Chicago was one of the first groups to perform at the Kennedy Center after it opened in September 1971. That historic concert has been newly re-mixed from the original multi-track tapes by Chicago founding member and trumpeter Lee Loughnane and engineer Tim Jessup and debuts in this collection from Rhino. This 26-track 3CD live collection was recorded on September 16, 1971, about a week after the John. F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts opened in the nation's capital. For more than 50 years, the concert has remained unreleased except for the performance of 'Goodbye,' which debuted in 2018 on 'Chicago: VI Decades Live'. The show explores all three studio albums that Chicago had released since their 1969 debut. The songs span a range of styles, underscoring the band's ability to blend genres seamlessly. There are rockers ('25 Or 6 to 4' and 'I'm a Man'), ballads ('Colour My World' and 'Beginnings'), jazz-influenced tracks ('Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?'), and extended song suites ('Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon' and 'It Better End Soon').
