@Chifan712 жыл бұрын
Just turned 70 in June myself. Saw Chicago the first time live on Nov. 4, 1972, exactly 50 years ago in a few weeks. When they took the stage and the horns hammered those opening notes of the Make Me Smile medley, I thought my 20 year old brain was going to stroke out. The sound was unf..ing believable. Unforgettable experience.

The best description I ever heard of Terry's style was, "He would never play one note, when two would do!" Columbia really screwed up in 1976 when they put out "Another Rainy Day in NYC" first off Chicago X. Killed the LP's chance of hitting number 1. Should have led off with "Once or Twice", one of Terry's best.

This was the same year that Peter Cetera was brutally beaten by 4 marines at a dodgers stadium. His jaw was broken in several places and he lost several teeth. His jaw was wired shut for awhile and he was in ICU. After the wires were taken out , he started singing differently by not opening his mouth as much , for fear that his jaw would stick in the open position. You can see the scars on his cheek in this video. All because those marines didn't like "long haired hippies" that root for the cubs. Peter Cetera got the last laugh. It created his new singing style which made him even more unique. I wonder if they knew it was Peter Cetera of Chicago. Love you! Peter. 👍

And passing years tell nothing about what tragedy is but another attempt at how it's never gotten any clearer. So maybe I'll try getting over getting over what seemed so random when you include the others I'd suffered through. Janice, Jim, Jimi, John Henry and Keith, Terry I'll stop... I grieve each and yes celebrate too their legendary gifts each time while listening, sadly recalling when first learned the truth. Yes it had ended and again I'm taken aback looking into making sense for when will I learn pain offers its own answer.
