Chicago - Live in Japan 1984 (Pro-Shot)

Experience a crucial moment in Chicago's legendary career with this concert at Budokan Hall in Tokyo, Japan on January 10, 1984. This performance comes just prior to the release of their hugely successful album, Chicago 17.

The setlist showcases Chicago previewing new material like "Stay The Night" from the upcoming 17 release, as well as rare performances of unreleased gems like Bill Champlin's "Sweet Marie." Along with the new songs, they also revisit classics like "25 or 6 to 4" and "Saturday in the Park."

See the incredible lineup of Peter Cetera, Danny Seraphine, Robert Lamm, Bill Champlin, James Pankow, Lee Loughnane, Walt Parazaider and Chris Pinnick in peak form. Their energy and musical chops are on full display.

This is Chicago riding high, before the release of 17 but after the major comeback success of Chicago 16 with hits like "Love Me Tomorrow," and "Hard To Say I'm Sorry/Getaway," both showcased during this show at the Budokan. It captures them at a pivotal and exciting time.
