Chicago first burst on the American music scene as The Chicago Transit Authority in 1968 with a debut double album, which included the hits, “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?,” “Questions 67 and 68” and “Beginnings.” Second only to the Beach Boys in terms of singles and albums, Chicago is one of the longest running and most successful U.S. pop/rock groups.
Other hits include, “Saturday In The Park,” “Feelin’ Stronger Every Day,” “Baby What a Big Surprise,” “Hard Habit to Break,” “25 or 6 to 4” and the prom night fave, “Colour My World.”
Modeled after the three-guitar, three-part vocal harmonies of the seminal San Francisco band Moby Grape, The Doobie Brothers were formed in San Jose in 1970. Their 1972 hit single, “Listen to The Music,” propelled the band into rock ‘n’ roll stardom. Hit after hit followed, including, “China Grove,” “Long Train Running,” “Black Water,” “You Just Can’t Stop It,” “Take Me In Your Arms (Rock Me),” “It Keeps You Running,” “Takin’ It To The Streets” and many more.
Tickets are only through TicketMaster outlets; $49.50-$99.50.

Good news is relative and El Dorado County officials took some satisfaction this week that the county is in better fiscal shape than some neighboring jurisdictions.
After months of layoffs, furloughs and cuts in services, staff members said the county should be able to avoid further layoffs this fiscal year, despite projected budget shortfalls in the District Attorney’s Office and Development Services Department.
General fund revenue is expected to exceed budget by $1.4 million when the fiscal year ends June 30.
