Carl Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 That tour is coming to a great little theater here in Connecticut. I love EW&F, but I'm afraid Chicago is going to play stuff like "Hard For Me To Say I'm Sorry," causing me to run screaming into the lobby. If they're playing their early stuff, complete with mighty horns, I'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy1104 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Carl....I saw Chicago in concert back in 1995 at the Meadowlands in NJ. If they stay true to form as they did back then, be prepared to hear many early hits as well as some of their later stuff. I think their album count was up to Chicago XXIII so you have to expect a diverse mix. Where are they playing in CT and when? BTW....when I saw them their warm up act was Blessed Union Of Souls. They had a hit at that time. I can't recall the name but the song was about a young couple involved in a mixed race relationship. It was a hit for them. They were surprisingly very good. Whatever happened to them?......Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 I think Blessed Union Of Souls went the way of Soul Asylum, Sour 4 Real and Soul II Soul, not to mention the Soul System, who had a minor hit with a cover of Bill Wither's "Lovely Day." Sara and I saw the Chicago/Earth, Wind And Fire show last night under the stars. Very impressive. I'm a huge EW&F guy, and it was great to see they can still bring some funk. Chicago has a lot of great songs, so it was worth sitting through wussirific stuff like "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" in order to hear those horns. Both bands were able to go the whole show playing nothing but hits. Chicago was at their best on early classics like "Saturday In The Park" and "Color My World." EW&F were a little thin on songs like "Fantasy," but brought the noise on "Let's Groove" and "Boogie Wonderland." The last part of the show was a frenzy of horns and high-harmonies, with both bands on stage for "Shining Star," "Sing A Song," and "25 Or 6 To 4."
