We went with neighbors last night, sitting 4th row from stage. Looked that Savannah was sold out. SO agree - the BEST music/tribute ever! I'm born/raised in Chicago, but still - such wonderful music.
Trivia - the band's original name was 'Chicago Transit Authority', but the CTA sued them, and they shortened. This tribute band, "Beginnings" has been touring since 2002, and from NY.

What a night last night - 8 piece band, like the original. The 4-piece brass section was simply perfect and had such high energy. Instrumentation was spot-on, and vocals were quite good. Yes the place was rockin'. They played all the Chicago hits - tons of them - even had an original band member there for a few selections, a guitarist.

We have been to quite a few Tribute band performances since becoming TVrs - this was by far, the best. They only had one performance but glad they were there - and yes, as the OP said - if they come back we would definitely come back too.
