@@andyscott5277 The live show of theirs I remember most is one I went to back in the 80s. They were playing in one of those domed sports-stadium venues, with the stage at one end of the oval -- so the seats at that end of the oval, behind the stage area, were not *supposed* to be occupied. But the show sold out so fast that the promoter decided to sell those seats as well, so there were about a thousand fans back there who were basically paying to stare at the backs of the band's heads for two hours. :( And then, halfway through their set, pretty much the whole band suddenly turned around on stage and started playing for those guys in the "bad" seats. :) (Well, except for the percussionists; you can't exactly rotate an entire drum kit 180 degrees on a whim.) And not just for one song, either; they gave those guys a good half-hour of the show, just to make sure they got something worth seeing for their money. I always thought that was a very classy move on their part.

I started my first horn band in high school after them when they came out in 1969, so that makes me an old guy who's especially glad you're gettin' off on them today. If you wanna check out other tunes where he sings lead AND blows guitar wtih Chicago, check out "In The Country" and "It Better End Soon." One of my faves of his is "An Hour In the Shower."

He is the best drummer I have ever heard, and I've listened to a lot of great drummers like Stewart Copeland (Police), Ringo, Keith Moon, the guy in Dave Matthews Band, etc. But Danny Seraphine is just amazing, and so underrated.

In fact, when they played the short version, I'd get angry, as I do with ALL short versions. But "Dialogue 1 & 2", the way it builds in intensity, not just in volume but from its arrangement, wow, ending with "We can make it happen!" gospel chant until it gets clipped halfway through the word hap-

That’s right, can’t forget about Robert Lamm, completing the baritone, tenor, high-tenor trifecta. Lamm wrote a lot of the tunes, at least early on, and let the other guys sing them if he felt their voices fit better. Sometimes they’d all take a shot at it to decide who’s voice was right for the song.
