Chicago’s ‘Live at 55’ Give Fans the Chance to Celebrate 55 Years of Hits
Chicago threw a 55th anniversary party a year ago in Atlantic City, with a little help from some friends. Now the new 'Live at 55' lets fance be part of the celebration.
Billed to Chicago& Friends, Live at 55(out Friday, Nov. 22 via Mercury Studios) captures the epic 31-song performance — filmed over two nights before 10,000 fans at Ocean Casino Resort — on a variety of video and audio formats. At both shows the current incarnation of the band was joined by guest vocalists (Chris Daughtry, Robin Thicke, Judith Hill, VoicePlay) and guitarists (Steve Vai, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram) as well as pedal steel virtuoso Robert Randolph. Loughnane is hard-pressed to identify specific favorite moments, but he notes that Vai, who’s currently touring with the King Crimson tribute band Beat, “was really well-prepared,” while Daughtry “was so good it was like a shoe-in, ‘This is gonna work great!’ kind of thing.”
