Die schlechte Nachricht vorab: wohl leider nur über RHINO direkt
Robert Lamm, Peter Cetera, Terry Kath, James Pankow, Lee Loughnane, Walt Parazaider, and Danny Seraphine took the world by storm with 1969’s Chicago Transit Authority. The double album inaugurated a string of twelve successive platinum or multi-platinum LPs for the group over the next decade. The largest of them all was 1971’s Chicago at Carnegie Hall, colloquially referred to as Chicago IV. Over a whopping eight sides of vinyl, the 4-LP box set presented highlights from the band’s six-night, eight-show residency of April 5-10, 1971, a first for a rock band at the venerable New York hall.
“4-Record Set/Very Special Low Price…Also Included/2 Giant Wall Posters/1 Colossal Wall Poster/1 Full-Color 20-Page Photo Album,” trumpeted the sticker on the box. A No. 3 success on the Billboard 200, it was a D.I.Y. kit to immerse the listener in all things Chicago, and remains a beloved if controversial entry in their catalogue. Carnegie Hall was and is renowned for its acoustic qualities, making it an unusual venue for heavily-amplified electric jazz-rock with horns. The band and the Columbia label were initially at loggerheads as to how to record and present the concerts, and there were concerns over the sound quality captured over the six evenings. But when the box sold over two million copies, preserving the sound of a young, hungry, and innovative band on fire, any doubts were naturally allayed. The album received a 1972 Billboard Trendsetter Award for breaking new ground. Now, Rhino is celebrating 50 years of Chicago at Carnegie Hall with a new box set collecting the complete eight concerts on 16 CDs. It’s due on July 16 as an exclusive to the Rhino.com webstore.
Produced by James William Guercio, Chicago at Carnegie Hall has been collected numerous times on CD – most notably in Rhino’s 2005 box set. That 4-CD presentation in a rigid, embossed slipcase replicated the original three posters and photo album, and added one disc of eight newly-mixed performances not featured on the original 4-LP set including “Listen,” “South California Purples,” “Loneliness Is Just a Word,” “An Hour in the Shower,” and alternates of “25 or 6 to 4” and “Sing a Mean Tune, Kid.” This iteration presents everything heard during Chicago’s eight Carnegie Hall concerts, the result of more than a year’s work by Lee Loughnane and engineer Tim Jessup in Loughnane’s new Arizona studio.
The box takes the form of a white folio embossed with Chicago’s famous logo. In addition to the 16 CDs, it also includes the replica posters and a 28-page booklet with the concert photos as well as liner notes from Lee Loughnane, archivist Jeff Magid, David Wild, and comedian/Chicago enthusiast Jimmy Pardo.

Jokerman. Jetzt schon 70 Jahre Rock 'n' RollÖhm … soll ich hier im Forum „Hab’ich! Hab’ich!“ rumlaufen?
Für die teilweise überhöhten Preise kann ich auch nichts, aber das ändert nichts daran, dass die eine oder andere VÖ auch für den einen oder anderen interessant ist.
PS: die CHICAGO hier würde ich mir aber tatsächlich leisten – wenn sie nicht nur aus den USA sondern auch aus der EU angeboten würde.

Wenn ich meinen Hund beleidigen will nenne ich ihn Mensch. (AS) „Weißt du, was ich manchmal denke? Es müsste immer Musik da sein. Bei allem was du machst. Und wenn's so richtig Scheiße ist, dann ist wenigstens noch die Musik da. Und an der Stelle, wo es am allerschönsten ist, da müsste die Platte springen und du hörst immer nur diesen einen Moment.“ +27233flashbackmagazineDie schlechte Nachricht vorab: wohl leider nur über RHINO direkt
Die gute Nachricht: Überflüssiger Kram. Braucht niemand!

Nach derzeitigem Stand wohl nicht. Diesbezüglich bleibt es bei den bisher veröffentlichten Versionen (wenn mich nicht täuscht, waren das 2CD- bzw. 3CD-Packages).
