The rock band Chicago: front (L-R) Lee Loughnane, Robert Lamm, James Pankow; back (L-R) Neil Donell, ... [+] Eric Baines, Ramon Yslas, Tony Obrohta, Ray Herrmann, Loren Gold, Walfredo Reyes Jr.

In November of last year, the veteran rock band Chicago performed a special show at Atlantic City’s Ocean Casino Resort that featured guest appearances by Steve Vai, Robert Randolph, Chris Daughtry, Judith Hill, VoicePlay, Robin Thicke and Christone “Kingfish” Ingram. For Chicago trumpeter and original member Lee Loughnane, the show marked a rare occasion of the band collaborating with multiple artists onstage.

“It was great to work with all the guest artists,” he says recently. “We don't have anybody sit in with us on a normal basis. And maybe if we do, it's like one person or something like that. But to have seven was challenging and very interesting to work with each one, and see how they brought their expertise to work with us and how they were able to give us their interpretation of our music. It was very cool watching it happen.”

The experience in Atlantic City was also filmed and is now being presented as Chicago & Friends in Concert , which will be screened in theaters this Thursday, April 18, and Sunday, April 21 (the film will be available in a variety of commercial formats in the future). A collaboration between the band, Fan Tracks, Iconic Events and Mercury Studios, Chicago & Friends in Concert features Chicago – led by co-founders Loughnane, trombonist James Pankow and keyboardist/singer Robert Lamm – playing over two hours of classic hits including “Saturday in the Park,” “25 or 6 to 4,” “Old Days, “If You Leave Me Now,” “Hard to Say I’m Sorry” and You’re the Inspiration.”

Loughnane felt that the special guest artists brought something new to the time-tested Chicago material as captured in the new film, which was executive produced by Decades Rock Live! series creator Barry Summers. “I think they had a great time too,” Loughnane says of the artists. “Talking to them backstage and then performing with them, you could see that they were enjoying what they were doing.”

For his appearance, Thicke sang lead on two Chicago songs, including “Call on Me” (from 1974’s Chicago VII album) that Loughnane wrote. “I think he did a great job,” Loughnane says. “And interestingly enough, he's singing it in a little more falsetto, which you're not used to hearing. I think it added something different to the song that was very emotionally pleasing.”

Another highlight from the shows was the vocal group VoicePlay performing such Chicago songs as “Look Away,” “If You Leave Me Now” and “Happy Man” with the band in an semi-acoustic setting. “At various times, we do an unplugged segment ourselves on stage just to sort of break it up,” Loughnane says. “It was great to hear how they approached our songs and how we were able to blend the two bands together.”

Meanwhile, Chicago will be marking another year of summer touring as they join forces with Earth, Wind and Fire again on the Heart and Soul tour beginning July 10 in Missouri. Says Loughnane: “We can't wait for it. We're going to rehearse a couple of days with Earth, Wind and Fire, and then do about 30 shows with them. We've always played the encore at the end, where we do a half-hour’s worth of music, three of their songs and three of our songs, and everybody plays. It's really cool.”

The new film and the upcoming summer tour with EWF come as Chicago marks the 55th anniversary of their groundbreaking debut album, The Chicago Transit Authority , which featured the original band lineup of Loughnane, Lamm, Pankow, guitarist Terry Kath saxophonist Walt Parazaider, drummer Danny Seraphine and bassist Peter Cetera. A good number of that album’s tracks were performed during the group’s Atlantic City appearance last year, including the deep cuts “Poem 58,” “South California Purples” and “Listen” for the first time in many years.

“We hadn't played them since we had enough hits…and people wanted to hear our current hits,” Loughnane says. “So as we amassed more hits and live performances, we weren't able to do the deeper cuts anymore because people would actually complain. Not that we weren't playing things that they would enjoy hearing, but they wanted to hear the hits even over the deeper cuts.”

Recorded in New York City with producer James William Guercio, The Chicago Transit Authority ( which was also Chicago’s original name) was an ambitious double album of jazz rock, progressive rock and pop. Upon its initial release, the record’s singles didn’t become immediate hits.

