thanks to KillerRips, thanks to all friends Chicago - 1971 At Carnegie Hall, Vol. 1-4 (Chicago IV) [LIVE] 2005 ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED. bonus tracks Chicago At Carnegie Hall - The Way It Was Meant To Be., August 23, 2005 Reviewer: Louie Bourland (garden grove, ca United States) The wait is finally over. Chicago's legendary four-album document of their sold-out week at Carnegie Hall is at last, reissued and remastered. In addition to the material that was included on the original 1971 album, there is a complete disc of unreleased material from the concerts as well as the original packaging and replicas of the original posters and booklet which came with the LP. Granted, THIS is the ultimate reissue of this classic live album. As for the music itself, it is full of the raw energy that made Chicago so great during its early days. Instead of the short snappy pop songs and romantic ballads, you get extended jam-band cuts such as "In The Country", "South California Purples", "Sing A Mean Tune Kid" and "It Better End Soon". Additionally, there are stellar renditions of "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" (complete with a six-minute 'Free Form Intro' from Mr. Chops, Robert Lamm), "Questions 67 and 68", "25 or 6 to 4", "Beginnings" and the band's plea for Nixon's resignation, "A Song For Richard and His Friends". All seven of Chicago's original band members are given due time in the spotlight and are full of the energy and vigour of an excited young band during their first shot of fame. Terry Kath's extended guitar solos on the aforementioned "Purples" and "Sing A Mean Tune Kid" are some of his best guitar solos on record full of freedom and endless invention. As for the bonus material, there are tunes which were not released on the original "Carnegie Hall" album as well as alternate performances of several tracks on the original album. The "Naseltones" free form intro included here is another Robert Lamm piano improvisation which goes into a boogie motiff that has a slight hint of Dave Brubeck in its groove. In addition, "Listen" and Terry Kath's "Hour In The Shower" are rock solid and are worthy additions to the original album. Hands down, this is an awesome trip down memory lane for those who were there to remember it, those who bought the album when it originally was released and those who discovered it years later and couldn't get enough of it. This is the early Chicago in their prime as they used to be. Hats off to Chicago and Rhino Records for such a stellar reissue of this classic concert. On a personal note: I saw Chicago in concert in 1991 and to be honest, they were absolutely horrible. It was the worst concert I've ever attended. This Carngegie Hall concert beats the heck out of that 1991 concert by a huge longshot. It could have been better, but...., March 28, 2006 Reviewer: PJ-Recovering Musician "Patrick" (Connecticut) I can still remember when I first brought this 4 disc LP home. I tore off the cellophane and popped record one on my trusty Dual turntable. I had already heard Chicago perform live 5 or 6 times and I thought I knew what to expect. After all, they could ROCK! Were my expectations correct? No! Although the performance was by and large a success, the recording was a flat out disaster--or so I thought. I also believed that the recording engineers, mixers, producers, et al, should never be allowed to work again. Ah,to be young. Looking back at it now though, I have realized that the recording was about as close to "state of the art" as could be hoped for. (Although that said, the "Live in Japan" album is a much better sounding record). The concerts themselves were about as accurate a reflection of what a Chicago concert was all about at the time. Wild, raw, full of energy and passion. Some stunning solos. And a new piece was introduced on the album "A song for Richard and his friends" As Robert Lamm says, it is a song about "Wishing President Nixon would quit". That would happen soon enough. Who knows, maybe we now need a song about our current President. Anyway, this is a classic period piece. I would not recomend it to anyone as an introduction to Chicago, but if you are a fan, this is a must have. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!, February 7, 2006 Reviewer: NYC Music Lover (New York, NY United States) People who know Chicago from their soft-rock hits like "You're The Inspiration" or "Old Days" will be surprised to discover that in the beginning they were an "underground" band, just as likely to be played on "free form" FM stations as AM Hit Radio back in the Early 70s. This amazing document of their week-long engagement at Carnegie Hall in 1971 shows the group at peak of their creativity in that first, prolific, musically great period. Yes, there are some very long jams, and a lot more blazing guitar solos than the "If You Leave Me Now" fans would expect, but it is done with such creativity, passion and sense of FUN that it gives one pause. I for one prefer their earlier phase, when they actually had things to say and were not chained to record company hit-making policy. Suffice it to say that on this collection the group plays with a vengeance. Robert Lamm's vocals and keyboard playing are sublime; Peter Cetera sounds more committed and ROCKING than he ever would again; the horns are just fantastic; Terry Kath is on FIRE!! Yes, there are a few ragged spots and the sound is not as good as in a studio, but the overall impression one gets is of an era where music really meant something! I had the multi-LP set back when it was originally released. I loved it then, and I love it now! Well worth your time and money if you want to hear a great group before they became Peter Cetera's backup band (and then, even worse). "Chicago At Carnegie Hall" gets an A+ from this listener! |
