Chicago’s roadwork continues behind Chicago XXXII: Stone of Sisyphus, the band’s most recent studio set, which hit shelves in June 2008, fifteen years after Warner Bros. Records refused to release it. The Peter Wolf-produced album peaked at No. 122 on The Billboard 200.
The Doobie Brothers have sold over 30 million albums in the United States from the 1970s to the present. Their most recent studio effort, Sibling Rivalry, was released in 2000. The band was honored in 2004 by being inducted into The Vocal Group Hall of Fame.
Chicago and The Doobie Brothers partnered once before, on a 23-date tour in 2008. As was the case for those shows, the two bands plan to unite for several tunes during their upcoming joint outing. On the ’08 run, the bands joined forces on Chicago’s “Free,” “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?” and “25 or 6 to 4,” and The Doobie Brothers’ “Rockin’ Down the Highway” and “Listen to the Music.”

All the classic hits from the enduringly-popular group in the Arena on Friday, May 28th

Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons scored nineteen Top 10 hits starting in the 60s including “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Walk Like A Man.” Their distinctive New Jersey-bred sound survived and even flourished in the wake of the “British Invasion” of the mid-60s. Later, Valli went on to a successful solo career, singing the theme to the movie version of Grease and hitting the top of the charts with “My Eyes Adored You” and “December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night).” In 1990, the group was honored with their induction into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As evidence of the group’s staying power, a musical based on their rags-to-riches story entitled “Jersey Boys” is a Tony Award-winning smash hit on Broadway.
