CHICAGO - (I've Been) Searchin' So Long - Mongonucleosis

Amsterdam, February 11, 1977. Songs from CHICAGO VII album.

[@Rylan101]

I will never be convinced that there was a more talented band than Chicago during their prime!

[@LINDA-jy3ov]

Totally 💯👍 Agree!!

[@johnmoreno7664]

...from 1967 to now, in the year 2033, I'm STILL jamming to it...Ghicago was AND STILL is HEAVY...!!! (I am 73 years OLD, and I'm acting up like the "Old Fool" that is still in me...one must NEVER lose that little kid deep inside him/her!!

[@rogerkeime1925]

I watched James Pankow discussing how al kooper heard them live and ran to the studio and called all its top tier musicians and create I guess Blood Sweat and Tears beating Chicago's creation of horns being used as front line and almost back ground singers. It was genius and who's still around 50 years later ?😊

[@cerebrynueby9668]

chicago es chicago, sea como sea, tenga los músicos que tenga sigue siendo la mejor banda.

How about the great guitar from Terry Kath??? Plus his soulful vocals were better than anything Cetera did!!

The most underappreciated band of all time! The Originals absolutely killing it!

So emotional when Peter adds a "Yes I will" (after the ending verse) and Terry replies "Yes I will".. I've always been moved by this, just never mentioned it.

​​@@joekosobucki2141 I believe Terry realized what an asset Peter was...but yes I noticed in many live performances he seemed to make fun of Peter in a sly kinda way : / (most of them did..it was there, sadly) but in reality they could never replaced Peter C.

Nothing can touch this band with Danny, Terry and Peter.. Astonishing performance

[@joekosobucki2141]

What about Terry? One of the greatest guitarists ever! You do know that Jimi Hendrix said that Terry was a better guitarist than him!

[@georgeburge7136]

I just cant put into words what this song / band / performance bring back to my heart and soul.

[@jeffroutledge9153]

Terry Kath was one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

[@rickp3753]

They never showed him rip enough😔

[@LINDA-jy3ov]

No Question There!!

[@LINDA-jy3ov]

Watch The 1970 Concert At TANGLEWOOD.TERRY Really Does Some RIPPING There!!

[@benjaminglover1570]

Couldn`t agree more. Also an idiot that drank too much.

[@joelfox6695]

Terry kath is criminally underrated. Not just as a guitarist but musician in general

[@pankfan60]

One of Lee's best solo's!

[@Patrickrivasticksdrums]

Chicago's in the house!! Wonderful performance! 🏆

[@glenwhatley4125]

Peter Cetera...outstanding bass lines & best tone...

[@beatlessteve1010]

These young men were really something special, individually and especially together... Peter reminds me so much of my friend growing up in the 70s who was also Polish American and both of us were into sports we both played baseball and football ... But my friend who's name was Rich .. definitely could not sing like Peter.... Peter who really complimented this band as a lead singer and chorus.. was the guy who could hit notes and sing melodies that put goosebumps on the girls. now the horn section here is also what really makes this band stand out... They almost had to be engineers to figure out how to create music in the middle of the Rock scene where these horns could not only contribute but become an important piece of the music created ... If the Pop rock scene was all about art and making music and money and contracts took no part in it all ... This band would have continued to grow exponentially and possibly start setting the trend of music to come... Terry brought a ton to the table himself . Again such important part the Chicago equation... The soulful lead singing and lyrics could have one believe that Terry was from the southeast side of Chicago and not the north.. I could go on and on about the band ..like with Robert lamb who just kept hitting out of the part with number 1 songs... Songs that we all sing today and whose melodies will live on forever... The drummer for Chicago was the heartbeat behind all of it... Very solid steady

[@lamarravery4094]

Lamm never wrote a number one song, but Peter wrote 3, 2 for Chicago and 1 when he went solo. But Lamm did write a ton of their earlier hits along with Pankow, then Peter took over when the others couldn't write a hit song anymore.

[@joekosobucki2141]

So many talented musicians in one band! Perfection!

[@peterm4486]

This is phenomenal…where has this been hiding? Terry, Peter, Danny!!!!!

[@bonnielove3408]

At this time in my life we was going to camp Michigan and we use to sing alone to Chicago songs they bring back beautiful memories i really was enjoying being a child😍😍😍😍

[@angelmoreno8141]

Terry Kath just the Best on guitar..!!! R.I.P

[@frankgayton2108]

Angel Moreno Jimi Hendrix once saw Kath play and felt he personally thought he (Kath) was better than him!

