Chicago's original lineup is remarkably so talented. I remember listening to them as a kid, and really liked them but as I've gotten older I realize how gifted the whole group was. Great performance.
YES LARRY !!!! ROBERT LAMM AND PETER S. ,WHICH I REALLY DON'T LIKE!!!! PETER S. IS WHOM I'M SPEAKING ABOUT!!!! HE SAID CHICAGO COULDN'T SING !!!! BUT YA'LL MOST CERTAINLY CAN!!!!!! MY YOUNGEST SISTER ♥️, HAS ALWAYS' LOVED THE WHOLE BAND ❤️!!!! I TOOK HER AND MY FRIEND, TO SEE THEM ( IN TAMPA AROUND 1974 !!!!!! SHE WAS SO HAPPY 😊!!!! 1TS' 8:00 a.m. HERE IN FLORIDA!!!! EVERY BODY HAVE A BLESSED WEEKEND!!!!!!
Terry Kath was THE top guitarist, ever !! He was the soul for Chicago. When he died, they lost their core, in Terry. And while they continued, it was never the same.
Terry Kath one of the most amazing guitar players of the 70's, that most people have probably never heard of. rip TK

Even Jimi Hendrix considered Terry Kath an inspiration. That’s high praise considering Hendrix is largely considered the greatest guitarist of all time.
Terry Kath really was nothing short of an amazing musician and soulful singer! I bet he would've still made records to this day, (had he lived). Chicago was fantastic with the original lineup....
Kath would've been the first original member to leave Chicago. He was extremely unhappy with the bands direction long. before he died . If you see the TERRY KATH EXPERIENCE on RUclips hosted by Kaths daughter Michelle. It explains what TERRY really had planned if he lived. Remaining in Chicago was NOT part of his plans.
@@waltersimmons946If I were Terry, I'd have left. He had so much talent and it wasn't really being used in the group after 1973. Peter Cetera became the lead vocalist in the band. But with Terry and Peter, Chicago definitely was a stronger band. It was great to have those two contrasting vocals in one band.
@lamarravery4094 Agreed Lamarr. Cetera, during the interview with Ernie Menous, said Terry , Robert( Lamm ) and Cetera himself in that order wanted to leave Chicago (over various times). Cetera said, Terry went out another way (the accidental shooting), and he said Robert ran him out emotionally 🙄. Terry was unhappy with Chicago's direction, and to be fair, Cetera's songs were 🎵 better and releasable than the other guys songs 🎵 toward the end of the Kath era. I think the drugs really decimated the bands creative ability almost to a point of no return. They're lucky David Foster came in whether they admit or not and partnered with Cetera. That saved the bands careers.
Peter Cetera has the best voice ever. He could rock like a monster and croon like silk. Best all around singer/bass player to ever grace the stage with his one of a kind voice. I have loved him since 1970.Have told my kids they better have Peter Cetera music playing at my funeral.
Rolling stones, the "experts in rock music", lol, released a list of the all time 200 best rock vocalists ever and guess what? Peter Cetera wasn't even on the list. That shows that Rolling stones aren't the experts and don't know what they're talking about. For Peter to be purposely omitted like that is a crime. He's number one on my list.
Jenny that's why he became the voice from the 70's up till the 80's. His replacements tried to emulate his voice. But no one could ever have such an unique voice like Peter Cetera. 🎤🎶🎼🎙🎵🎶🎸🎹🎷
do you think anyone will ever be this nostalgic for 2010? i can't see it. someone saying- if only i could go back in time and see lady gaga. really, you'll never see this kind of musical genius ever again.
NO ONE can play this song with this "one moment" sound . Even now when Chicago plays it the JUST RIGHT sound is not there. Once in a lifetime sound. Sound is where it's at. Execution. Chicago CAN do it. Chicago Forever !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh how i just love them horns!! Thank u Daddy for bringing the horns into our lives when we were babies. I miss u everyday...R.I.P. Joe Y. Luna..aka Joe Moon. Greatest trumpet player i ever knew.
