Chicago Live at the Budokan 1989

[@alwaysimitatedneverduplica4527]

I so love this concert! Bill & Jason were here singing their hits like You're Not Alone, I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love, Look Away, Will You Still Love Me ❤❤❤ plus Dawayne was kicking a$$ in guitars . Superb Chicago line up!

[@prokastinatore]

Dawayne Bailey on guitar was awesome. Like Chris Pinnock in the early 1980th when they played as Chicago-band members .

[@fresherstraighter]

Love Dawayne Bailey style of playing. He's a talented guitar player, and really made great guitar soloing. Just what the band needed at the time, a gunslinger from the late 80's.

[@moodylicious]

Dawayne was great, all around! Very much especially love this gig. Jason never sounded or looked better. yummy! Danny looks SO good & is the Master of those drums Bill's soulful voice & such a multi-talented man. They should have not kicked Dawayne, Danny & Bill out. All those great voices took the pressure & strain off Jason and let him shine. One of many bad business personnel changes made out of ego & Lord knows what craziness.

[@lukefender2394]

I seen him live with Chicago in 88 live at the universal amphitheater with Danny Seraphine still in the band, I was in elementary school, my 1st live pro concert, it was life changing, but the only part of the concert I didn’t really like, even at that age was Bailey’s solos, he way over played & was doing the 80’s shredder thing & I felt even then that he didn’t fit in with Chicago, but I will say the solos that he didn’t over play on at that show were great.

[@charvelred]

Sucks he was excluded from the HOF and wasn't even mentioned....

[@ericjson5310]

An absolute Ace. He brought his own playing and he gave the band a new flavour. Great, great musician.

[@VM-A4]

Dewayne Bailey was the worst choice Chicago ever made.

[@alwaysimitatedneverduplica4527]

Bill Champlin is rock and roll. A living legend. This is actually my favourite Chicago line up, Bill Champlin, Jason Scheff and Dawayne Bailey. Chicago was able to move with the times in the 80s to 90s because of this trio. And they still include their hit Will You Still Love Me in this concert, which should be! But they stopped it in the 90s and onwards perhaps because Lamm and the horn section isn't needed in the song. Jason Scheff was oozing with cuteness and sexiness. And to the bashers and haters of Bill Champlin and Jason Scheff, if you are not able to appreciate their music and style, that's your own insufficiency and stupidity. Don't blame it on the singers! 😂😂

[@ronalddelpozzo9026]

Ok , so I have read many negative comments for a while regarding Chicago’s personnel changes pro’s & con’s . Common sense , nothing is as good as the original. Terry Kath is hard to replace, a raw talent. Peter Cetera is also a great talent. But my take on what the band had been able to do over the years in trying to replace that talent IMO has been very good, especially Jason and Bill . They have stepped in and have done more than an adequate job. This has enabled Chicago to continue to tour and entertain their fans . My hat is off to them .

[@aprilgosa5779]

and the way Bill was let go and then they acted as if he was never there not all of them just a few of the founding members treated Bill like the hired help instead of a legit member

[@markraum4781]

I saw them on this tour in 1989 when they came to Washington DC, brought back some great memories

[@ronaldmoskovitz6630]

Saw them with Dewayne on the Parkway in the 80's . He was great

[@nikonD1Hs]

Thank you for uploading the precious video. I've been a big fan of Chicago, and whCen they came to Tokyo, I was around 19 years old university student, and I was there with my friend to fully enjoy their great songs. I've never thought of having an opportunity to experience the same moment on the net. Thanks a lot, again. いや、最高ですね、まさか私が10代の頃に見た武道館のライブを見ることができるなんて考えても見ませんでした。当時はToToとChicagoのぞっこんでした。池袋のBicCameraに通っていた時代でした。

[@lukefender2394]

This is the Chicago lineup I seen live in 1988, the 1st concert I ever attended, I was 12 years old, it was at the universal amphitheater. Danny Seraphine was behind the kit & it was life changing! Thank you Chicago!

[@GeneMurrell]

+Tank Franz I was at that show! That was the first time I ever saw them too. If I remember it was the first tour with Jason Scheff and they opened with that new version of 25 or 6 to 4 from 18 and did the original version in the encore. What a show!

[@lukefender2394]

+Gene Murrell sounds like a great show, but we attended a differnt show, the 1st track they played at the show I attended was look away, it was their big hit at the time & the 3rd track they played live was stay the night, which was sung by sheff & it was the Chicago 19 tour, so it was Jason's 2nd tour with the band, Chicago 18 was Jason Sheff's 1st tour & I heard he wore cowboy boots on that 1st tour:)

[@GeneMurrell]

+Tank Franz you are right. I was at that show too. I saw both the 18 and 19 tours at Universal. they did open with Look Away and I remember the stage was very bright and colorful. very very cool

[@lamarravery4094]

1988 was my first Chicago concert as well. Portland, Oregon. They put on a great show and Danny was still on percussion. The next time I saw them in 1990, I didn't see Danny and it wasn't until a year later that I found out that he'd been fired a few months before that 1990 concert that I went to. I was bummed, another original member left.

