You forget how awesome Chicago is until you hear them again.

[@1962Tim]

Robert has taken great care of himself and his voice. Good on him.

[@g.m.5395]

*YES* !👍🏾👏✌️👏

[@muxux4]

Wow, this masterpiece turns 50 years old this year!! Congratulations to R. Lamm and The Chicago Transit Authority!!

[@rodneysmith247]

I've been around all those 50 years. Lucky me huh. 😁

[@dufunia8313]

I shared a kelbasa with them

[@lionheartroar3104]

I had the honor of meeting Robert Lamm a few years ago. Very much a gentleman and unpretentious.

[@susansmullen5377]

Robert Lamm is still drop dead gorgeous!

[@nancyhahn4182]

My favorite Chicago song! Brings back some fantastic memories!

[@SteelHorseRiders]

My fave too!

[@ProfessorTime]

Wow, Robert's voice hasn't aged at all. He sounds as good as ever. Great rendition of "Beginnings."

[@elizabethvlado9803]

The best classic

[@angelajakem366]

Just a little deeper.

[@lindaloe]

ID SAY MAYBE KIND OF SEXY!!

[@barbaradelira6790]

He still looks great too 😍!!!

[@user-ky6dc4ot6r]

Chicago is TIMELESS. Their early songs about relationships are sone if the best love songs ever written.

[@jeffscott3919]

one of my favorite from them, Robert Lamm is a legend. So was Terry Kath (Make me Smile). Look up the 1970 Chicago at Tanglewood. Superb

[@monteyoung7126]

You wouldn't think it could get any better than that but it did at their 50th anniversary tour! One of the greatest bands ever!

[@kams7170]

I love love love that voice of Robert Lamm and those horns! Classic! Takes me back.

[@lyriclovalone7]

BOBBY LAMM AGES LIKE A FINE WINE. HIS VOICE ONLY GETS BETTER WITH TIME AND YES, HE IS ONE FINE LOOKING MAN.

[@roxdazey]

This song is timeless!

[@Catkid]

Only the beginning . Forever .

[@soilacantu8675]

One of the greatest bands ever....great performance.......CHICAGO❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@theajones6080]

My Mom and me both really like Chicago's music. The music of the early 70s has made a mark on me I'll always be grateful for those happy times.

[@teresa72955]

Awesome, brings back my high school days memories! This song was at the top of the charts then, was my favorite of Chicago’s hits.😁

[@joantraywick5599]

My favorite Chicago song! You guys have been and always will be my favorite rock group! ❤

[@ronherrera8327]

A song made 55 years ago, still sounds as fresh as it did then!

[@Arlo360-Official]

I strongly disagree. This is NOT anything even approaching the sound of the original lineup. If anyone wishes to hear the original band, search YT for Tanglewood.

[@LINDA-jy3ov]

Yes It Does!! Robert Sounds 😃👍 Great!! As Does Everyone Else!!

[@karlfritz47]

It sounds amazing yes ..but I found that the tempo was a little fast..

[@jonshonebarger5707]

My favorite song. I've been with them since the beginning.

[@davekennedy3236]

it's got to be about one of my favorites......memories are bitter sweet

[@chrissherwin2364]

My dad raised me on Chicago. Love all they do. Hope they keep going.

[@Hlirving15]

They sound as good as ever. Great version of Beginnings.

[@hughhallett4589]

Yes. One of the best. Have seen them 6x live

[@markb8978]

I was fortunate to see them with Terry Kath on guitar in 1978.

[@PatriotSteve]

saw them in 77. Boston Garden

[@Dogsville08]

Robert Lamm is awesome! Handsome as ever.

[@dorothybeck7559]

❤❤❤

[@stevenm.6886]

Chicago will always sound like summertime at the lakefront to me. The best memories 👍🏼

[@rockinrich90]

Absolutely, same for me, their albums were tremendous !

[@goldenhealer5645]

Me too... I grew up in Chicago when they first came out

[@sjhammer100]

Just saw them again this past weekend. Awesome!!! One of my all-time favorite bands.