“Interestingly enough, AM radio wasn't ready for it either because when we initially released “Beginnings” and “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is,” they didn't want to play it,” Loughnane recalls. “Top 40 didn't want to play it because they said we hadn't had a hit yet. So that was the excuse, the catch-22 type thing. But obviously, how are you going to have a hit if you don't play it?”

But interest in the songs from The Chicago Transit Authority was revived when the band’s second album, 1970’s Chicago (a.k.a. Chicago II ), became a success and generated hits with “Make Me Smile,” “Colour My World” and “25 or 6 to 4.” “And then we went back and re-released the songs off of the first album,” Loughnane says, “So it worked for us in retrospect.

“The thing that was the most bizarre was the way the press acted toward it,” he continues, “because they put the first album as ‘groundbreaking,’ ‘way ahead of our time’ and all of that stuff. And then when we went back and re-released the songs [from The Chicago Transit Authority ] and they became hits, the same people started saying that we had sold out because the songs were hits. We hadn't changed one note on any of those songs. I think it told us that we should concentrate on what we're doing on our music, try to keep all of the other noise away from us, and just do what we enjoy doing.”

Not only did that debut album highlight the horns and Lamm’s songwriting but it also showcased the electrifying guitar work of Kath, who died in 1978. “Terry is greatly overlooked as far as the greatest guitar players of all time in pop music. And he got overlooked because, I think, unfortunately, the horns got more notoriety than the guitar. People who listen to it now go, ‘Oh, my God. Who is this guitar player?’ And he's getting more applause for what he did. He left us way, way too soon. But finally, he's getting some recognition.”

On The Chicago Transit Authority ’s legacy, Loughnane ranks it up there alongside other Chicago albums such as II , III , VII , 16 and 17 . Coincidentally, Chicago 17 is marking a special anniversary by turning 40 this year–it remains the group’s best-selling studio album with the hits “You’re the Inspiration.” “Hard Habit to Break,” “Stay the Night” and “Along Comes a Woman.”

“It definitely [a turning point] was because David Foster came in as a producer and he focused in on the tenor voice in the band,” Loughnane says of 17 . “ And he focused in on using the horns as more of an effect than you know really doing full-on brass arrangements like we had in the past. So me, Jimmy and Walt picked up other instruments and were able to get better at other instruments during that period. It was a pretty interesting time for us, but in no way did we think we were ever going to stop playing horns. If someone was attempting to get us out of the band, we weren't going to go without a problem.”

The combined success of Chicago 16 and Chicago 17 connected the band to the MTV generation after their commercial fortunes dwindled during the late ‘70s. “ 16 and 17 became like a second wave of success for us where people saw our 16th and 17th album [and] they thought those were the first and second [Chicago] albums. They were growing up during that period. And so they would say, ‘Mom and Dad, look at this!’ And then Mom and Dad would go get the albums from I to XV and say, ‘You mean these guys?’”

As for the future, Loughnane says the band is writing new music though but has no plans at the moment to put it on an album (the group’s last studio record was 2022’s Chicago XXXVIII: Born for This Moment ). Fifty-seven years into Chicago’s existence, Loughnane could have never imagined the band would endure this long amid changing trends and lineup changes (in addition to Loughnane, Lamm and Pankow, the current band configuration features singer Neil Donell, drummer Walfredo Reyes Jr, bassist Eric Baines, guitarist Tony Obrohta, keyboardist Loren Gold, percussionist Ramon Yslas and saxophonist Ray Herrmann).

“I am ecstatic that we're still able to do this for a living, says Loughnane, adding, “I would have thought we're lucky if we get one album and maybe two. That's the way we were thinking back then. There's no way to look you know this far ahead and have any idea that you would be able to do this at this level, especially.”

Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016, Chicago still garners airplay and concertgoers. The group has also generated admiration from musicians of different generations as indicated by the diverse guests on Chicago & Friends in Concert . “It's very gratifying to see that they have not only respect for their music, but we have influenced their music in some way and they felt honored to be able to come and share that with us,” says Loughnane.

