About this concert
Chicago had a very vibrant music scene in the 60s, and the top hits flowing from it illuminated radios and turntables everywhere in the USA. The Cornerstones Of Rock celebrate those great songs with the original artists live onstage. The tour includes The Ides Of March featuring Jim Peterik, The Buckinghams, Cryan’ Shames, and New Colony Six. The concert, as seen on the nationwide PBS-TV special "American Garage:The Cornerstones Of Rock" is a non-stop cavalcade of hits, as seen on TV shows like "Ed Sullivan", "American Bandstand" and others. Remember "Vehicle", "Kind Of A Drag", "Sugar and Spice", and "I Will Always Think About You"? Of course you do! You'll hear all these hits and more-played by the original artists you loved in the sixties. The lineup is anchored by THE IDES OF MARCH featuring Jim Peterik.

The Buckinghams Biography

In 1967, five kids from the west side of Chicago had a huge hit on their hands with the recording of "Kind Of A Drag". Soon the pop song reached #1 on the charts and the group named after the famous fountain in Chicago's Grant Park were making appearances on the top TV shows like Ed Sullivan, American Bandstand, and The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. While The Buckinghams never produced another #1 hit, their blend of good old fashioned rock-n-roll makes them an attraction to this day.

The Buckinghams have performed across the country to capacity crowds with other artists of similar stature like The Turtles, Tommy James and the Shondells, Gary Puckett and The Union Gap, along with The Grass Roots.

The Buckinghams sang the national anthem at Comiskey Park before game one of the American Baseball League playoffs in 2004.
