Ides of March - Official Concert Video of "Vehicle"

Filmed at House of Blues. From CD DVD 50th Anniversary Boxset entitled "Last Band Standing"

[@jamescarter4175]

These guys still sound as great as they did in 1970!

[@Sam-qm1io]

I'm 63...and I get winded just bending over to tie my shoes. I'm guessing Jim Peterik is not a smoker.

[@charlescontreras4135]

Being that I'm from Chicago, I can tell you that The Ides of March are the pride of Berwyn IL!

[@Sam-qm1io]

The pride of Berwyn was the car-kabob...now it's Jim Peterik.

[@charlescontreras4135]

@Sam-qm1io I remember that car-kabob! I was so pissed when they took it away. But you're right, they'll always have Jim.

[@randallamirante3112]

I am from Chicago as well and lived in Berwyn for 14 years....Ides of March and Chicago had great horn sections

[@Sam-qm1io]

@@charlescontreras4135 That thing was so cheezy it was cool. I recall it found its way into a movie...I think Wayne's World? The owner of the plaza fancied himself an artist, and in addition to a dozen (or whatever) smaller interactive pieces in the mall, there was a yellow Vega exploded and affixed to a wall near Walgreen's, meant to resemble a squished bug.

[@blueridger28]

I'm hearing them loud and clear from Grassy Creek NC! Brilliant!

[@charlesdobbs4570]

Classic. This song will Never get old.

[@LesterMoore]

Great music is never out of vogue and style. Just timeless.

[@lindabergman3127]

Agreed100

[@Sam-qm1io]

The song? Jim Peterik is what never seems to get old. He's much older than I am...and I get winded tying my shoes!

[@zavman109]

Awesome all around, but the brass is what makes it, oh yeah!!

[@lindabergman3127]

Leonid and friends tribute band covers this song n it’s fabulous and beautiful music and ides of March compliment them in penned comments 😂

[@mgcmail2002]

I've been listening to this song since 1970 when I was 11 years old, and to this day it still sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it! Great God in heaven you know I LOVE this song!!!

[@vivatones66]

As a drummer it was always so empowering to play this as a cover song in 1971 in the most popular club in Chattanooga.

[@neilouellette3004]

Jim Peterik. One of the best songwriters ever. Hands down.

[@catsteele]

Great God in heaven ... fantastic line!

[@bobcaldwellrocks]

This song is the embodiment of the male psyche at its euphoric best

[@nigelwright850]

God, that's a great comment. Spot on.

[@jondvorak659]

One of my all time favorites!!!

[@chejlr]

Just awesome, i was 13 when this came out. It was huge.

[@rigelmoon9030]

Jim Peterik is an American icon. My generation latched onto this tune and never let it go. It was a 'get your ass off that bleacher and dance' head banger.

[@ruthlundy4497]

Still spectacular and rockin it out !!! Bless 'em ..

[@JuanGomez-mj6uq]

Para mi pasaron 51 años y no puedo olvidar esta canción. Sencillamente, “sensacional “, y ya no puedo escribir nada más, las lágrimas no me dejan. Gracias por compartir.

[@Malo7979]

Still Great, forever great

[@mauriciosandoval40]

Oh boy..... how I Love this one, heard it for the first time in 1971...was 15 at that time and still love it at my 66 years old. Never makes me grow older....

[@Miki981]

Incredibly enough, they sound better live than on studio recording, and some of the guys are in their 70s! Amazing!

[@cherriphelps0108]

God, I love this! 💘

[@NoneOfYourBeezWax13]

Me too!!!!

[@judmcc]

The first concert I went to in 1972 was the Ides of March.

[@Neilfrozn]

This is one of the BEST rock songs EVER written! I'll never get tired of hearing it!

[@deltonkillen8024]

Oldest son was 3rd trombone in 1991 edition of the Maroon Typhoon Marching Band at Jones County Comm. College. Their field show that year closed with "Vehicle" and "I Can See For Miles". Quite exciting with these two high power numbers.

[@user-bc1gi2cl7y]

I was only 9 when it was released, but I still can't help but dancing when I hear it. Especially in my Camaro.

[@jamesbond9291]

This is talent kiddies Live. No auto tune.

[@HistoricalOlive]

Gonna be playing this in Jazz band next year :D (we play this song every year but next year will be my first year in jazz band. I play trombone.

[@Sam-qm1io]

Cool. Good for you...more horn players are needed.

[@JerryLeeHowell2]

Oh mannn is this good! Still going soooo strong!

[@maryann_bekind]

Love this song!. Love the Idea of March and grew up not far from Berwyn, my cousin's lived there and I had many friends that lived in Berwyn. One of my friends lived in Countryside and one of the members of Survivor lived in his condo building. Jim Peterik performed at an ALS Fundraiser that I participated in with one of my oldest and closest friends, she had been diagnosed with ALS just before her 50th birthday. It was a Rock-a-thon fundraiser for Les Turner ALS foundation. We had a great time. Unfortunately that was the last time I was able to see my friend. She passed away the following year.

[@stopmakingsense1543]

This song popped into my head. Had to take care of the ear worm. Glad I did. Better than I remember.

[@marystaab9962]

This song had a great soundtrack back then and sounds even better now!

[@kitsmith806]

I was in highschool when this came out, it's one of my favorites and hearing it again is such a treat❤️👍🏽

[@edharmicar6227]

Discovered Yes when I was a sophomore in high school.Heard Roundabout on the radio and bought the lp.that day.Untouchable musicianship and lyrics.An FM station in Sharon Pa.signed off about midnight to the tune Heart of the Sunrise.Some memories last.

[@cupofshutupjuice]

This is the song that plays in my head every time I walk my bloated ugly ass into a bar to hit on the laydezz!

[@ronnieparkerscott6223]

[@jimhudson1737]

1978 WKU graduate here. WKU had a lot of great concerts in the 70’s, but no more.

[@deivyth1981]

Bandas mundialmente famosas como Chicago, Earth Wind and Fire, Tower of Power son consideradas las mas importantes del genero funk y sus grandes temas musicales memorables sin duda por algo son respetadas a nivel mundial. Y lo seguiran siendo. Pero este tema en particular de Ides of the Marchs llamada "Vehicle" es sin duda el himno nacional de funk estadounidense. Dicho por un Méxicano sin temor a equivocarme o hacer de lado todos los temas músicales simbolicos del género Funk.🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Great god in heaven you know I love this vehicle!