[@LoyalOpposition]

They fired Danny shortly after this, despite the "blood oath" that no one could be fired, ever.. His playing is better than any future drummers they hired. Robert Lamm said he wouldn't have fired Danny if he had to do it all again. Danny saved this band millions of dollars, and got the band 49% of the publishing (as opposed to 0%; all went to Guercio), and he wasn't a primary writer, so this was going to help (mostly) the other guys... I just saw Danny play with CTA, and my gosh... just watch any video on KZbin. I'm a drummer, and can't imagine being that great in my mid-70s.

[@ピノ-h6c]

I was there! Very good memory. Thank you for sharing. Since Dawayne Bailey has left, I realized he has great talent not only metallic guitar play. Might be little late, "STONE OF SISYPHUS" is my favorite.

[@flachlandbraut]

Dave Norman - have to agree with you. I grew up with 70s Chi, first tour I saw as a kid was Chi Vii, back in '74. Never be anything like 70s Chicago, but I have come to appreciate that the 80s stuff was also good.

The Famous Danny Seraphine Toupee... he is killing it here.. sounds great

[@cynthiariordan1046]

+Dreaming in Stereo There is a bittersweet chapter in Danny's book about the hair transplants and the toupee. He liked the way it looked on him, but it was a huge pain for him to deal with. He had to cope with secretly transporting his hair pieces, having them washed and styled, and using the right kind of adhesives for each situation. Can you imagine sweating and playing the drums in a rock band while wearing a hair piece? They were playing outdoors when a huge storm blew in and flipped the toupee up. He was holding it to his head and drumming with the other hand, and then he got up and ran off the stage just before their stage equipment collapsed--right onto his drum set! He would have been killed if he hadn't run off because of the toupee--he calls it the toupee that saved his life. I think there should be a special place in Heaven for young men who went bald in the "hair-centric" 70's. Nowadays, so many guys including musicians shave their heads, and nobody thinks anything of it.

[@dfgall]

I was there - A dirt racetrack, 30 days into a drought. Lincoln NE. Beach Boys played set. We were 20 feet from stage. Chicago comes out, 3 songs in...BOOM talk about thunder and lightning - end of drought. stage collapsed. farmers getting $20 to tow cars out of the mud, i think i peed on somedody under a semi.

[@scottmitchell3591]

Dwayne Bailey without question the 2nd best lead guitar Chicago put on the floor. Actually the 9 years he was in the band rivals any time period as my favorite Chicago years. Pete Cetera hurt the group when he left , or ousted , whoever you listen to. But Jason Schep proved to be a huge talent and class act. Bill Chapman was great too. With Bailey , Schep and Chapman that was the best lineup by far except for the original cast

[@waltersimmons946]

Cetera didn't quit. The band/management forced his hand. They agreed first he could record a solo album and spend time with his new born daughter but they reneged on their promise and told Cetera if you can't record (Chicago 18)and tour we'll look elsewhere for a bass player " in an assumption Cetera would fold and surrender the requests he made that they agreed to FIRST. Cetera shocked them by saying "I guess it's time you got a new bass player". It was Not the response they expected from him.😮😮😮

Watched the Tanglewood 1970 concert immediately before cherry picking through this, and I have to say ...... whilst the original line up and early 70's material and in concert vibe is utterly matchless, this concert, within an 80's overcoat, is just as valid ..... I think it's unfair to compare the various later members unfavourably. They are clearly talented musicians, and Jason Scheff's bass playing at the end of Danny Seraphine's solo (interesting to hear him doing a Neil Peart / Bill Bruford with the sample pads !) is fantastic - what a musician ! At the end of the day, it's not their fault that music tastes and what would sell changed ..... they simply tried to stay with the game, and all credit for that.

[@pankfan60]

I agree totally, Dave. This incredible band kept it together and moved on, which is more than you can say about the detractors trashing this video and Chicago's post 70's career because Pete left or Terry died. My question to the malcontents is if these replacements are so bad, why did Chicago vote them into the band? What, your musical heros have tin ears, don't know talent? You gonna tell Robert Lamm, James Pankow and the rest that their replacements really suck? There is so much to still love about this band...

