Chicago on Fremont Street – New Year’s Eve
I moved to Las Vegas in 1993, and quickly fell in love with the amazing abundance of top-notch entertainment that it offers. A Las Vegas show is a high-point for any Las Vegas NV vacation. And, you don’t have to pay high ticket prices for a show on the Strip…especially if you’re a music lover! You can find some of the best musical talent right downtown at the Fremont Street Experience.
Almost any night of the week, you can find quality Las Vegas local talent performing on Fremont Street. But, if you have outstanding timing, or plan well enough in advance…you can also see well-known musicians and groups in concert on Fremont Street. On occasion, there is a charge, but usually these concerts are absolutely Free! And what a great venue it is.
To give you an idea, here are some of the good ol’ groups and artists I have personally seen on Fremont:
The Guess Who, Johnny Rivers, The Orchestra (former members of ELO), Chuck Negron (lead singer for Three Dog Night), Starship, Gary Lewis & The Playboys, Badfinger, Marshall Tucker Band, Kansas, Paul Revere & The New Raiders, and more. (Even got a chance to meet and visit with Rivers, Negron, The Guess Who, and Revere. )
The ones I missed and cry about are Mark Farner (Grand Funk Railroad), Little River Band, and Chicago. Yes, Chicago played on Fremont Street last New Year’s Eve. I did, however, find a video of their performance for you (and I) to enjoy. So…enjoy! 
What a great performance! Almost hurts to watch it. Can’t tell you how sorry I am that I missed it. But, I’m extremely happy to have found this video for you to enjoy. Its the ideal video to convey the real feeling of a good Fremont Street concert. An absolutely awesome experience, I assure you.
Now, this concert was on New Year’s Eve, so you can bet there was a charge. However, seeing a group like this in such an exciting venue would be worth some extensive pre-vacation planning…especially if it was a free concert. We’ll find out more information on how you can receive future concert schedules and notices.
