Jason is such a great and genuine guy. We’ve had some e-mail correspondence and he has been nothing but gracious. No Super Star mentality here. Love his voice and because he is such a great guy love everything he does

[@rzrbckmz23]

My favorite Jason Scheff sung Chicago song is "Heart in Pieces", the lead-off track on Chicago 19. Great mid-tempo rocker.

[@waltersimmons946]

Wish that song was a single.

[@lamarravery4094]

Chicago 19 was an awesome album, Bill Champlin sang the lead on 4 top 10s and Jason had his hit with What Kind of Man would I be? Diane Warren wrote all those hits. Twenty1 should've done great as well.

[@jasonburger3533]

​@@lamarravery4094I think that "21" was as good as the albums you listed. I found a not ever-before-opened cassette tape of "21" sold online recently and of the compact disc version of "21" that had not ever been opened. There seems to be renewed interest online of the "21" album.

[@eddynewton4081]

Jason is such a class act. He is on the same cut of the cloth as Lou Gramm

[@generay6807]

And the best singers in Chicago were Terry Kath, Peter Cetera, Bill Champlin and Jason.

[@texashazzard7606]

Robert is good too though but Jason was always my fav Chicago vocalist

[@John-Edward]

Robert Lamb is great too!! And still in the band!!!

[@brandonbutler9786]

Jason Scheff is one of my favorite vocalists ever! His phrasing and vocal chops are just perfection! I love it. Why are You Calling Me Now really shows off his vocal chops.

[@louisabraham9462]

Great Artist and wonderful human being/ a truly class act!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RG-hf4et]

Chris Rodriguiez is a real bad ass guitarist & singer. Got to know him a bit while going to many of Peter's solo shows before he retired in 2018. Great guy, too! 🎸

[@Supermonkey22]

I’ve seen Chris Rodriguez with Kenny Loggins and then years later touring with Keith Urban. The guy is an amazing player/singer.

[@peevee605]

Generation Radio is a great band; I wish the mixing engineer would have done some more sonic luxury as they have Deen Castranovo on the drums. Jason’s voice has been getting stronger after Chicago and the sweetness in his tone is luxury.

[@robertbdesmond]

Jason was great in Chicago and beyond. Super musical and talented.

[@fieldysgrl98]

Love Jason and the new Chicago album.

[@toddboothe1846]

I really like the 2 original songs I have heard.

[@JasonicaPR]

I don't know...At times I think that Jason loves to be self depricating. Always speaking about how negative was David Foster about him, that Peter was the big standard, that Jason didn't blame David to be thinking like that. To me it's clear that Jason was too young and tender and inexperienced as a vocalist and he wasn't the most appropriate candidate to fill Peter's spot at that point. But the Chi guys saw something so big in him, because they embraced him strongly. It's sweet that Jason is very humble, but please, not so much that he ends diminishing and exposing himself. I'm becoming very tired of hearing the same things from Jason when he speaks about his tenure in Chicago. Damn, he was 31years in the band. Aren't there enough things he could talk about?? Experiences, stories, projects he was involved with, his achievements with Chicago. Jason is much more than the guy who have to fill the so called big shoes!! He was so young, innocent and inexperienced, but he grew up, he got much better with every album. He recorded so many wonderful Japanese covers, he wrote some great tunes for his first solo albums. Why doesnt he highlights that? He recorded a lot of wonderful music for Chicago's coming back to radio in 2006 with XXX. There's so much to talk about Jason Scheff, and those topics are never touched. Jason hardly sings any of his songs from Chicago 19 outside "What Kind Of Man". He hardly speaks about Chicago 21. Very rarely speaks about the brand new songs from his latest solo album Here I Am! What about Wonderful Day??!!! 🌞Never Even Had the Chance?? 💧 He has recorded so many good rock and soulful tunes, homages to various great artists, a capella music that he hardly speaks about. So much great projects he has been involved through his nearly 40 years in the recording business...His beginnings with the Keane Brothers Band. Many things! So it's frustrating that Jason always kinds of belittles himself, in a subtle way, just between the lines...Sorry but it's what I feel. He needs to believe much more in himself. I love and admire him so much, and he's much more and has so much to offer than what he ends talking about often on interviews. 😞 But thank you for these clips, and I hope to enjoy them all when you put them!!

[@lovecraig84]

I'm diggin this channel... totally

[@RG-hf4et]

This channel is awesome!!

