Another of those timeless songs, I never tire of hearing. Still as good as it was in the seventies, one of my favorites of all time. It is so superior to the noise that tries to pass off as music nowadays.
Omg, I love Chicago! I've been on a continuous loop of nostalgia and I don't wanna get off. The Eagles, David Gates & Bread, Carole King, Carly Simon. Somebody help...! lol
the original lineup had something playing together. As much as I do enjoy later albums, Chicago lost its soul when Terry Kath died. It just wasn't the same.
Agreed.....I was too young to ever see them with any lead singer other than the latest guy...I can't even think of his name. Old Chicago is the best Chicago!
I know a lot of people get iffy about Peter writing love songs but he seriously made some of the best melodies by far in rock history and in the band and that voice is one in a million. Like I can't imagine any of their hits being sung other than Peter, besides Terry in Make Me Smile.
Except for the live shows with Terry, the bands releases did not display Terrys guitar fusion sound since actually Chicago 3, "Saturday in the park"(1972) up till "Baby what a big surprise" (1977) 5 yrs Kath had nothing going on with these pop oriented tunes even songs between the two aforementioned tunes. Thr record companies demand for the pop songs actually changed the band and somewhat sidelined Terry before he died in 1978. I dont see how he was missed (musically), when his fusion like playing was already cut out of most of their sound.
@@waltersimmons946 I believe he was the first that wanted to leave the band, along Cetera and Lamm. I never cared for their pop stuff... I understand you have to market a band to make money, but I'm sure they had quite the following even before their pop days on the radio. I stopped buying their stuff as it all sounds the same now..recycled pop songs. Sad really. But their stuff up 78 was still good.
@@deltatango2581 Thanks for responding, I agree with what you said about the pop direction they had taken, and actually it was Terry who was going leave first. Cetera did an interview with Ernie Manouse explaining that it was Terry, Lamm and Cetera himself on leaving in that order. That interview with Ernie Manouse , you can see it on UA-cam and Cetera addresses a lot of things , even some stunts the record company was trying to pull behind his back even after "Glory of Love and "Next time I fall". Yes, even after those songs did very well the record company was still plotting and trying to get him back in Chicago (He had no management or backing when he was officially solo) . Its funny how people say hes egotistical and douche bag, he's not like that at all. He revealed in that interview he was a afraid of leaving Chicago (for years) not only because their success was massive but also he didn't think he'd be accepted as a solo artist but once they forced him out (by reneging on his requests to spend time with his daughter and doing the solo album) he said he was scared but he felt his leaving was the right decision. And you should see the "Terry Kath "Experience" Kaths daughter interviews people even Cetera and according to Cetera, Kath was unhappy and had songs laid out for his solo move and Kath also said " NO HORNS" . But everyone grumbled when Cetera wrote songs without horns.
@@waltersimmons946 I seen that video you were talking about and it reinforced what had read about the three of them wanting to leave the band. The Terry Kath Experience was done by his daughter if I remember right. It gives you more insight on Terry, which I thought was prob one of the most underrated guitarist of the time and very humble.
You know I've seen Chicago over 30 times over the years. I've been a Chicago fan since I don't know since the mid 70s when I was I don't know 7 years of age because I was going through my parents records and I would just pick through the records and just put music on and having no clue who they were but I would just listen to music while I was building models but as I got older. I started learning about music but I have to say Terry Kath over the years became my favorite guitarist of all times unfortunately I never got to see Chicago with Terry cath unfortunately he lost his life through drug addiction and he took his life through a mistake with a gun.
One of the first Chicago songs to be a purely studio creation that couldn't be replicated live. Well, I guess that "I've Been Searching So Long" was really the first...
You could hear the sarcasm before the song. I wonder if it was Cetera that told Pankow to shut up. The song that divided the band. Kath refused to help record it.
That puzzled me for ages too, until a few years ago it suddenly dawned on me: Kath was a BLUES man, musically. A consummate player and fan of the blues (the music), had a bluesy voice, and that big honking MUSICAL NOTE on the front of the jersey. That jersey was a statement about HIMSELF, not a hockey team. (And I'm from St. Louis, BTW).
Well, why did Cameron in Ferris Buellers Day Off wear a Detroit Red Wings Jersey when he’s from Chicago❓🤷♂️ More interestingly, why were Horns added to Twist And Shout during parade in Ferris Bueller❔Food for thought.
