I was at this concert. I was in the Army, stationed at Camp Zama (outside of Tokyo) and I got free tickets from the Army Service Club for this concert. I got to the Budokan very early and just wandered around and literally ran into the band…they treated me like I was one of the group…one of the biggest thrills of my young life…I am in my late sixties now, and look at that night as one of the great nights of being a music fan.
" Legendary singer, trumpeter dies after long illness" Fans and friends are mourning the loss of swamp pop legend G. G. Shinn, who died Tuesday after a long illness. A singer and trumpet player for more than 50 years, Shinn performed with the Fabulous Boogie Kings, TSC Trucking Company, Roller Coasters, Hot Damn Band and Chase. RIP (ref：www.theadvertiser.com/story/news/2018/08/07/singer-gg-shinn-dies/929503002/ )
Simply beautiful comment. Only recently I bought in Japan 'Ennea' signed by Bill in 1972. Hard to believe he was dead only 2 years later. It has been framed and it's hanging on the wall in my music studio. Absolutely amazing band...you were so lucky, you saw them live.
@@tomrott5333 1971. I heard GET IT ON on the WLS AM radio. Chicago. I was 8. My cousin played trombone at South Shore H. S. Huge fan of Tower Of Power, Ides Of March, Blood Sweat & Years, CHICAGO...CHASE. I heard ENNEA in 1972. Scared the heck outta me & excited me all at once, Chase played their final live show at FACES! on Chicagos' North Side. Then...tragedy struck. Just like Otis & Buddy Holly.
I loved them. Fantastic band. They died two years later near the town I grew up in southwestern Minnesota. They died in a plane crash in Iowa. The news showed their instruments in the crash. Chase played with the best, with Maynard Fergusson and Don Ellis. What a terrible loss
They did a concert in my hometown of Athol Ma not too long before the plane crash that we used as a fund raiser for the high school band. Bill did a workshop for any of the high school trumpet players in the area that wanted to come. It was as awesome experience. The guy was so gracious to all of us in sharing his tips on playing. I was on the stage crew for the concert and hey guys were all so polite and appreciative.
ty for putting this up; i learned how to get range from "get it on" in highschool. before that i just accepted an above the bar c, after listening to Bill nad his get it on madness i got the double c with clarity. I just love this stuff and while he's gone his music does live on.
I heard this band just before the plane crash. The trumpets weren't even miked, and they knocked me into the next decade. Probably the best trumpet section I've ever heard.
I knew Bill And all the Chase members. Was a copilot on his DC 3 Airplane we flew them to many many concerts. Fortunately was not on board April 9, 1974. Chase concerts were not like any of today’s concerts. Shame they are not here today. The band members that drove became The Survivors and made Eye of the Tiger.
G.G. We miss you! Great seeing Ted singing on Glad Bags. G.G. played trumpet as well. Bill at his best! Way ahead of their time. Cut my teeth on this music.....
Miss you Ted Piercefield. Thank you so much for your music. You and Bill are back together now. Your voice was a perfect fit for the early Seventies. "So what I suggest you just throw them all away. The handbags turn to gladrags that your grand dad had to sweat to buy".
They played at my high school around that time. Back then our gym was probably the biggest place in my SC town.. but me being a trumpeter in school made this the best concert I ever saw to this day.. thanks to chase I made a career playing trumpet.. you could say Bill Chase was my hero.. and still is ..
was that Florence SC March 1973 where nobody showed up and the newspaper reviewer chastised the townsfolk for choosing TV over the Chase concert...as he should :)
I got to play with G.G. Shin in 2008 at the ITG in Banff for a Chase tribute concert. I know it was a little controversial at the time that Jens asked me to play in the section, because I was (obviously) not playing in the original band. The local rhythm section had completely underestimated the complexity of the music, and it was a challenge to keep this thing together, to say the least. And one of my jobs was to look after G.G. and his wife during the week. G.G. was almost 70 that week, and he sounded exactly the same as he did in 1972. He would look at me to know when to sing, but he remembered the lyrics of every song in the book. He was a trumpeter as well, and he thoroughly enjoyed dozens of trumpet concerts that week. A very nice person, and what a singer.
GG Shin and the Boogie Kings. Remember them well from Lake Charles, Texas Pelican Club. Blue Eyed soul at its finest. He had a great voice, great soul and loved people.
I saw these guys practice on my brothers farm in South Africa (he was the sound engineer on their South African tour). Blew my mind and changed my life.
Chase played a concert at my high school in Arkansas not long before he died. Great concert, was supposed to be a fundraiser for the HS band but lost money.
Only recently I bought in Japan 'Ennea' signed by Bill in 1972. Hard to believe he was dead only 2 years later. It has been framed and it's hanging on the wall in my music studio. Absolutely amazing band...only 3 albums.
FYI - GG Shin, singing Lead at the time is still performing Today at 72 in Lafayette LA... Still hitting all the notes. Every One! Love Chase and Love GG.
