That horn section was really really special, and together so creative and innovative not to mention quite balsy back then...but this song was and is great
+manco82 As much as I loved Chicago during their early years, I would have to rank Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd as the greatest rock and roll bands of their prime.
Hhmmm...correct me if I'm wrong but, here it is: Lawsuits against Chicago/Pink Floyd, for "copyright issues": =0 Lawsuits against ZEP for "copyright issues" = 1,256 (and counting)....sorry, but, "great" as Zep is/was in many ways, their nasty habit of stealing other's music as their own, and then refusing to "cry uncle" until the judge says so, takes away their credibility, their claim to originality, and hence, their "greatness"...
Chicago band back in the 70's with all of the original members were the very best. Peter's vocals were unlike any other singer and he really stood out in that band. They will never find another "Peter" to take his place.
Sharon you are right. With all the original members is the key. I loved the original Chicago but now it's sad that they are just like any other tribute band. I think Lenoid & friends have the energy of the original band in the 70"s!
I love how Peter hits those really high notes then goes right in to that low gravelly "hell yeah"! Really miss that voice, really miss Terry, really miss Danny....
@@cindymetcalf2924 no biggie. I've heard & seen Cetera and Kath sing so much, it's easy to recognize the range & nuances of each voice. They were both SO damned great. Such a terrible thing that happened to Terry; forever quieting that soulful, deep voice.
+NikkkitoNippongo That's why the band brought him on board in 12/1967 after they had formed ten months earlier, as well as he was an outstanding bassist and Lamm had been providing the bass with pedals.
+music and me What's more amazing is that it was recorded over forty years ago and the band, well at least four of them, are still performing live shows, although significantly fewer than they did during this period of time.
This is bad-ass!! Damn wish had a travel to the past only machine. I miss my '70's life. It was all good. Music like no other decade., never to be again. easy livin gone thankful for the memories.
Their voices all blend together so perfectly and with the instruments. There will never be another band like the original Chicago. On a side note, I bet the ladies were going nuts for Peter Cetera back then, but they are all good-looking guys.
They were the best of the best back in the 70's. So many great songs, especially with Terry and Peter as lead vocalists. The 70's had the very best music of all time. Nothing comes close to it today.
They had three lead vocalists: Terry, Peter, and Robert Lamm (ex: Lamm sang lead on Saturday In The Park). Show me any other band with three distinct lead vocalists. The original inception of Chicago was one of the greatest rock bands to ever exist.
My mom was killed in 1993... and for whatever reason, the following morning, I woke up completely numb.. but turned on my radio.. and this song was on.... I knew I was going to be ok though...I miss her deeply every day..
We grew up with great music. When this aired I was a 19 yr old United States Marine on Okinawa. I wore this cassette OUT. Love to go back to 1974, and be a teenager in the Marine Corps. Semper Fi
+twasever thus You would see Chicago, Beach Boys. You will witness Earth, Wind, and Fire perform their 'Open Our Eyes' album in late '73/ early 74 (Check out the song "Devotion" and "Fair but So Uncool" from that album. You will witness War, record their 'Why Can't We Be Friends?' album in 1974 and 75 (check out "Low Rider" and "Don't Let No One Get You Down" from that album. By the Way RIP Maurice White, founder of Earth Wind and Fire.
They all were musical geniuses! This video is amazing. All of it. Especially the shot from the stage where they show Terry and Peter from behind. Wow. Terry was a doll. I just had to say that. Too bad he is gone-and what a voice and guitar playing.
Carol Wright - Terry Kath is my ultimate favorite guitarist of all time.... Still! The guy was the heart and soul of Chicago. His singing was amazing, too! The man was truly a gifted artist. He was planning on doing a solo album, and see what happened, during his untimely accidental death. He wasn't trying to kill himself. It was truly a tragic accident.
@@joeyricci3796 I like what Jimi Hendrix had to say about him. He said he was the best guitar player he’s ever seen there was no way he could keep up with him and this was a direct quote from Jimi Hendrix.