Yes. Terry Kath was actually a pretty good bass player. He also played bass when Chicago would perform Wishing You Were Here live. If you can play a guitar, then you can play a bass too.
KATH IS NOT ON THIS SONG, HE LEFT BEFORE THE RECORDING. HE DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS CHICAGO. AS TOLD - it was last song recorded, & almost didn't make the album. HOW CRAZY IS THAT! 😍
@@terrykathspotlight9916 thank's, perfect bass line👍JWG playing one acoustic guitar?the French horn?possible musician orchestra Jimmy Haskell?because I don't see French horn in the Chicago horns.
Drugs. Drugs was the end of Chicago. It stifled their creativity and Peter began writing and singing all their hits. I love Peter and he was going to leave anyway, but he kept the band going through their loss and the lean times and once he revived the band in the early 80s, he left. Peter gets a lot of crap, but he saved the band and he deserves better from so called Chicago fans.
I’m sure he does, but something about this performance threw it off. Like he wasn’t as tight as other performances I know him for. great song regardless!
Back in 1976 myself and my family stay at a cabin on a small lake in Wisconsin. Turns out the owners were Terry Kath's parents. I remember the gold and platinum records on the wall there. When he died I was beyond shocked and sad. The group Chicago I've loved since age 9 or so. Now I'm 55.
Charlotte such a talented band sad sometimes life takes us down a road we can never come back from.But the music will be with us always.Always love Chicago.My wifes late brother in law has Billy Ocean's Platinum framed disc.His sister was married to Robert John Mutt Langer.Who was married to Shania Twain.
A couple important points: 1. Danny is the one telling Pankow to shut up, after Pankow mocked Peter's song with the smartass "John Denver" remark. Pankow was a heavy drinker and coke abuser (as were some of the others in those days) and his antics were a frequent source of frustration and anger within the band. Danny said later in his book that it eventually got to the point where the band did an intervention on Pankow and told him to get his shit together and knock it off, which to his credit, he did. It's a well-known fact that Cetera and Pankow clashed often, usually over Cetera's stated preference to leave the horns off some of his songs. It's also no secret that Pankow's muse had pretty much abandoned him by this point, while Cetera was hitting his stride as a songwriter. The fact that this song quickly became the band's first #1 song, and a huge hit worldwide, no doubt made it all the worse for Pankow. Imagine if Cetera introduced Pankow's Ballet For A Girl In Buchanon to the crowd with a smartass comment like, "Now we're gonna play some bullshit inspired by Bach." 2. Don't believe the crap you hear about "Terry refused to play the song in concert and/or walked off the stage when they played it, because he was upset that he didn't play on the recording." That is pure bullshit, spread by people who don't know or care about the truth. The truth is, Terry occasionally played bass in the studio, and Peter occasionally played acoustic guitar on some songs. It's called being multi-talented. There was nothing unusual or controversial about, as both guys (along with producer Guercio, who also played both instruments) had the ability to do so, and when the band was at Caribou, it was not unusual for some guys to work on some songs while other band members were out and about or "doing other things" at the Ranch.
Yeah. I've always wondered the relationship between Peter and Terry. It must've had to been real tight since they were the two guitar players in the band and had to work off of each other. I always hear how the other members dealt with Terry but not Peter's. Does anyone know?
When music didnt need backup dancers, flashy sets, unnecessary oohs and ahhs filling up space, real lyrics that had a message and the bands sounded as good onstage as their recordings. God I miss those days. Kids today have no idea.
Pankow was rude and obnoxious from start to finish on this song. He obviously knew he was being outshined. Fortunately, Peter kept his composure and performed the song brilliantly. True talent.
Watching this video, it must have been hard for Peter to keep his cool on stage after Pankow made his sarcastic comments before the song started. This was their first #1 song and in my opinion Pankow was jealous of Peter and still is to this day!
Another example of Jimmy being a prick onstage and showing his jealousy of a good song that he didn't write. Glad that Danny had the balls to call him out about it onstage. I bet there were some interesting words between them after the show.
Musically speaking, this song is a sweet little number, but I wasn't a Cetera fan. After Kath, the music became pop. Still, Bruce was an ass. Peter does have a John Denver vibe goin on!
Peter would be the only dude from Chicago to not just write 1, but 2 #1 hits for the band. Pankow's super jealous about that, so is Robert. Pankow and Lamm thought they had a monopoly on the songwriting, they never could accept Peter's writing success.
