    • Trivia
      The "Billboard" chart images used to show the positions of the various Chicago hit songs are apparently created for the documentary. They all include many songs from the late 60s and early 70s despite referring to songs that charted in the 80s.

    Great history and powerful performances, but why trash former members?
    This is a film made by the remaining members of the Chicago. The first half will thrill any Chicago fan, great live performances, the stories behind some iconic Chicago tunes, a wonderful tribute to Terry Kath, but as the movie progresses, the band felt the need to trash most former members. This is a shame because the music they made was special and while the remaining members put on a good live show, the music made since Danny, Peter and Bill left does not live up to the legacy they ALL created! I think it was very classy of Danny to be interviewed but Bill, Peter and JWC have all been conspicuously absent from the band recently and it says a LOT that they refused to participate in the film.

    Like the band's musical legacy, the first half of the film is a solid 10, the second half, is a lackluster 2.