I liked Chicago a lot back then but was never into them as much as I was into some other bands. I didn’t know the individuals in the band nor their names. It was much later, in the late 1990’s/early 2000s, when I became a big fan of the then solo vocalist Peter “Mr. Romance” Cetera, that I discovered that he’d been a primary voice in the band Chicago. Now, in 2021, at age 62, I find that the older I get the more I appreciate the classic songs of the 1970’s Chicago band and am enjoying their music more than I ever did. Chicago in their heyday produced some worldclass TIMELESS music!
Yup, theres another video, for those who haven't seen it, from Caribou. It was actually a tv special and the highlight is them in the studio with the great Al Green. Anyone who hasn't seen it is in for a treat.
Before there was Peter Cetera there was lead vocal Terry Kath (RIP) I often wonder if Terry didnt die what would of became of Chicago & now that Peter Cetera has openly stated he will NEVER go back to Chicago I really wish he would IMO Peter Cetera had a much better career with Chicago than he did being solo Peter we miss you & that Chicago fab voice ...... Please reconsider
Not before Peter Cetera. Terry and Peter were original members and sang on the same albums before Kath died. They and Robert Lamm shared the lead vocal duties.
accessbob Realistically once he joined in 1967 yes Peter was singing & "took over" say 1970 was ALWAYS the one & ONLY MAIN lead singer (especially as far as the "hits" were concerned) & yes i referred to Terry as a main singer (Terry did more/most singing in beginning than closer to his demise) but in reality he was considered the "main leader" of Chicago as the founding member but we can go around & around end all is Peter left & stated will NEVER return personally I think it is a dumb move since Chicago was his start & the MAIN PORTION of his career (I personally didnt care for his solo as many didnt LOL)
weezie paterno I guess I could say that YOU are not a TRUE fan if you are only considering the "hits." I am a true Chicago fan, have ALL of their albums and take into account ALL of the singing on the albums. So, chew on that one. And I was not saying who sang on this particular song when I said that They and Robert Lamm shared the lead vocal duties, it is over ALL songs on their albums. And that changed so that even Donnie Dacus, James Pankow, Bill Champlin, Jason Scheff, and Keith Howland also are on the newer ones.
not just considering the hits (that why I put in parenthesis) again looking at 100 video's on you tube who is the front man lead singer in any & almost ALL the songs ..... Peter Cetera whom did not join an already formed Chicago until late 1967 & only sang 3 hits out of 11 on their 1st LP (out in 1968) but u knew that cause you have all 18 of their albums LOL this is not meant to be a pissing match yes they all sang "A" song at some point or other & Terry sang most before Peter & as I never seen Lamm sing ever in the duration of Kath & Cetera years (only back up Im talking LEAD) but NOW is a whole new thing POST CHICAGO as many say band died with Kath Many say & I agree it died with Cetera unfortunately some groups the members are replaceable but NOT always !! The group lost the blues soul without Kath & the Tenor without Cetera & IMO Lamm doesn't fit either build (like Todd Rundren singing lead for the Cars (NOT - EW EW EW & I like Todd not as Cars frontman) this a few years back since Ben died 2000 & Rick left - who's now back)
There's a better possibility that Kath would play with Chicago again than Cetera would. He's making a comfortable living as a solo balladeer without having to deal with other band members.
Just amazing how well they played together. Cetera is fantastic here, but I suspect this is primarily a Pankow composition. No one nowadays is capable of producing such sound live on stage, this devotion to rehearing and performing died sometime in the late 70s. Also, I absolutely love how this video has been on UA-cam for ever and it remains in discussion till now. Some Music is unforgettable and timeless!!
Check out the "poster-perfect" 70's girl @ 2:00, also, D. Seraphine could sure pound those drums! And P. Cetera could do some "soul-singing", especially at the end of the song (not just ballad singing)...
wish music shows were still like this..... the early days..... never saw Chicago but I saw the doobies in the early days.... same kind of gig.... just electric instruments - a p.a. ,Mixers , floor monitors... mics , amps.... & PURE RAW TALENT.....