Chicago was fantastic. Love their music. I was 13 in 1970, do I caught somuch if the greatmusic and times. Better place to live then than now. Thanks. Chicago for the memories
peter cetera was awesome on the bass. i play and it isnt easy to play such complex bass lines and sing lead like he does. he is awesome! saw him in concert a couple years ago. his voice is still crispy!
I am James F JR... This is one of my favorite Chicago songs. Written by one of the Horn players I would play this over and over. I would cry those lyrics. I remember I had a crush on a girl and I want this to her. But, she did not call on me . Ever since I have had bad relationship. What a Fool I am. And have been. Oh well... Do any of you guys know what I mean..I LOVE Women but, had bad choices. Made bad Choices. But, Chicago's Call on me helped me through. Bless you all .
I last saw Chicago with Terry Kath in October 1977 at the Houston Summit. I took pictures and have the negatives (yes film) somewhere in my archives. I even wrote a concert review for the Rice Thresher, the newspaper at Rice University. Several of my Rice classmates attended including a short term girl friend. I treasure that memory of seeing Terry. That set was pretty cool.
This was one of the first Chicago songs I ever heard. They were a group I had to warm up to. Their follow up “Wishing You Were Here” was the first one that I really liked because of Terry’s voice and the Beachboy’s backing. It was my first wife who started getting me into them and I became a fan of their rockier and funkier tunes. While everyone was getting into their power ballads, I bought II, VI, and VIII. Ironically I’ve never owned VII but I plan on correcting that ASAP. I really hadn’t listened to them much in recent years until watching a trio of documentaries. I wanted to learn more about them and in the process they’ve now become one of my favorite bands.
Yes, miss Terry Kath & his soulful voice. Hard to believe that deep gritty voice coming out of that young man. Oh, what could have been. Rest is peace, Terry.
Think about it. No lip synching. No auto-tune. People not charged hundreds to thousands of dollars for tickets to listen to a crap bunch of 21st century gibberish noise acts on stage. Raw imperfect bad day for Peter is even still better than most big act singers in the 21st century on their best day.
This hit by Chicago was the 227th #1 song on what is now Billboard's Adult Contemporary charts. It also hit #6 on the Top 40 charts. On a personal note, I saw Chicago in November 1986 at The Scope in Norfolk, VA. It was the first of many concerts that I would see during my time in the US Navy.
Simply superb! Chicago put out a ton of really great music. It's no wonder they sold so many recording albums and had/has such a huge following, and their longevity continues! At 78, I will also continue on listening to them. My favorite band!
This Band in their original era 1967 to 1978 was so good, different and unique they scared their critics with hatred and ignorance of them. Still does today. The critic haters of Chicago are missing a giant part of great energetic tapped into music history what music should be done exactly like. If the critic haters of Chicago just don't get it they will never get it or begin to understand it all. The soul vocals and rhythm of Terry. The percussion of Danny and Laudir. The bass and vocals of Peter. The band section. This band wasn't a fluke or accident in time. It is what music should always be creative about in the way I also enjoy the Moody Blues and Other great 20th Century Bands from the US and around the World.
Had an opportunity to see original lineup when they used to come to the amphitheater I think I also saw them at the Chicago stadium. The Chicago transit authority album was a Musical statement that remains relevant.
They've been playing since the '60s. Getting ready to see them in October in Florida. They're billed now as the only American group to have Top 40 albums spanning 5 decades! Guess I'm old since I've been listening to them the whole time. Chicago was my first rock album as a kid.
Now you know darn well that's not happening 🙄 any time soon. Especially if Peter Cetera's retired, Walter can't tour with the other members of Chicago, Terry's spirit somewhere in the universe.
In the Summer of '77 I Was In Köln, Germany. Had planned to go to see this performance, but instead I ended up in aKöln hospital! So I still know where I was while Chicago played Essen ;-)
You would be correct they deserve more than they get, that was one tight band and the horns were part of that great band. To bad peter and band mates had personal problems . Sad ending .
I had a blast - thanks for posting. This reminds me of the yester-year in Saigon before I fled the country to immigrate to the states. Chicago won me over w/ their instrumental piece " Mononucleosis" then the Joe Cocker-like voice of Kath "Make Me Smile". I still love the band after all these years!
