Recorded at Ovation Hall at the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, Chicago & Friends: Live at 55 was produced by award-winning producer Barry Summer. Performing their greatest hits, the band is joined by some very special guests, including guitar virtuoso Steve Vai, who pays tribute to the band’s original lead guitarist, Terry Kath. Other guests include Chris Daughtry, Robert Randolph, Robin Thicke, world-renowned a cappella quintet VoicePlay, Judith Hill, and Christone “Kingfish” Ingram.

To celebrate the 55th anniversary of their groundbreaking double-Platinum debut album, Chicago Transit Authority, the band plays songs from the album, including some never-before-performed tracks. In addition to their biggest hits, the set also includes “unplugged” versions of some of Chicago’s classic tunes.
