Chicago Live from New York

In another instalment of A&E network’s Live By Request, LD Rick Siegel illuminated the legendary rock ‘n roll band Chicago for a two-hour world premiere aired live from New York on September 5th.

Lighting suppliers Paradigm of Florida delivered Martin’s new MAC 2000 Wash for the event, along with an abundance of other Martin gear including MAC 2000 Performance, MAC 2000 Profile, MAC 500 and MAC 600 fixtures.

Chicago took center stage for an evening of live music in which the group took song requests via a special 800-telephone number.

Live By Request on the A&E network reaches millions of viewers in North America while A&E Mundo reaches millions viewers in Latin America. Mark McEwen, the popular TV personality from CBS’ The Early Show, hosted the special.
 
In a career that spans 35 years Chicago has established a reputation for powerful live show performances. The band’s record sales have reached an amazing 122,000,000 with 20 top ten hits. In July, Chicago released The Very Best of Chicago: Only the Beginning to commemorate their 35th anniversary.

From the first groundbreaking telecast of A&E´s Live By Request in 1996, the show has become one of the most critically acclaimed and fastest growing music performance series on American television.