[@joellacantwell8696]

It's like husband is taking to me through those songs.

[@Max-Mustermann46]

Yes, he's one of the greatest guitarists of the world ever. No one can play like him.

[@carariela]

Kath rockin out as the best guitarist EVER & Cetera rockin out with the beautiful (Angelic voice he was Blessed with) is just such a Treat to keep playing this over & over........

[@philiptucci2458]

MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE FROM MASTER MUSICIANS

[@stanb42]

Pankow composition + Cetera vocal + Kath guitar + tight percussion + horns = classic Chicago!

[@robertwagner2882]

Stan Bentley you have to include lamm too. he is a genius

[@RCGoetzke]

Robert Wagner You certainly do, his songwriting carried the band during its first four years (1969-1972) as a national musical act. It was ironic that it was Cetera who wound up having success as a solo artist rather than Lamm, although Lamm has released some solo albums, none of them had hits or were sellers.

[@stanb42]

On this song however, Lamm's contribution is the keyboards player I the band and background vocals. I agree RLs contribution to Chicago's success cannot be understated, but my comment was about this video only.

[@Gregoryt700]

It is ironic. I love Sublety and Passion, though, hit or no hit it is almost a great Chicago album. To me it represents what they should have been doing c. 2000

[@paradise3156]

Robert G. Peter Cetera's voice is amazingly unique that's why. 🎙🎼🎶🎵🎹🎸🎸

[@chebrneck]

Hendrix once said Terry was his favorite guitarist. There's no doubt. He was a monster that left us too soon.

[@sharonlaforest6134]

In my opinion, Peter was the classiest looking musician back in the 70's. Always looked so good up on stage and his vocals were the best.

[@philiptucci2458]

[@gloriawoodie1447]

This soooo true !

[@zachb3573]

Robert G. Which makes no sense since their all wealthy

[@moodylicious]

@@zachb3573 what he was implying was it was thanks to Cetera for keeping them afloat right after the shock to ALL, over Terry's death. The late 70's saw Lamm & Pankow producing nothing, as they were all dried up, tapped out. And while they had a strong following on college underground stations it was nowhere near the explosive financial success and fame they acquired with the Cetera/Foster collaborations and Peter's No.1 Grammy winning/nominated songs. Peter Cetera made them all world famous and millionaires. Not once have I heard any of this band make a Grand humble gesture of thanking PC. They were fine giving stage leader, front-man status to Terry but when Peter held the spotlight , they suddenly couldn't take it. Jealousy and envy still have Pankow & Lamm in its grip. They prob don't realize it but they come off in interviews like jealous little bitches.

[@carljacobson7156]

It seems that before Terry Kath died in 1978, CHICAGO still had a funky, bluesy, rock sound to their songs - it got more soft-rock ballad oriented after that. These guys could really jam in concert- they were all well regarded Professionals.

[@patnorton3388]

Then you need to listen to Chi 36. Bit of a return to the 70s sound that is the pure Chicago. Key is Lamm writing half the stuff, Pankow doing real horn arrangements

[@oldwest517]

This is the one performance where later Chicago with Jason Scheff outperforms old Chicago--other than Terry, who is always better. Part is technology, part is having more vocalists.

[@susanfrye6944]

I saw them twice this summer and I thoroughly disagree. The talent is there and they play their hits while still creating. They have a very brisk tour schedule with several members in their 70s still rockin!

[@sharonlaforest6134]

I vote Peter Cetera to be one of the very best looking musicians from the 1970's and he still is today at the age of 74!

[@RCGoetzke]

Soon after being divorced from his first wife, Janice Sheely, in about 1973, Cetera engaged in a long term relationship with his eventual second wife and now ex-wife, Diane Nini, for nearly 20 years. If I had looked and sang like him in the 1970s and 1980s, I would have invested those years in more variety.

[@sharonlaforest6134]

@@RCGoetzke I have often wondered why Peter has never remarried after his second divorce after all these years. Apparently he prefers the single life and does not want to commit to a relationship.

[@RCGoetzke]

@@sharonlaforest6134 I'm sure that you noticed that most of Cetera's songs were about falling in or out of love. He tended to wear his emotions on his sleeve, but he probably reached the point where divorces were getting too costly.
