*******************
I've been with this band since CTA, they never let me down. Still miss Terry Alan Kath.
a GREAT musician!
I too miss TK and a lot of the fine, fine musicians who’ve left the band after his passing - but MOST of all, I miss the band not waiting for YEARS to go by to put out a new album. When they started out, it was at least one per year, and a few of them were DOUBLE RECORDS !
This is GREAT !!!! Let’s get it on radio, fans.
Indeed...He Was A Bloody Monster On Guitar...Especially On Free Form Guitar From The Chicago Transit Authority Record...
Got the opportunity to see Terry Kath 8 Times and I'm not exaggerating when I say he by far was the best guitarist I ever saw. I went to a lot of concerts in the 70's & 80's and Terry was the man.
One of the best guitarist of that era even jimmy Hendrix said he was
The best love these new tracks looking forward to getting the new album
Been listening to this awesome group since the 80a and took me 2 years to buy all there CDs
Saw them in concert a few months back and have been listening to their songs since. It’s crazy to me that a band of over 50 years is still going strong and attracting new fans!
i hope you enjoyed it. i believe this could be there final album
@@DRAGON_FAN_TIM I hope no.. So sad 😕😕
It supposed to be! But than I have all of their cd, and records, use to write a list of 45’s when my dad would go shopping and he would buy them 4 me!
Been following them since 1968, go to their concerts every year.
That bass is on fire! I can't wait to crank this up on the home stereo, with enhanced bass! The vocals are smooth as glass, great hook lines in this one.
Got that old Chicago sound. Keep it going!
Well no, it's not "that old Chicago sound".
This song oozes with a slow burning funk that puts a big 'ol Cheshire smile on my face. And hats off to the sound engineers who captured a great recording and mix. You hear every note of every instrument.
This has become one of my favorite songs. My late husband loved fireworks. He called me his little firecracker (for reasons best kept to he and I) and the ring tone on my phone is “bad to the bone”. He had his first heart attack unfortunately on our wedding day. However the ceremony was beautiful although we spent our honeymoon in hospital. He died of a massive heart attack 16 years later. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of him. He would have loved this song. Thank You Chicago. What a coincidence to hear this unusual song. We had a good marriage until the end.
Magnificent! I have been listening and playing Chicago music since 1968… so happy to hear the Chicago sound that has been missing since Chicago VII. Pete Cetera… David Foster produced albums that made you a solo star but killed the sound you helped create.
Great song! Neil Donnell is so versatile and great to hear Robert Lamm!
I don't hear Robert Lamm - wish I did ...
@@banthony9154 You can hear him at the end. And I believe he and Neil sing a duet at the bridge
are you saying that’s Robert singing lead….I don’t think so?
@@weksheddweller I don't hear Robert on the bridge.
I finally heard him going oh-oh-oh someplace near the end. It would have been nice to hear more, but Neil sounds great too.
They have appeared at the theatre where I work on multiple occasions and the band members are gracious and as wonderful as the music they make 💖🎶🎷🎷🎺🎺🎹 💖
One of the best bands of the world !!!!
Oh my gosh! I love this song!! Can't wait to hear more ❤️
Terrific band for decades. Concert this Friday, can’t wait. Their new album has new sounds and newly written songs. I’m lucky enough to see them in person a couple times every summer in Southern California.
Hehe! Friday night, just came home from Five Point at Irvine. They were great.
Outstanding! I've been a huge fan of the group since 1984. I enjoy all parts of their career from the late 60's, throughout the 70's, 80's, and 90's, as well as currently. This summer, I will be seeing them live in Chicago for the 55th time, on their 55th Anniversary Tour, just a few days shy of my 55th birthday. Hope they do this one at the show. 😊
The sweet vocal sounds of Neil Donell.
I dig this sound, right out of 1973! Man I miss this sound from this band! Probably the best song they have put out in 30 plus years in my opinion! Great job guys!
If you listen to some of their albums in the last 20 years they still have this sound but people don't know they don't listen to all of their tracks you have to listen to everything they release and I guarantee you will hear songs that are similar to this but this is a great new track this new album's gonna be fabulous
This band means so much to my family for decades
Classic Chicago!!
