Now More than Ever: The History of Chicago

This DVD recorded all of Chicago's music videos between 1982 and 1991. As much as announcing it right now, we do not have to do here at the best time in the group. Beautiful years are already far away and improvisations have given way to nullical pieces too typed 80. What about this hollow production or the battery sounds like a saucepan and where the synths with such clinical sounds take all the place? What about these clips so old school supposed to tell something? Nothing more. It is also regrettable that the pieces are not commented on. However, it is always interesting to have the point of view of the musicians over a period that has not had to be easy for the life of the band.
