Early Chicago was so great. Things changed when Terry Kath passed away.
Definatly Terry Kath was such talent! A sad deal what drugs and alcohol does to people, BUT WE CAN SEE THAT RUSSIAN COVER BAND , LEONID AND FRIENDS DO CHICAGO BETTER THAN CHICAGO
Chicago was only Chicago when its heartbeat, Terry Kath, was alive. They are great individual musicians, but they lost their focus when he was gone. Terry was all heat, soul and grit. In his wake was a soulless ballad band. Rockin’ Chicago died with Terry. But their first 7 albums were 🔥!
I complete disagree. They changed after Terry died but the band did not die. They went on & created great material & attracted a whole new generation of listener. Been listening to Chicago since 1970 & I love all their music
@@zgfit They haven't done anything worthwhile since he died.
My absolute all time favorite Chicago song. The interplay of Terry and Peter's voices and their instruments is incredible, and the lyrics are as spot on as they were in the 1960's. One of the great songs of that or any era. Thanks.
Thanks for being here John!
Those lyrics speak volumes. Too bad everyone is so divided these days that they can't even see the other side. I wonder if these issues Terry brings up really DID weigh heavy on his mind. We need more of this today. ✌
Thank you! Everytime I see more money being sent overeas for "that guy's" proxy war, I think of that Peter Cetera line: "Well, I hope the President
knows what he's into, I don't know.
Oh, I just don't know."
I hope people are seeing what's going on now in the world and what has been going on for a very long time in what Terry was saying yet everyone looked at it as everything is fine because they are numb and unconscious to everything as well as we have all been programmed since the 1950s. Time to wake up folks, we are going through the Great Awakening and removing the veil from our eyes because earth is ascending as are humanity. If you don't know what I'm talking about, see the movie Sound of Freedom and then start digging into what all that means. It's real.
I have interpreted this differently than most. When Terry sings "thank you for the talk....really eased my mind" I take it as dripping with sarcasm - because Peter's lines are very self-centered, making him immuned to others needs, besides he wants to keep a steady high (not that there is anything wrong with that)
Interesting take Mike, thanks!
Exactly.
Spot on from my reading of the song
Excactly!
That’s how I see it too. The viewpoint expressed by Peter is in a bubble of privilege, etc.
Robert Lamm was writing highly political songs at this point. The band's second album liner notes ,written by him,dedicated the album, and the band to "the people of the revolution and the revolution in all its forms". Lots of influence from the incidents at the Chicago Democratic Convention and the Yippie movement. On a musical note,for me, this era,the Terry Kath one, was the real Chicago.Before the ballad hand of Peter Cetera held sway.
And Rolling Stone magazine doesn’t even include Terry Kath in their list of Top 100 best guitarist ? That’s nothing short of criminal.
rolling stone may have sold big but it was music journalism garbage...
Their list is meaningless. Yours and mine are the ones that count. 😊❤
This was originally released on Chicago V, the Woodcut album cover.
When Chicago was signed to a record contract, they already had 6 completed albums. They decided to release 3 double albums. Amazing albums, with no fillers. ,
No filler until X I would say. "You Get it up" 🙄
Wood Chicago (V) in the house! 🙌🏻
Ayeee
Saw them in 1972 and 2004. And they are still at it! Terry Kath was irreplaceable and we still miss him.
As a young teenager in '72 who was into Chicago... I absolutely wore this song out. And at the time I really believed "we could make it happen".
What a way to end tlhe day! This is a real treat! I love seeing them sing it live. The dialogue was pretty much on point. I love the play between their voices. Thanks for this one!
We’re glad you enjoyed Keedeeg!
Robert Lamm is now singing this song with Neil Donell on the current tour. I was lucky enough to see their first concert this year in Vegas in the middle of February! ❤️
How cool!
@@SightAfterDark Probably sounds pretty good!
Wow, it’s been a longass minute since I’ve heard this one. Always was struck by that line, “when it’s time to function as a feeling human being, will your bachelor or arts help you get by?” Great stuff.
One thing that strikes me about this track is how it shows how Terry’s guitar approach changed over the years. On the earlier albums, there’s that strong melodic sense with what I think of as a killer classic guitar tone, but here the tone is more distorted and he seems to be going more for feel than melody. When I saw Chicago for the third and last time (with Terry), they were promoting Chicago VIII and he really took this almost electronic/grungy sound to an extreme. Ahead of his time, as usual.
RIP to one of the greats!
Greatness.
A new Chicago tour with opener Brian Wilson has just been announced.
I've seen Chicago many times in concert and the Beach Boys but l'm thinking that this might be my last chance to see either one of them again, sooo 🤔hmm
@@emilymartinez6961 if you get the chance, go see them. Still a very good show. Three original members are still performing: Robert Lamm, Lee Loughnane and James Pankow.
