Great interview. Loved the honesty by PC about J Geurcio. Interviewer said by the late 70s, "They really didn't know what time it was". Also Peter's excitement about the press that they were connected with the MOB.

I wonder if Peter and Jim Guercio ever made amends in later years. It was Guercio’s production and management that helped them get to the top of the charts in the 70s.

I’ve not heard anything from Peter except similar sentiments in other interviews. There is an interview Guercio did with Patty Maloy and Peter’s brother where he speaks fondly of Peter.

Good interview. Drugs affected many good bands back then. Glad to know that they gave up the drugs and are all still performing today. Should have happened many years ago and Terry would still be alive today.

Yes Terry Kath was an excellent musician and singer
@TruthHurts586 жыл бұрын
Terry Kath was through with Chicago. Chicago fans hate to hear it but its the truth. His wife is on record saying he couldn't wait to record a solo album so he wouldn't have to hear the horns anymore! They talk about him like he was a god and Cetera like a pile of crap, yet Terry wanted out before Peter. Truthfully, Bobby wanted out first when he recorded his solo album. He just didn't have the goods or the guts to make it on his own.
@sharonlaforest61346 жыл бұрын
I believe that if Terry had lived, he would have left the band in 1978. They will never admit it, but Terry was on his way out. Their treatment of Peter in the later years after he revived the band was inexcusable and then firing Danny. Terry would have been a solo artist just as Peter has been since he left the band.

You're absolutely correct. The remaining band members actually believe their own personnel propaganda.
@elizabethmcleod60796 жыл бұрын
You too are correct, Robert. Chicago, in particular, Pankow, persistently peddles the myth that Cetera was problematic and positions Cetera to be the 'bad guy'. Cetera was Pankow's nemesis and Pankow never wastes an opportunity to run Cetera down. Cetera said himself that the band "ran him out emotionally". To Cetera's credit, he has very rarely fired back. Egalitarianism only existed in Chicago on Pankow's terms!
@sharonlaforest61346 жыл бұрын
Peter has always taken the high road with that situation and I really admire him for that. Pankow really carries a jealousy torch for Peter and he will never measure up to be the humble and sincere man that Peter is. I also believe that Pankow continues to treat some members of that band the same way and that is why they continue to replace musicians within the band.I have much respect for Peter and I believe his fans do also.

Kath saw his role in the music diminish. Chicago was heading in a direction he didn't want to be part of. He was a rocker that was burned out on ballads. As for the 'god' reference, Terry Kath was no god. He was a titan.

Love it! Being around in a band during that era .. 70’s Early 80’s .. Pete C isn’t forthcoming. If you wanted a gig ( to play ) in a decent club you needed the right mouth piece and he’d better be Italian! Period. We had such a booking agent. All went well. That was in this days and I remember CTA having the connect. Aside that they were really good musically.

@@chriscianciolo5823 Yes, and in "Searchin'", Peter sings, "I will understand" and adds a "Yes I will" and Terry backs that up with a nice "Yes I wiiiiiiiill"... There has never been a quote of Terry saying any of this. In fact, Terry (and Danny) accompanied Peter in England when "If You Leave Me Now" was about to hit #1. I think Robert could be taking one little comment of Terry's, and saying it over and over, almost doing Robert's dirty work, although Robert is the one who's vocal about it... yet, the only guy who encouraged Peter Cetera to write (Peter's words).

They succeeded, they are America's Beatles. Just look at their catalog, so many good tunes and they wrote it all, just like the Beatles wrote their own songs. Chicago never gets old with me, they've always been my favorite band.

A lot of the early fans of Chicago hate the post-1980 music. However, those of us who grew up with the second iteration of Chicago have fond memories of it and it was great music. David Foster helped give that band a shot of energy and creativity and they were able to do what few others could: have a second act that was nearly as successful as the first. Two huge albums (16 &17), a number one hit, and a number of other Top 40 songs. After Peter left, they had another surge of hits, including another #1.
