A Chicago Boost

posted by Jim on July 2, 2009 in Chicago, Shows, Songs, Taste of Chicago

It's a day later, and I'm still enjoying the after Taste Of Chicago. Your city is amazing, and I want my town of Toronto to follow your lead. The way Chicago has reinvigorated its waterfront is truly inspiring. I even saw palm trees lining a beach outside my hotel window. I'm not sure how Chicago pulled this off, but I'm all ears. The free Classical music concerts in Millennium Park has made chamber music fun again. Pizza, and Paganini in the park, what else could one ask for?

The Chicago show was a huge boost for us. The audience was completely game for us to do our rockin' best. Whether we were trying out our new stuff, or re-creating older songs, there was a willingness to go along for the ride. Since this is pretty much our maiden voyage as a four-piece, I'm never sure how some of the older songs will work, especially the songs that Steve sang with us. Ed took a flying leap, and sang What A Good Boy in the past few shows. I couldn't believe how familiar it felt to play it, and to see people in the audience sing it back at us. It revealed to me just how much that song continues to resonate with me, my band, and the fans. And if it's played with the spirit in which it was created, it allows the song to live, and grow, and reflect on experiences that Steve and Ed might never of imagined when they put it together.
