jason Scheff's vocals.
Overall, Chicago pulled on a great show, not flawless (hey, nothing is), but really really great. I watch it everyday (no kidding) and I got copies for friends and family. Get yours today and have a GREAT time with Chicago! Go Chicago (Lots of credits to Jason Scheff and Rob Lamm) !!!!!!!!
