listened to one of three I got from the library, don't remember which...as familiar and comfortable as this style is, they seem to bring some changes to my ears' normal sense of timing, or the singer is less structured...or it could be the acid.
will post after a relisten and the other two hit the player.

2hrs to showtime - Chicago in Indianapolis

At last count, believe three original members left

Old farts still put on a good show. Lamm, Pankow, and Loughnane were the three founding that were left

If you have Netflix, I’d recommend “Now More Than Ever: The History of Chicago”. I learned quite a lot about the group and some of the members.

I'll have to check it out. Though not sure how much left to learn after listening to my dad spew little factoids before, during and after the show (actual number of "facts" in those factoids still to be determined). He paid to do the picture with the band afterwards and claims Pankow remembered him when he said his name (stated earlier somewhere in one of these threads that dad went to high school with Pankow). Whether that was true or just humoring an old fan, it put a smile on pop's face for the rest of the night, so good on him. Overall, they played enough of the ballads to make my wife happy, and did enough of the early stuff as well as some incredible soloing to make me and the old man happy.
