CTA became simply Chicago after the Chicago Transit Authority made threats to the band about the name....and all the band would have done is make the CTA more known....hard to believe a government run entity would be stupid.
Just an old fans memory lane. Chicago bands from the sixties...
We had a couple of places in Eastern Iowa that often had bands from Chicago. If any remember, The New Colony Six, Buckinghams, Cryin Shames, American Breed...and there were others I am likely forgetting. Even though I was from Iowa City, Chicago had very big influence on my early music history....including and especially WLS......."the big 89".

I was lucky enough to see them live do G.L.O.R.I.A. The little venue was in Swisher, Iowa...I believe it was called "DanceMor Ballroom" I did see Chicago both before and after Peter starting singing lead. But of course, does anybody really know what time it is, and that is assuming you can find someone that really cares. |
dweller I don’t know if Flo & Eddie (the Turtles) had a Chicago connection or not. I did see them live twice and both times were good music but also fun....they had a good sense of humor. Flo & Eddie - Wikipedia |
jacahn Yes, I love my times spent on Navy Pier. A friend owns a condo in Lake Point Tower which allowed easy access to events on Navy Pier and to the Gold Coast. Many of my favorite places for a great meal are in Chicago....and super "night spots". |
