A capacity crowd was treated to a smokin’ night of hit after hit when Chicago, the legendary “rock & roll band with horns,” stormed the AMT stage on May 28. Lancaster Intelligencer Journal/New Era reviewer, P.J. Reilly, said “It’s all about the horns, baby.” He wasn’t kidding!
The night before, the band was featured on the finale of American Idol. Chicago fan Leah Kithcart won an opportunity to sing on stage with the band as part of a Chicago/American Cancer Society fundraiser.
At the end of their regular set, the packed house clapped and cheered for more, and Chicago gave them what they wanted, coming back to the stage for two terrific encores.
