Chicago - Rehearsing at Budakon, Tokyo, Japan 1989

This raw camcorder footage from September 1989 captures the legendary band Chicago rehearsing some of their classic hits at Budokan arena in Tokyo. Hear snippets of "You're the Inspiration" and "Along Comes a Woman" as well as an energetic soul jam session. The video gives a behind-the-scenes look at the band in 1989: Jason Scheff, Bill Champlin, Dawayne Bailey, Danny Seraphine, James Pankow, Lee Loughnane, Walt Parazaider, and Robert Lamm. The vintage video quality matches the time period, but the music still shines through. This is a unique chance to see this iconic band practice their craft backstage. Chicago fans will enjoy this unofficial archive of a 1989 tour stop in Japan.

Thank you very much for this treasure from this wonderful band! Would you happen to have any unofficial material from their in the 70s on video?

[@saturdayinthevault]

My pleasure. Most of the 70s stuff I have is what's been posted already (i.e. Tanglewood, 72 Japan, Ranch, 77 Germany, etc.). However, somewhere out there is a 1975 TV Broadcast from Mexico that I suppose would be considered the holy grail of Chicago footage. There's other shows that I would love to acquire and share such as pro-shots from 1979 San Diego, 1989 Houston, etc.

@@saturdayinthevault man I REALLY HOPE you can get what you are looking for, I can help you by saying that I know a guy here on KZbin who once replied to a comment of mine saying that there was a Chicago show in Las Vegas in 1977 or 1979 (?) I don't remember the date exactly but I'll send you the link to the video and look for my comment and click on it to see his response, maybe if you respond to him and you can talk maybe you'll get some new material for your collection! But I warn you that it takes a while to respond to comments. I've also heard about the recording in Mexico in 1975 once and I really believe it's true that it exists on video, it was probably recorded by the Mexican television station called Televisa, just like The Jacksons 5's show in Mexico in the same year. If I'm not mistaken, which, by the way, is available here on KZbin. I also have information but I don't know if it's true because I recently read it in a thread on the Guitars101.com website, but someone stated that Chicago has a complete, high-quality professional video recording of their show at the Kennedy Center in 1971, Even an audio song was released in the Chicago Decades box set, I'll even leave you the link to the thread here so you can take a look. I sincerely hope that you achieve all of this because I see that you are a big, dedicated fan of the band and want to share some of the magic of this wonderful band with us too, good luck in your search, and I will be cheering you on! greetings from a Brazilian Chicago fan! :) Below are the links I mentioned: • Link to the video with my comment: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHLZkJSAeKaBmZosi=ngj8ES2voiJOu2Uj • Thread Link: www.guitars101.com/threads/chicago-live-at-aladdin-theatre-las-vegas-december-22-1979-and-san-diego-sports-arena-san-diego -december-23-1979.766107/

​​@@saturdayinthevault I'm trying to respond to you with some information that I have that could help you in your search, but I think KZbin is deleting them because they have links, would it be possible for us to talk through some other means of messaging? discord or any social network? It can even be via email lol

The technician who runs on and off stage during "Along Comes a Woman" is a boss! Alas, as usual, when I went to a Chicago concert, the first two songs sounded like "loud mud," anyway😝.