[@michaelwright664]

Dave Norman Well said Dave, especially when people bag DaWayne's playing, yes it's very different to Kath's but that's the point, they wanted him to be currant (1980's) and also be himself, sure like Kath he would let his emotions get the better of him and sometimes 'over play' but he is great on this concert, you can't really compare the 69,70's Chicago with the 80's Chicago if they stayed the same I honestly think they would've lost their record contract, of course this is if they got someone like Kath, anyhow I love both versions, I can also understand the argument that the 80's should've had more horn parts.

[@oldwest517]

@@michaelwright664 Sure, musical tastes change, and if the band had continued to tour and primarily perform the stuff the new lineup had recorded together, nobody would bat an eye. But they didn't do that. Their concerts have been almost all stuff recorded in the first 17 albums. I remember seeing a Chicago 18 era TV appearance, and they performed 25 or 6 to 4, and not the Chicago 18 version but the Chicago 2 version!!!!! Apparently musical tastes hadn't changed very much in terms of what they want to hear from Chicago. You can't have it both ways, picking musicians with a new sound who can't play the old stuff right and yet keep playing all the old stuff almost exclusively. It has gotten worse over the years until now they are a glorified tribute band.

[@TruthHurts58]

Too bad they don't play a set list like this anymore, the best of the 70's and 80's. They have been basically playing the same tired set list for the last 15 years. They act as if Hard Habit and Inspiration were the only decent songs they released in the 80's. It's a shame, especially for fans who deeply admire and enjoy both eras.

[@C.N.A.C.]

TruthHurts58 What gets me is how disrespectful it is to Jason. He had a good run of at least two or three hits, but these days he spends his time singing nothing but Peter Cetera songs every night. Surely they can find room to let him have one song of his own.

[@michaelwright664]

TruthHurts58 totally agree with you, Chicago are even worse now that they have a lead singer who doesn't even play Bass and they also lost their drummer

[@scottburns5376]

Most of the classic bands are in the same boat now. Their creative process has long burned out but they still need to make a living. Especially in this digital age where the royalties have been vaporized. But a lot of fans still love hearing this stuff in person so they'll always have a financial avenue

There's so much David Foster era garbage on this tour and future tour. It's painful. But these new guys could unfortunately never pull off the great 70s music that Kath and Cetera created. They practically turned Beginnings into a disco song.

I absolutely love Chicago 18 through The Stone of Sisyphus...I don't think any less of Jason, just because he isn't Cetera....they're two completely different musicians with their own talents that are different from one another....This particular concert wasn't mixed well so that takes care of the vocal issue....I'll agree the entire concert could've sounded better but I think it's simply the mixing that was bad...They maybe could've used more practice but from what I hear, it's all pretty spot on......Finally, whoever the hell thinks that guitar player sucks just needs a hearing aid...That guitar player KICKS ASS....Sure, he's not Terry, but who gives a damn? Terry was amazing, but this guy is great, too...I believe that with all of my heart............Having said all of this, I will always love older Chicago more, but that's just me.....Newer Chicago is always on my playlist and I'll never stop liking either version of Chicago....Cetera and Scheff both have impacted me in different ways with my music so I'll leave it at that....There's no reason for me to pick a favorite or say which is better....They're both good friends. They like each other's music.

+James Kennedy The vocals do suck, and no Kath/Cetera/ Seraphine ... no Chicago, just this self-tribute band.

[@jameskennedy30]

+Robert G. Kath gave it a shot and blew it obviously. people who think Chicago is bad just because Cetera and Kath are gone just aren't musicians and don't understand music.

[@RCGoetzke]

+James Kennedy Chicago is belatedly going into the R&R HoF based on what it did from 1969 to 1985, not for what it has done, or more accurately hasn't done, from 1986 to present.

[@jameskennedy30]

+Robert G. And you've listened to all of the albums after 17?

[@RCGoetzke]

+James Kennedy I actually had Chicago 18 (1986) and have listened to Chicago 19 (1989), which was Serephine's last album with the band. That was enough for me.

"We can stop the hurtin'"....grat tune!

[@haraldfrostad]

Dawayne Bailey to me is the best guitar player in the band of Chicago (YES including the guy who formed the band) EVER. And he got a GREAT voice aswell :-) This to me this is MY favorite version of the Chicago band - Except when Peter Cetera was included in the band. Not only as the singer and bass player, but also as the BEST songwriter in the band ~ EVER. Without Peter Cetera the band Chicago would never have been where they are today.

[@LoyalOpposition]

They fired Danny shortly after this.. His playing is better than any future drummers they hired. Robert Lamm said he wouldn't have fired Danny if he had to do it all again. Danny saved this band millions of dollars, and got the band 49% of the publishing (as opposed to 0%; all went to Guercio), and he wasn't a primary writer, so this was going to help (mostly) the other guys... I just saw Danny play with CTA, and my gosh... just watch any video on KZbin. I'm a drummer, and can't imagine being that great in my mid-70s.

