Watch: Now More than Ever: The History of Chicago 2016 123movies, Full Movie Online – A profile of the rock band Chicago – originally called the Chicago Transit Authority – from their inception in 1967 to present day is presented. Constants over the entire course of their existence are wanting to be comprised of the best musicians, initially all from their native Chicago (hence the name), and the democracy of sorts which ruled the way they operate as a group. That democracy meant that no one person was ever to be known as the front man, each band member was treated equally – which further meant that the contributions of each person was considered of and treated as equal value even if it didn’t meet the sensibility of some – and each band member was meant to contribute to the best of his ability. After the struggles of being a club band to their initial success finally able to crack airplay on AM radio, they became known as the rare breed of a horn band i.e. that equally featured the horn section unlike most bands of the era solely featuring guitars and/or keyboards. That success and their chosen isolation in living together on a ranch in Colorado had its downside in having easy access to and thus overindulgence to substances, legal and illegal, without any oversight. That success also took a hit during the disco era. The change in focus during the early 1980s in what may be considered the David Foster produced ballad era of the band, it which favored the mentality of Peter Cetera who was then one of its more insecure members, arguably had the potential to derail the band altogether despite their success in this ballad-laden focus as the horn section was often excluded in their recordings. The effects of loss of founding members, guitarist Terry Kath who died in 1978 from an accidental self-inflicted gunshot (which band members agree was the darkest day in the band’s history), bassist Cetera who left voluntarily in the mid-1980s in his overall dissatisfaction, and drummer Danny Seraphine who was fired for his lack of focus especially during live performances, are individually discussed. As an epilogue, the four founding members still with the band speculate what will happen to their relationship in the inevitable end of the band as a unit..
Plot: The history of legendary rock band Chicago is chronicled from their inception in 1967 all the way to the present.

Not perfect, but perfection probably impossible
I was happy for the forthrightness of all those who participated in this. Sad that Donnie Dacus, Bill Champlin, and Peter Cetera decided not to be part of it. I think their honest recollections and opinions would have been portrayed (the guys don’t hold back on talking about reckless behavior and squabbles, and David Foster’s ego is not tempered one bit). The best part was the proper due given to Chris Pinnick. I did not know his tenure lasted beyond the making of the 14th album. Great. But not a word – not one single word – about Laudir de Oliveira. He was a fulltime band member from ’75 to ’82, and even participated in the studio for a couple of years before attaining that status. Sad to say he passed away about six months ago, only the second Chicago member to be gone. I know there’s only so much time in a documentary, and only so many things to be covered, but come on – he was a full-on band mate and should have his due.

For those unfamiliar with the band
I can see where some of those familiar with the history of the band Chicago might take issue with how the documentary was presented. While most of the documentary seemed reasonably accurate, there were a few of the stories that didn’t seem to jibe with what I remember. Specifically the departure of drummer Danny Seraphine.

For those unfamiliar with Chicago, this documentary is useful for bringing those viewers up to speed. From their beginning to their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, viewers are able to get an idea how the band has evolved over the last 50 years.

I would highly recommend this documentary to anyone who wants to know who the band Chicago is.
