Chicago has been rocking through the decades for more than 50 years at this point in their career, and as those who’ve seen the band live already know, they’re a force to be reckoned with. If you’ve never had the pleasure, however, you can get a pretty good idea of what it’s like by picking up a copy of the band’s new live anthology, CHICAGO: VI DECADES LIVE (THIS IS WHAT WE DO). The first two discs are dedicated to Chicago's headlining performance at the Isle of Wight Festival on August 28, 1970. It's a snapshot of the band on the verge of superstardom and captures them in top form, playing songs from their first two albums - "Beginnings" and "Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon" - as well as "Mother" from their third album, which was unreleased at the time. The other two headliners on this 3-day festival were The Doors and Jimi Hendrix.
