Between 5 and 10 April 1971 Chicago performed eight shows at the iconic Carnegie Hall in New York. All eight shows were recorded and compiled down to the four disc live album released on October 1971.
Now for the first time, all eight shows will be released in their entirety as a 16 disc box set.
Chicago played at Carnegie Hall following the release of their third album ‘Chicago III’. The live record became their fourth album. The band members were often critical of the album over the years. They were the first rock band to play Carnegie Hall and later thought the acoustics did not suit amplified music.
The new edition of the album includes the previously unheard first songs from the first show, “Someday (August 29, 1968).
Chicago Live At Carnegie Hall will be released on 16 July 2021.
