Just an old fans memory lane. Chicago bands from the sixties...

AHJ was 70’s
So was Styx
Siegel-Schwall were 60’s
A Lincon Ave. fixture.
Saw Corky & Jim in Galesburg
Shadows of Knight were from Prospect High in Mt. Prospect -The Knights
They were house band in my grade school cafeteria.
They headlined the Gilbert’s Festival with backup by REO Speedwagon from Chambana.
Fireworks, acid, rain and $1 Boone’s Farm bottles.
All good.

Rolling Stones at Chess.

I saw Peterick with Smokey Robinson at a NARAS songwritrig seminar in Streeterville Studios.

 Were the Turtles a Chicago band?
@whatjd - Used to eat at Greektown while attending U of I.
Would go late (close to closing) and they would put extra
on your plate instead of throwing it away.
I hear Greektown has pretty much disappeared these days.
Worked with a fellow who claimed he was the first bass player with the Cryan Shames before they made it big. I believe his first name was Mike.
Worked with him in 'Vegas -TSA at the airport.

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.

How about Chicago Transit Authority I loved the CTA album very well recorded, it still finds its way onto the tt all these years later.

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.
