I went to see them twice and this iconic song is the number one main reason why I'm a fan of Chicago and I'm friends with the current and former members of the band.
uh,...that is not the guitar solo i was expecting. but they still sounded great as a band. if you haven't heard the original solo, you should hear it first, then hear this.
Very enjoyable. But honestly if you want to hear how the guitar solo is really done, watch Chicago live at Tanglewood July 21, 1970, here on RUclips. Terry Kath plays one of the greatest lead solos ever on this song. It still gives me goosebumps!😋😋

@@keithsullivan5815Actually, Robert Lamm on keyboards is one of the three remaining original members. Only two in the horn section are original members.
Some very bad answers here. Arguably the most signature member of the band is still there. Robert Lamm, who wrote not only this song, but is both the writer and the lead singer of Saturday In The Park, Beginnings, and Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is, has been there the entire time.
Great song and performance! Bread and circuses is all the ruling elite have to give as America’s middle class disappears into a morass of for profit endless war!
Singer sang sharp. He was off. If you want to hear this as it was meant to be? The Tanglewood version from 1970 was FAR superior to this...not because it's old...because it's just musically better. Trust me.
@@DD_LetTheDogsOut Thanks for telling us what time it is. Does anybody really know? And since you didn't see them in the early 70s, how can you compare? It's mostly a different band?
@gooddaysahead1 Well, I can disagree.✌️ Next, I LOVED it! They rocked!👏 I was looking to see if they were close enough for me to go again. I hope I see them next year!
Am I here to listen to something musically superior? If I were, I wouldn’t be watching anything close to this video. Of course something performed in a person‘s prime is gonna sound like it was performed in their prime…. Who cares if he’s sang sharp, it doesn’t take away from the genuineness I think you have quite a misconception of the whole reason why any of us are here
He actually goes sharp on some of the hold notes. Probably from pushing too hard. Most times singers are flat on the higher registers, but his problem is the opposite....not a bad thing. Wish I had what he's got!
Lee (original member on trumpet)on that double F# @1:19. He’s got chops.
im a chicago fan...and wow that vocalist is amazing

The whole band did a phenomenal performance . And that dude sang the s#!+ out of that song!
Neil 🤘
I thought that was a chord😂. I tried to musicaly read it and then i got it😂😂.
Nah he's shouting and giving migraines
Thanks Chicago for a great show in Albuquerque last week! Hope to see you again next year!

You got it! 🤟
To be fair that guitar player has enormous shoes to fill! Terry Kath was irreplaceable!
In fairness, who hasn’t heard the original
My fav of the whole evening!!!
As a cynical Canadian:
This is one of the most awesome, most American things I've ever seen.
And the singer, Neil Donell is Canadian.

Yeah, we know…
Fabulous! Spot on. Fan since I first saw them at 12 yrs old! 🎉

Wonderful!! 🎸🎶🎺
Toujours des frissons après toutes ces années ! Merci Chicago ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Anyone who says Neil sounds terrible should have their ears checked.
His voice fits perfectly with Chicago!
Old dude can still bring it.
I have a bunch of concerts/interviews on my channel (going back over 50 years)
Wow. Awesome 😎👍👍👍👍👍
This band is awesome today Still the man with the dark glasses sounds awesome ¡
Who’s that monster singer?!
Neil Donell and I've seen them in concert twice and he can belt it out for sure!!😍
Tribute band
Are they're any of the original members currently touring? (Sorry I'm a millennial but I love their songs)
The 3 guys that make up the horn section are the only original members

Not a clue. the middle class is alive and well. and the poor have elevated as well.
Who's the lead singer here?
Neil Donnell
This vocalist is perfect for them. Much better than Jason Scheff.

Disagree... these guys are still great! We aren't in the 70s, by the way.
I just saw them live in Clearwater, FL... Spectacular!!

Karaoke singer Neil every one. Joke. Shame on Pankow & Lamm for replacing Jeff Coffey & Jason Scheff for this clown.
Fixe.
The only difference I notice is the hair fall
The vocalist is always too high! That hurts (but only if you got ears!)

That is the beauty of a live performance without autotune. You are obviously under 40 and/or have not been to many live performances before 2000.

I heard that nowadays singers are not allowed to sing live by contract, cuz they dont want the public how shetty they really sound..
Ugh
Just not the same. This guy sucks.
Wou wou..that singer ...fals notes...fals, fals..🤑🤑🤐
Beautiful! Takes me way back!🤗
