Album Review: Chicago & Friends - Live at 55

Even as members have cycled in and out with increasing frequency in recent years, Chicago’s setlists have remained static. So when the band recruited some friends to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the Chicago Transit Authority and pulled out such long-idled numbers as “Listen” and “In the Country” with Robert Randolph, “South California Purples” and “Poem 58” with Steve Vai and the full version of “Feelin’ Stronger Every Day” with Judith Hill, the potential was exciting.

Hearing the songs as captured over two nights in November 2023 and released as Chicago & Friends - Live at 55, however, quickly dampens the enthusiasm. For the Chicago of 2024, down to three original members in keyboardist Robert Lamm, trombonist James Pankow and trumpeter Lee Loughnane surrounded by seven recent additions, sounds more like a tribute act than the actual Chicago. And while the presence of guitarists Randolph, Vai and Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, who plays on “Make Me Smile” and a couple of other cuts, speaks to the powerful legacy of Chicago’s late co-founder Terry Kath, they are unable to help the band spark that old magic, which is available on 2024’s other live album from the band, the stupendous Chicago at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington D.C. (9/16/1971).

To make room for their guests, Chicago whittled “Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon” down to “Make Me Smile,” “Color My World” and “Now More than Ever,” making the exercise pointless. And while vocalist Chris Daughtry adds some muscle to such tracks as “I’m a Man,” Hill is an ill-fitting choice in a band that never had a female lead; VoicePlay turn “Happy Man” into something better suited for “American Idol” and Robin Thicke sounds like Lamm used to sound.

Which leaves the modern Chicago and their latest Peter Cetera stand-in, Neil Donell, whose authenticity rests mostly in his inability to hit the high notes, which, given he’s 68, is understandable. So without scaling down such songs as “Questions 67 and 68” and “Call on Me,” Chicago would be better off dropping them. And the ’80s ballads, too.
