Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Chicago became the first non-classical group to perform six nights in a row at Carnegie Hall 50 years ago. Between April 5 and 10, 1971, the band played eight shows at the celebrated venue (including two matinees) and recorded every one of them. In October of that year, performance highlights were featured on the band’s first-ever live album, Chicago at Carnegie Hall. That quadruple-LP reached #3 on the Billboard 200, was certified platinum, and is still the band’s best-selling live album.

To honor the 50th anniversary of Chicago’s historic concerts, the band will release all eight Carnegie Hall shows in their entirety for the first time in a new 16-CD deluxe boxed set. CHICAGO AT CARNEGIE HALL COMPLETE will be available on July 16th exclusively at Rhino.com

Chicago founding member and trumpeter Lee Loughnane and engineer Tim Jessup spent nearly a year meticulously going through more than 40 concert tapes at Loughnane’s new studio in Arizona to remaster each concert. Their hard work paid off with eight fantastic-sounding shows.

CHICAGO AT CARNEGIE HALL COMPLETE is presented in a white folio that’s embossed with the group’s trademark logo. The set beautifully commemorates the event through memorabilia that includes replicas of the three posters that accompanied the original vinyl release and images of the original concert program, tickets, and other memorabilia from the historic run. The collection also comes with a 28-page booklet illustrated with photos from the concerts, plus new liner notes with contributions by Loughnane; archivist Jeff Magid, writer/producer David Wild and comedy icon/Chicago fanatic Jimmy Pardo.

When Chicago arrived in New York City in April 1971 to play eight shows at Carnegie Hall, the band was at the peak of its early experimental period and riding high on the success of the group’s third consecutive platinum album, Chicago III. For these historic shows, the band played a cross-section of hits from their first three studio albums, including “Beginnings,” “Questions 67 and 68,” “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?” and “25 or 6 to 4.” The set also includes the previously unheard first songs from the first show, “Someday (August 29, 1968).”

The performances showcase memorable contributions from every band member, including Terry Kath’s stellar guitar work, heartfelt vocals by Kath, Robert Lamm, and Peter Cetera, the vibrant horn work by Loughnane, James Pankow, and Walt Parazaider, as well as the jazz-influenced drumming of Danny Seraphine.

My jaw is dropping for several reasons.

The price is $180.00.

The content could be amazing.

Tim Jessup did the audio and that worries me.

I worship Terry Kath and need this.

I don't have the space or money for this.

I want this.

I can't have this.

And I want this.

Those are my thoughts...

This has been moved to Collector's Corner since it's a Rhino website "exclusive" -- meaning, I'll wait for the inevitable general release.

As my wife tells me it's not my needs that get me in trouble but rather my wants...and me wants this very much also IP...

All I can say is

Did Tim Jessup do the previous live box set a couple years ago as well?

The audio on that set was VERY underwhelming.

Wow, that's a lot of the same show. I think $5/CD would be about right for this set. Not $12/CD. If it gets down to about $80, I'll probably grab it.

Not a big Chicago fan but this is interesting.

I would be interested in having it, like as a Christmas gift, but not in buying it myself, I think.

This doesn't really combat the existing feeling that there have been fewer artists as in love with it's back catalog. Between the endless incarnations of greatest hits albums and live recordings, how many times are they going to end up putting "25 or 6 to 4" and "Beginnings" out into the world?

25 or 6 to 40, maybe?

Oh my goodness!!!! Nice!!

SNAP!

Jessup is scaring me.

Terry Kath is the greatest guitar player that ever lived and no Chicago concert in this era was ever the same.

And this is a band with very few live releases.

Jessup scares the hell out of me because his diabolical remix of CTA was tragic and the live box was a mix of gold and trash.

He worked 10 months on this, so I’d like to think he got it right.

Almost forgot about that remix debacle from 2 years ago.

OK, i asked this about neil young and now i'll ask about chicago:

which chicago song has been on the most OFFICIAL chicago albums?

never did get a definitive answer for neil young BTW.

I think it has to be Beginnings. It appears in every greatest hits set and live recording that 25 or 6 to 4 was, but I think it was also on the Love Songs complilation.

Although 25 or 6 to 4 also has the Chicago 18 remake, so if you count that I guess they're tied.

what about 'make me smile" and 'color my world"?

both were in the 'ballet' don't forget.

No, Dave Donnelly did that series of remasters including the 4 CD set. Tim Jessup did the recent CTA remix which does not bode well for this 16 CD set.

I feel bad trashing the guy’s work in CTA because he’s been very kind in explaining what he did regarding this box.

If I can figure out how to post that I will.

Basically, he does exactly what the band (in particular Lee) wants, and what you hear is what they want.
