The heartbeat of any band is the drummer, and when they fired Danny, they killed their own beat !!
I think so！！From TOKYO
Spot on
Danny was SO important to Chicago.
I’m so happy to see Danny and Bill up there together! Danny is like a fine wine. He’s more handsome today. Actually the guys that have left Chicago are more talented than the 3 left.
I have seen better Chicago tribute bands that are more 'real' than the current lineup of Chicago today
I’m a huge CHICAGO fan. I grew up in Wisconsin and lived within 90 miles of 3 major music festivals, outdoor concert venues and arenas. When Chicago would be on their Summer tours, I could see them 2 or 3 times during the tour. Over the last 5 decades now, starting in the mid to late 70s, I’ve seen the group live 130 times. I was a drummer in High School, and Danny was my idol. Couldn’t get enough. I can remember when he introduced his programmed drumming. I mean, having his drums tuned to the melody as he also incorporated the rhythm was cool to hear and watch. If you watch the most recent Chicago history DVD, Pankow mentions it. he wasn’t a fan of it. If you watch some of the Bill Champlin interviews on UA-cam, he talks about wanting to mix up the Chicago hits arrangements, but the band principals would not have any of it. So, the inflexibility of the Chicago original members to change is why you see both of these talents out of Chicago. Don’t get me wrong, just having the ability to reproduce what is played on the album is a talent in and of itself. Most of the current artists can’t recreate the synthesized, auto tuned crap they put out. This music will live on regardless of who is in the band.

I just stumbled upon this video and only into the song “Make Me Smile” and was impressed by the playing & singing of Bill Champlin. He’s a master of keyboards and of course the legendary Danny Sep on drums ! Still incredible and hasn’t lost his chops ! If I could’ve seen Chicago live with either Peter Cetera or with his replacement Jason . So far a good video.
Great job Bill, Danny, and band!! This may sound strange but your music was “music to my nostalgic ears.”
Danny and his California Transit Authorities Band are simply amazing - he took the Chicago sound and gave it an extra dash of soul - the perfect recipe - plus Danny is a great person - truly the man!
Great to hear and see Danby and bill together again
Bills unique voice mixed with Jason was what made Chicago so special during that Era of Chicago music
Duh!!
@@donjoseph73 Duh what?
@@Dboys122 duh ya! Of course but you forgot DB in the mix mad it fkn awesome!!
Fantastic what a great drummer.
Danny is amazing on the drums. He really made the Chicago sound better!
The front man who’s the free-handed vocalist would make a great tenor vocalist for Chicago should that spot ever come open again.
Danny was right about the sound in the Hall, also the sound engineer did a great job of mix, the instruments are crisp
and the vocals great, nothing drowning out any thing. I'm listening on a Lap Top and never had a concert sound so good.
Danny and bill are great as always
was anyone mixing this, Danny smokin job man , nice to hear it played freely
🤣
It's a shame Chicago never performed "In the Country" during Champlin's tenure with the band because he nails it here
Thanks for the love and support you showered on me, it's been a wonderful year having fans like you solidly behind me This is just a private page for talking to close friends and families because I get thousands on messages on my official page and important messages get loss in there and this is my way of saying thank you to the people who brought me this far. I hope you never stop listening to my music.. you seem to be a very nice person from you comment... Do you have a big heart? Are you honest and caring, loving person..
If yes I will like to know more about you just send me an email on billchamplin58@gmail.com God bless you
This is more Chicago than Chicago . KILLER. My goodness...
Hahaha you right Steven
Nah too messy rubbish
@@rosiemorgan7573 The mix isn't that great on this recording. Drum mic volumes are iffy at times too.
Mr. Seraphine still sounds amazing. What a treat.
Great concert!
This music will live on forever.
Definitely... Danny IS THE CHICAGO DRUMMER! Neither Tris Imboden or any other.... Danny must return to Chicago for the good of the band. Danny's beat and style is unique, immortal.... Robert Lam: What the fuck are you waiting for to call him? It's been more than 30 years, the wounds are healed... Come on!
Wow, what a show. I absolutely love that they could do all that blistering early rock and blues stuff but were not too cool to do You're The Inspiration and do it great.
Champlin's voice is still really strong considering he's in his mid 70's here. They sound great. Better than what Chicago tries to attempt now. Everything is crisper and cleaner here compared to Chicago now. And the harmony is way better. Chicago needs a lead tenor that has a powerful clear voice like the guy here. The guy they have now is not that great.
Vu de France... que de souvenirs me reviennent.
Thank you
So glad to see Danny's still got the groove!
Thanks for this! :-)
Would be nice if we could come together to cure cancer like we did covid.
Why would anyone cut up “Introduction” ??? ESPECIALLY Danny
CHICAGO Jr.! 📯🎺🥁🎹🎸🎙⛄☃️❄
Danny Seraphine, Bill Champlin - Chicago!Forever))
Ooh yeah guys it’s a great grove love you keep up you doing a great thing as long as you guys preform we will be listing ok you are great once agin love it also can we hear some of your stuff ok
Danny le dio el sonido y el groove a CHICAGO todos los musicos incluidos todos los integrantes del grupo tuvieron momentos con nivel muy bajo , estan los videos , despues de la muerte de TERRY nunca mas sonaron igual . este grupo es lo mejor de la musica de Chicago felicitaciones , el guitar Marc sobresaliente
Danny never sounded so great!
