Chicago From The Viaduct


That would be Chicago playing at the Plain Dealer Pavilion in Cleveland…

I didn’t get a shot of the PDP but we took advantage of the proximity of my building to the venue to listen to the concert. Actually, if you stand where the picture was taken, you can hear the music better than if you were at the end of the Viaduct. However, at the end of the Viaduct, you can actually see the concert. Shhh, don’t tell anyone.

Now that the Viaduct is closed to cars for parking, it really has become somewhat of a park atmosphere. You can stroll down without having to worry about getting hit. Now, we have to get the people who walk their dogs to pick up their droppings.

Now, I digress… You’d have thought Chicago would have opened the concert with a classic but we didn’t even recognize the first song. I thought maybe it was an opening act. It must have been from their new album. They rolled out all of their hits during the show and came back for an encore with “26 or 6 to 4”.

Grilling, music and a beautiful night after the storms rolled away.

I’m ready for Earth, Wind & Fire next at the PDP.

This Friday at House of Blues, I’m going to see Gavin DeGraw and Marie Digby. My friend, Scott Smith, plays Flannery’s on Friday and Saturday night. Check him out if you’re in the neighborhood.

  1. OK, completely jealous you rocked out to the Chicago concert! What a view!

    BTW, I will be in the neighborhood of Flannery’s Friday night after the Indians game. I’ll check out your friend.

    And on another note, to your computer post from yesterday, I have a G4 powermac from 6 years ago. I’m convinced it’s faster than any other system I’m forced to use today. Even though it’s big and clunky and outdated, I still like the idea of a desktop comp at home too.

    Although, I’m sure I could probably use a monitor upgrade — that hunky piece of machinery takes up half my bedroom! LOL

  2. The Chicago opening song is titled appropriately enough, “Introduction” – from their first album in 1969…and it actually slips right into Questions 67 and 68, another “early” one…

  3. I love EW&F. September Rocks. I am going to see your friend Jack Johnson and my friend G. Love tomorrow night in Berlin!!! I will say hi for you!
