The Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, OH. was the perfect venue for a beautiful Saturday night concert featuring Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legends, Chicago. The sold-out show was a true gift to the crowd, as they were graced with the presence of three original members from 1967, including Robert Lamm on Vocals, Keyboards & Composer, James Pankow on Trombone, Arranger & Composer, and Lee Loughnane on Trumpet. In 2017, Robert Lamm & James Pankow were also inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. With no opener, the 10-piece band played two epic sets, including 19 Top 100 singles and 8 Top five hits like If You Leave Me Now, Old Days, Hard Habit To Break, You're The Inspiration, Just You 'N' Me, Hard To Say I'm Sorry, Saturday In The Park & 25 Or 6 To 4. Although the band has seen many members come and go, one thing remains constant: whoever takes the stage must bring their A-game. Chicago's exceptional talent was on full display, as they gave it their all, thrilling the audience with their signature sound. The Rose Music Center staff provided amazing hospitality, making for a memorable night of music that won't soon be forgotten.