Used to play their music in my head while in the jungle...you know when...God bless them!
What a great track! This is the most true soul sound they've had since the Terry Kath days. Mr. Kath would be proud of this one!
No he wouldnt. You can barely even hear a guitar in this song. Sounds more like an Earth Wind and Fire reject
@@billiondollarbaby3276 i disagree; Kath was a master of supporting track guitar work; he wasn't necessarily obsessed with being the lead of anything especially doing vocals; he liked laying down tracks that enhanced a song rather than overpowering a song; and lets face it there isn't a guitarist in the lineup that can do Kath Magic; as talented as Howland was he couldn't touch Kath and Dawayne Bailey was too much into emulating a Metal Guitarist and overplayed his instrument. ( he was also was a constant victim of bad engineering and mixing of his solo riff's). But this song is very good .
I have no idea whether or not TK would have approved or disapproved of this track. I am not sure that is relevant. What i find relevant is the transition of this band from a rock rhythm concept supported by horns to a pop rock horn band supported by rhythm instruments. My preference is the former, but that is just my preference. Regardless, one cannot challenge the Tom Brady-like ubiquity of this group. Although I prefer the hard, blues production of the band's early pieces, who is to judge what transforms men over the period of five decades. Like it, dislike it - enjoy it if the former; move on if the latter. Just my thoughts - see my previous sentence. I was very sad at TK's passing. I will be sad when CTA's time is finished, though its music was, is and will be a part of my life.
I love this band so much, the previous song made me cry
Flashes of years-gone-by Chicago. Love it! Vocally strong album! Pankow's horn chart... fun! Better get this one on the next LIVE Tour, boys.
Has a “Sledgehammer” from Peter Gabriel vibe. I can dig it.
Yes it does. Farm Out!
Really not! This song is far away from "Sledgehammer". I cannot hear anything from Peter Gabriel. This is a softfunky song like from Cetera's ghost. Nothing about the band from the late '60s - early '70s, it's Softrock.
Sledgehammer that attached Firecracker. Sounds like custom weapons from "Dead Rising" franchise haha.
It shows their greatness their soulfulness their funk they're already they're such a great diverse band and they don't get recognized for what a great R and B band they are they are they are one of the greatest R and B bands of all time
It’s good to know this is straight Chicago and no studio session players, especially since this was recorded entirely on the road!
Love this album! As we say around here " ain't a clinker in the bunch"!
This man can really sing!
Natural segue in concert should be this followed by "Saturday In The Park". Sounds nice like the Chicago I grew up with in the 70's when Terry Kath RULED with his Strat & his Pignose Tele.
@@3rdRockRider Maybe VIII, I'm thinking about VII in the vein of "Happy Man". Similar tempo and vibe. I wouldn't put those two adjacent on the album though. Maybe a few tracks apart.
Catchy lyrics... like it a lot
We want CHICAGO to play Australia again ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
🙌🏽🎼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am in my 50s but I only dived into Chicago's discography over these last six years. I love how the early Chicago albums were heavy on the horns and perfectly balancing the line of funk/soul, and rock. And it's great to hear that they still have that magical sound in 2022. Thanks for making a great album CHICAGO.
That sounds like Tower of Power for Firecracker, Chicago Style!!!!!!
Excellent track. Pankow's still got it.
Great song 👍🏻 excellent recording with super mix 👍🏻 very good vocal arrangements and sound and also brass very good sound.
Wished many of the older recordings had that mix quality.
Hope to hear more new stuff of my all time favorite band .
Greetz from Germany 🇩🇪
Another good song from the grestest American band EVER!
Nice new one! Go Chicago!
Nice 👍
This is Neil Donell on lead vocals- he’s been with the band since 2018. Although I do believe that’s original member Robert Lamm singing “yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah… it’s hot!” at 3:14
Nice funky sound!
Saw them in concert several times, they are fantastic! Saw them several times, better every time!
Just thrilled in Ohio & Michigan!
At Detroit and at the Toledo Zoo!