@@WillClarkston24 ,Not sure your right about that , from what l read and heard Peter became lead singer while Kath was still there and did a lot of lead singing in a lot of those albums !!!!
Not Chicagos saltiest tune, but yet one of the prettiest songs that ever has been written. Many new listeners now discovered the group and much more of their music.
Terry plays guitar, but he also plays bass. In the early years before Chicago was Chicago, they already had a guitar player James William Guercio, but they needed a bass player so Terry became the vast CV player on the tour.
Este grupo fue realmente fabuloso. Cantaban y tocaban muy bien y sus canciones son buenas para escucharlas todavía, más de 40 años después. Y lo hacían en una forma tan natural, que siempre me impresionó.
Being from Chicago I had to love their music. I remembered having a crush on a girl during the time this song came out. I kinda owned it at that time along with “Lady” by Styx.
@@sharonlaforest6134 They didn't want Peter writing songs period. When he joined the band in 1967 he was not a songwriter, the same for Dennis Deyoung when Styx started but Robert Lamm encouraged Cetera to bring any ideas to the band, if he had any for songs. Cetera said in a 1995 interview " They'd tell what do you think your doing,? We have enough songwriters" and it sounds to me those were words from James Pankow. Lucky for them Cetera put up with up those crybabies long as he did. And Peter , David Foster, Seraphine and Bill Champlin are the ones who gave Chicago the band a revived career, they are the reason Chicago 16 was successful period. It was Dan Seraphine who brought Cetera into the original Chicago line up and later for Chicago 16 it was Seraphine who brought Foster/Champlin in to resuscitate their careers, thus Cetera/Seraphine saved the band but got kicked out by some jeoulous egotistical old men.
This song it alright. But when you hear the beginning of some of their older pieces you just sit up and take notice and then immersed. For me the brass added so much to the band.
Una de las canciones más hermosas e icónicas de la banda , y por supuesto Terry intercambiando su guitarra por el bajo con Peter ,Muy buena actuación ! Saludos desde México 🖖😃🇲🇽
Why is this supposed to be about “Terry Kath“ when the camera is on Peter Cetera the whole time? Yes, Virginia, this is what the world USED to be like!
LMAO James was being an ass, but i mean......lowkey he wasn't wrong tho....once Peter's songwriting hits took over, Chicago became a saccharine pop band. This still remains a gorgeous number though.
That"s so funny that Peter mentions John Denver at the beginning. I assume because, John also played those big Guild jumbos. 6 string & 12 string. I like the way the guitar is a little more faw in this recording & how Peter makes a quick adjustment to the microphone early on.
i think they were having a bad night. Pankow compliments the understanding, and still enthusiastic audience. Danny yelling at Pankow publicly. Cetera is really struggling to hit the notes, with little cohesive support from the band. It seems to me like it is all falling apart for them that night.
i give Pete all kinds of props. he stayed longer than i would have considering all the childlike envious antics he had to put up with from some of the other members [coworkers]. I oftentimes viewed it as an abusive work situation. let's be realistic, if one looks at all videos one sees Pete working his vocals to death, lead, backup lead, etc. and not getting respect or recognition. for the longest [most listeners gave] all credit to kath and lamm when in fact the 'voice' was cetera. this comment from ig'nant azz'd pankow is one example of the many attacks Cetera had to put up with that would have hindered a lesser artist's creative energy--let alone sucker punch pankow after tha show. Pete, in my book, will always be the 'voice' of Chicago whether folks want to accept or not-it is what it is or was. Pete was, is very talented. He worked his 'cute' li'l tusch off for Chicago. LOL! one thing i have to chide on is tha hair cut he wore when he appeared on Merv Griffin 1980...tickled me to life.
"Si me dejas ahora" excelente canción, tan sentimental, cantada con tanto sentimiento, y tocada con mucho talento. Está a millas encima de las canciones que se producen ahora.
No hay punto de comparación con lo q hoy llaman música....pobre nuestros hijos que están creciendo con ese ruido llamado Reguetón..... ésto es música... inevitable no llorar de la emoción d de escuchar a Peter Cetera y Terry D.E.P.
Cetera es un buen músico, pero TK sencillamente era un GENIO, aquí se puede ver que Cetera no tiene gran dominio de la guitarra; pero TK toca el bajo como si fuese su instrumento de siempre.
Unsung hero of this song, Robert Lamm on the keyboards! (I'm guessing that's the old Fender Rhodes, such a great sound that had. Can really hear it around 2:35.)