[@loganmccarrell4504]

One of the Greatest Bands ever and still touring and making Great Music. Thank You Chicago for all the Great Music...And congratulations for finally getting into the RRHOF

[@conniec3085]

I adore these guys! Jimmy, Walt and Lee sound like Perfection, as always. And Robert Lamm sounds exactly the same! So awesome!

[@jeromeb9417]

Definitely still one of my favorite songs in my personal top ten favorites

[@DavidKing-xh2wo]

I have been a Chicago fan since the early 70s ( still have the first LPs), and while I love their music and that they have been having fun and giving us great music, I can’t help think of the original band with Danny, Peter and Terry, ( who is gone) might have sounded at this point in time. So glad James, Lee, Walter and Robert kept the group going...

[@billjackson1317]

Lamb has always had a smooth great voice. 👍

[@richd3044]

To me, I think his voice fit the overall genre of Chicago the best. Kath and Cetera were great in their own right too, and the diversity in lead vocals was brilliant. At least up until the Cetera ballad era.

[@lanceyoung9893]

great sound quality and the band is really tight in this performance

[@lired70]

Love this song, love the bass riff, love Robert Lamm, he is an eternal artist! This song sounds amazing!

[@Smittyschannel]

One of the best songs ever produced.

[@gabriellajawson1718]

Awesome and Robert is a goodlooking as always

[@tronmartin1]

+Gabriella Jawson (Gabby Jaws) What a great voice. So smooth. What a band.

[@MirrorImageOfYou]

I act this entire song out everytime I hear it. So full of life, love, and happiness 😊 🎶

[@victordieleanora4339]

Beautiful sentimental love song that is an American classic. Chi flies high no lie!

[@tomericson2859]

I wanna look as good as Robert Lamm when I reach his age.

[@marilynfosseen1541]

I wish I looked as good as he does now.

[@karencoleman6442]

I love the group Chicago. Their music 🎶 🎵 is timeles and brings back such fond memories of my childhood and youth. Their music will live on in our hearts. Thank you Chicago for the great music. To see them perform with Earth Wind and Fire is just awesome. Both super groups of the seventies is just beyound the universe!!! I love them both . Thanks for the music. 🎶

[@judysipe5683]

Brings back memories. Will be seeing them in concert soon. One of my favorite songs. Fan of 55 years ❤

[@jimbocoonass8622]

I remember as a kid growing up in the 70's and thought the horns were cool playing rock man.

[@jvarela965]

These guys are in their 60s and have more talent in their pinkies than most young musicians have in all their bodies. SAD

[@tonyramirez9213]

James Varela true!!!!!

[@gibberish1014]

Because they have more experience

[@daisyjane1070]

They're actually in their 70s but yes, I couldn't agree with you more! Very talented and dedicated musicians.

[@joelabriola6289]

60's? I bet some are pushing 70's and they still tour?! Wow

[@davehodgson6668]

@Katana Sharp , do you go back as far as "The Big Thing" at Barnaby's at Rush and State? Great memories of them and fried chicken night.

[@cm745]

This has always been my 2nd favorite Chicago tune, a close 2nd to Ballet for a Girl in Buckannon. So great to see James, Lee, Walter, and Robert still together (when this was recorded). You guys wowed me in the late 1960s and are still going strong.

[@lyriclovalone7]

SPECTACULAR SONG AND LAMM IS STILL AMAZING. HIS VOICE IS SO PERFECT AND OF COURSE HE IS GORGEOUS

[@joekosobucki2141]

What a classic band! My favorite Chicago song, but every song by these multi talented artists is classic!

[@richardfunck4673]

MY FAVORITE CHICAGO SONG BY MY FAVORITE BAND CHICAGO♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@cherylcade334]

Thank you Chicago for all the great music! One of my favorite bands of all time! Still sounding amazing! Such talented musicians!

[@Fresh-tw7ev]

What phenomenal talent. After all these years and to never miss a beat. The RRHOF is DAMNED LUCKY to have enshrined these guys albeit 25 years too late. Long may they perform!!

[@jrsdsu1986]

The greatest song ever written.

