For the July 21, 1970 date, Graham originally tapped Joe
Cocker and then Jimi Hendrix to headline.
Unfortunately, both acts were ultimately unable to commit to the
date. So Graham took a risk, inviting a
new band with only a handful of catchy radio hits at the time. The band was Chicago and this opportunity
proved a turning point for the group.
The Fillmore at Tanglewood shows had become high-profile events, drawing
media, industry and large crowds. The
new band on the scene had a lot to prove in the headlining slot and, much to
Graham's credit and his audience's revelation, Chicago delivered a monstrous
performance.
Pentru data de 21 iulie 1970 Bill Graham, legendarul
promoter, luase legatura intai cu Joe Cocker si apoi cu Jimi Hendrix. Din
pacate ambele manifestari au fost in final imposibil de tinut la acea data. Asa
ca Graham si-a asumat riscul de a invita o trupa noua, cu doar cateva hituri
difuzate la radio pana la acea data. Trupa era Chicago si aceasta ocazie a
constituit un punct de intoarcere pentru grup. Spectacolul de la Filmore at
Tanglewood devenise un eveniment de
profil mare, cu aderenta la media, industria muzicala si multime de oameni in
public. Noua trupa a avut multe de dovedit pe scena, fiind in deschiderea
capului de afis si avand creditul acordat de Graham, dar a fost revelatia
audientei, Chicago livrand o performanta memorabilia.
