I got to see the Original Chicago 3 times back then. They were fantastic, but we did not even know how good they were at the time. There were so many great groups making music it was hard to appreciate just one. The music was interwoven into the culture. We were standing up for our lives, freedoms and rights together, united. The music was a part of the total package of our lives then.
The title isn't an "amount" of questions. The song was written (by keyboardist Robert Lamm) in 1968 about the major questions of the years, 1967 and 1968. In regard to his relationship at the time. "Can you tell me, please don't tell me," is something we all go through, I think--particularly in regard to relationships. As in, "this feels so special, but what will happen if we try to define it? Will that ruin the magic?" I have loved this song since I was a child (and yes, I remember when it was a minor hit -- I'm that old). You're right, it's just a big ole bucket full of awesomeness coming at you. You're keen to point to those horn change-ups. That sort of horn sound was ubiquitous in the 70s, mainly due to these amazing college friends from the Windy City.
Questions 67 and 68 was off the band's first album and was released as a single in 1969 and became the band's first single to hit the Billboard chart. It was only a minor hit at the time. The band's next charting single, Make Me Smile, which was taken from their second album, cracked the top 10 and peaked at #9. The next single, the iconic 25 or 6 to 4, did even better and peaked at #4 and established the band as a major act. Once they had success with those two singles, they started going back to the first album for more single releases. Their next single, Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?, was taken from the first album and it too made Billboard's top ten. In 1971, the band re-released Questions 67 and 68 as a single with I'm a Man as the B side and both songs became substantial hits for the band.
The original Chicago sound as opposed to the overproduced power ballads of the 1980's. 1968-1978 when the horns were dominant and Terry Kath was a total wizard on guitar.
I love her fun and intense reactions. She has a great sense of music, and I don't know her background, but she can certainly walk-the-walk with the music - melody, harmony, and rhythm she picks up instantly what most other people nod their way through and miss entirely. She must have been a performer at some point in her young life.
Chicago is, IMHO, the best band ever. They have obviously gone through many personnel changes but to me they are still THE band. The loss of Terry Kath was monumental but they have always maintained being a band which caused the departure of Peter Cetera. Early Chicago is still my favorite but the 80s and 90s were still great. Ive seen them in concert a few times but never in the 70s so missed TK. I took my now 3 adult daughters to see them when they were younger and they still remember the great time they had. 😊
Chicago was my parents favorite Band. They saw Chicago in Concert at over a dozen times. I use to listen to my mom's 8-Tracks and she had all of Chicago's Greatest Hits.
This is the Transit Authority album , it was a double album , my aunt bought it for me for my birthday ( cost her about the same as a tank of gas too!) it had the hits like Does anyone know what time it is, but also alit of experimental stuff, and at that time the name of the band technically was the Chicago Transit Authority or CTA ( which was on the album cover) but the real Chicago Transit Authority complained so the band shortened the name to chicago
If you know Chicago like you said, you will love this cover band that specializes in doing Chicago songs plus others. Check out "Leonid & Friends". Do the ones in the studio. They are great and are from Russia and are touring the states now.
If u like Chicago first 3 double albums u may want to try some of blood,sweat and tears music as well.yuo make me so very happy,two versions of God bless the child original with billie holiday and the b s& t cover
Terry Kath is 2nd only to SRV as the greatest rock/blues guitarist to ever live. You should check out "Beginnings" or "I'm a man" to hear him sing. He was nicknamed the White Ray Charles.
"Beginnings" lead vocals were by keyboard player Robert Lamm. The opening track "Introduction" was sung by Terry Kath. And "I'm A Man", a cover of the Spencer Davis Group's song, had all three lead vocalists, Kath, Cetera, and Lamm in order. Kath was an absolute BEAST on guitar, Hendrix said Kath was better than Jimi himself.
If I remember correctly it was about Robert lamm’s girlfriend wanting to know about getting married in each of the years 1967 and 1968, but it’s been so long ago that I read about it I could be wrong, and this is my favorite Chicago song
My wife an I have been married 53 year This is our song because every day is just the beginning of our marriage .. Chicago - Beginnings - 7/21/1970 - Tanglewood (Official),,, as you listen to it thing about your husband with each words

@@rubroken Singing is def better on the album version. I just love watching the old bands live cause I don't think we can get the same quality from current groups, generally, w/o electronic help

Hello, Britt. I graduated high school in 1975 and Chicago was one of my favorite bands. It's nice to see younger people like yourself appreciating the music. I have a question. Why do the videos look like you are watching them through a rainy window? Have a wonderful week.
Check out "Feeling stronger every Day, "Does anybody Really know what Time It Is" and "Colour My World." It's a beautiful song. I saw Chicago in concert in the 70s. They sound great live. The late 60s were a very turbulent time. I was 13 years old in 1968 and I can remember seeing the Vietnam war images on the news. Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King were also killed in 1968 and there were riots in the cities.
❤❤❤ you want a PDC moment I have one for you I partially saw Chicago back in 1971 this was at a theme park when you paid admission and the concert went along with it let's just say things got heated I will leave it at that you are the bomb diggity of reactions Hollaback Girl
You should listen to the original version and really hear the dynamics of a well mixed piece of music. The version you are listening to has brought peices out of balance. When the guitar came in the horns were pushed back into the back. Please give a listen to the original un-edited version.
Hey Britt ... looking stunning as always!!! Need to check out HOME FREE American Pie ft. Don McLean when you get a chance. Thanks for making my and I am sure everyone's day awesome !!! Hugs! Love ya! 😁🥰🥰

