The performance happened during last night’s show (Oct. 7) at Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre, where they played the record in full to celebrate the release of the 2003 record.

Posting a picture of Saturday night’s setlist, the band played five tracks of other songs from their catalog before they began to play Transatlanticism in full, going in chronological order.

“Chicago, thank you for helping us throw a surprise 15th birthday party for “Transatlanticism,” the band writes. “We can’t think of a better place to have done it. Thank you for always showing up for us.”
