After releasing its eighth consecutive gold album in just six years, Chicago embarked upon a massive stadium tour in 1975 that’s considered to be one of its finest. The shows found the group at the pinnacle of its prowess, combining the jaw-dropping musicality and contagious onstage energy that made Chicago one of the most successful acts in American rock history.
Rhino is celebrating the 40th Anniversary of this extraordinary tour for the ages with a two-disc set that contains two hours of live performances recorded June 24-26 at the Capital Centre in Largo, Maryland. LIVE IN ’75 includes selections from all of the group’s albums through its then-current Chicago VIII. The set flows like a greatest hits collection that spans nearly every smash – from Robert Lamm’s smooth baritone on “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?” to the Lee Loughnane-penned hit “Call On Me,” along with the soaring guitar work from the late Terry Kath on “25or 6 to 4.” The set also includes a complete performance of the crowd-pleasing “Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon” suite that James Pankow composed for the Chicago II album.
The 2CD collection is housed in a cardboard gatefold package, with a 16-page booklet featuring an essay by Ben Edmond. Previously released in a small D2C run, the album is now widely available for the first time. LIVE IN ’75 will be available on February 23rd.
