1960s - #4: Just about a month after Woodstock, and 2 weeks after Texas Pop, Toronto got into the act, hosting its own rock festival on September 13, 1969. 52 years ago today. Chicago, still known at the time as the Chicago Transit Authority, was one of the festival.s opening acts, as captured in this soundboard recording. The band had released their self titled debut album, which featured such tunes as Beginnings and Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? just a few months earlier. Chicago was a bit overshadowed, however, at the festival by some of the other acts invited. For example, The Doors, who closed the festival, went on stage at about 2 am, and were the only band that refused to be filmed for a documentary called Sweet Toronto. In addition, during Alice Cooper's set, a live chciken was thrown on stage, the hurled back into the crowd, generating stories that Cooper bit the chciken;s head off and that the audience tore the bird to pieces. Moreover, John Lennon and The Plastic One Band played a set, with Eric Clapton on guitar. Yoko was so unpopular at the time that her performance was met with a hail of boo's! The subsequent album that Lennon released, called Live Peace in Toronto 1969, was the first live album released by any Beatle, either as a group or separately.

Hi Speedy - Just tried to download this show and got a "Internal Server Error" message. Thanks
Might be a workupload issue - I just posted a zippyshare link- see if this works better
Zippyshare dl worked perfectly - thanks a lot Speedy!!
It's been a while Speedy. Thank you for some early Chicago. Their 1st two albums, as well as Terry Kath, were very underrated!!
The rhythm section and vocals really shine! Too bad the horn section's mics were dead, or were not fed into the recorder's lines of the mixer. Thanks for sharing!
Kath's solo on 25 Or 6 To 4 is straight up sick! Thanks Sppedy!