Yes it was PURE RAW TALENT !! I got to see Chicago & The Doobie Brothers Together in concert in the early 70's . . In San Diego, Ca . . . Also Saw Chicago with Santana in early 70's . . .. GREAT Times !! ;-)
Amazing the harmonies live are just as good in this live performance as on the studio recording, in some places maybe even sweeter. Thats the sign of truly gifted musicians/singers.
My FIRST favorite Chicago song! This video is with all the original members. They were the best! Amazingly, after all these years, four of the original members (James Pankow on trombone, Walter Parazaider on sax, Robert Lamm on keyboards and Lee Loughnane on trumpet) are still in the band.
I was shocked to see this. I recall watching this TV show when it originally aired in '74! It was a great special of one of my favorite bands of my childhood. Thank you for posting this amazing piece of history.
And that is why Chicago was the greatest band in the world...any questions. Terry's guitar with the phaser is just awesome. And then they roll right into Mono just great. I went to Boulder for a work seminar, as soon as that was over I went straight to Nederland and saw it from an overlook, the whole spread... I felt Terry playing song of the evergreens, It was on the breeze. That will stay with me forever.
Thanks for posting this great video of Chicago Back at the Ranch (Caribou). I vaguely remember seeing it on televison but whatever, they sound great, fantastic and really in my opinion, they really need to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, maybe one day when the so-called committee gets their act together and gives them their due!!! Love Chicago forever! Again, God bless you for posting for me and everyone to enjoy!
I sometimes wish I could go back when hearing this record but of course I cannot. Those were great times. The Vietnam war was over and there was peace. And we had predictable weather and knew what to expect. Great times.
They were all excellent musicians in this band, but Terry & Peter really added the surge and energy. Those two were so good together and the Chicago band lost two of their very best.
Now we have a very poor shadow of the original band. However, Leonid and friends, an excellent tribute band sound almost identical to the original recordings.
Loved watching this when it first aired . . . & Still Love watching it Now . . . . Will Never get tired of it !!!! " Searchin' . . . . Don't you know Why ? . . . . Hell Yea !! " ;-)
There's nothing better than a horn section in a band.
Yes. Chicago. & Tower of Power. We're the best horn sections
Isn't that the truth they never got the acclaim they deserved
That horn section was really really special, and together so creative and innovative not to mention quite balsy back then...but this song was and is great
Especially these guys.
Peter looks so handsome then and now.
Still listen this great song in 2022.....anyone else???
2024, bro! 👍
March of '24
Still one of the greatest bands on Earth. (the greatest to me)
Truly
Back in their prime... there was no band like Chicago.
+manco82 For most of the 1970s, there sure wasn't..
+Robert G. Led Zeppelin was one.
+manco82 As much as I loved Chicago during their early years, I would have to rank Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd as the greatest rock and roll bands of their prime.
Hhmmm...correct me if I'm wrong but, here it is: Lawsuits against Chicago/Pink Floyd, for "copyright issues": =0 Lawsuits against ZEP for "copyright issues" = 1,256 (and counting)....sorry, but, "great" as Zep is/was in many ways, their nasty habit of stealing other's music as their own, and then refusing to "cry uncle" until the judge says so, takes away their credibility, their claim to originality, and hence, their "greatness"...
You can put Chicago band as one of the greatest bands ever.
A masterpiece of a song. From my favorite band ever.
👍🏽
For sure
Me too favorite band ever
Chicago band back in the 70's with all of the original members were the very best. Peter's vocals were unlike any other singer and he really stood out in that band. They will never find another "Peter" to take his place.
Sharon you are right. With all the original members is the key. I loved the original Chicago but now it's sad that they are just like any other tribute band. I think Lenoid & friends have the energy of the original band in the 70"s!
@@mikeosmolak1864 No way. With Robert Lam and several other horn original they are still amazing. Just saw them last week.
@@denisedoherty4909 It's just Robert, Lee, and James now. The rest of the members are the replacements' replacements' replacements
I love their recordings from the Caribou Ranch. Terry Kath was the soul of the band.
liddlekiddle same!
Cetera gave them class
Peter is working pretty hard here; I would say equally soulful.
