Now More Than Ever: The History of Chicago (2016)
Not Rated
Starring: Chicago
Directed by Peter Pardini
The Story:
The band you know. The story you don't. Follow their history from their creation in 1967 (!!) until their long overdue induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's a nearly career defining retrospective, warts and all.
I would imagine that for most casual fans of Chicago, you know the band, you know the logo, but likely aside from Peter Cetera, you probably don't know their names.
The documentary will help erase that and give them their due as one of the longest tenured rock bands still performing today.
Naturally, as with most rock bands, it wasn't all sunshine and roses, and the biggest piece missing from this documentary is the inclusion of Peter Cetera.
However, that's not for a lack of trying.
Whatever beef he's got with the band, he's not letting go, which is a shame.
He was a huge part of their success in the 80s, though producer David Foster will happily let you know it was all him. :)
This documentary is currently streaming on Netflix.
Final Grade: B+
