Peter Cetera is quite honestly in my opinion is the classic vocalist of Chicago. Although he has went on to commercial success, he is very underestimated for his years with Chicago. I had seen a Behind the Music Episode of Chicago and although he didn't participate in the broadcast, the others were quick to point out that Terry Kath was much more important and his passing is what changed Chicago and in some ways ruined them. The band members gave very little mention of Cetera and only gave a nod at some of the commercial success they had with him. They apparantly hated the ballads he wrote, but these were some of the biggest hits Chicago ever had. "If you leave me now" was Chicago's 1st ever number one hit and this was a Cetera song. I've found Peter to be extreemly professional in his interviews regarding Chicago. It appears he never did want to leave but only take a break and work on his solo work but the Members gave him a choice of either tour or leave. It's pityful that they continue to hold a grudge over this. Chicago has not been the same since Cetera left and they have continued in some part attempting to re-create ballad type music in the style of Cetera. The DVD was professionaly produced, and I loved the arrangements of some of the older Chicago tunes. Some of the tunes appear to have been sung in a different key, but still are wonderful. Thank you Peter.

If you've missed Peter Cetera in Chicago, this DVD is for you. He gives a live concert in Salt Lake City, singing some of his Chicago hits and also his own hits as a single artist. The man's voice is magical. I would highly recommend this to any Peter Cetera fan!

This DVD, in my opinion, would be fine if you don't have a quality home theater system. Cetera, his singers, and the orchestra are all first class. The mix, particularly in DTS, is at best amateuristic, plus the lighting is not up to professional standards. It is no great surprise to me that while the DVD was released by Pro-Active Entertainment, it was not approved by Peter Cetera. Soundstage: Peter Cetera Live in Concert DVD is far superior.

An excellent DVD with Peter singing his all time hits from his Chicago days as well as some new songs - the backing of the Salt Lake City orchestra is superb and their instrumental renditions are simply beautiful.

I was starting to wonder if anyone was stealing my mail. I also ordered another product at the same time and both pieces including this piece was never delivered. I phoned this company and they quickly sent me out another copy. Now thats service. I will surely order from them again.

The concert quality was great however the content was not so great. Peter was quite vain and the concert kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.
