Peter Cetera | Live in Salt Lake City poster

Live in Salt Lake City: The Essential Collection by Peter Cetera was released Dec 14, 2004 on the Brilliant label. On paper, the meeting between Chicago frontman Peter Cetera and a symphony orchestra would raise eyebrows. Live in Salt Lake City: The Essential Collection In reality, it scored big time. Live in Salt Lake City: The Essential Collection On this 2004 live set, Cetera nails some of his and Chicago's greatest hits, including "If You Leave Me Now," "You're The Inspiration," "Hard To Say I'm Sorry," "25 Or 6 To 4," and 17 more. To say this is "The Essential Collection" -- the definitive and most thorough overview of Cetera's brilliant career as a soft rock craftsman of the highest order -- is a highly misleading suggestion, especially as this disc was recorded live in Salt Lake City. Live in Salt Lake City: The Essential Collection contains a single disc with 21 songs.

Believe it or not, there almost was a feature film about the 1969 Texas International Pop Festival which, just like the one-and-only Woodstock concerts held two weeks earlier, had its entirety preserved both on film and reel-to-reel tape. However, unlike the legendary documentation of the New York festivities that dominated big screens worldwide the following summer, the Lone Star State’s contribution to classic-rock cinema never made it past the very-rough-cut stage. Thankfully, though, this feature- length “workprint” of the film is now available for a fantastic peek at what might have been.

Chicago | The Heart of Chicago: The Video (1982-1991) poster
NR

This DVD recorded all of Chicago's music videos between 1982 and 1991. As much as announcing it right now, we do not have to do here at the best time in the group. Beautiful years are already far away and improvisations have given way to nullical pieces too typed 80. What about this hollow production or the battery sounds like a saucepan and where the synths with such clinical sounds take all the place? What about these clips so old school supposed to tell something? Nothing more. It is also regrettable that the pieces are not commented on. However, it is always interesting to have the point of view of the musicians over a period that has not had to be easy for the life of the band.
