Recorded during Chicago’s historic April 1971 performances at Carnegie Hall, this album captures the band when its signature combination of rock, jazz, brass, and extended live arrangements was in full force. The sprawling four-record Chicago at Carnegie Hall set documented several nights of performances, and this final side brings together A Song for Richard and His Friends, the enduring 25 or 6 to 4, and an extended performance of I’m a Man.
This original vinyl has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork with a detailed hand-painted mandala in olive and lime greens, cream, caramel, and warm gold. The original Columbia center label remains visible, preserving the identity of the live recording while the surrounding pattern gives the record a completely new life as visual art.
For someone who remembers Chicago’s horn-driven early years, loves classic live albums, or has a personal connection to 25 or 6 to 4, this piece turns a piece of 1970s concert history into artwork meant to stay on display.