@@impassable Yes, as did Terry, but was forgotten or never known by many, due to his untimely death, in 1978. RIP
Who is that on vocals and is this at the Caribou ranch? The lead singer is Ripping Good!!🙂🤘
This song was charting when my brother died. It used to wreck me but also give me comfort at the same time.
Bearded Jagger I’m sorry for your loss
This song & Cetera's voice is so damn perfect. Incredible. ... I miss the old Chicago. No one else even comes close.
Where is the guitar player? Did I miss Terry Kath?
scat1997 he’s there is the green T-shirt.
Uhhhh...LISTEN TO “Leonid & Froends” buddy, you WILL DEFINATELY CHANGE YOUR OPINION!!!
Watch Leonid & Friends....!
@@m118lr Yeah they are truly something. Amazing musicians
I love how Peter hits those really high notes then goes right in to that low gravelly "hell yeah"!
Really miss that voice, really miss Terry, really miss Danny....
My friend from high school can sing similar to that and i've heard some female vocalists do the same,that kicks a__!!🙂🤘
@@cindymetcalf2924 no. peter.
@@moodylicious oops !
@@cindymetcalf2924 no biggie. I've heard & seen Cetera and Kath sing so much, it's easy to recognize the range & nuances of each voice.
They were both SO damned great. Such a terrible thing that happened to Terry; forever quieting that soulful, deep voice.
@@moodylicious Yes...that was really sad when Terry passed. I believe he would have had great things to come.
No cops, no security...wow. To go back to the early to mid 70s again...
sldl04
Yes the good ole days
The way it should be! f*^k the cops.
Am I ever ready, to go back to the 60’s & 70’s. You’d pass a stranger on the street & nod or just say hey!
I love that Cetera's powerful, brassy tenor voice.....the Chicago's voice, a perfect blend with the horns....
+NikkkitoNippongo That's why the band brought him on board in 12/1967 after they had formed ten months earlier, as well as he was an outstanding bassist and Lamm had been providing the bass with pedals.
It seems like the band really feeds off of Cetera’s amazing angelic voice!
Agreed!!!
Exactly what I've always thought, Peter's vocals are a perfect blend with the horns.
I miss the 70s. I wish there was a time capsule to travel back for a few days.
The best years of my life. The world just keeps changing in for the worst. I wish I could go back.
We still have the music! :>)
this was our high school grad song in 77. Oh how I wish it was the 70's again
takes me back to a simpler time. .my favorite years..lol
The original guitarist, co-lead singer Terry Kath was the soul of the band and they were never the same without him.
I so agree with you(best guitarist ever), but I think they reached their height of popularity after his death.
@@derekschoenike5685 because the scene let pop rock slide in.
I Agree
Peter was a great singer, and very much underrated as a bass player. I remember watching this when it aired in '74.
I love that this video was uploaded over 7 years ago and people are still watching and commenting.
+music and me What's more amazing is that it was recorded over forty years ago and the band, well at least four of them, are still performing live shows, although significantly fewer than they did during this period of time.
music and me One of my favorite songs never get sick of it
Great song that James Pankow wrote. And Peter's vocals were brilliant.
I remember watching this in late summer, 1974...on ABC-TV from Caribou Ranch, Colorado. Love when Cetera growls "Hell, yeah..."
This is bad-ass!! Damn wish had a travel to the past only machine. I miss my '70's life. It was all good. Music like no other decade., never to be again. easy livin gone thankful for the memories.
The lyrics and music is AWESOME!!! Terry Kath is blazing on the guitar.
True!!!
I was saved by these guys and their music at a hard time in my life. Their music and the music helped go on. Fabulous.
Great song, sound and group. By 16 August 1974, I was on Okinawa with the United States Marine Corps. I wore this cassette OUT. Send me back.
77 for me on the rock. I hear ya. Semper Fi
@johnegli1308 I was stationed at Camp Foster H&S Co H&S Bn 3rd Force Service Regiment (Aug74-Sep75) What MCB were you stationed at?
