Danny has always been in my top 5 favorite drummers.

[@cannibal4363]

Great clip, interview. Those days are long gone.. No more energy or "fun" in the music business.. Thanks Joe for these historic interviews.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks for watching Can.. much appreciated…Joe

[@trevorgwelch7412]

Joe is the best in the business.

[@olesarge1724]

Chicago’s music always invokes those good ole days of young and fun

[@birdman1112]

Thanks Joe. Appreciate your devotion to Chicago.

The edited version of Chicago songs were all I knew as a young kid listening to AM radio. I didn't hear the long versions until many years later. "Beginnings" was especially creative and worked to finally get the song in the top 10. I still prefer to listen to that edited version as it is part of my childhood.

[@philcory5043]

What brilliant foresight you have Joe to have captured all of this history. You deserve to be honored officially for your efforts. 😎

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks for your supporting us Phil……. Best, Joe

[@MichaelPaul155]

@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Merry Christmas to you, your family and the whole staff.

[@wendymartin8619]

Get well and stay well Danny! A great guy and awesome musician!

[@christopherstapleton2934]

So interesting, Rock and Roll hit it's pinnacle in the early to mid 1970's...the creativity and inventiveness and most of all, heart.

[@syn707]

Chicago Transit Authority….that’s what I knew them as. Seeing them in California in the 60s you knew the band was going to leave big footprints. An incredible group of talent. These two are like brothers now with a history going back decades.

[@fivestring65ify]

Another great one Joe. Love this stuff.

[@pagecampbelljr4562]

A brilliant drummer 👏

[@paulnicolosi4792]

Thanks Joe- I spent some time talking with Pete Cetera and heard some great stories about the early days of the group. Keep up the stellar work!

[@kathyneville9768]

1969-1970. Members of Chicago came to our house in Warrington Pa. My husband was a drummer in his own band and jammed with Danny up in the loft of the barn.

[@jeffmill999]

The first live concert I ever saw was Chicago at KC Royals Stadium ...It would of been May 11, 1974...I sat on the infield close to the stage back when you could bring a blanket and soft drinks into the stadium...Never forget it. Saw them July 1, 1982... Terry was gone and they closed with an instrumental version of 25 or 6 to 4... What a band...

[@nellymoriarty_5783]

Yes, sitting @ the Church, reminiscing, fantastic Joe

[@blueticecho5690]

Hi joe I got back home from Vietnam May 2 1971 and on May 4 my buddy was working as a stage hand for the city of Omaha let me in to show of Chicago got to talk to most of the guys the fact that I'm polish I was talking to Peter about great bars & polish food Omaha and Chicago the one thing I remember today is that back then they all were wearing tee shirts & Levis before the silk shirts and leather pants. And I asked if would play the new song called Lowdown and when they did Terry looked over at me and nodded. sooo cool will never ever forget.. thanks Joe.

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Blue… that is a great story… especially for me as Chicago was the band I most wanted to be like. I loved playing Lowdown with our band. Terry was … along with Hendrix… my most favorite guitarist. C,S, N & Y were a close second. My band played a lot of Chicago songs as we had a horn section doing Stax and Motown before Chicago hit the big times. God bless you for your service in Nam. You guys were of the greatest generation too in my eyes. Merry Christmas… Sincerely, Joe

[@efhs1970]

Joe, great episode! I love the 2:74 bit, even management gets creative! Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas 🎄!💫

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Merry Christmas Larry…Joe

[@calsurflance5598]

I love these relaxed story times. Great stuff as usual Joe!👌

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks again Cal… Merry Christmas to you and your family… Joe

[@Ed_Stuckey]

Two minutes and seventy four seconds. Good thing it didn't get to three minutes or it wouldn't have gotten air time. Always give the boss what he wants.

[@leeholzmann1023]

good one joe...

[@jamesm.3967]

Joe, these videos are fantastic. I’ve been in the museum once and plan on going back every time I can..when I’m in Nashville. THANK YOU!

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks for watching and thanks for visiting the museum. How long ago were you there? Merry Christmas James….Joe

[@davemack7740]

👍

[@jacktolmachoff7547]

Ya Joe !! I think the fun is missing in a lot of things these days

[@sapelesteve]

Interesting video Joe! Chicago is one of the greatest rock bands of all time and Danny is one of the greatest drummers! Happy Holidays to you and your family! Be well and stay safe! 👍👍🎄🎄

[@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum]

Thanks again Steve…. Merry Christmas…Joe

[@berliner0]

Danny rocks

[@newking70]

The fun sure has went away.....

[@theodorehall322]

the motto of the time was don't trust anyone over 30.

[@Music--ng8cd]

It's not 3 minutes 14, it's 2:74. Fuggedaboutit......

[@Drumguy48]

Chicago lost their way completely when Terry died and Danny was ousted. The current band is a pale imitation. Walfredo Reyes Jr should have stayed playing percussion. He can’t cover Danny’s parts faithfully . Tris Imboden could and tried to be faithful to Danny’s parts.
