  • PETER CETERA – Berlin, 07
    PETER CETERA – Berlin, 07. November 2018 – Verti Music Hall Text und Fotos: Holger Ott Vielleicht wird der Name PETER CETERA nicht jedem geläufig sein. Nennt man ihn aber im Zusammenhang mit seiner Ex- Band CHICAGO und hört man seine Songs, so dämmert es mit Sicherheit gewaltig. In den Siebzigern und Achtzigern war seine markante Stimme aus den Radios nicht wegzudenken und es jagte ein Nummer eins Hit den Nächsten. Heute gastiert er mit seinem Best Of Programm in der Verti Music Hall in Berlin. Wie wir vor einigen Tagen bereits feststellen konnten, hat diese neue Halle eine sensationelle Akustik. Gerade Künstlern wie CETERA kommt dieser Umstand sehr zugute, deshalb richte ich mich auf einen angenehmen und entspannten Abend ein. Die Setliste verrät mir, dass er aus den Vollen seiner Zeit bei CHICAGO schöpft. Zwei Drittel stammen aus dieser Epoche, der Rest besteht aus Kompositionen seiner Solo Karriere und Musik, die seinen Begleitmusikern am Herzen liegt. Diese dürfen sich dann auch in den jeweiligen Songs beweisen. Kleine Soli der jeweiligen Protagonisten, die aber nicht zu ausufernd sind, lockern das Programm zusätzlich auf. Herausragend dabei, seine Percussionistin, Background- Sängerin und Duettpartnerin aus Kanada. Die Dame hat eine umwerfende Stimme und hat ihren ersten Auftritt, als das CHER/CETERA-Cover "After All" angestimmt wird. PETER CETERA präsentiert sich als angenehmer, smarter Unterhalter und gibt zwischen seinen Gesangsdarbietungen immer wieder interessante Geschichten zum Besten, die sich weitestgehend um die Entstehung der Songs handeln. Manche etwas langatmig und bestimmt für viele im Saal mangels fehlender Englischkentnissen nur zum Teil zu verstehen. Seine Band, bestehend aus sieben Musikern und Musikerinnen, haben sich allesamt in Nashville einen Namen gemacht, in dem sie als Studiomusiker viele bekannte Produktionen begleitet haben.

  • Legendary American Rock Band Chicago to Perform Live with Charlotte Symphony One Night Only: 8 Pm Sat, Sept 21 at Belk Theater
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jamie Wolf, 704-714-5112 or [email protected] LEGENDARY AMERICAN ROCK BAND CHICAGO TO PERFORM LIVE WITH CHARLOTTE SYMPHONY ONE NIGHT ONLY: 8 PM SAT, SEPT 21 AT BELK THEATER August 21, 2013 | CHARLOTTE, NC - Chicago—one of the most successful rock groups in history—is bringing its powerful live show to open the Charlotte Symphony's Pops Series this fall. From the signature sound of the Chicago horns, their iconic vocalists and a few dozen ever-classic songs, this band’s concerts are celebrations! The band line-up includes original Chicago members Robert Lamm on keyboards and vocals, Lee Loughnane on trumpet, James Pankow on trombone and Walt Parazaider on woodwinds. Other members are Jason Scheff on bass and vocals, drummer Tris Imboden, guitarist Keith Howla, Lou Pardini on keyboards and vocals and Wally Reyes on percussion. Symphony-goers may find this interesting: original member Parazaider, a De Paul University graduate, was offered a spot with the Chicago Symphony in the early years but opted to stick with the band instead. The “legendary rock and roll band with horns,” Chicago is the first American rock band to chart Top 40 albums in six consecutive decades. In Billboard Magazine's list of Top 100 artists of all time, Chicago came in at #13, the highest charting American band, having produced an incredible 47 gold and platinum records. Most recently, in March of 2013, Chicago’s multi-platinum two-disc bestseller, The Very Best Of Chicago, Only The Beginning charted at #1 on two Billboard charts: the Catalog Chart and the Digital Catalog chart.

  • “The Big Thing “The Chicago Transit Authority Band Formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois
    The Story: Originally named “The Big Thing “The Chicago Transit Authority band formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. After their first album they change the name to simply “Chicago”. The self-described "rock and roll band with horns" began as a politically charged, sometimes experimental, rock band and later moved to a predominantly softer sound, generating several hit ballads. The group had a steady stream of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Since at least 2008, Billboard has shown Chicago to be the "greatest of all time" American band in singles chart success, and since 2015, the "greatest of all time" American band in album chart success as well. Chicago is one of the longest-running and most successful rock groups, and one of the world's best-selling groups of all time, having sold more than 100 million records. According to Billboard, Chicago was the leading U.S. singles charting group during the 1970s. They have sold over 40 million units in the U.S., with 23 gold, 18 platinum, and 8 multi-platinum albums. Over the course of their career they have had five number-one albums and 21 top-ten singles. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 8, 2016 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Original band members Peter Cetera, Robert Lamm, and James Pankow are among the 2017 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductees for their songwriting efforts as members of the music group, Chicago. Now, Chicago Tribute Experience brings you back to the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s with all of Chicago’s greatest hits performed live by some of the world’s finest musicians.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
