It has been 47 years<br />

since Chicago first graced<br />

Ravinia with a performance<br />

and though they’ve<br />

gone through multiple personnel<br />

changes since then,<br />

they still rocked the audience’s<br />

socks off.<br />

On Aug. 10 the pavillion<br />

at Ravinia Festival<br />

was filled up with fans to<br />

see the band as well as the<br />

more than 10,000 people<br />

on the lawn.<br />

With up to 15 people on<br />

stage during some songs<br />

and countless logos in<br />

the background, the band<br />

played as many of their<br />

classics as they could in<br />

the two-and-a-half hour<br />

long show. They surprised<br />

the audience by playing an<br />

entire side of “Chicago II”<br />

Three of the founding<br />

members, Robert<br />

Lamm, Lee Loughnane<br />

and James Pankow, were<br />

joined by seven other<br />

bandmates to create the<br />

nostalgic Chicago sound.<br />

The band paid tribute to<br />

• Old Days<br />

• Hard Habit to Break<br />

• You’re the Inspiration<br />

• I’m a Man (The<br />

Spencer Davis Group<br />

cover)<br />

their roots by showing<br />

a slideshow during the<br />

performance of pictures<br />

from when they were<br />

starting out in 1967.<br />

One of the most notable<br />

parts of the concert<br />

was when drummer and<br />

percussionist Walfredo<br />

Lee Loughnane, trumpet player for Chicago and one of<br />

the band’s co-founders, performs at Ravinia.<br />

Reyes Jr. and Ramon Yslas<br />

cranked out a solo. The<br />

pair switched drum sets<br />

in the middle of the solo<br />

without missing a single<br />

beat.<br />

Chicago ended their<br />

encore with the exciting<br />

“25 or 6 to 4”, which had<br />

people who started walking<br />

out stop in their tracks<br />

and turn around.<br />
