Now More Than Ever: The History of Chicago

I found this to be nothing more than 2 hours of relentless slandering of former band mates who’s name isn't Terry. Those that declined to participate were wise after seeing how petty and vindictive their former “brothers” still are. To his credit, Peter Cetera took the high road declining both this crockumentary as well as the RRHOF. Perhaps someday both he and Danny can write their own documentary to right a few wrongs that accompanied this garbage.

It would have had a lot more credibility if it wasn't produced by someone in the keyboard players family. As usual, the band is quick to only credit the horns players, Bobby Lamm, and the late, great Terry Kath with being most responsible for the bands success. Forgetting that they actually had one of the best drummers and tenor singing bass players walking the face of the earth at that time. They speak with such distain for the David Foster/Peter Cetera era, yet probably would not be working today had the two of them totally revived the band with their songwriting and Peter's singing. For anyone who appreciates both the 80's and 70's eras of Chicago's music, I would not recommend this.

This documentary is just fine up until the departure of co-founder Danny Seraphine. That's when the remaining originals give their side of "history." The way Danny and long-time member Bill Champlin are treated is shameful. Robert and the three horn players tell a good story here, but it's an incomplete history of this incredible American band.

This is an excellent documentary about Chicago and comes highly recommended to anyone who is a fan of the band as well as those who know nothing about them. I didn't know anything about the band before seeing this film and I feel like I know who they are as people now. Those who know the story already will be able to see the way the band members felt every step of the way through their 50 year history.

This "current line-up of the once great band CHICAGO" approved and financed documentary is a total hatchet job of Denny Serriphine and Peter Cetera. It is pure self aggrandizement and a disservice to legacy of one of Americas best rock n roll bands. There is an epic story to be told here-and this AINT it. A real disappointment amid some inarguably great footage and music. Ultimately a misfire on all counts. Caveat emptor.

Excellent film, highly recommended!
