Chicago The Band - Beginnings - 1992

[@kanub]

I’ve been listening to the Chicago music since Thursday. Seems like nonstop now I’m truly hooked on you guys. Love you, Chicago.

[@mrorionfan1]

THIS BAND - THIS BAND IS ONE THAT I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO BRAG ENOUGH ON ------- THROUGH ALL OF THE MEMBER CHANGES THROUGH THE DECADES ---------- HORNS , DRUMS , GUITARS, KEYBOARDS, GREAT VOCAL HARMONIES!!!!

Elaine---every time I hear this song--I think of us!! Hope you are well my love.

[@Tripleggg1959]

Time passes way to quickly. Hard to believe this video is from 20 years ago almost. I hate getting old, but I love great music like this!

[@brianisaac1575]

Kind of the same here, only I'm genuinely trying to find joy in aging. I had to retire early at age 64 due to crippling arthritis and it has messed up my head to realize the lie I bought into about working for the machine and giving it my all. My advice to everyone is to quit punching the proverbial clock and enjoy what time remains for you. You'll never have the money you desire and when you are done, you get nothing in return. I'm proud of the work I accomplished but am full of regret because of what I sacrificed, of what I missed. I am so enjoying these 20-year-old clips of my favorite music. Just wish I had been there. If it wasn't for the likes of KZbin I would be missing so much. Quit working for the man and enjoy your life!

I don't care what anyone says. When I hear Chicago, feel like a teenager all over again. Saw then in concert in 2013, & of course the band members had some new additions, but what a high-energy, out of this world, memorable, fantastic concert ! Love me some Chicago !!! Always & forever.

[@brianisaac1575]

Ever work with or gotten to know anyone born and raised in Chicago? They're about as proud of their city as Texans are of our state. (Chambers County here, and proud of it.) I laugh when I remember a man named David Duenes telling me how many students in school played horn because of this band. A ton of them he told me. I still am in awe of these guys' early work. Nothing really compares to this day. Watch Terry's guitar playing on "I'm A Man", and find me, someone to compare. I read somewhere that Jimi Hendrix said Kath was a better guitar player than himself. All of their vocals were phenomenal. The horns!? OMG! Watching Robert on keyboards; Such a cool dude. Their later commercial success kind of blows me away and you have to wonder how different the trajectory would have been if Kath's death had not come at such an early age. Even though I didn't dig the later sound, I still admire all of that talent. Hat's off to you, Chicago Transit Authority. Please forgive me because I think I've posted most of this earlier, but just couldn't help myself.

[@Chifan71]

All is forgiven. Keep posting!

THE BEST OF THE BEST, I SEEN THEM ON RUSH ST.. I'M 74 NOW AND AN EXPERIENCE STAYED WITH ME EVER SINCE. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

[@starrhelms234]

This song!!! I love me some Robert Lamm 💓

[@ponchin80]

Excellent Concert of Chicago!!Robert Lamm, James pankow and Dawayne Bailey Tris Imboden.

[@pankfan60]

Pankow's just an animal. His solo--and his stage presence--are a marvel. Fucking rocker extrordanaire.

First saw Chicago at the Shorham hotel in Wash. DC in 1970. They were in DC for a concert but came to the last session of the Presidential Classroom for Young Americans to give a private concert for a few hundred high school kids. They were huge at the time and we got own concert. Jesus. The previous session was entertained with a demonstration by the Baltimore Marshall Arts Club. Boy did they get screwed. I have loved them ever since. A few years later in college, Chicago came to the a University of Missouri. Great concert but there was a huge problem. I got front row tickets but the ROTC guys who were hired as ushers would not let us stand on the chairs. Those of us close to the stage, stood anyway. Most everyone else sat back down. At the end, Chicago said “We want to thank you guys up front”. God they were great. It pissed me off that it took so long for them to get in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They were great in 3 decades, how rare is that.

[@josefinamorales106]

Great band

[@Chifan71]

Amazing 'bone solo by Jimmy Pankow. My second favorite of his on this song right after his blistering studio version on CTA.

[@ChicagoCollectors]

I agree, this was a great era for the band for the "rocking" side of Chicago.

[@brianisaac1575]

Nothing compares to their early work. What a line-up of talent.

[@srikwari360]

couple of things that I like about this particular live version are: 1. crowd reaction at 0:27 2. James pankow and the entire horn section having way too much fun at around 1:03 3. George Costanza lookalike having a nice time at around 1:10 4. When Jason does his bass guitar thing at 2:54-2:57, two ladies tip their hats in unison as per beat .. amazing crowd

[@LINDA-jy3ov]

This Is An 😍🤩 Amazing video!! ROBERT Is Always Great 😃👍 As Is Everyone Else!!

[@LINDA-jy3ov]

So Much Fun Everyones Having!!

[@srikwari360]

​@@LINDA-jy3ov Yeah. I'm so glad that they were inducted into the Rock n roll Hall of fame in 2019. Well deserved.

