	Nice 3D drawing by Fuding Cheng of Carnegie Hall included   Ginormous poster

Note: Recorded at Carnegie Hall, April 5-10, 1971.
All of the three previous albums live plus one new song!
As James Pankow said: "I hate it. The acoustics of Carnegie Hall were never meant for amplified music, and the sound
of the brass after being miked came out sounding like kazoos." 

 ➜ Live: 4/5-10, Carnegie Hall; released 2021: Chicago Live At Carnegie Hall Complete 16-CDs!

Questions 67 And 68³ / I'm A Man³ Lamm (3:25) / Miller-Winwood (3:27) Columbia 4-45467, 9/71 BB reissue of 1st single with new (old) b-side

Chicago plodded on, even with Kath's accidental suicide in 1978. Double album after double album released year after year. Sounds monotonous—it was—and made millions.