Wowwww 🔥!!
@@davidpaxton3590 Walter Parazaider,original saxophonist and flautist,who helped found Chicago recently left the band due to various health issues.
@@jeromewade4110 yes, I know.
Chicago 5. "Wood Chicago!"
The use of the WaWa peddle was amazing here!
Look on YT for some of the isolated versions of PtII. No vocals, no keys, no horns. There is some serious Power trio stuff buried under the horns. Also, Cetera's bass work is very, very underrated.
What a great song!! Haven’t heard this in years. So unique. A dialogue between two differing points of view yet they come off thanking each other for the conversation. There were so many amazing and thoughtful protest songs that came out of the 70s, some with an angry call to action (Ohio, Fortunate Son) and others with positive, people-centric perspectives. This kind of embodies both. Great comments from y’all, too.
Thanks for sharing SFbayareagirl!
Wood Chicago (V) is an amazing piece of art.
Chicago V (Wood Chicago) was pretty much Robert Lamm's album (from a song writing point of view - same with Transit Authority, their first album). Only 'Now That You've Gone' (James Pankow - trombonist) and 'Alma Mater' (Terry Kath) were not Robert Lamm compositions. This was their first single-record album. The first three were doubles and Chicago IV (Live at Carnegie Hall) was a quadruple album. Like your reactions. Cheers, Tim
Thanks so much Tim!
This is the perfect Chicago album.
This song is a masterclass in rhythm section improv perfection! Danny, Peter, Terry...perfect!
As a kid Chicago V was the first album I ever bought. I wanted it because I liked "Saturday in the Park" but once I played this album and her songs like "Dialogue" "State of the Union." and "Now That You've Gone" I became a Chicago fan for life.
Have the album. Since it came out. They were great.
Was listening to this in 74’ when it came out as Chicago was the first concert I attended then. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have pleasant memories of 'Wood' Chicago. My first time experiencing them live at old Fulton County Stadium in ATL. With Steely Dan ( !?!) as the opening act. I do wish this song wasn't as relevant to-day as it was then.
I saw them with Steely Dan, but in Columbus, OH, and it was Steely Dan opening for Chicago. If I were being honest, Steely Dan was not a very good live act at the time... meaning they sucked. They couldn't really pull off their immaculate sound outside of the studio, in large arenas. Chicago had no such problem.
I always thought this song described the transition from 60s counterculture to 70s me generation.
Yea… Vietnam war, watergate, Kent State, war on poverty, riots, Woodstock… those were the days…
It's Chicago 5.
Such a great and meaningful tune that we all should live by and care about one another👍🏻❤️✌🏻
Early Chicago songs were laced with changes. One of the bands that could equal or surpass in that category is Ambrosia.
CHICAGO, "DIALOGUE PARTS 1 AND 2..." This became my favorite song by the Soulful voice of Terry Kath. Chicago V.. Robert Lamb writer, of many songs 🎵 By those early, and Best songs...
Saw them when they were stilled called CTA. First few albums were their best.
A great piece of the Chicago catalogue. Nice bit of songwriting using the "dialogue" format.
(Cat Stevens... Father and son)
(Harry Chapin... Taxi, Cats in the Cradle)
Was amazing listening to it live the night of my 16th birthday at Varsity Stadium in Toronto ... So many birthdays ago.
Muito obrigado amigos para bom música....
*So tomorrow morning, search the net for Lighthouse (Canadian band)
One Fine Morning and I guarantee that as lovers of hot brass sections
they will wake you up.
P.S.
Liked the most recent of your stuff by the way... Keep up putting it out!
Thanks for sharing David and thanks so much for your support ❤️!
brilliant - try introduction
What needs to be said? Chicago with Terry. I'm all the damn way in. And maybe we can. We'll see, I s'pose. G'night, g'morning as the case may be.
love Chicago, this song is there staple of there (before being a love song ballad band), the lyrics the music just the best !
If you guys love some Chicago, please react to Leonidas and Friends doing 25 or 6 to 4, Old Days, Saturday in the Park or any of their other covers. They are from Russia and are musically so tight it's ridiculous. Their voices aren't to bad either especially considering the language barrier!
I read where jimi Hendrix said that Terry Kath was the best guitarist .
It's wood Chicago. Chicago V.
🥰Thanks Karen!
Wood Chicago...
This is Chicago's Swan Song!!!!!!!
You made it happen. Yeah. Peace
We used to read in Australian newspapers stories from the USA in the 70's...Many of those news stories on Reuters were another world away and you know you can not bare the weight of all things so you become indifferent.
I will tell you I use to tell the young lads listening to rap that they misinterpreted the message and they were manifesting a ''gangsters paradise...and when it arrives you will wish it never came.
Now our newspapers are full of murder stories and horror social events that were a world away.