Absolutely awsome.
beautiful its ike a second chicago,...loij danny can be buts but he is the very best drummer chicago ever had
Peter Cetera should be a guest vocal with these guys sometime.
Tight!
Very good!
there are good reasons Chicago is so damn hard to cover, the vocals of Kath and Cetera are unique,same goes for each member, Kath licks are very hard to reproduce, their music is very complex to play and Champlin vocal riffin is just overboard, this lead singer gives off no chicago sound vibe at all, lead guitar takes alot of shortcuts on solo's as well as the brass section. Man if your gonna do chicago you just cant do that crap, you have to slay it note for note and give it the respect it deserves. Danny can still play and was the best drummer they ever had. Some of the vocals were even painfull to the ear...sorry guys. If you want to hear a great Chicago cover band check out Leonid and Friends there from Russia and to boot live is almost as good as the studio songs
Why is the sound so bad?
Sounds noisy. The players are probably good but it doesn't sound like it here.
"The phone dropped the call!"
I thought they were going to come to a stop on You’re the Inspiration. Tempo slow on a few songs making them a bit boring. But how can you critique legends like Danny and Bill?
I need a drummer to explain to me why I think Danny is better suited for Chicago's sound. There is something with the sound of his snare drum.
He's the best drummer Chicago has ever had. Still is... The snare doesn't sound too far off from most live shows nowadays. On record, it's a completely different story. In the 70s (and before), the drums had a nice organic sound. Now, it's all electronic, "drum machine", and engineered and produced really awful. The snare was SO loud and phony sounding (trying to be epic.... on every song) starting in the 80s. Now, it's way too loud in the mix and the vocals are so low in the mix (no great modern singers out there).
Not impressed. A cover band. Champlain’s singing is distracting. Glad Danny has a space to perform. Why would they cut Introduction?
Chicago murió junto con Terry Kath!!!
No Danny... No Chicago, sorry! 😎
Champin is too much....
Champlin
He’s killer
Good voices...too much ad libbing Sounds dumb
I’m sure Danny was a pretty good drummer but he can’t hold a candle to Tris
Wow, Tris was never half the drummer Danny was. He changed how every single song was played and it lost a lot of impact to me. Danny is the man that created the drum parts for Chicago. Nobody has a better feel for playing the music of Chicago than Danny does.
Danny is more of a jazz style drummer. Tris is more rock style. I believe Danny's style is more in line with Chicago's sound.
@@Jayhawk84
In the early years yes. But as the music changed in the early 80’s, his jazz style didn’t fit the new style.
@@tjrox I don’t see one bit of overplaying at all, through this.
@@matte2160
Listen to hiss bass drum. Too much syncopation for straight songs. I call it “Busy Footing” as a bass player I don’t like drummers who has a busy bass drum foot. Again, for the early stuff where they were kinda Jazz-Rock it was ok.
Danny is an awesome drummer. Got to see him in the early seventies with the original Chicago lineup and was blown away. I also got to see him later without Terry Kath. His guitar playing was greatly missed but they were still awesome.
Thinking better, all these years, Bill Champlin's voice was and keeps brilliant like Peter Cetera's... Both are amazing singers, with same talent!
Yikes when I saw this concert was over 2 hours and then I saw how long Bill played lead guitar at the end of Look Away (to prove a point...??) I got it.
So as we all know Chicago was told many years ago that Chicago Transit Authority name couldn’t be used so I decided to call the band for this particular performance The Cancer Team Authority. It really fits for the occasion doesn’t it ✌️❤️🎵🎶🎼🔥🔥🔥😂
I’d go and see this band over and above the official Chicago contingency; they nail it 100% and look like they actually like each other, unlike the other bunch who look like a bunch of old men going through the motions. As an added note, it seems Bill & Jason (yes I know is he’s not here) have improved ten-fold since leaving Chicago.
Yawn...
This vocalist does`nt quite cut it. Too much Motown not enough soul.
Chicago meets Tower of Power.
Tight.
keren videonya deh! :)) :))
Man !!! is the same Chicago that played in the late 60s and 70s and beyond I guess so ? . it sounds like they have still Danny n bill original members can't recall all of them. but I do recall CTA they were a high driven high energy group back in the day it's good hear cha still playing. was surprised they were still playing glad. they sound good time flies flies ✌
Pretty amazing to hear these songs played with excitement and spirit. Not perfect of course, but very enjoyable. Great to see Danny and Bill together.
Amazing how this band makes all of this "their own!"
Bill ✅ Danny ✅
Danny is amazing!
Para mi siempre fue el mejor
Danny is a brilliant drummer! I enjoyed this video so much. ❤
Thank you for sharing your feelings with us, we're so happy you enjoyed!
Danny was a big influence on this now 64 year drummer!
Here's the thought. Do not let Bill Champlin anywhere near my microphone.. The man never met a song he couldn't oversing.
I would like to take a shot at the lead singer here, I’m ready!!!! Love this music, born on west side in Austin neighborhood and cut my teeth on Chicago and the city of broad shoulders, froze and sweat and love my Chicago!!!! Let’s do this
Nope. Just nope.
Any original song not Chicago perforamance?