‘Chicago & Friends in Concert’ will be in theaters on Thursday, April 18, and Sunday, April 21. For information on venues and showtimes, visit chicagoandfriendsintheatres.com .

About the band

In Fall of 2022, Gravitas Ventures released Chicago’s documentary “The Last Band on Stage” directed by Peter Curtis Pardini and narrated by the band’s longtime friend and actor Joe Mantegna. On March 14, 2020. Chicago is the last band playing in the U.S. as COVID lockdowns begin and “The Last Band on Stage” tells the incredible story of how the 56 year-old band survived a pandemic that stopped the world in its tracks.

“Chicago has faced many obstacles in lasting 56 years but the pandemic was possibly their greatest challenge. I’m excited for people to see the story of how they got back to the stage to continue performing,” said director Peter Curtis Pardini. “We’re excited to be bringing The Last Band on Stage to audiences worldwide. This funny and informative documentary offers an inside look at how the legendary band Chicago were able to produce content even during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Gravitas Ventures’ Acquisition Coordinator, Mackenzie Maguire.

Chicago received The Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award from the GRAMMYS. The Lifetime Achievement Award celebrates performers who have made outstanding contributions of artistic significance to the field of recording. A special award ceremony and tribute concert celebrating the honorees was held in 2020.

Chicago was inducted into the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This was their first nomination. They’ve been eligible since 1994. A long time coming!

Chicago's first album, Chicago Transit Authority , was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame in 2014.  Chicago managed to fuse pop, rock and jazz together perfectly in this double album.

Robert Lamm and James Pankow have become inductees of the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2017. These legendary songwriters wrote mega-hits such as, "25 or 6 to 4," "Saturday In The Park," "Feelin' Stronger Every Day," "Make Me Smile," and many others.

The International Trombone Association presented its 2020 Lifetime Achievement Award to James Pankow. The Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes people who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to the trombone profession over a long career.

Chicago’s lifetime achievements include two Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, Founding Artists of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a Chicago street dedicated in their honor, and keys to and proclamations from an impressive list of US cities. Record sales top the 100,000,000 mark, and include 21 Top 10 singles, 5 consecutive Number One albums, 11 Number One singles and 5 Gold singles. An incredible 25 of their 38 albums have been certified platinum, and the band has a total of 48 gold and platinum awards.

Chicago have toured every year since the beginning - they’ve never missed a year.  The original three band members are Robert Lamm on keyboards and vocals, Lee Loughnane on trumpet and vocals and James Pankow on trombone. The band line-up also includes Wally Reyes, Jr. on drums, Tony Obrohta  on guitar, Loren Gold on keyboards and vocals, Ray Herrmann on sax and flute, Neil Donell on vocals, Eric Baines on bass and Ramon "Ray" Yslas on percussion.

From the signature sound of the Chicago horns, their iconic Vocalists, and a few dozen of ever-Classic Songs, this band’s concerts are celebrations.  2023 marks the band’s 56th consecutive year of touring!

Chicago continue to be true ambassadors for their beloved hometown, carrying the city's name with pride and dignity around the world.

Things To Do

Entertainment, entertainment | what to do in chicago: devo concert, cabaret week and a self-guided tour of street murals.

Chicago Archaeopteryx : If you’ve ever struggled to explain to your child how that pigeon on your windowsill is related to ancient dinosaurs, now you can show them: The Field Museum is now home to a rare Archaeopteryx fossil , the earliest known avian dinosaur. Featuring feathers, hollow bones, a long tail and 50 teeth, the fossil is the museum’s most significant acquisition since Sue the T. rex. Its display features a hologram-like, 3D rendering of what the Archaeopteryx might have looked like when it was alive. It will be on view until the museum’s Dinopalooza on June 8. 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily through June 8 at the Field Museum, 1400 S. DuSable Lake Shore Drive; tickets $14-$30 at fieldmuseum.org