Oh I sure miss the old line up, really miss Terry, and Peter and what ever happened to Laudir??? He was a great percussionist, and he gave the band that little bit of "salsa" or "Latino" flavor to several of their hits in the 70's, anyway, thanks for posting this, sure makes me smile and cry!!! Gonna text it to my older bro, thank you so much, I appreciate it!!!!!! Peace & Love from San Diego, CA
this is the bomb youtube channel. man, chicago is one of my favorite bands and this is one of my favorite songs. just heard this song on the radio and i knew that i would find it youtube.
Great Song!🎵😎60s 70s 80s and early 90s music is cool. I enjoy all kinds of music.🎼🎶Real Voices Real Music Real Instruments Real Voices Real Music 🎹🥁🎸🎤🎷I'm so glad I experience music like this in my life .❤this song! 👍❤✌🇺🇸😊
Great song! Great band! Thanks for posting this. Neat to see them Live then. Saw 'em a few yrs ago. Sounded just as good, only with short hair. Guess some'd say that's another sell out? Nah. It's all about the music & the memories it brings back for me from Jr,Sr Hi & Army days. Wow! How many decades do they span? Some whine about folks who left or joined a band. I just know they made a heck of a lot of great music. & who cares if it hit #1? If you're that unhappy, just don't listen anymore.
On this day in 1974 {August 16th} the ABC television network aired the Chicago special 'Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch', featured guests were Anne Murray and Charlie Rich... At the time Chicago's "Call On Me" was in its second week at #6 on Billboard's Hot Top 100, that would be its peak position on the chart... Two days after the special aired, on August 18th, the record would reach #1 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart... The song was track two of side four on the group's sixth studio album, 'Chicago VII', and on April 21st, 1974 the album peaked at #1 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart... Two other tracks from the album also made the Top 100 chart; "(I've Been) Searchin' So Long" {peaked at #9 for 3 weeks on May 5th, 1974} and "Wishing You Were Here" {reached #11 for 2 weeks on November 4th, 1974}... And for what it’s worth; the day the special aired the #1 record on the Top 100 was "The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace...
It is the melody in the horns, guitar and keys that most makes it unique and memorable. The drums are very good, but not unlike the drumming in other pieces of music.
This goes out to my sister, Margaret Postel, who passed way 4/19/2018. This song reminds me so much of you. I remember you singing it and smiling. I love you and miss you so very much. 😢❤
Many thanks for this and all the other Chicago treasures you have posted. Geez, I could have heard them during the era of this performance, but wasn't listening to Chicago then...well, better late than never! Much appreciation.
Los tres días que tocaron en México en noviembre de 1975, fueron insuficientes para la gran cantidad de gente que quería verlos. Hubo gran alboroto y destrozos alrededor del Auditorio Nacional y no regresaron hasta 1991. Gracias por postear, Begjenny! Saludos. Carlos.
Story goes, Loughnane wrote a rough draft of this song, a very rough draft where it didn't sound like it does now. He was showing his song to the band members, everyone told him forget about it. But Peter felt bad for him, so he worked with Lee to create one of their best songs ever. And Lee got the solo writing credit but Cetera should've gotten a cowriter credit for it.
We had it all in the 70's didn't we.
Chicago's original lineup is remarkably so talented. I remember listening to them as a kid, and really liked them but as I've gotten older I realize how gifted the whole group was. Great performance.

Never be another Peter cetera... I was 14... Great song
Great days. Chicago was a great sound in the 70s. RIP Terry Kath. This song reminds me of easier days in high school.
Been on a Chicago binge,as of late. Great song,Great band! RIP Terry.
I would love to go back in time and attend that show.

One of my favorite songs. What a perfect blend of rock, jazz, and Latin. Excellent!
You’re right about that!!!
😂mine too beautiful break up song luv this band luv.their music
I think of my late wife, long lost girlfriends and past love interests when I hear that song.
May I add Some Soul.
This is my all time favorite Chicago song!