この日本公演のLive動画がアップされるのを心待ちしていました。ありがとうございます。当時、小学校６年生で、同級生が合唱会で「Get It On」を口パク（Lip Sync）した時に初めて知り、４本のトランペットソロの美しさに感動したのを覚えています。すぐに、シングルレコードを買い、中学に入ってからＬＰレコードを買いました。当時は歌詞の内容を知らずに、トランペットソロのかっこよさに憧れていましたが、トランペットの美しさに反し歌詞は小学生には過激な内容だったのですね。
This is decent material. Never seen, heard this before. Bill Chase certainly was a great trumpet player, showman, with funky jazzy tunes. We appreciate the post!! Many thanks.
RIP. He died in (close to) Jackson Minnesota which is where my mother grew up and graduated from High School. I received every one of their CD's from his manager after I had ordered two CD's and they were out of print....had thought was an internet rip-off when I received a box with a bunch of CD's and a personal note apologizing and explaining who he was. Was VERY cool.
That was great! Just like I remember their concerts from '71 and '72. The recorded versions don't show the musicianship and creativity that we heard live and see in this video. Thanks.
This band was phonomial I listened to them on 8 track. Truly remarkable sound and band. Wish they still made music paved a way for other bands and we know who they are. RIP really enjoyed this group of musicians.
first Chase track I ever heard was "Swanee", after purchasing Ennea just based on the cover. (still one of the great band portraits). Hooked immediately. Ennea is still my favorite brass-rock album. Only one cut from the "Zeus" suite made it into the setlist of this gig..too bad.
yep, that was Bill and the band in full flow...I regret not having seen a live gig by these cats....man they are so on it in this gig....I mean what do the young bunch call this.. sick :)
I WATCHED AND LISTENED. from up a tree outside the Newport Jazz Festival..and organized the rowdy Crowd..who succeeded in crushing the Fence during Dionne Warwicks performance later on.
I had a chance to see them back in the 70's at Ferris State Univ. Bill Root our Band Director said that its was mandatory that the brass section go and see the concert. What a magnificent show Mr. Chase and crew put on. Unbelievable that most of the brass didn't even read music!
I too attended that show! Unfortunately, as a 12 year old with sensitive ears, had to leave at intermission having held my hands over my ears the entire time. My ears ached for days!
I heard Bill Chase at White Concert Hall in Topeka Kansas in the early 70's....................Get it on in the Morning Now............................Rainbow Bob Wichita......Topeka Jazz WorkShop
I have a cassett tape of Chase when they appeared in Kenosha, Wisconsin, when my son was in the high school band. Will have to look it up, probably from the 70's.
Rap killed musical forms like this that require extreme skill. That and airplane crashes. I saw Chase in downtown Houston at La Bastille, a basement nightclub. My parents were local musicians and I was 12. My stepfather turned me on to Chase (breaking the Elvis grip). That opened a whole world of music for me. Blood, Sweat and Tears and Chicago. I also fell in love with classical music...the Blue Danube from 2001 A Space Odyssey.
Wow It is great to see this. In Margate, NJ in the early 70’s I played trumpet in a house rock band. We had guest acts too. Well one night the Chase band came in and we split sets. How would you like it to be a trumpeter following Chase’s set. I had very good chops but after my band members heard Chase they busted my balls saying “What’s wrong you, why don’t you play notes like that?
I was there also and 19 years of age at the time. The club was "Gables" with the year being 1972. Seeing Chase in a small venue like that sure left an impression. Regardless of the quality of this video it's priceless.
Its only now today that came to my knowledge that g.g.shin is died on 2018,so sad about this fact.One of the greats in voice.RIP - 12:45 p.m. sunday noon time lunch break/031923 RICHARD JOHNTRANI fr. ASIA
Kind of like a collaboration between the original Chicago and Buddy Rich's 70's swing bands. The singer sounds like Chicago's great guitarist Terry Kath. I vaguely remember the name from the 1970's. Good stuff. commercially viable in those better musical times.
Maynard had way more power in the higher range, Bill was awesome but Maynard can't be touched, there's only a handful of players today that can come close.
I really got "jazzed" about Chase with their "Pure Music" album. It really was when the band really came together and developed a more free-ish and exploratory period. Their first couple albums weren't as cohesive as Pure Music. I was in high school playing trumpet. Man...could they play....then....it all came crashing down. Tragic. They were on the brink of creating a great blend of "hot" trumpet....soulful solos, rockish tunes, with a great bottom bass line. No doubt they had the chops.....Listen to Twinkles on Pure Music.
Sorry, but they never should have let Terry Richards go. Much better vocals if you ask me. But the trumpets: unbelievably awesome! It doesn't get better than that!!
Doreen Neidig all great. I heard GG a couple of years ago live in Minneapolis with the Chase Revisited band. Lots of original members - still going it great too. Talk about music heaven!
Doreen Neidig Glad somebody agrees w me, Terry's voice was a much better blend for CHASE, even Ted Piercefield agrees w me on that...Terry sadly HAD to be sacked from the band as he was showing up late for rehearsals or not at all
JJ Martin Thanks, Ive wondered why, but could not get the courage to ask Terry himself! I did talk to him last week...he is very ill, in a hospital. Pray for him

