    Very enjoyable. But honestly if you want to hear how the guitar solo is really done, watch Chicago live at Tanglewood July 21, 1970, here on UA-cam. Terry Kath plays one of the greatest lead solos ever on this song. It still gives me goosebumps!😋😋

      Some very bad answers here. Arguably the most signature member of the band is still there. Robert Lamm, who wrote not only this song, but is both the writer and the lead singer of Saturday In The Park, Beginnings, and Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is, has been there the entire time.

    Singer sang sharp. He was off. If you want to hear this as it was meant to be? The Tanglewood version from 1970 was FAR superior to this...not because it's old...because it's just musically better. Trust me.

      He actually goes sharp on some of the hold notes. Probably from pushing too hard.
