Chicago had a vibrant music scene in the 60's, and the top hits flowing from it illuminated radios and turntables everywhere in the USA. The Cornerstones Of Rock celebrate those great songs with the original artists live onstage. The tour includes The Ides Of March, The Buckinghams, The Cryan’ Shames, and The New Colony Six with Ronnie Rice. The concert, as seen on the nationwide PBS-TV special "American Garage:The Cornerstones Of Rock" is a non-stop cavalcade of hits, as seen on TV shows like "Ed Sullivan", "American Bandstand" and others.
Remember "Vehicle", "Kind Of A Drag", "Sugar and Spice", and "I Will Always Think About You"? Of course you do! You'll hear all these hits and more-played by the original artists you loved in the sixties.