Times have changed. Back then, you could have great tunes, great arrangements, make unusual instrumentation choices, and still gain a following. If major labels still existed in this era, these guys probably wouldn't get heard, let alone signed.
+jimflys2 Been a trumpet player all my life, and never heard of a tripple C. Grand C is 2 Cs above the staff. I used to have a solid grand C, and had friends who had G's above grand C, but never heard a triple C before.
Jason Lindgren There are those who can get to triple C and beyond. I believe Cat Anderson could hit them, the late Bud Brisbois, Scott Englebright among others. Bill Chase while a really solid beast of a player wasn't in the triple C club.
I remember these guys well, I was a freshman in H/S when Bill died but I was a musician and had been listening to them them for a few years ---These were real musicians --Unlike the Crap that is being produced now. ---I continued my musical education & preformed professionally for 30 years. I played Jazz , Blues & R&B--these guys were one of my main influences-along with Wilson Pickett and many others
I was 13 when the plane crash occurred but didn't find out till much, much later. Earlier this month I came across some online info on Bill which mentioned the crash took place on the day Richard Nixon resigned from office.
Maybe I`m wrong but I always thought Chicago leaned more towards rock and Chase a bit more towards Jazz and maybe that`s why the former was more popular than the latter; that aside from te fact that Chicago lasted longer.

