I was 15 when this tune hit the airwaves. Today I am 68, and it is fresh as ever ! Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

Jim Peterik after all these years... my God. Unbelievable how great he is. Then AND now. Vehicle is one of the greatest and one of my favorite songs of the 60's. It STILL sends chills down my spine when I hear it today at age 65! Jim has written many other songs including Eye of the Tiger from Rocky 3. Music is in the man's bones! Thanks for the music Jim!

[@mgcmail2002]

Sorry, should have also credited Ides of March. Sorry guys! Duh!

Great job gentlemen. Last time I played it (trumpet) was probably 50 years ago and I still remember the fingerings. My trumpet teacher would love this guy - no head movement, steady left hand, straight ahead positioning.

[@allenhonaker4107]

Ides of March, Blood Sweat and Tears, Chicago, Light House and Tower of Power. Those" Trumpet playing bands" that Knoffler makes fun of, but I Love❤

[@mgcmail2002]

You got that right. Chicago has 21 top 10 singles! Twenty freaking one! Add in all the rest in the top 50 or top 100. Just amazing.

[@jillwehner603]

You mean Knopfler? Screw him LOVE the sound.

[@davidrecord3928]

Better than most bands today

Oh man, what a song... You make me recall my childhood; my father (he died back on 2017)... A waterfall of memories of the good times back on the 70s. Thank you and greetings from México.

This live version of Vehicle by Ides of March has a lively and colorful music energy.

En aquellos años de principio de los 70s habia bandas que utilizaban instrumentos de viento como Chicago y Blood sweat & tears

Nice job! Good to see Colin up there too.

Awesome, wonderful

[@CosmosTheMouse]

Odd question.... Was there ever an official "Santa's Vehicle" recording? I know it was done live a couple times around Christmas.

[@ruthparker1140]

("Sgt.J.") "Very good Stuff!" If kids don't wanna play classical music in School. They Can Rock This. The Drums are Good. Bass Gtr is Good. Granted it's not what I, Was playing. But, I've liked that stuff since I, Was a kid. I, Have been to a Few B.S. &,Ts concerts. 1Chicago headliner. And, 1 where they were a guest. Tower of Power. As a Guest. I, Don't think I, Have ever seen Chase? Or, These Guys. But, Woulda liked to.

[@billakers6082]

Of all the bands that need to retire, this isn't one of them.

[@markjaeger5863]

Great tune. Played it many times in a horn band. I do wish Jim Peterik would lose the purple hair and the auto-wah during his solo though....
