Decades Rock Live, the critically acclaimed and award-winning concert TV experience that features legendary bands performing with today’s hottest artists, is back in production and kicking off a new installment of specials with “Chicago & Friends.” Set for Friday, November 17th and Saturday, November 18th at Ovation Hall at the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, NJ, these shows are being filmed on a custom-built LED stage set with over 30 4k cameras for global distribution airing in late December. Full distribution info will be announced in the coming weeks.

Chicago has partnered with award-winning producer, Decades series creator and co-founder of FanTracks, Barry Summers, to create an exclusive Chicago show unlike any other show they’ve ever performed on tour. They’ll perform their greatest hits with some very special guests, including guitar virtuoso Steve Vai paying tribute to the band’s original lead guitarist, Terry Kath with Robin Thicke, Chris Daughtry, and other guest singers to be announced soon.

The Chicago-themed weekend at Ocean Casino Resort will include a special Decades VIP Party, exclusive VIP Packages, exclusive merchandise, and on Saturday, November 18th there will be a VIP Champagne Brunch.

To celebrate the 55th anniversary of Chicago’s groundbreaking double-Platinum debut album, Chicago Transit Authority, the band will perform songs from the album both nights, including never-before-performed songs from the classic album along with the band’s greatest hits. The band will also perform some of their classics unplugged during both shows.

“We’re looking forward to working with Barry Summers, our producer on this concert film, and celebrating Chicago’s 55th anniversary of our debut album, Chicago Transit Authority, with our fans in Atlantic City that will be filmed over two nights,” says co-founder/singer/composer/keyboardist Robert Lamm. “We’ll be performing a set list of songs exclusively for these two shows, and we’re very excited to be performing with some special guests, all captured on film.”