@@coltoncooper170 Yes, he wrote probably more than half of their big hits in the early years, and was clearly an influence on Peter Cetera, who would eventually become a principal songwriter for the group. Hard to imagine Chicago without Lamm’s 25 or 6 to 4 being a staple for 50 years now.
Someone in the comments referred Peter as the muse, that's very accurate. All the members who wrote songs and wanted them to be hits, wrote the songs with Peter in mind. Who else could deliver them and make them hits.
I wish Rebecca was here that song what Does My Heart a little bit too hard and Debbie too that song is amazing especially the keyboard thing that freaks out
Pankow's comments were not necessary before the song and video started. Glad to hear someone in the band told him to "shut-up." He is so damn egotistical.
Yes he is and always has been way too much to take. The horns are great but without Peter Cetera's voice to compliment that, things would have been quite different.
Despite everything else.. Terry should have been playing the guitar here... Sure pete wrote the song.. but the playing here just sucked.. and Pete should have been playing bass.. In the studio its a different thing.. Like the song Beginnings Robert could play it and did often after Terry passed... but while Terry was alive, he played the guitar and it was a work of genius..
Pete Cetera era o solista mor da banda e continua a fazer sucesso, já velho. Terry Kath e Robert Lamm também são excelentes. Cantei muitos sucessos da banda Chicago, de 1973 a 1976, na noite paulista, aqui no Brasil.
When CETARA Had this first #1...His EGO Started To Take Over THIS INCREDIBLE BAND! That's what I'm seeing in this and subsequent CHICAGO Albums! LAMM, KATH, PANKOW, MADE THIS BAND...They Were Harder Edged, most of the time! The Tragic Loss of TERRY KATH is what Cetera Used to "Take Over"...To the Ridiculous Degree of eventually bringing in OUSIDE Songwriters! Wish They had found SHEFF From the Start! HE Had a Much Less " ANNOYING Voice & Personality! (Just my humble opinion.😎)
I dont know about you all, but the song "Wishing you were here" is one freaking great song. What do you think?
I can play that on guitar all night long wishing you were here makes me weep
Saw the video (with the Beach Boys backing) for the first time last week, blew me away, no words, can't stop playing it.

@@WillClarkston24 ,Not sure your right about that , from what l read and heard Peter became lead singer while Kath was still there and did a lot of lead singing in a lot of those albums !!!!
Peter sang this song and he was great!
One of the best guitarists in history and he had no problem playing the bass if it served the song.
so sad 1 year later kath dies
Not Chicagos saltiest tune, but yet one of the prettiest songs that ever has been written. Many new listeners now discovered the group and much more of their music.
Chicago was a musical force. When Kath died and Cetera eventually left they were nothing but a shell of the group that they once were.
Cetera: "Hey Pankow, shut up!"
LOL couldn't have said it better myself
Sounded like Danny Seraphine
That was Danny
Danny was a great drummer, but IMO...a real jerk !!!
@@ginasicina8964 how was he a jerk?
He didn't need to be jealous, Pankow wrote most of their best songs
Terry Kath playing a Fender Jazz Bass?
Yep! He played bass on this tune and "Wishing You Were Here". Terry played bass for years in the early bands...The Missing Links, Caravan of Stars....
I read that terry said he’d never play this song live cause he wasn’t on the studio recording. Cool to see him play bass here.
Terry plays guitar, but he also plays bass. In the early years before Chicago was Chicago, they already had a guitar player James William Guercio, but they needed a bass player so Terry became the vast CV player on the tour.
Este grupo fue realmente fabuloso. Cantaban y tocaban muy bien y sus canciones son buenas para escucharlas todavía, más de 40 años después. Y lo hacían en una forma tan natural, que siempre me impresionó.
These guys are music crafters of a combined virtuoso level.
Great song brings back memories 76 17 years old ❤
Peter's great song. Very rarely did he play the acoustic 12-string. And Terry plays the bass. "Happy Man" and "Wishing You Were Here".
John B Flanagan Prefer Feeling Stronger Everyday i think
Such a beautiful song. It will never get old. Peter C, you rock..
Being from Chicago I had to love their music. I remembered having a crush on a girl during the time this song came out. I kinda owned it at that time along with “Lady” by Styx.
very poignant just watch the Terry Kath experience Doc's that rock on AXS TV beautiful
"Hey, [trombone player] - shut up." We get that a lot. 🤷♀️
Someone sounds drunk before the song begins. Bruce, that someone, was rude to speak like that, especially in front of an audience.