[@LINDA-jy3ov]

I'm Very Happy CHICAGO Is In The Hall Of Fame Too!! After All They Are My Favorite Band!! 💕 Love Those Guys!!

[@LINDA-jy3ov]

Well It's 2016 Actually.

[@hardlines4]

A time when we had REAL music!!

[@fraink7]

I saw this tour at the Paso Robles Mid-State fair.Only Robert Lamm was where he belonged playing the piano.Also.Lee was playing the trumpet.Nice concert.Wish I saw them back in the 70's with the original band.Still good,though.Thanx for the posting.

[@mrorionfan1]

TALENTED TALENTED TALENTED TALENTED GROUP!!!!

[@discosera8384]

Wow, 'cause that Concert, that I watched in 1994, knew u guys, a really good Rocn and Roll band with horns

[@williamelkins6811]

Vox is on some funny medication. Tris' s solo is amazing. If l he has a problem with Burford that l only reinforces my point. Great work Mr Imboden some of your finest work very hot. (Lammfan36)

[@Psmgamer]

Never knew Robert played guitar as well as piano.

[@brendalaudermilt5031]

Chicago is my favorite band and best man as far as I concern! I seen in and concert in Noblesville Indiana July 20 21! They were awesome as usual, I would like to go see them again don't care that they got some age on them they got the same voice as they had all these years they sound great!

[@mrorionfan1]

WHAT A DRUM SOLO BY TRIS AFTER SUCH A HORN AND GUITAR PERFORMANCE - NOT TO MENTION THE VOCALS ---------WHAT A GROUP!!!!

[@tina2607]

👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘

[@gsman5828]

Thornburgh sounds pretty solid on his solo. Nice tasty solo with a few high notes mixed in. I like it!

[@mrmatko7243]

Actually at this point they are about halfway through their remarkable career 😎

[@MrMLD1972]

❤

[@julia.vasilieva]

Is Robert actually playing guitar for the microphone or it's mostly someone in the back making that sound?

[@markkleindorf4151]

Time for reunions boys

[@BanOxyCred]

0:50 Ohh but...but is my auntie Rosemary on the drums!!

[@williamelkins2695]

I was very much shocked listening to Seraphine last reunion(round about 2015. Tris spoiled me I like the way Tris and scoff relate. Nicely played solo the only ]pint I am critical about and. Have made the point well over. I'm not a Dawayne Baily fan. I think he's a tremendous player. But his dramatics do nothing for me. I love Keith Howland. That is debatable I suppose. But Howland is a better fit. Dawayne is a very good guitarist. But h÷ and Steve Morse iñ new Kansas

[@mrorionfan1]

@@williamelkins2695 So Dwayne gets into it with more flare instead of just standing there - not that all of them don't get into it - but he does more!! What is wrong with a little pizzazz ????

[@robertarcher8598]

Sure do miss Terry Kath! The greatest, period!

[@avlisk]

Bobby Elliot's hair hat from the mid 70's?

[@PhilUSM]

well the horn players are in their sixties

[@ismaelsuarez326]

Everytime i see the Chicago band there different people playing, who is the original player's?

[@sandyboggs8099]

robert lamm vocals 2 of the horn players

[@Chifan71]

The trumpet player, Lee Thornberg, was standing in for original trumpet man, Lee Loughnane, for this concert.

[@Chifan71]

So there were at that time four original members...Robert Lamm and the original horn section.

[@norms3913]

Geez half the band wasn't thought up when this song came out on the radio

[@gsman5828]

Care to elaborate??

[@tromboneJTS]

one of the horns is not tuned and the keyboard sounds janky. Also, it sounds rushed.

[@efd996mk]

the outfits and accessories are horrible...but what a great song.

[@TOFJR1]

Where are Danny S. And Peter Cetera?

[@geraci89]

i was gonna say. lol

[@williamelkins2695]

Robert. My favorite musician anywhere

[@HadEnough745]

Yikes...horrible drumming..NOTHING like the studio version.

[@williamelkins2695]

Is there any song that meets the quality of the studio version? Thank you please sir back down.

[@jjccllgg]

See the difference . kzbin.info/www/bejne/pprdg4WcqZiSbrs

[@norms3913]

She needs to go learn from the best drummer and that Neil Peart of rush of how to do a real drum solo

[@fostermac7170]

You're kidding, right? That's no "she", that's Tris Imboden.

[@seymoresaymore]

_" __-She-__ He needs to go learn from the best drummer and that __-Neil Peart-__ Danny Seraphine of __-rush-__ Chicago of how to do a real drum solo"_

[@mrorionfan1]

He is great especially after he gets it going - Neil was a different type of drummer ----- Tris is more loose and the rhythm is different!!

[@dilloncarpenter]

well the trumpet solo kinda sucked...the rest was good tho

[@garypugh1153]

Whats with all the long hair and earrings ? A gay look. I know youre all men ?

[@benstewart9207]

What an awful song
