Great to see Lee getting the attention he's deserved for so many years. He's probably the most influential trumpet player in America that no one knows. Once young musicians gain an appreciation for chops and musical complexity and sophistication, they discover Chicago and another generation is inspired. What has always impressed me about Lee is ability to memorize numerous 4-6 minute long pieces, often written by Jimmy Pankow, that are incredibly complicated and tortuous to play even with music much less without.

[@WillClarkston24]

Lee Loughnane is an all around amazing guy!

[@Dutranator]

Wow Thank you Ryan for posting this. Lee Loughnane is a true Icon , legend , and full of drive as well as you and the others playing up their. Keep the chops going and continue beating this cancer!

[@jessicaholmes8876]

I enjoy listening to Chicago's song, Feelin' Stronger Every Day. I'm feeling stronger every day, too!

[@DrewZaremba]

Wow!! How fantastic to finally see the video. An honor to pen this arrangement for this wonderful and unforgettable night!!!

[@randysteele6741]

Saw this for the first time tonight. Great arrangement of great songs by a great band played by a world-class ensemble. Thanks, Mr. Zaremba!

[@don4476]

Great arrangement. Big thumbs up. I guess you paid attention that day in class. ;-)

[@nickolson1491]

And what an arrangement it was. Thank you for your great contribution to a truly wonderful evening. Ryan and Lee are two of my trumpet heroes.

[@debbieortiz7760]

Feb. 7 2024. I agree about Lee singing solo and playing horn. I’ve listened to Chicago since they started. Never heard solo from Lee. And I’ve attended their concerts numerous times. We should have more. He’s got a great voice. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@mikemacjunkie1]

Why on earth doesn’t Lee sing more often. He’s got such a great voice. I saw Chicago this past summer and Lee only sang one song. It was great.

[@Dizzyphan]

Because with the horn parts being intertwined with the lyrics and playing constantly under verses, choruses and then horn section features, it'd be impossible to do both sing and play the trumpet part. :)

[@christosstamato527]

A wonderful voice! Touching too! Sounds a lot like Huey Lewis to me.

[@buhler013]

That’s simple: as good as Lee sings, he’s even better with the trumpet 👍👍🎺🎺

[@einarabelc5]

Because he's in Chicago.

[@toddwalker4301]

He sang in Song of the Evergreens on Chicago 7.

[@Dizzyphan]

I'm so in awe of Mr. Lochnane. As a trumpet player in a Chicago tribute band I know the endurance pain of playing this material, especially trying to do a 90 minute set of it.

[@SecretAgentPaul]

I've dreamed of Lee singing Make Me Smile. I always knew he'd do it justice. I love his voice.

[@211kms]

Lee is great, what a voice!

[@randysteele6741]

What a thrill to see my man, Lee, up there blowin' with the best trumpet cats around!

[@derhandtrommler]

Chicago II dug a deep hole in my soul in the summer of 1970. I wasn't familiar with horn music, but I bought the album just because of "Make Me Smile" and "25 or 6 to 4". My mind was completely blown. It proved to be a watershed experience. I branched out to other horn sections and took a chance listening to jazz like Miles & Coltrane and was totally sold. I thank Chicago for a great change in my listening habits that continue as I head into my 70's.

[@RW-ob4en]

Lee and Jimmy came in and spent the day with my HS band students in 1990. Its 2023 now and a former student (never played a note past high school) contacted me just last week to say how much it impacted him. Pretty satisfying! FYI Lee and Jimmy were wonderful, warm, and humble. They were so nervous about speaking face-to-face with 100 students/adults up close I had to bolster their confidence. “Hey, it’s harder up close than it is from the stage for thousands!” 😂

[@kimshepard7158]

Lee!! I hear Terry in you!!!❤️

[@toddwalker4301]

Lee does a great job filling in for Terry on vocals! Probably the best I've heard! He is also a super nice guy and talked to my brother and I about trumpet methods and equipment for around 15 minutes at a meet and greet in KC!

[@jessicaholmes8876]

I love Chicago! They are my most favorite band in the world. Their music is great!😍👍

[@elizabethbaez6118]

OMG. Is amazing.

[@ursulakaiser7322]

Lee Loughnane singing Terry Kaths part of ,,ballet...make m s." Wow! Aw! What a fund of treasure!! Made me cry,smile & sing along At the same time😍🤩i'm speechless,and that doesn't happen often

[@889martinrd6]

On Chicago VII Lee sings Song Of The Evergreens written By Terry and Lee also wrote Call On Me frome that same album which of course Peter sings.

[@bubbajeph]

The group Chicago came out when I started playing the trumpet in the early 70s. My 1st concert I paid for was Chicago in Norfolk Scope, Virginia.

[@oswaldocastro9591]

Everything Is awesome!!.....but .....Leé, where the hells have have you been hidden us that voice????

[@newspapertaxis1]

Lee does a pretty good job on lead vocals!

[@don4476]

Lee has a good voice. He totally cuts it.

[@herbschwartz8076]

Fantastic! Thanks for posting, Ryan!

[@gooddolan]

This was a VERY nice birthday present!

[@wilfredolopez8600]

Beautiful memories. Simply awesome....

[@kimshepard7158]

[@silvioribeirodossantos6858]

Muito bom! Triste a morte do Ryan Anthony.

[@selpingos]

Lee!!!! why don't you sing the old great ones more. It sounds so authentic Chicago compared to some of the other dudes who tried to improvise on Terry. Love this show

[@Dutranator]

Actually none of these songs were written by David Foster and Peter Cetera. Just Robert Lamm and James Pankow. Get away was written by Robert Lamm. Great job Lee.

[@olegstasuk8856]

Моя любимая група Chicago и мои с детства узнаваемые и любимые мелодиию

[@miguelinalerin7888]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@berndwickenhaeuser4886]

Amazing! There is Stokton Helbing in drums? He is a former alumni of Maynard Fergusons Big Bop Nouveau.

[@Terry212am]

Around the seven minute mark, it is a baaaaaaaaaaaad moment in the History of White People Clapping. Jeez, guys, get it together.

[@MrMike-fm8bp]

Lee is as good or even better horn player than Doc From Johnny Carson !!

[@kimluu1222]

No, sry but doc is SO much more better maintaing tone

[@rubengabrielribeiro583]

Excelente !!!
