L.A. Goodbye                     You Wouldn't Listen

Take a trip down memory lane as two of Chicago's favorite acts from the '60s and '70s return to The Genesee!

Celebrating over 60 years together, The Ides of March featuring Jim Peterik has a timeless sound few bands can match. Formed in Berwyn, IL, the band continues to tour with its four original members.

Peterik, a Grammy® Award-winning songwriter, also co-founded Survivor, co-writing their platinum-selling songs "Eye of the Tiger" and "I Can't Hold Back," as well as other big hits, including "Hold on Loosely" and "Rockin' into the Night" for 38 Special.

Named Billboard's "Most Listened to Band in America" of 1967, The Buckinghams charted seven hit singles with five reaching the Top 20 and three climbing into the Top 10. During their heyday, the group became a fan favorite on The Ed Sullivan Show and American Bandstand.

Having stayed true to their Chicago roots, founding members Carl Giammarese and Nick Fortuna continue to deliver a dynamic show featuring the group's biggest hits and solid gold memories.

Audiences and critics agree: this concert is the perfect "Vehicle" for cruising back in time and enjoying some outstanding music!