Chills ! They don’t make bands like this anymore . True talent
Love that six second iconic shot of Kath and Cetera together from 1:08 to 1:14.
This song has really grown on me over time, one of Chicago's best ...
My second favorite chicago song ..after..feelin stronger every day....
I love this period of Chi... love pC and TK together jamming. MMM, just the best ever~
How that's talent, what the hell has happened to real bands and classy songs like this? Sure do miss it
Hope these people watching that day understood the incredible caliber of band they were beholding.
They can’t even remember it they were smoking so much weed.
Their voices all blend together so perfectly and with the instruments. There will never be another band like the original Chicago. On a side note, I bet the ladies were going nuts for Peter Cetera back then, but they are all good-looking guys.
Josie Pussycats I suspect that many of them still are, only they're forty years older now. Wouldn't be the same.
Peter still looks good and he's in his seventies.
Peter's still a great lookin guy no matter what his age is.
Musical geniuses need I say more..
It's the blue-eyed blond thing...That is why ( and perhaps to the group's detriment) he fit the 80s so well.
They were the best of the best back in the 70's. So many great songs, especially with Terry and Peter as lead vocalists. The 70's had the very best music of all time. Nothing comes close to it today.
I AGREE Born 1960 -
They had three lead vocalists: Terry, Peter, and Robert Lamm (ex: Lamm sang lead on Saturday In The Park). Show me any other band with three distinct lead vocalists. The original inception of Chicago was one of the greatest rock bands to ever exist.
Timeless classic!!! They don't make music like this anymore
This is such a powerful love song, it strikes my ear like a sword everytime I hear it. It's so beautiful I can't really find the words to describe it.
ABSOLUTELY !
Indeed!
I grew up on this music and now 60 years later I love it even more, thank you to America's greatest band of all.
My mom was killed in 1993... and for whatever reason, the following morning, I woke up completely numb.. but turned on my radio.. and this song was on.... I knew I was going to be ok though...I miss her deeply every day..
😪💔
Peter's HAIR - Love it ❤️💋
I spend many days back in the 70's nowadays! ;-) This music certainly takes me there.
Hard to believe such good music can be made ! Sadly nothing these days
We grew up with great music. When this aired I was a 19 yr old United States Marine on Okinawa. I wore this cassette OUT. Love to go back to 1974, and be a teenager in the Marine Corps. Semper Fi
God, what I would give up to be transported into a 1970's concert @ Caribou Ranch
+twasever thus You would see Chicago, Beach Boys.
You will witness Earth, Wind, and Fire perform their 'Open Our Eyes' album in late '73/ early 74 (Check out the song "Devotion" and "Fair but So Uncool" from that album.
You will witness War, record their 'Why Can't We Be Friends?' album in 1974 and 75 (check out "Low Rider" and "Don't Let No One Get You Down" from that album.
By the Way RIP Maurice White, founder of Earth Wind and Fire.
And the weed would be green Mexican! In a chamber pipe!
u said it
It's one of the things I would use a TARDIS for.
Every time I see Terry Kath I become sad.
Me too, but then Peter makes me very happy again!
+Cindy Maddux was thinking the same thing lol. .what year did Terry die? I'm sure it shook the band to its very foundation.
1978
You can be happy that we all had his presence and music to enjoy for all the years he was with us !
Gone to soon but not forgotten..
God how I wish it was the early 70's again.
+Elizabeth Zeiger A wonderful era indeed for those of us who were in our twenties at that time.
+Robert G. I'm very jealous :) I wasn't born yet......never got the chance to see the "real" Chicago
No you dont'No gasNixon,recession,air pollution.RiotsVietnamThe music was good. That's about it.
The best music in all countries was in the 70s. I went to parties and DANCE
You and me both buddy. Best decade period!!!
Where has all the good music gone?
this was a great era for me and my teen years.
I think I've said it before, but I love how this was aired on the exact day I was born: 8/16/74. Fate made me a Chicago fan....
They all were musical geniuses! This video is amazing. All of it. Especially the shot from the stage where they show Terry and Peter from behind. Wow. Terry was a doll. I just had to say that. Too bad he is gone-and what a voice and guitar playing.

