Chicago/MA,USA 1970

CHICAGO in 1970 was buzzing with a number of hit singles, with “Chicago and 23 Oaths” reaching No. 4 in the United States. The highest peak version of the classic pro shot is now available. This work was filmed at “Lennox Performance on July 21, 1970.” This is a multi-camera professional shot taken when I performed at the “Tanglewood Music Festival”. A legend in rock history: This is a famous video that is also known for MCing Bill Graham, but this work is the highest version. It is a complete version that lasts about 95 minutes. Before we get into the details, let’s talk about the show’s position. Let’s take a look back at their schedule at the time, when they became the darling of the era with hit after hit. ・January 8th – 25th: North America #1 (12 performances) [“Chicago and 23 Oaths” released on January 26th] ・February 15th – May 25th: North America #2 (72 performances) ・6 March 26th + 27th: North America #3 (2 performances) [Production of “Chicago III” begins at the end of June] ・July 16th – August 24th: North America #4 (28 performances) ←★Here★・August 28th : Isle of Wight Festival ・September 1st – November 26th: North America #5 (46 performances) [“Chicago III” completed in early December] This is CHICAGO in 1970. The above list is based on the albums “Chicago and 23 Oaths” and “Chicago III,” but in addition to these, singles have also been released one after another. The singles “Make Me Smile” were released in March, “25 or 6 to 4” in June, and “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?” in October were released and became top 10 hits. In the aftermath, the biggest tour in their history was carried out. Under such circumstances, the Lennox performance of this work is the 6th performance of “North America #4”. It was a concert about a month before their appearance at the legendary “Isle of Wight Festival”. As mentioned above, professional shots taken at such shows have become a staple, but this work is the best of them. A version with a time counter was leaked from Bill Graham’s collection, but unlike that, it is a complete version that does not have a counter and is about 95 minutes long and “only CHICAGO can be seen”. Moreover, the image quality is excellent. Anyway, the sweet analog feel is irresistible. There is no trace of master deterioration, and the screen is extremely glossy with no noise or distortion, and the metallic luster of the brass, microphone stand, snare, etc. is teratterra, and the mellow colors are exactly as they were at the time. What’s even better is the audio. A complete sound board has also appeared in this show, and its quality is completely official. Of course, calling it “official grade” is a bit of a stretch, but this work is absolutely perfect. The freshness of the master and the beautifully separated mix are perfect, and it is a historical masterpiece sound that is in no way inferior to many studio works. It is truly a transcendent quality, but the content of the show is wonderful. As mentioned above, this show is a little different, just before the legendary Isle of Wight festival. Let’s organize the contents of the set while comparing them here. Chicago Trail・Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?／Beginnings／I’m a Man Chicago and 23 Oaths・In The Country／25 or 6 to 4／Poem for the People（★）／It Better End Soon・Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon (Make Me Smile/So Much To Say, So Much To Give/Colour My World/Make Me Smile) Chicago III・I Don’t Want Your Money (★)/Mother *Note: “★” The song marked here was not heard at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. …and it looks like this. At that time, “Chicago and 23 Oaths” was in the midst of a huge hit, and at the same time, he also started working on “Chicago III.” The timing was obvious, and the first two masterpieces were played on a large scale, and the two songs from “Chicago III” were sprinkled over there. “I Don’t Want Your Money” and “Mother” are valuable, and the former in particular is an extremely rare song that was only recorded a few times by Hong until 1971. Even more intense than the set is the performance itself. I am overwhelmed by the magnificent ensemble of brass rock standard-bearers, but the favorite is Terry Cass. He was 24 years old at the time, and was very active playing the guitar and singing with great energy. That is why it will be a great performance that surpasses even “AT CARNEGIE HALL” and “LIVE IN JAPAN”. A superb professional shot that allows you to witness approximately 95 minutes of the great performance of 1970, which took the world by storm. This is the highest version. It is a piece of cultural heritage without any questions asked, and it is a masterpiece among masterpieces that even rivals “Chicago Trail” and “Chicago and 23 Oaths” themselves. It’s impossible to love CHICAGO and not have experienced this work. That’s the decisive video. Live at Tanglewood Music Center, Lenox, MA, USA 21st July 1970 PRO-SHOT 1. In The Country 2.