[@debrakilcher5510]

I absolutely love Chicago, I’ve been going to their concerts for few years now, they are suburb

[@allexisberry7367]

Robert sounds amazing .

[@MustangSam]

Every time I watch these guys do this song I'm a blubbering fool. It's so good I can't help it. I guess part of it is the memories from such a great time in music.I still have the original album. It had thick shrink wrap on it and it's still like new. This song just makes me feel so good.

[@lindastjohn5007]

Great performance! Great band! Love watching Robert Lamm entertain. Great voice, as always!!

[@danjimmie0704]

Legends, simply legends!!! I've been fortunate to see them with Peter and the more current line up!!! Always delivers!!! Cheers!!!

[@rhapsodyinglue8758]

As a late 80’s kid, this masterpiece defined my upbringing in Chicago. Every time I hear it I get homesick.

[@brianlebrun2382]

The band that refuses to age.

[@valeriesecor8739]

Always loved you guys..... perfect song for the Awakening !! New Beginnings for the World ...timeless song ...🎵🙏🎵🙏🎵🙏❤️🇺🇸🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🥰💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

[@robertciechon3903]

I normally don’t watch any of the “new” Chicago for obvious reasons but had to watch this for Beginnings is not just my favorite Chicago song but up there with my all time favorites and damn it sounded good!

[@kellputt51]

his voice is a gift.. still a great group...

[@jonshonebarger5707]

Best band Best song Best album Best lead vocals

[@leahrobertson6918]

I Love Robert Lamm!! So Handsome.

[@sapelesteve]

Chicago is without a doubt one of the greatest & most creative bands in rock history. Saw them in concert quite a while back and they are in a musical league of their own. Their songs are timeless and bring back so many good memories! Thanks Chicago & keep on rockin'! 👍👍👏👏📀📀

[@walther9161]

This was the best version of Chicago… period!

[@p.n.gwynne]

yes. they're superb - polished. fantastico.

[@josephslotnick4516]

So sweet how they both sing backup into 1 mic.

[@yvesleberre1953]

Super groupe que j'ai découvert dans les années 70 ..j'adore les cuivre qui apportent beaucoup à leur belle composition ..

[@MegaCupcake79]

i never get tired of hearing this song.

[@tonyde52]

One of their last best performances with their BEST BAND LINEUP!

[@Romans219]

I love this lineup! Legendary band.

Friggin' awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Catkid]

I love watching them perform . They have such a grand time playing their instruments .

[@eastonpeter1242]

Seldom mentioned: WHAT GREAT WRITING! Especially Robert and James.

[@crankyyankee6709]

Chicago Transit Authority was one of the first cassetts I got in Viet Nam ('69 - '70). Great then. They're still the best. Great sounds, brings back some good tree top memories.

[@MGySgtCraig]

From my teens to now.....your mother-forkers are the best.....Only The Beginning....500 years from now....Chicago will be known for you guys.....

[@stevestewart3905]

Never drops off my Playlist!

[@joacogm59]

Timeless, great band, overflowing talent...

[@jabe3780]

One of the tightest ensembles ever.

[@richardjames7382]

I saw Chicago 2 times, first in 1986 at Universal Studios and then in Las Vegas 1996.

[@spooky1639]

Love it!

[@richardjames7382]

Robert Lamb still sounds like he did 40 years ago.

[@canadianroot]

So does Robert Lamm.

[@richardsmith5477]

Richard James ~~That’s not Robert Lamm

[@dttprice]

Richard Smith You are incorrect. That is Lamm.

[@brucekuehn4031]

And can we also hear it for the horn players Lee Loughnane - trumpet, James Pankow - trombone, and Walter Parazaider - sax (and sometimes flute). All three originals from the beginning! Just looking - Wikipedia says - Parazaider continued to tour extensively with the band until his retirement from touring in 2017 due to a heart condition. 2019 - he’s 74. Time catches up to all of us.

Seen them at the Fox awesome amazing you can't imagine the difference live, love them now.

[@at90percent]

That's the best live ending I've ever seen them do on that song. Way better than the da da da da, da da da da, da da da da, da da da da. They always used to do.