[@LisaGemini]

So who fired Danny? The jealous Jimmy Pankow who helped chase off Cetera?

[@waltersimmons946]

​@@LisaGemini Most likely yes

[@waltersimmons946]

​@@LisaGeminiMost likely yes 😮

[@joseninac]

Precioso...

[@charvelred]

2023....jason and bill please return cause the current lineup is finally the zzzzzZ

[@scissors656]

jason scheff has been in the band 25 years;and is the nephew of elvis presley's bass player.

[@scissors656]

i thought it was nephew.

[@terryalot6567]

+beatlecider I thought I was his only nephew.....Whoa is me

[@scissors656]

apparently not ?

[@scissors656]

it's time you know.

[@fifthstoryfall]

Jason Scheff's dad played for Elvis. Jerry Scheff.

[@michaelgawel5823]

Great drumming by Danny Seraphine, interesting how Danny had kind of a Gene Krupa, Louie bellson look going!

[@billjackson1317]

Lamb always had the best voice 👍👍

[@waltersimmons946]

Cetera and Kath were much better .

[@ManicMovesDrowsyDreams]

Best "Along Comes a Woman" thanks to DB's guitar. Reproducing the record accurately.

[@cjorg16]

Indeed, peaked in Early 1970s when they were the Best.

[@LoveDaly32]

I like this video. This concert they were very engaging and lively. Although as stated there were some flaws with the arrangement of the and the songs but it was still great. What was with Jason imitating voices on 25 or 6 to 4?? I don't I just thought that was weird.

[@robertoetojo5861]

The horns still Authentic

[@kennyk2011]

I will admit that this is not one of their finest hours. I believe that's Dawayne Bailey on lead guitar and vocals. He just is not "Chicago" and definitely can't hold a candle to Terry. The addition of Keith Howland was a breath of fresh air. I've been a fan for their entire career and will continue to be regardless of a bad gig or two. God bless Chicago.

[@stusmalls6887]

Keith Howland definitely brought them back to life. I like their lineup now. They been with this line up for a long time. Scheff you can pretty much say is Chicago now after 20+ years in the band.

[@Chifan71]

Holy crap...this was a great show. The most powerful lineup since the original. Horns just smoldered. C'mon, man...

[@TheGrossMeta]

Dawayne Bailey wasn't trying to "hold a candle to Terry", he was doing what he was paid to do. I love Terry Kath but you also have to admit Dawayne is an exceptional guitar player in his own right.

[@waltersimmons946]

​@@TheGrossMetaVery true 👍

[@koolbreeze8698]

Wow Danny Seraphine drums made this group so much tighter

[@brianjezuit4085]

It waZ a real shame that they fired him in 1990. I'm thrilled to see that Danny reunited with them for the R&R Hall of Fame performance!!!👍🥁🥁

[@LINDA-jy3ov]

AGREE!!

[@michaelgawel5823]

Danny was and still is a very musically minded drummer!

[@dsmusicuk]

DeWayne Bailey...awesome......

[@alexmckinney6035]

Bill Champlin brought a lot to the group.. Not Colour My World..

[@41223978]

The greatest band ever

[@MillerGenuineDraft1980]

Its nice to hear from someone who knows the facts and has great music taste. I dont believe in opinions (they are for the weak). Something bad happened to music it was called the 80's. The greatness of the 70's gave way to weaker and cheesier music and songwriting. Chicago had one good album in the 80's and that was Chicago-16 (1982) that album had some energy and a punch to it. So many bands had a dropoff in quality when the 80's arrived.

[@seangill898]

Everything you said Is an opinion

[@annajanczak3802]

I like Bill ,he has such a beautiful voice. Great Singer.

[@billjackson1317]

If you want hear Bill Chaplin at his best listen 2 The Son of Champlin , Loosen up Naturally Great horn band, legendary 👍👍

[@loveclassics1969]

I have to agree with you on this Sister Ray. I thought I would check this out and see the difference between their performances at Budokan around 1972. Paul Berry it's not about being a hater it's just the truth. The real turn was when Terry died but thank God for KZbin.

[@後藤均-y2v]

Love Classics

[@jameschamplin1742]

Jason Scheff is great on his instrument. He has a different tenor voice from Cetera. DAWAYNE BAILEY IS AMAZING AND FUCKING UNDERRATED.

[@alexnutcasio936]

who underrated Dawayne??

[@charvelred]

There both under rated

[@man23roi58]

supper!!!

[@terryalot6567]

[@letlet713]

Dawayne Bailey was sooo cool.
