A nice trip through the most important years for Chicago. All of the audio quality is either very good or excellent, with a mix of audience and soundboard sources. Includes a wonderful soundboard recording of Terry Kath's last show. A fitting way to end a great set. Nice touch to include a video CD with some real nice old footage.