It was August 9 1974

Chicago, BS&T and Chase the best things in rock history!!!!
R.I.P. GG Shinn August 25, 1939 - August 7, 2018. Thanks for the music.

What a gem! I too have been looking (from time to time) for Chase video's. This was a blast to watch! Wish there were more.
My father introduced me to the Chase experience when I was young, and this is the first time I've seen this video. Gives me the chills.
Bill Chase.....ANOTHER GREAT .....ITALIAN.....MUSICIAN
Chase played a concert at my high school in Arkansas not long before he died. Great concert, was supposed to be a fundraiser for the HS band but lost money.

Need more bands like this now..I miss it
Great video. Thank you for sharing such a historic gem. Chase was a great band.
ひえ…ええええ！！！
ライブでこんだけの演奏できんのかよ！
すんげぇハイノートを超えたハイノート！
1972年だぜ？
こんだけのテク、当時で…。
バテを知らないのか…ビルチェイス！
久しぶりにチェイスを聴いています。 ライブでこれって凄いですよね。 1972年でしたか。私が高校2年のころ、チェイスを知人から聴かせてもらいびっくりした記憶があります。 テレビとかでもいろんな曲が使われていましたね。 いいバンドでした。 孤児的にはＢＳ＆Ｔより好きでした。
That was great! Just like I remember their concerts from '71 and '72. The recorded versions don't show the musicianship and creativity that we heard live and see in this video. Thanks.

thanks for uploaded :)
Got to see Chase at Big Daddy's in Champaign, IL in the early 70's. What a night.
I saw them in Champaign, but it that one was at Chances R. The first album wasn't out yet, so we didn't quite know what we were in for. Amazing!
超カッコいい！！！

musicians at work. Excellent.
I WATCHED AND LISTENED. from up a tree outside the Newport Jazz Festival..and organized the rowdy Crowd..who succeeded in crushing the Fence during Dionne Warwicks performance later on.
Cool gem from the early days. Amazing that they were alreay big enough to play Japan.
CHASE is at the top looking down on everyone else - then and now
i recognize pieces of the music that i think came out later on their PURE MUSIC album
My friend Lucien Gondren (angel South) guitar , May he RIP , and GG Shinn vocals
Best stage name ever 😈

