Title: Chances of a Beachago tour? Post by: Marty Castillo on November 25, 2015, 10:02:17 AM I just noticed that Chicago and Earth Wind Fire will be playing a series of arena shows in February, March and April 2016. Without having the In Concert book handy, I believe the last joint tour was November 1997. Which got me thinking, what are the chances of another Beachago tour?

Without Carl Wilson, I would think it would be extremely surprising to see another Beachago tour. Title: Re: Chances of a Beachago tour?

If Jardine and Cetera were to rejoin their respective groups, maybe.

Title: Re: Chances of a Beachago tour? Post by: drummer083 on November 27, 2015, 10:57:00 AM Chicago should be put out to pasture. I saw them and EW&F at the Borgata a few years ago, and it was the worst performance I've ever seen or heard by a major band, and that includes the Beach Boys Queen Mary show from '81. The guy that covers the Peter Cetera parts was by far the worst offender, and to make matter worse, they played way too many of their horrid '80s songs and not enough of the stuff people were there to see. Please, for God's sake, under no circumstances should this be allowed to happen.
As a side note, EW&F were burning on all cylinders and were note perfect. The contrast between the performances of the two bands was startling. Title: Re: Chances of a Beachago tour?

Please, for God's sake, under no circumstances should this be allowed to happen. Somehow, I am not surprised. Never was impressed with Jason Scheff as a singer. I imagine EW&F still has their principal singers and players. As a side note, EW&F were burning on all cylinders and were note perfect.

ly the worst performance I've ever seen by them, or any major band for that matter, so Chicago had to be REALLY BAD! Title: Re: Chances of a Beachago tour?

The contrast between the performances of the two bands was startling. Saw Chicago a couple of times in the last few years. Could not disagree more. I thought they rocked the whole show. Lamm is still a tremendous vocalist and while Jason Scheff is not Peter Cetera or Terry Kath, I don't think he is bad. As a group, I think they are tremendous, still. ;) |
