Chicago gave a perfectly poised professional performance at SPAC Sunday night. I don't mean to damn them with faint praise.
Chicago launched their co-headlining tour with Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys at Ak-Chin Pavilion in Phoenix on Tuesday, June 7, the same day the horn-driven rockers announced the release of a 38th studio album called "Born For This Moment."
They played all the big hits and included outtakes and alternates versions from the underrated Sunflower and Surfs Up albums of the early seventies that many rank as their best and last stab at greatness, at least before they turned into an oldies act after the success of the Endless Summer compilation in 1974.
And I had that experience with Brian Wilson in . . . the summer of 1978. Brian's performance this summer with his fabulous backup band, Wondermints, and former Beach Boys bandmates Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin was in many ways similar, but also utterly different.