That someone was James Pankow. He had and still has a huge ego and in my opinion had a jealousy problem with Peter in their later years.
Who did the lights on this show? Great audio but if they didn't allow flash cameras in the audience I'd think my screen was broken.
Now I see why people say that Pankow was a asshole. Bet he wasn’t making a comment like that when he saw his bank account.
In my opinion Pankow resented Peter once he started to emerge as a songwriter and contributed to the band's first #1 song.
@@sharonlaforest6134 They didn't want Peter writing songs period. When he joined the band in 1967 he was not a songwriter, the same for Dennis Deyoung when Styx started but Robert Lamm encouraged Cetera to bring any ideas to the band, if he had any for songs. Cetera said in a 1995 interview " They'd tell what do you think your doing,? We have enough songwriters" and it sounds to me those were words from James Pankow. Lucky for them Cetera put up with up those crybabies long as he did. And Peter , David Foster, Seraphine and Bill Champlin are the ones who gave Chicago the band a revived career, they are the reason Chicago 16 was successful period. It was Dan Seraphine who brought Cetera into the original Chicago line up and later for Chicago 16 it was Seraphine who brought Foster/Champlin in to resuscitate their careers, thus Cetera/Seraphine saved the band but got kicked out by some jeoulous egotistical old men.
Ok, I gotta ask, when exactly did Robert Lamm encourage Peter to bring any ideas to the band? I’ll have to look that up
This song it alright. But when you hear the beginning of some of their older pieces you just sit up and take notice and then immersed. For me the brass added so much to the band.
One of Chicago’s best! Veterans still sounds 👍 great!
The best version. Cetera, the voice perfect! Chicago is band of the world.
yeah Sadly the Band Is Not This One .Just Boring Old has Been Horn Players Past There Sell By date .The New Chicago
He is an asshole
Cetera and Kath made this group. Wish they had valued and kept Cetera after Kath died.
@@suzanne9622 Uh he left on his own free will.
Una de las canciones más hermosas e icónicas de la banda , y por supuesto Terry intercambiando su guitarra por el bajo con Peter ,Muy buena actuación ! Saludos desde México 🖖😃🇲🇽
Why is this supposed to be about “Terry Kath“ when the camera is on Peter Cetera the whole time? Yes, Virginia, this is what the world USED to be like!
"Hey Pankow! Shut up." 😂
😂😂😂😂
We've all yelled that at one time or another.
@@warrenenglish942 not an excuse !!!!!
I heard that too! Lol..also Terry Kath on bass and counts the song in
LMAO James was being an ass, but i mean......lowkey he wasn't wrong tho....once Peter's songwriting hits took over, Chicago became a saccharine pop band. This still remains a gorgeous number though.
That"s so funny that Peter mentions John Denver at the beginning. I assume because, John also played those big Guild jumbos. 6 string & 12 string. I like the way the guitar is a little more faw in this recording & how Peter makes a quick adjustment to the microphone early on.
Terry and Pete were the icons of Chicago
you got that right!
They were, big time!!!
Those two made that band who they were. Never the same without them.
miyubail ???? Bobby Lamm???
@@sharonlaforest6134 What about Robert Lamm? His compositions put Chicago on the map!
About the English l know when ..... Now.....無法顯示心底留言 I am so sorry....... Thanks so much your good song.... Hard to say I'm sorry/Getaway
i think they were having a bad night. Pankow compliments the understanding, and still enthusiastic audience. Danny yelling at Pankow publicly. Cetera is really struggling to hit the notes, with little cohesive support from the band. It seems to me like it is all falling apart for them that night.
This song is dedicated to All those who are SIMPIN in 2021.
I'd be driving and listen to this and sing this beautiful song and feel so knew in everyway , Along the beatiful roads of home
I kinda like it slowed down like this lol
Bittersweet
Love Classics 💜
i give Pete all kinds of props. he stayed longer than i would have considering all the childlike envious antics he had to put up with from some of the other members [coworkers]. I oftentimes viewed it as an abusive work situation. let's be realistic, if one looks at all videos one sees Pete working his vocals to death, lead, backup lead, etc. and not getting respect or
recognition. for the longest [most listeners gave] all credit to kath and lamm when in fact the 'voice' was cetera. this comment from ig'nant azz'd pankow is one example of the many attacks Cetera had to put up with that would have hindered a lesser artist's creative energy--let alone sucker punch pankow after tha show. Pete, in my book, will always be the 'voice' of Chicago whether folks want to accept or not-it is what it is or was. Pete was, is very talented. He worked his 'cute' li'l tusch off for Chicago. LOL! one thing i have to chide on is tha hair cut he wore when he appeared on Merv Griffin 1980...tickled me to life.
