PHOTOS / VIDEO / SETLISTS | STS9 @ Aragon Feb 3&4, 2017

By: Kevin Hiller Photography | Videos: Hut Nons, Heady Flair

STS9 always seems to amp things up on their winter swing through Chicago and the 2017 run was no different.

The two nights brought out some big jams, some rarities and a ton of solid segues.  Kevin Hiller was on hand from Tomorrow's Verse to capture the action with his lens.

How do you achieve this level of cohesion on stage?  Practice!  And we also have a glimpse into the rehearsal room at the Aragon (and a little bit of side stage video to compliment it, as well).

Over two nights, there was plenty of fuel to keep the group's Chicago legacy burning ever brighter.