What is the serenity prayer ...''wisdom the know the difference about what you can change and what you can't..''
You can not carry the whole cross and if you turn your back you become a rock...a hardened person with no empathy and the truth of the matter is...,right now is probably the best it has been in all human affairs in our historical remembrance.
This songs kicks some a_s!!!!
My favorite Chicago song 🎶… from Chicago V
I have that exact color Les Paul Studio sitting right next to me. Excellent guitar. ❤
Rock on!
Kath was an exceptionally fine guitarist
He was amazing!
David Foster did Chicago a dis- service. He focused on ballads that would get in the pop charts. There's nothing wrong with those songs, but the roots of the band are so much deeper.
I watched a documentary about him and he said, I'm known as the man who ruined Chicago.
Without Foster, Chicago would have been done. Love or hate it, Foster/Cetera saved Chicago from oblivion.
I just feel Chicago had to change after Terry died. I love the songs in 80’s & 70’s. It had to change otherwise a band becomes irrelevant. I loved Peter Ceteras voice in any song
@@beatapt5 good point
Jimi Hendrix made this band famous for a reason.
sleep well, America. Mr. Burns is your president.
😂sure is
@@SightAfterDark Disappointed that you, as the host, are going political. I've enjoyed your channel for your love and passion for music and absence of the political, divisive language.😒
Robert Lamm of Chicago and composer of Dialogue, calls Trump an A-hole.
"We always do “Dialogue,” but lately we’ve been playing “It Better End Soon” which…I forgot how intense that was, and the way it’s being performed now, it really gets the audience. I mean, you get a lump in your throat, and we’re using visuals behind that, like we do with “Dialogue,” and people are commenting on it. We’re in such trouble in this country, and the world. There’s so much disarray that people are just searching and longing to hear someone else say, “Yes, it’s bad and it’s got to get better.” And that’s really unfortunate. One of the kids who was murdered in Florida played trombone and loved Chicago, loved playing “25 or 6 to 4”; We didn’t preach or anything; We just dedicated that night’s performance to Alex Schachter and that’s all you can do right now. But I really applaud all the high school students who are taking it to Washington, ’cause something’s got to change. Maybe this president inadvertently is doing us a favor by being such an asshole that we’re trying to do it sooner rather than later.
@@davidpaxton3590 Hi David, don’t take us so seriously. We’re just poking fun. We’ve made fun of conservatives in the past, as well as liberals.
The world is so screwed up, if you can’t laugh, you’ll just end up depressed.
As far as we’re concerned, the ability to make fun of anybody we want is a big part of what freedom is, and there are millions of people around the world that would cherish that opportunity.
If a joke presents itself, we’re gonna take it 😇
As always, thanks for watching!
@@SightAfterDark Thanks, appreciate it.
We can make it hap🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Take notice of the conversation/lyrics between the two... I'd like to point out that Terry's character could see there WAS/is a problem where Peter's couldn't/wouldn't. Without acknowledging there IS a problem, nothing gets fixed!!! Too many Peters in this world and not enough people listening/believing Terry's clear, honest, CORRECT perspective. But... I don't think this point, as true as it is... will change a Fool's mind/heart.
this female is mailing it in. second such comment on her and i stand behind it
as a boomer i am sorry to say even with the encouragement of this song, we did not make it happen. War Starvation still prevail we were supposed to fix that
Dialogue was off their first album and known back then in 1969 as Chicago Transit Authority. Best album.
Yup, Chicago V - The "Mahogany Album". Side 1, songs 4&5 on my turntable
ROBERT LAMM!!
Noooo!!! Ahhhh.... you cut off the ending, which is essential to this groove. The closing chorus ends abruptly with, " We can make it hap."
That's the way it was recorded.
@victorjohnston1529 The original recording was, yes. He stopped it before the ending, as they originally recorded it, is what I mean.
Others might have mentioned it already, but (1) one voice is overly positive, and one is overly flip and negative, (2) the jam picks up after they both agree they got something from hearing each other, (3) and last, y’all stopped it early because it’s a cold stop in the middle of a measure…as if to say the coming together has to continue with us.
very relevant to todays political climate in America, a song for future generations, god help America, we have a facist problem
Something like this is always relevant somewhere in the world
@@SightAfterDark right but my point is specifically aimed at America, thanks for the input though
@@andrewwentz4459 Facts. Appreciate you being here Andrew!
This was Chicago Terry cath añd Peter cetera was Chcicago dont care too much for the new chicago
V
FIVE
Thumbs down for cutting it off before the end. It was obvious you were anxious to stop it because you kept checking the time left. Stop doing that.
Lol it’s all good buddy. We check the time so we can pause the video before an ad pops up. Nobody wants that
@@SightAfterDark 🤣
Ended that way on the LP version Buddy. :D
@@jhnstn1 - I know how the song ends. They cut it off before the true ending.
