The Iroquois Theatre (Theater) Fire occurred on December 30, 1903, in Chicago, Illinois. It is the deadliest theater fire and the deadliest single-building fire in United States history. A total of 602 people died as a result of the fire. The theatre had three audience levels. The main floor (known as the "orchestra" or "parquet") was on the same level as the Foyer or Grand Stair Hall. The second level (the "dress circle") and the third level (the "gallery") were accessed through broad stairways that led off the foyer. The backstage areas were unusually large, with dressing rooms on five levels, an uncommonly large fly gallery (where scenery was hung), and even an elevator available to transport actors down to the stage level. The Iroquois was Chicago's newest and most polished theater, built by architect Benjamin Marshall, who had studied many fires over the years and had tried to make this particular building as safe as possible. The Iroquois was designed in the image of a famous Paris opera house, and the four-story structure contained elaborates stained glass windows and polished wood. The lobby of the Iroquois had a sixty-foot high ceiling and marble walls, and Marshall had put in as many as twenty-five exits that supposedly would allow a capacity crowd to escape any problems in less than five minutes. A curtain made of asbestos was supposed to be present, one that could be lowered from above the stage to protect the audience in case of a fire that started there. But ...

Another one from Chicago's 1978 show at the Greek Theater. Here, the band performs "FREE" which was originally a top twenty hit from Chicago III in 1970. This performance is unusual in that Robert Lamm - the song's writer - sings the lead vocals. Originally, the song was song by the late Terry Kath. In 1978, Chicago was in the unique position of having two tenor vocalists with bassist Peter Cetera and new guitarist, Donnie Dacus. So, Robert took on the task of singing the tune during this tour. The Bill Conti Orchestra is playing along with the band. Since that time, Bill Champlin (who joined in the early 1980s) has performed the lead vocal on "FREE".