National Mural Day: Tuesday marked the official day, but there’s no expiration on appreciating free public art. Consider a self-guided tour, made all the easier by a map highlighting 20 murals in Wicker Park and Bucktown . Created by the Wicker Park Bucktown Chamber and the Special Service Area #33, the map features the “Vivan Maier Mural” by Eduardo Kobra; “I Am a Man” by Darius Dennis, Robin Alcantara, Jared Diaz and Ephraim Gebre; “Indigo Bunting Bird” by Becky Gourley; Lisa Wronski’s latest mural, and more. And if Wicker Park isn’t convenient for you, make your own map and go see some of the many other projects registered with the City of Chicago Mural Registry . 

Chicago Dogs Opening Weekend: The Chicago Dogs will face the Gary SouthShore Rail Cats during its opening weekend, kicking off a new season for the 6-year-old independent minor league team. Living up to its slogan of “baseball with everything,” Chicago Dogs will host “Barbie & Princess” Saturday, featuring fireworks. On Sunday, the team will don pink uniforms, and offer a slew of Mother’s Day promotions, including free pink hats, free hot dogs and (not free) mimosas. Pre-game catch and other family-oriented activities and discounts will be available. Home games May 10 to Aug. 29 at Impact Field, 9899 Balmoral Ave., Rosemont; tickets $9-$450 at thechicagodogs.com

“Nicole Eisenman: What Happened”: Block off a solid chunk of your weekend to linger over “What Happened,” the first major survey of Nicole Eisenman’s work, now on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art. The exhibition of some 100 works — paintings, drawing, murals and installations — from her entire career date from 1992 to today, work that makes sense of some of the least comprehensible periods of American political culture. Through Sept. 22 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 220 E. Chicago Ave.; tickets $10-$22 at mcachicago.org

“Mamma Mia!”: Yes, the ABBA musical just marked 25 years since its debut, but biggest the reason to go now is Christine Sherrill’s sublime performance as Donna: “When she sings ‘the gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice,’ there’s a darn thunderclap inside the theater,” writes the Tribune’s Chris Jones. Through May 19, Nederlander Theatre, 24 W. Randolph St.; t ickets $52.50-$137.50 at www.broadwayinchicago.com

Chicago Cabaret Week: More than 70 performers will step up to the mic at 16 intimate venues across Chicago during Chicago Cabaret week. Featuring a range of music — R&B and jazz, Broadway and burlesque, American Songbook, French chanson and world music — the festival offers 16 shows worth of entertainment. Consider performances featuring the work of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, Liza  Minnelli  and Frank Sinatra or Dolly Parton; musical tributes to Studs Terkel or Audrey Hepburn; drag options and more. May 10-19, various locations and ticket prices; more information at chicagocabaret.org

The Jacksons: The Jacksons, of Jackson Five fame with current members including Jackie and Tito, will return to their Gary roots to perform at Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana. Fans take note: The casino, which modeled its 37-foot guitar marquee on Joe Jackson’s guitar, houses 30 pieces of Jackson memorabilia. 7 p.m. May 11 at Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana, 5400 W. 29th Ave., Gary; tickets $74.50-$124.50 (ages 21+) at thejacksons.live

Craig David: British singer-songwriter and rapper Craig David stops at the Chicago Theatre on his seven-city North American Commitment Tour. Known for blending pop, R&B and U.K. garage, David has been nominated twice for Grammy Awards for male vocal performance. 8 p.m. May 13 at Chicago Theatre, 175 N. State St.; tickets $25-$50 at craigdavid.com

“Judgment Day”: You’ve seen Jason Alexander’s face plastered on buses all over town for weeks, and now word is in: “Judgment Day” is worth the trip to Navy Pier. In his Tribune review , critic Chris Jones called the show, which stars Alexander as a morally corrupt lawyer, a “gutsy and wickedly funny new satire. … Anyone with functioning arteries will laugh their socks off at some of the old-school gags.” Through May 26 in The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Navy Pier, 800 E. Grand Ave.; tickets $57-$135 at www.chicagoshakes.com