I wish this song never ended thats how great it was
BEST BAND EVER !!!!!!
AWSOME!!! I would love to see them like this again!
Simply awesome... still.
I was 2 years young when this came out!!! I love Peter Cetera....Steve Perry....and Kenny Loggings
Cetera and Loggins were the best male vocalists of the 70s and 80s.
Yeah baby love this band, the Band of the seventies.
It was!

Ariel Sobelman yup, jimmy wrote the tune!
Muse?
That shows Cetera's great ability to interpret songs the other members wrote.
@@MrJsfingers Pankow wrote a lot of the tuns - especially ones that featured the horn section!
No, I think Lamm wrote it.

Sad but true...
Beautiful cut by an awesome band.
Check out the "poster-perfect" 70's girl @ 2:00, also, D. Seraphine could sure pound those drums! And P. Cetera could do some "soul-singing", especially at the end of the song (not just ballad singing)...

and this is so gonna be my graduation song :)
ive loved it since i was 2
Amazing the harmonies live are just as good in this live performance as on the studio recording, in some places maybe even sweeter. Thats the sign of truly gifted musicians/singers.
Simply awesome music.
Cetera and company what a wonderful time for music - timeless...
Kath and company more like. : - )
How about Chicago and Company. Each member contributed beautiful music.
I miss my Dad.
My FIRST favorite Chicago song! This video is with all the original members. They were the best! Amazingly, after all these years, four of the original members (James Pankow on trombone, Walter Parazaider on sax, Robert Lamm on keyboards and Lee Loughnane on trumpet) are still in the band.
Me Too💕
thanks for posting. 40 years ago - still searching.......for an answer
30 yrs still searching for the answer too ..............
Peter was and is awesome!
I watch this video every morning before i go to work. Its SO POWERFUL!!!
As far as I'm concerned, this is the best of the best of the original Chicago cast. Thanks SO MUCH for posting.
Great talent at every position
I was shocked to see this. I recall watching this TV show when it originally aired in '74! It was a great special of one of my favorite bands of my childhood. Thank you for posting this amazing piece of history.
I hate that they dropped the second verse on this version, as they were in their prime at this time (1974).
And that is why Chicago was the greatest band in the world...any questions. Terry's guitar with the phaser is just awesome. And then they roll right into Mono just great. I went to Boulder for a work seminar, as soon as that was over I went straight to Nederland and saw it from an overlook, the whole spread... I felt Terry playing song of the evergreens, It was on the breeze. That will stay with me forever.
Thank you Nick. I was wondering where that was. Awesome venue.
Best memories summer of '74, Wishing you were here put out the same year with the Beach Boys ❤
In between sophomore and junior year of high school, wow, miss the simply life of the 70's
I need to rebuy their entire discography. It is all Soooo good.
Back n the days where people weren't looking down on their cell phones
Thanks for posting this great video of Chicago Back at the Ranch (Caribou). I vaguely remember seeing it on televison but whatever, they sound great, fantastic and really in my opinion, they really need to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, maybe one day when the so-called committee gets their act together and gives them their due!!! Love Chicago forever! Again, God bless you for posting for me and everyone to enjoy!
Thank you Anjelica. That's such a beautiful area!
Incredible band. What shines most to me is the wring and kaths guitar
Another of their incredible hits..incred because they r so simplistic/melodic/sweet/meaningful words&stories w depth
U nailed it..they were some f...n band!!!Rock/soul/jazz/soft /hard..& they coulda salsa'd!!
I sometimes wish I could go back when hearing this record but of course I cannot. Those were great times. The Vietnam war was over and there was peace. And we had predictable weather and knew what to expect. Great times.
They were all excellent musicians in this band, but Terry & Peter really added the surge and energy. Those two were so good together and the Chicago band lost two of their very best.
Now we have a very poor shadow of the original band.
However, Leonid and friends, an excellent tribute band sound almost identical to the original recordings.
Loved watching this when it first aired . . . & Still Love watching it Now . . . . Will Never get tired of it !!!!
