Chicago

Chicago at the John. F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington D.C. (9/16/1971) arrives on 3 CDs, 4 LPs, and digital formats, preserving the band's show in the U.S. capital.  The concert was recorded just eight days after the opening of the Kennedy Center.  Every track on this set is previously unreleased (including the first-ever performance of "Saturday in the Park" and an embryonic "Dialogue" without Part Two; neither song had yet been recorded) with the exception of "Goodbye," which premiered in 2018 on Chicago: VI Decades Live.  The album, newly mixed from the original multi-track tapes by founding member Lee Loughnane and engineer Tim Jessup, boasts the classic Chicago lineup of Robert Lamm (keyboard, vocals), Terry Kath (guitar, vocals), Peter Cetera (vocals, bass), Danny Seraphine (drums), Lee Loughnane (trumpet, vocals), James Pankow (trombone), and Walt Parazaider (woodwinds, vocals). ​