[@JasonicaPR]

I understand Jason now doesn't go searching for fame and fortune, he is not obsessed with that...His best years were already delivered, ('or wasted depending the way people looks at it) to Chicago. Jason doesn't have any more ambitions at this point if his life, and is just grateful. But now that he's not part of Chicago anymore since six years already, he has a very precious chance to be himself, and be as creative as he wants to be, and leave Peter's shadow behind, for once and for all. While he just goes on and on performing the Cetera hits most of the time, and his own hits fewer times, the diminishing comparisons and cruel comments will never stop. Jason has now a valious opportunity to gets far from all of this and focus on the new music and the new collaborative projects he's into, and he can show again and again, what a really great artist he is, because I think the majority of people all can already perceive what a great person and class act guy he is. But he still has to believe more in himself, and love his own original art much more, so people can appreciate him and truly know who and where he is as an artist, without no comparisons or prejudices. Those are my true wishes for him.😌🌟

[@nealschneider1082]

Does Jason get into why he left Chicago?

[@wendyc7730]

Holy Smokes! Just stopped the video and typed Generation Radio into You Tube search. This is. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! Deen's vocals are top notch. I didn't realize it. Everyone can sing.

[@GuitarAnthony]

No problems with Chicago 18? Not what Danny Seraphine said in his book.

[@jamesmiklos8710]

Chicago 18 the remake of 25 or 6 to 4 Jason singing on will you still love me at first it was strange but I got used to it

[@geraci89]

Lamm definitely said (referring to Jeff) something along the lines of “this is the best bassist singer we always wanted” or something very close to those lines when I saw them in Toronto

[@JulesFox]

Great episode and interview.

[@alanfurlong-drummer4419]

Jason the greatest vocalist Chicago ever had.

[@fieldysgrl98]

he's good but no one can touch Terry Kath, Robert, or Peter.

[@TomYankton]

Thank you, John!

[@mandiferrer]

Jason was Bobby Caldwell's co-writer of Boz Scagg's hit "Heart of Mine"

[@waltersimmons946]

Jason Scheff sounds a lot like Bobby Caldwell (RIP)

[@texashazzard7606]

U have to get huey lewis on for an interview

[@cowboyupdrummer]

I’ve met Jason several times Have been on stage with him (Chicago) several times ACC great interview.

[@robc1961]

Jason. Has always had a pitch problem. During the Foster years autotune did a lot for Jason. Whatever the case he is a great musician and his vocals are getting better over time.

[@PickettMusic]

Always, ALWAYS loved this guy. His online courses helped me preserve my voice for tons of live shows...and he's just a helluva nice guy. Such a great interview!

[@Kimt33314]

They are very nice guys. And came out are greated fans after the show.

[@RG-hf4et]

5:20. Lamm always throws digs in his interviews about past members. Not nice. He has no problem ca$hing in on Cetera's songs all these years later. Screw him. Got to pay all those alimony checks, right, Robert?

[@davidcarney1827]

How cool would it be for The Firm to make an album now

[@cowboyupdrummer]

Yellow brick road was MY Sgt Pepper.

[@ZumaDogg]

The Generation Radio album is out. It's a home run. Every song is good. Fills the melodic rock void. Better than Journeys new album by 10,000%. Just the right touch of country flavor. Very contemporary sounding. Not cheesy or dated sounding like a lot of new rock from classic artists. Great songwriting/musicianship and production.

[@artvandelay8090]

I never liked the way Scheff yodeled when he sang.

[@artcorvolet]

🤔

[@stevencochran5301]

The combat is still there!

[@mandiferrer]

great content, as usual... how about having an interview of Jimmy Goings, the guy who replaced Leroy Gomez in Santa Esmeralda. Both who are now seniors have each rebuilt the band, with Leroy maintaining the orig name Santa Esmeralda, and Jimmy using the name (new) Generation Esmeralda, with most of the original members with him. Warmest greetings from Manila, Philippines!

[@michaelhalas4287]

I was super-excited about this band, but Deen going back to Journey knocked the wind out of my sails--completely. Deen sings lead on my favorite GR song "Lights Go Out In Paradise". To say I'm heartbroken is an understatement

[@milanomaker]

Hi from Philly

[@jeffreysnow2640]

You should do a video on John Kay & Steppenwolf, starting in 1980 when he went back on the road to force the " bogus " Steppenwolf bands from touring

[@Kimt33314]

Saw them in concert last night. They are fantastic.

[@3rdRockRider]

Jason is the man! He has done so many cool projects outside of Chicago. But after seeing a number of YT uploads, I was really concerned GR was just a cover band doing each band's old hits. Then they released their video singles and I was blown away. If they don't hit the big time with this album, I will have lost faith in humanity's taste for good music.

[@JasonicaPR]

Definitely the Covers will be an important part of what Generation Radio does, but they are a group with their own identity, able songwriters as well as musicians, and I am very glad that they also record, and perform, their own material. If belonging to this band makes Jason happy and he can make use of his creativity as well, then I am very happy with his being in this talented group!!

As a 22 year IT guy I would recommend cyberpowerpc for a new box. All my home rigs I've ordered from them for almost 20 years and have never been disappointed. I use for gaming, graphic art, music and media productio. Infinitely configurable and great service and they are usually running some special. Love the channel. Keep it up!
