If you can't be there--join them!

It's the biggest party night of the year and ABC 7 viewers once again will have front row seats to all the fun, entertainment and hoopla that are part of this city's New Year's Eve tradition. COUNTDOWN CHICAGO's Davies and Giangreco will join the party at the Sheraton Hotel, spotlighting some of the best music the night has to offer including rock headliner "Collective Soul," along with "Marty Casey's Lovehammers," and "Too White Crew." Also at the Sheraton, ABC 7's Bill Campbell will be checking out the scene, talking to partygoers about their New Year's resolutions and big plans for 2007.
In addition, "190 North's" Doug Banks will help music fans get in the groove at the Green Dolphin Street, where "Lynne Jordan and the Shivers" will keep the place tingling with their soulful rhythm and blues.
Michelle Alegria will save a seat at one of Chicago's favorite live music venues, Fitzgerald's, where Sonny Landreth will clarify why he's the master of the slide guitar.