So good!
Can we just appreciate Danny Serraphine ? Just incredible drummer who never gets mentioned as a great one

Early Chicago was the best. Great song.
That’s why they are one of my favorite bands!!! Magnificent!!😅
The original Chicago sound as opposed to the overproduced power ballads of the 1980's. 1968-1978 when the horns were dominant and Terry Kath was a total wizard on guitar.
I just went past those songs as they still produced Chicago 70s style music then but the masses wanted "that" music and it made them money.
When Terry died so did the heart and soul of Chicago
I love her fun and intense reactions. She has a great sense of music, and I don't know her background, but she can certainly walk-the-walk with the music - melody, harmony, and rhythm she picks up instantly what most other people nod their way through and miss entirely.

What other band debuted with a double album, then followed up with their next two albums being double as well?
@@keensoundguy6637 Then followed up with a FOUR LP box set Live at Carnegie Hall! Chicago VII was another double-LP.
We saw them live with the Doobie Brothers they were phenomenal.
I was a long time horn player and when I was 19 Chicago came out with the debut Album “ CTA “ amazing. Still my favorites Album
Terry Kath was an amazing guitarist that died to soon.
Once Terry Kath died, I never thought that Chicago was as good as before his death.
"Dialouge" is another great Chicago track you might enjoy.
Ebb and flow: the way in which the level of something regularly becomes higher or lower in a situation.
I am 71 and still think Chicago was and is one of the greatest bands of all time. I miss the brass sections in modern music that we had back then
Blood, Sweat and Tears had the horns too.
Britt is frickin hilarious
Chicago was my parents favorite Band. They saw Chicago in Concert at over a dozen times. I use to listen to my mom's 8-Tracks and she had all of Chicago's Greatest Hits.
I’ve seen Chicago 3x in concert. They are Amazing! The horns, the vocals, they don’t miss a beat.
My first ever concert at The Stectrum in Philly, unbelievable sound
Great reaction Britt! I love this song!
Ebb and flow is exactly what you were saying. I miss the times when people actually played instruments...
This is the Transit Authority album , it was a double album , my aunt bought it for me for my birthday ( cost her about the same as a tank of gas too!) it had the hits like Does anyone know what time it is, but also alit of experimental stuff, and at that time the name of the band technically was the Chicago Transit Authority or CTA ( which was on the album cover) but the real Chicago Transit Authority complained so the band shortened the name to chicago
This is in my top 3 Chicago songs!! Thanks for reacting to it! Another Rainy Day in New York City is another of my faves!
The '67 and '68 refer to the years in which the questions were asked.
Nice. We're moving on past the fast food of rock and into some gourmet dining! Whoo Hoo!
Great comment. I’m gonna have a seat at the table.
Rock on!
The slowing down is something the modern drum machines don't do. The ebb and flow of naturally made music has an organic appeal.

Terry Kath... The greatest guitarist !!!!!!! No modern day amps and effects!!!!! Imagine what he would sound like in today's guitar effects !!!!!
Chicago, it's always been great Summertime music 😎
You got that right!
it's 4.34 in the afternoon I'm just waking up.. rough night in the studio. It reminded me of another Chicago 25 or 6 to 4..I can relate 😮
❤🐰🐰🐰🎅🎅 and oh yeah Merry Christmas
Don't hear this song much.Great early Chicago!
Your hair is beautiful!
Thank you!!

They are on the Mt Rushmore of American music - along with The Eagles and The Beach Boys. 4th would be Fleetwood Mac or Skynyrd (LOVE Van Halen, too)
My wife an I have been married 53 year This is our song because every day is just the beginning of our marriage .. Chicago - Beginnings - 7/21/1970 - Tanglewood (Official),,, as you listen to it thing about your husband with each words
I'd love to see you react to U2 "Bad - live at live aid". It's an iconic performance, and launched U2 into the stratosphere.
I’ll give it a look!
Should watch them sing "25 or 6 to 4" live from Tanglewood. Amazing. Also, "I'm a Man" from same concert
It's great to see Terry Kath doing his magic, but honestly, I love the album version better
Added!

True, if she wasn't married we would be an "item"...
You're the best!
I’m probably so late commenting this won’t be seen, but, check out Leonid and Friends cover. There is no replacing Chicago, but they do a good job.
Can you react to either situations by escape the fate or I’m not a vampire by falling in reverse?
? Nobody wants to comment a "69" joke ?
Without Peter Cetera singing, it's just not the same. :-(
You're the Inspiration better 1984
White people dancing.
