As noted in other reviews, this DVD, which features a live performance of the supergroup Chicago that aired on PBS, is recommended highly over their other live DVD, "Live by Request" which was shown on A&E. The less-than-excellent sound and visual editing on the A&E disc has been corrected on the Soundstage production and makes this DVD a worthy document of one of the great rock bands of all time. The vocals are tight and well mixed and the horns, those all-time great horns, sound fat and up front in the mix. The video editing is crisp and professional. The selection of songs finds a nice, if not usual, set of hits, blending ballads and rockers that display this group's eclectic abilities. Highlights include a blazing version of "I'm a Man" from the band's very first album, "Chicago Transit Authority". In this rendition, they've added a horn part to this tune-that-has-no-horns and the group simply, cooks. "Free" is another upbeat rocker that is given excellent treatment in this set. Original founding member Robert Lamm is especially good on this DVD, with pop evergreens, "Beginnings" and "Saturday in the Park" sounding as fresh as if they were written yesterday, not 30 or more years ago. This DVD, "Soundstage Presents Chicago-Live in Concert" is highly recommended for all Chicago fans and all fans of popular music.
