Chicago's Carnegie Hall Live Album gets 50th Anniversary Release

- Dear Reader, we have a new website! If you want to check it out, you can click here: 1969 Inc. Enjoy the article! -

In 1971, the rock band Chicago performed a string of concerts at Carnegie Hall. Between April 5th and 10th they played 8 shows and sold out every single one. That made them the first rock band to sell out Carnegie Hall for a week straight. 

The eight shows were recorded and the best parts were put into a quadruple vinyl album that was comprised of songs from the bands first three albums and was 2 hours and 45 minutes long! The album reached the #3 spot on the Billboard charts. It was also the band's best selling live album and went platinum. 

Now, 50 years later, the live album is getting a massive deluxe 50th anniversary version that includes a lot of material. The new box set will contain a whopping total of 16 CDs and will have remastered versions of the recordings of all eight of the shows that they played at Carnegie Hall. The recordings have all been remastered and are high quality versions perfect for stereo listening. 

The set will also contain some awesome Chicago memorabilia that you can only get in the new box set. It will have replica posters from the original Chicago show as well as excerpts from the original concert programs. To add to this, there will also be a 28 page picture book included with original pictures of the band and the shows. 


The box set will be released on July 16th of 2021 and will available to purchase on Chicago's website as well as in stores. They have said that the box set will be a limited edition version as it is a 50th anniversary and will only be offered this year.

Thank you! - In and around 2000, the Eagles played a number of concerts in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. These concerts were recorded and put together as the Millennium Concert Collection. This collection has been included in a few other releases but has never been offered on its own and was never offered before on vinyl.  The Millennium Concert is being offered as a single vinyl album that consists of 12 tracks, which are shown below. The album features a number of live versions of fan favorites such as 'Hotel California' and 'Peaceful Easy Feeling'.  This album is quite special for a few reasons though the main one being that this was the last time that the Eagles played all together as a united group. This recording features Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schm...

Beginnings: The Ferrari 328

Beginnings: This is the beginning of something beautiful. It is the start of a new community for those who love the art and design of the past and all it has to offer. The cars, the art, the music, and all the vintage design that you could ever want. I have always been interested in the past, specifically in the designs. The cars were beautiful and loud, or elegant and smooth. Then there was the music, there was the Rock and Roll, the Blues, the Jazz, and so much more! The art is always a thing of absolute beauty and it can take the imagination to places so stunning and wild that you may never want to return. So, in this community, we will cherish all that is vintage and take a moment to tell the stories of the past. The year 1969 was chosen for an obvious reason.

However, if asked to chose one such year that brought together a culmination of the best of all of these things, many would quickly offer up t...

Eagles by The Eagles: Album Review

Author's Note: This is a note that was written after this post was written: I apologize that this article is kind of all over the place. I am still learning how to write about music and bands. Thank you for reading and all feedback is accepted! Just let me know what you think in the comments! The Band: As far as classic rock albums go, this one is by far the most popular! Eagles is an album by the band The Eagles, which is a little egotistical, and is one of the best rock albums, and best albums, of all time. The Eagles were a rock band in the 1970s and a wildly popular one at that. This album was arguably their best album and defined a whole genre of rock and roll for the next 20 years after its release. In this review I will talk about the band, the album, and then go over some of the music on the album! So, without further ado, let's talk about The Eagles! The Eagles are a true American rock band. They were formed in Los Angeles in 1971, just a year before the release of the...
