I saw Chicago back in the 60's at the Fillmore East. They announced
they had changed their name from "Chicago Transit Authority" to 
"Chicago". They played material off their first album and were
quite good. I didn't care for any of their later albums. The other
group on the bill that night was Frank Zappa and the Mothers.
