130 Chicago, Part 1

For our first look at this band, we covered their first years, up to the death of guitarist Terry Kath.  That covers a lot of ground, eleven albums in eight years, with a lot of change.

The preshow and postshow contained a couple of the long suites of songs that were a feature of their early years, but would have been too long for the main show.

Since I talked a lot about the covers, I’ve linked images of them to the album names.  The ones we missed out are Chicago at Carnegie Hall, which is number 4 in the sequence (White Tile), and Chicago IX – Chicago’s Greatest Hits (Painted Billboard)
