Ladies and gents, this here track features one of Peter Cetera's most amazing (and, possibly, his most Jazzy of) bass lines, and that's saying a lot. THANK YOU for sharing this!! When were Super Audio CDs released of these classic albums? I own the only two DVD-Audio albums that Rhino released (Chicago II and V), but the SACDs escaped my notice. I have spent years trying to find a way to isolate Peter's bass lines, so your uploads are deeply appreciated. "Goodbye" is one of my all-time favorite Chicago songs. Killer vocals by Cetera, in addition to the monster bass line.
Same with me this is my favorite tune from the album, i always wished this song closed out the album. I cant remember where i saw but someone asked former drummer Danny Seraphine his favorite Chicago songs and this was one of them.
I read the same interview, Rocky B! Seraphine named "Beginnings," "Poem for the People," and "Goodbye" as his three favorite Chicago tunes -- all Robert Lamm compositions. Great selections, in my opinion!
Thank You i knew i saw it somewhere, now when i got to sit down with Danny back in the fall in 2013 i did not know of this. I was just about to ask him about Poem For The People but his phone rang or something. Had i known it was in his top three we would have had a little more to talk about. Back in the day for fun and it did not sound good i used to play Poem For The People on the acoustic guitar as best i could. I was able to get the sound of the opening Horn Riffs pretty close.
This is an isolated track, not the full song, but it's from Chicago V, which came out a year before VI. (It's an amazing album if you haven't heard it!)
+Gregoryt700 Guessing: and surely incomplete, but: Sounds like 6 in the intro, 7 when bass comes in at 1:05 to introduce and during Pete's vocals, no firggin clue ;) at 3:19-3:25 (free time?), common time (4 or 8?) at "Feel so good to be soaring..." then back to 6 at "The days and the nights..." and once again no clue in the outro (free time?)
I agree that Peter Cetera is the most underrated bass player in rock - as Danny Seraphine is the most underrated drummer in rock and jazz.
Most underrated in every category.
Chicago V had some of the best bass lines on all of their albums.
This song is one of the best.
The bass is bad ass here
Second to none. Peter was n still is the best
Cetera’s bass playing is world class. Unmistakable voice, instantly recognizable. He has every reason to call his own shots.
As big as he is, he could and should've been as famous as Sinatra.

This song scared me. Were they breaking up? It was quite sometime before Chicago VI.

I cant believe how good this song is played written and sung. Thank you for the post! I love it!
Can anyone tell me what time signature(s) this song is in? Can't figure it out
+Gregoryt700 Starts 6/8, then goes to 7/8 for the verse. Then straight time for the "chorus" section... back to 6/8, etc.
