Chicago (the band) In Phoenix

[@pocopico7409]

Imagine how many concerts the original members have performed…now going into their 58th year. I just can’t imagine such a hard lifestyle. Always traveling and always doing pretty much the same songs for 58 years! Incredible. I didn’t know Robert Lamm could sound so much like Terry Kath. But he clearly does in the opening song. 😊

[@djmegamase7590]

Killer introduction. Crazy how people expect a Chicago from 1972. Give these guys props for keeping it alive and giving us an opportunity to witness greatness.

[@SuiGenerisMan]

"Witness Greatness " ? You mean thanks for keeping it alive for those of us who MISSED OR MISS the greatness that was. This is a nostalgia band, not the real thing and not even a shadow of what was in 1972 - a very poor version at that. Just saying, you kinda oversold it.

After tragically losing the great Terry Kath and struggling to find a replacement, the group comes back stronger than ever. Keith is a fantastic guitarist, Robert sounds great on vocals and rest of the band is as tight as ever. These guys are real musicians and they show it every night they play.

@@jairourdaneta1 Terry Kath one of the greatest guitar players of all time tragically died in Januray 23rd 1978. It's a great lost to the music world and since then chicago had a hard time to keep on their on success however this video shows and proves that chicago still lives on.

Incredible. Better than ever. Come back to Denver! I saw Chicago in July 1971, the best music in the world is 1965-1975 rock!

[@sallymagallanes3325]

Chicago and the Moody Blues are my favorite bands. They both wrote and performed suites of music, not focusing on a "top 40" hit. I'm a brass player so recognize the complexity and technical skills the Chicago guys have (to this day). Not to mention chops!

[@ernestmorellsr7929]

I must confess when I first heard this group of guys singing and playing, I was like , okay ,um gonna buy their album and listen to it even if it kills me, a bunch of clean cut White guys singing and playing. Another group of beach boys and three dogs nights. It wasn't until some 30 years later I was starting to reminisce about all the many bands who were actually singing and playing music and which group came to mind? Chicago and Rare Earth , man it's really nice to see and hear live bands perform especially when you can actually listen to the words in the music . Man these guys are still maintaining.

[@tooter1able]

Still the greatest ! No other group compares to them in creativity, endurance, variety of music,; I might add that simply from a musician's POV, their repertoire is like the classical music from the great composers of the historical periods of music,,---like symphonies, concertos, sonatas, even operettas ---played hundreds of times down through time---to an audience that never tires of hearing it performed; the first real timeless American pop music. Only in the USA could this music arise.

[@vsmichael1]

Most of them aren’t playing here. This isn’t the CHICAGO I’m used to hearing.

[@markwideman339]

People don't realize how talented these guys and how really good they are and they don't realize that they are the most diverse band of all time they play so many different types of John rose and they don't get credit for that and that's what makes them the greatest all around band of all time

Ok, lo que realmente me gusta de este programa es que es tan fiel a la vida. He visto a estos chicos en concierto muchas veces, y así es exactamente como se ve y suena. ¡Sin edición sofisticada, solo el trato real, en vivo y en voz alta! Gracias Chicago. Ademas después de perder trágicamente al gran Terry Kath y luchar por encontrar un reemplazo, el grupo vuelve más fuerte que nunca. Keith es un guitarrista fantástico, Robert suena muy bien en la voz y el resto de la banda está tan unido como siempre. Estos muchachos son verdaderos músicos y lo demuestran cada noche que tocan

Those of us, who were there for the first CTA album, and all albums after, remember all the words to these songs, and in many cases, we can remember the order of the songs on the album they were from.

[@rockandrollbuddha9902]

I'm just learning viewing, listening to, the New Chicago. I'm a Huge Fan of Robert Lamm for many reasons. Aside from his incredible versatile talent, he's a very intelligent and knowledgeable interviewee. I love hearing him talk about the band. Also I Love his Performance. Here I get such a Kick out of him when he does some of the parts that Terry used to do like the intro song and: "It Just doesn't matter any how". Robert is so impressive that at his age, you can easily see He's a Rocker! and He Rocks Well. I still Dig his voice, regardless how senior it is. All in All, I Love these guys, the original band members. I've seen interviews with them and there's no ego between them. A bunch of friendly Rocker, professional musicians, artists, that have been getting along for over 50 years! What band has the Personal Relationship Stats or whatever that these guys have... I wonder... I remember hearing at one time that they hadn't missed a gig in 50 years... if that's true, even near true, that's incredibly amazing fantastic... magical! How could that be? I can't even imagine. I heard that the only gig they only half missed is when at one of their concerts, the stage collapsed... I'm not sure if they went on or not, or played a bit, not sure. Okay, So I have to watch and read more interviews about this New Chicago Band. By the way, I'm looking for an interview where Robert Lamm says that Terry Kath was his Hero. He says a lot of cool stuff about Terry and then says that Terry was his Hero.

[@davewilson7255]

I'm late to your comment. Sadly, egos did get in the way. Why do you think so many of the members have left or were fired? Robert Lamm is great, but drugs did him in for a while.
