    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 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.

  • @MikeCoggan

    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)

    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.

  • @jeffaube
    @jeffaube 2 роки тому +5

    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.

    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.

    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

      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 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.

      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.