AWESOME ... thanks for sharing !
Wow! I am speechless.
OMG where did you find this?......I have trolled for 30 years to find videos of Chase. Amazing. Passed way before his time
Back in the day Every HS band and College band played GET IT ON!!!!
Still in my college pep band folder ;)
Yep.
約20年近く前に、エレクトーンとバンドでOPEN UP WIDEをカバーしました。
（選曲は師匠がこの曲やってみろともらった曲です）
その時にこの動画観れていたらもう少し良い演奏になってたかもと思いました。
私の演奏は、結構爆死してたと思います。
CHASEの生演奏、聴いてみたかった！

Great !
First song is a contest which gig they play the fastest. My word.
R.I.P Ted Piercefield.
WOW, WHAT A LOSS 40 YEARS AGO YESTERDAY !!!
To me, Chase is a rock band where the trumpets take the place of the guitars for the most part.
Lucifer gets jealous .
Not because of the ability, it is because of the glory.
That, he cannot share.
Very Cool...
Gotta love an echoplex.
Да это высший пилотаж
この動画の元ネタは、'95年に一瞬だけ海賊版専門店で流通しました。もちろん即刻購入しましたが、画質がいまいちで非常に残念です。しかし音はギター、ハイハットからバスドラまでしっかり拾われており、当時としてはかなりの高音質と言えます。
印象に残った点としては、"Swanee River" の冒頭で観客が乱入したシーンと、アンコール "I Can Feel It" のイントロ場面でなかなかヴォーカルマイクを渡さない B.CHASE にイラついた G.G.SHINN がマイクを BILL からもぎ取ったシーンでしょうか。BILL はアンコールに非常に感激した様子で "Beautiful !" を連呼していましたが、このわずか２年後に亡くなってしまうことを思うと切なくなります。
当時のミュージックライフ誌を今改めて見返してみると、ステージ全景がカラーグラビアで、来日記者会見がモノクログラビアで紹介されています。BILL はインタビューで「我々が演奏しているのはロックでもジャズでもなくアメリカンミュージックである」「我々の弱点が低音域にあることは十分理解している。そのためキーボード奏者にはサックスパートを意識してプレイしてもらっている」「CHICAGOのホーンセクションのパーカッシヴな使い方は非常に参考になる」等々と語っています。また、記者のコメントとして「このコンサートは観客の入りが７割程度と余り良くなく、演奏がハイレヴェルなものだったことを考えると非常に残念である」といった記事が記載されています。確かに "Open Up Wide" 時点では２階席がガラガラです。(その後なぜか CHASE ロゴ入りのプラカードを持った観客で急に埋め尽くされていますが) でも、当時この場に身を置くことが出来たファンは幸せ者ですね。
いずれにしろ、”動く CHASE” が記録された非常に貴重な映像であることは間違いありません。特に G.G.SHINN が歌う "Get It On" は超貴重映像。東京12ch は、当時ウドーのロックエクスプロージョンシリーズをこうして番組化していました。特に、冒頭の "Open Up Wide" で、トランペット音量とオシロスコープをダブらせる映像はなかなかのアイディアです。
Kind of like a collaboration between the original Chicago and Buddy Rich's 70's swing bands. The singer sounds like Chicago's great guitarist Terry Kath. I vaguely remember the name from the 1970's. Good stuff. commercially viable in those better musical times.
+1 sir
Great stuff, How come this is not available on DVD and/or CD?
It is, just not this exact entrance. Killer!
Then, I`ve been unlucky because I`ve not been able to find it but I`ll keep trying.
@@trumpetg1 It was available at one point??!
Is there a way to clean this up it's a shame that someone let this happen to this video if it was film it would probably be a lot better
He is a God. No one - including Maynard Ferguson - comes anywhere even remotely close to him.
Aw, I don't know about that! He was drastically influenced by Maynard.
CaseModVideos Loved them both and still do....they were both extra terrestrials who came down and had the best blow possible...
CaseModVideos Maynard could out do him when he was young. Maynard could go up to a triple C and had power up there.
CaseModVideos Kudos to Chase. Love his style and power. Maynard Ferguson was an octave better than Mr. Chase. Compare age to age. No brainer.
Maynard had way more power in the higher range, Bill was awesome but Maynard can't be touched, there's only a handful of players today that can come close.
I really got "jazzed" about Chase with their "Pure Music" album. It really was when the band really came together and developed a more free-ish and exploratory period. Their first couple albums weren't as cohesive as Pure Music.
I was in high school playing trumpet. Man...could they play....then....it all came crashing down. Tragic. They were on the brink of creating a great blend of "hot" trumpet....soulful solos, rockish tunes, with a great bottom bass line.
No doubt they had the chops.....Listen to Twinkles on Pure Music.
thank goodness for the digital age and this could be saved before it got completely worn out from watching over and over! :-)
...and so is Ted Piercefield!
Is he the one singing Handbags?
Arguably the best lead ever. I loved Ferguson, but had Chase led a long life he would have surpassed Maynard in totalitarity.
I think the face of rock would have changed dramatically. What a tragedy.
Bill didn't have the benefit of modern technology. What a beast.
I don't know what you mean about modern technology, I would call his Schilke B6L with the beryllium bell modern!
I had a B6L Back in the Day But used a Bach Horn Stradivarius High Notes were Easy compared to Using a C7
👍❗👍
Didn't Terry Richards sing 'So many people'? Jerry Van Blair sang one song...?
Terry sang it and recorded it in 1971 but was sacked 1/2 way through the recording of ENNEA in San Francisco
Before seeing this video, I always thought GG Shin was black! It must have been odd for him to sing the tunes that Terry made famous.
GG's the man!
Sorry, but they never should have let Terry Richards go. Much better vocals if you ask me.
But the trumpets: unbelievably awesome! It doesn't get better than that!!
Doreen Neidig all great. I heard GG a couple of years ago live in Minneapolis with the Chase Revisited band. Lots of original members - still going it great too. Talk about music heaven!
Doreen Neidig Glad somebody agrees w me, Terry's voice was a much better blend for CHASE, even Ted Piercefield agrees w me on that...Terry sadly HAD to be sacked from the band as he was showing up late for rehearsals or not at all
JJ Martin Thanks, Ive wondered why, but could not get the courage to ask Terry himself! I did talk to him last week...he is very ill, in a hospital. Pray for him
JJ Martin Thanks for that information. I was wondering why Terry left so early.
T GOD gives gifts. Some enlarge their gifts enough to be recognized .
The difference is pride. Or Lucifer gets jealous . Not for the technique , but the glory.
He rips them. So lesson. Give glory to God. Always t all times. Find the non- envioux God.
- The true G8d. Look for Him. Jesus lived a perfect life. Non of the others did.Researth Lord Jesus .!
Times have changed. Back then, you could have great tunes, great arrangements, make unusual instrumentation choices, and still gain a following. If major labels still existed in this era, these guys probably wouldn't get heard, let alone signed.
+Modes9 It's a shame how 'manufactured' it has become.
This piece was a real bitch for the drummer. Hear how he regroups, fairly successfully, at 3:33.
Jimi Hendrix on the trumpet?
No, il figlio di Maynard Ferguson.
hi
Triple C on that beginning?
Bill had a solid dub-C, no triples
+jimflys2 Been a trumpet player all my life, and never heard of a tripple C. Grand C is 2 Cs above the staff. I used to have a solid grand C, and had friends who had G's above grand C, but never heard a triple C before.
Jason Lindgren There are those who can get to triple C and beyond. I believe Cat Anderson could hit them, the late Bud Brisbois, Scott Englebright among others. Bill Chase while a really solid beast of a player wasn't in the triple C club.
+trumpetvids That's a squeak, not a note. I challenge anyone to produce a video of a meaningful triple C.
Thomas Power "Meaningful" is highly subjective. Not the most melodic range of the instrument of course but some can get up there.
I remember these guys well, I was a freshman in H/S when Bill died but I was a musician and had been listening to them them for a few years ---These were real musicians --Unlike the Crap that is being produced now. ---I continued my musical education & preformed professionally for 30 years. I played Jazz , Blues & R&B--these guys were one of my main influences-along with Wilson Pickett and many others
I was 13 when the plane crash occurred but didn't find out till much, much later. Earlier this month I came across some online info on Bill which mentioned the crash took place on the day Richard Nixon resigned from office.
he had a heck of a diaphragm
Is this Terry Richards singing ??
Let Me Ref raze That The Guy in Purple with a Brown Vest or the Other Guy in Glad Rags color full Shirt Both are Excellent !!!
No, this is GG Shin who replaced Terry Richards as the lead singer...
Man I always liked Chicago and still do of course. But Chase jizzes all over them!
Maybe I`m wrong but I always thought Chicago leaned more towards rock and Chase a bit more towards Jazz and maybe that`s why the former was more popular than the latter; that aside from te fact that Chicago lasted longer.
Chicago didn't get killed in a plane crash.
Нерастиражированный трубач.👍🎺
