NOW MORE THAN EVER:THE HISTORY OF CHICAGO (2016). Very good documentary of the iconic band from the humble beginnings up to their induction into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Lots of footage of them performing and I was marveling at HOW GOOD Terry Kath and Danny Seraphine on their instruments (GTR and Drums) and HOW much the band lost after Kath's accidental (and stupid) death. The only complaint I've read have mentioned that the narration by members of the band (the four remaining originals also produced) tends to be biased. Perhaps, but We weren't there and several key members like Manager/Producer James Guercio, Donnie Dacus (gtr player after Kath) and most tellingly Peter Cetera declined to be interviewed. While I liked a lot of their singles, it really went downhill after Terry's death and the dominance of Peter and producer David Foster who came out with all sorts of goopy ballads (very popular ones) that just didn't make it for Me. Obviously this is for fans, but a casual (Me) or even non-fan will enjoy this. ****