Como siempre EXCELENTE, a poco mas de 50 años de existencia. Tuve oportunidad de ver a la banda original junto con Laudir de Oliveira en 1974 en el Auditorio Nacional en La Ciudad de México, ahora tengo 67 años y no me canso de escucharlos. Tengo todos sus discos, incluyendo los 4 LPs del CHICAGO IV. Un verdadero agasajo. Un Gran Saludo y Un Gran Abrazo a TODA LA BANDA desde la Ciudad de México.
Vicente, aquí está otro que estuvo ahí. Al día siguiente los periódicos publicaron fotos de la actuación de Los Maestros, que al pié decían "Por ver estas fachas los jóvenes tiraron las puertas del Auditorio Nacional y quemaron autobuses" jajaja.
Por ahí debo tener alguno de esos periódicos todavía. (También tengo todos los acetatos).
¡Saludos! 🇲🇽
Así fué, y el grupo tuvo que sacar bafles al exterior para que los que no pudieron entrar escicharan el concierto. Saludos.
Always loved Chicago especially the ''16'' & ''17'' albums. Whilst touring the States from north to south in 1990 ( I live in the UK) I happened via chance to see them live in concert at the Las Vegas Hilton hotel auditorium, Peter Cetera had left the band & was replaced by Jason Scheff, who was equally a great vocalist & they were just brilliant!!!!!! Heavy too!!! Its incredible that they are still producing fine music albeit with different members. What a band, what a treat!!!!!!
Добре познатият и любим стил на Чикаго от средата на 70-те - можеш да чуеш всеки инструмент, а аранжимента на браса, просто кърти! The well-known and favorite style of Chicago from the mid-70s - you can hear every instrument, and the arrangement of the brass, just moles!
Cheers to beautiful years to come for everyone here ❤️
If she's a firecracker this tune should be more aggressive, up tempo, and CRACKin. !!
Can see this showing up in some romantic comedy film soundtrack end credits.
Great job guys!
glad I'm not the only one who thought that! :D
🔥, Song could’ve used a guitar solo but it was 🔥 nonetheless.
EXCELLENT song! Chicago has gone back to its roots!
This is the only upbeat song on the album!
I've lost interest more and more since the 80's, still one of the bands I grew up listening to in the 70's. But they're making some good *_new_* music here and there, which puts then ahead of a LOT of bands from that era. This does have a nice classic Chicago sound.
Pure fun! Puts a smile on my face every time.
Great New Song 👍😎
GENIAL 👍🆗🇲🇽🌎👋☕😷
I like this song. I wonder who sang background, sounds like Jason Scheff. I don't hear the guitars though, need a guitar solo in there somewhere to call this a Chicago tune. Horns are everywhere though, liking that. Dig the funk.
Very fresh, lively and upbeat song from Chicago :) Very good bassline and vocal arrangement :)
Also remind me of Monkey House (Don Breithaupt band who was released new album in this year too)
This song is on fire 🔥🔥🔥💫. Can't wait for my CD 💿 and Vinyl I ordered both This album is going to hit the charts with a lot of hit songs 🌟
The adult contemporary charts, no more top 40 for these guys, that's for the kiddos.
Great Song! Destined for Stardom.
sounds great
Yea boy!
Great new song! Nice funky groove.
great song .
TONIGHT IS THE KICKOFF OF CHICAGO & BRIAN WILSON CONCERT AT AK CHIN PAVILION
OPENING NIGHT OF THE 2022 NORTH AMERICAN SUMMER TOUR
Me too!!
SUMMER of 2022 Boss Hitbound CHICAGO with "FIRECRACKER"
I have been listening to the band Since the early seventies and one of my favorite bands of all time I miss the old guys. keep growning as a band and the next generation as well. Sound awesome
Absolutely genial 🔥
I can hear Terry Kath singing this tune... wish there was a way to do that!
Let it be, Kath died a long time ago and if he were still alive he would've left a long time ago. Accept the new Chicago, time marches on, at least there's still 3 originals still in the band.
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Love it 🥰
Man...this is just superb!
Great song!
Bring back the horns, Terry would be proud 👏 🎺
Good funk
👍🙂
I see a Grammy in the future for them!!!!
