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!

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. |
