This feature was created for Fare Thee Well at Soldier Field, spotlighting one show per year by the group and its members’ various projects from 1965-2014.
A notable show on the list is the Halloween show, which is why it’s on our mind.
The original article ran across all three days in the Fare Thee Well programs.