Indeed a unique talent.
Kath playing chords on the bass - beast.
The song from the start of new Chicago era, bring broader, much broader audience from all over the world, incl us in Indonesia...
A magical band and a magical voice
"Si me dejas ahora" excelente canción, tan sentimental, cantada con tanto sentimiento, y tocada con mucho talento. Está a millas encima de las canciones que se producen ahora.
No hay punto de comparación con lo q hoy llaman música....pobre nuestros hijos que están creciendo con ese ruido llamado Reguetón..... ésto es música... inevitable no llorar de la emoción d de escuchar a Peter Cetera y Terry D.E.P.
Cetera es un buen músico, pero TK sencillamente era un GENIO, aquí se puede ver que Cetera no tiene gran dominio de la guitarra; pero TK toca el bajo como si fuese su instrumento de siempre.
Unsung hero of this song, Robert Lamm on the keyboards! (I'm guessing that's the old Fender Rhodes, such a great sound that had. Can really hear it around 2:35.)
Unsung hero of the whole damn band if you ask me man.
Probably the most underrated member for sure.
@@coltoncooper170 Yes, he wrote probably more than half of their big hits in the early years, and was clearly an influence on Peter Cetera, who would eventually become a principal songwriter for the group. Hard to imagine Chicago without Lamm’s 25 or 6 to 4 being a staple for 50 years now.
Pure Classic Chicago. Pure joy. I love it.
Someone in the comments referred Peter as the muse, that's very accurate. All the members who wrote songs and wanted them to be hits, wrote the songs with Peter in mind. Who else could deliver them and make them hits.
Magnificent Masterpiece
Terry Kath Chicago was Absolutely Transcending....
Interesting seeing Terry Kath play bass on this one.
I wish Rebecca was here that song what Does My Heart a little bit too hard and Debbie too that song is amazing especially the keyboard thing that freaks out
Pankow's comments were not necessary before the song and video started. Glad to hear someone in the band told him to "shut-up." He is so damn egotistical.
Yes he is and always has been way too much to take. The horns are great but without Peter Cetera's voice to compliment that, things would have been quite different.
Maybe people think the same about you. Whenever you dislike something about someone, check yourself for the same trait.
To THIS DAY, Pankow is an OBNOXIOUS show off!
@@tonyde52 I agree 100%.
@@reginaboudreau5457 Without the horn section Chicago wouldn't have been the same.
Was also not the same without Peter
Thank You Chicago Transit Authority for sharing your great talents. Thanks for this post, great memories ;)
I've always imagined myself drowning in the pool of love.
Despite everything else.. Terry should have been playing the guitar here... Sure pete wrote the song.. but the playing here just sucked.. and Pete should have been playing bass.. In the studio its a different thing.. Like the song Beginnings Robert could play it and did often after Terry passed... but while Terry was alive, he played the guitar and it was a work of genius..
Pete Cetera era o solista mor da banda e continua a fazer sucesso, já velho. Terry Kath e Robert Lamm também são excelentes. Cantei muitos sucessos da banda Chicago, de 1973 a 1976, na noite paulista, aqui no Brasil.
Peter, your mic is unidirectional. Sing INTO it.
When CETARA Had this first #1...His EGO Started To Take Over THIS INCREDIBLE BAND! That's what I'm seeing in this and subsequent CHICAGO Albums! LAMM, KATH, PANKOW, MADE THIS BAND...They Were Harder Edged, most of the time! The Tragic Loss of TERRY KATH is what Cetera Used to "Take Over"...To the Ridiculous Degree of eventually bringing in OUSIDE Songwriters! Wish They had found SHEFF From the Start! HE Had a Much Less " ANNOYING Voice & Personality! (Just my humble opinion.😎)
Happy birthday Terry. 1/31 /23. RIP
Swoon ~ Chicago first live concert I ever saw ~ I was a kid maybe 14 they came to Vancouver PNE ~ fell in love
what an excellent voice!!
Terry playing Bass 😉