This album doesn't need to be validated by a Grammy to be great, it already is.
good song....these guys have been listening to Tower of Power.....wish they would tour together
top chicago
Still got it. This song is sexy .
Just got sly and the family stones greatest hits.this reminds me a little bit of them.ive got this album pre ordered. I think it's going to be great
good thing about the group Chicago is that they don't use auto tune
Ordered my copy cannot wait!
The Firecracker rift sounds a little like Sledgehammer to me.
This is another awesome new song. For some reason, this reminds me of some of the songs from Chicago VII (the embossed leather album cover). As I have said, I haven't enjoyed the band this much since Chicago 17/the year 1985.
Probably reminds you of their Life Saver song from Chicago vii. That was a funky tune as well.
@@lamarravery4094 - you're absolutely right! 🙂 This song does remind me of Lifesaver.
That was really good concert, it bet very fantastic.
Debuted in my weekly personal music charts on June 12, 2022 edition :)
Grandes como siempre. Viva Yeste y San Bartolo
Can anyone tell me if any of the recently departed members will be on the album and if all the vocals will be split between Robert and Neil or will Loren have a lead vocal on the new album and any hint of a full release date?
This is definitely not the same CHICAGO! It's different❣️Take this S📀NG to me it has this sound and feel like "Joe Cocker's - You Can Leave Your Hat On" 🎩🎶 meets the Big Brassy Band Chicago. It's a real C👀L Blend! Kinda how they did that concert with 'Earth, Wind & Fire" it just creates this new sound and unexpected rhythm. 🎵Their classics are soulful, heartaching, and hauntingly beautiful, but I don't think most are really songs you can dance to! ;) Haha, they're touching and deep, but these are lighter and happier feeling! 🎶This whole album sounds great and you can move to,gr👀ve to and dance 💃to these freer, upbeat S💿NGS!🎵 Chicago's evolved in a G👀D Way with a new flavor that I really LIKE! 🔥😎💓👣💖🎶 😻
2020-2022 was a very good year for Westcoast / AOR music. Old and new artists released a lot of good stuff
- Chicago, Monkey House released new album
- Steve Lukather, Joseph Williams, David Paich released new album that all great.
- Bill Champlin "Livin for Love" very strong album
- Kenny Pore released new album that worth to checking out if you like Instrumental westcoast
- Super DB, Drugdealer, YATTE, State Cows, Ole Borud, The Strike, The Midnight continued released good songs.
Japanese Fusion Band T-Square released new album "Wish" that also worth to listen (If you like Kenny Pore)
Kere Buchanan currently making new album.
WOW ❤
💃🔥💃
Great song! Are they playing this on tour?
I dont thing so
To Each Their Own...But I Rather More Prefer 1969 To 1977 Chicago...
You're living in the past man.🤡
Definitely sounds like an AM Radio mix. Would be nice to have a funkier Bass.
💃💃💃💃💃🎸
Almost sounds like a collab between Chicago and Huey Lewis and the News. Love it! Pop Rock/Blue-eyed Soul goodness :D
I like Huey Lewis and the News, but Chicago were making funky, soulful songs like this throughout the '70s, before Huey and the News got together. If you haven't heard the soulful side of Chicago, check out "It Better End Soon," "I Don't Want Your Money," "State of the Union," What's This World Coming To?," "Scrapbook," Taking It On Uptown," and many other songs!
@@christianman73 Oh, I've heard every tune from the whole Chicago catalogue. Huey and the News are definitely a younger band were known to blend pop with old-school soul and R&B, basically what 70s groups like Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire, Tower of Power, to name a few have laid the foundation for. This new single has that blend of old soulful 70s Chicago with some modern sounds.
Too bad this and "If this is Goodbye" are not getting much if any radio play. People don't even know Chicago is still around.
The people that don't know Chicago are still around aren't true fans.
Fan de votre musique depuis le début. Fantastique son,merci pour votre travail. Quand votre venue en France ?. VIVEMENT LA SORTIE DE VOTRE ALBUM .
Excelente sonido .Saludos desde Bogotá.👋👋👋
Muy grandes Chicago band!!!👍👏👏👏