This is one of my favorite "Chicago" songs.
And this performance is amazing.
Yes indeed!!!
America's gift..... Chicago... "But if you need a friend Mama. Count on me cause l luv you." Luv it!
On top of all of the other great comments, Danny was the best drummer they ever had 👍🏿
Tris Imboden and now Wally Reyes are pretty good.
@@henryhernandez7281Yes, now that you mentioned it!!!

@@tjrox His voice is very strained. Maybe he had a cold, or was just worn out from all of the touring that Chicago did.
How does Peter compare to Geddy Lee?
Don't think I've ever heard Cetera miss a note, what a voice
he was a lil flat on this one
Jenny that's why he became the voice from the 70's up till the 80's. His replacements tried to emulate his voice.
But no one could ever have such an unique voice like Peter Cetera. 🎤🎶🎼🎙🎵🎶🎸🎹🎷
Paradise yeah, uniqueness, not perfection. Cetera is amazingly good!
Holly Mulchi I would definitely say unique and perfection no one could come to his distinctive beautiful voice !!!!!!!
Jimi Hendrix did, he said they has "one lung."
do you think anyone will ever be this nostalgic for 2010? i can't see it. someone saying- if only i could go back in time and see lady gaga. really, you'll never see this kind of musical genius ever again.

Two other tracks from the album also made the Top 100 chart; "(I've Been) Searchin' So Long" {peaked at #9 for 3 weeks on May 5th, 1974} and "Wishing You Were Here" {reached #11 for 2 weeks on November 4th, 1974}...
And for what it’s worth; the day the special aired the #1 record on the Top 100 was "The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace...
How does one put such good music together? great band
the horns and drums on this song is amazing!!!! one of my fav songs!!
Yes indeed!!!
It is the melody in the horns, guitar and keys that most makes it unique and memorable. The drums are very good, but not unlike the drumming in other pieces of music.
@@hankwilliams5622 Agreed!!!!
I was 15 in high school Chicago stirs up great memories for me.
This goes out to my sister, Margaret Postel, who passed way 4/19/2018. This song reminds me so much of you. I remember you singing it and smiling. I love you and miss you so very much. 😢❤
Irene Garcia im so sorry for your loss may you keep being strong
I'm sorry for your loss. May you find peace and solace when you think of her while listening to her voice in your dreams as she sings this song.

Thank you whoever uploaded this
I know Right!!!
It's so good to see the Great Terry Kath and Cetera....!!!
Chicago definately has their "own sound"... They were VERY CREATIVE back in the 70's. This was a great lineup.
Agreed!!!!
it just doesn't get any better than peter cetera in this video. love the outfit. love the hair. love the song!!!
Many thanks for this and all the other Chicago treasures you have posted. Geez, I could have heard them during the era of this performance, but wasn't listening to Chicago then...well, better late than never! Much appreciation.
Their music is timeless!
These guys kicked butts when I saw them in the mid seventies and still do!
Los tres días que tocaron en México en noviembre de 1975, fueron insuficientes para la gran cantidad de gente que quería verlos. Hubo gran alboroto y destrozos alrededor del Auditorio Nacional y no regresaron hasta 1991. Gracias por postear, Begjenny! Saludos. Carlos.
Tienes razon...muchos Mexicanos aman a Chicago por todo el mundo.
I saw them at Manchester on this tour Awesome!
Super group in their heyday. All 7 could play. So sad when Terry passed......But Chicago died the night Cetera left
The soul of Chicago died with the Passing of Terry Kath. Too much elevator music afterwards.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that Peter Cetera made the group
They had good music after that but yeah the soul did die a little.
I would have to disagree... They died with Kath! The true heart and soul(and leader ) of the band! Everyone falls for that falsetto though
Nah-he wasn’t the strength. He left and became a non-entity to me.
Amazing! Always liked Chicago, especially this tune.This is the first time actually seeing them perform. Thank you.
They were great!!!🌻🌻🌻
Simplemente no podre dejarla de escuchar toda mi vida... ya llevo más de 30 años hay la llevo.
Jesus Ramiro Del Bosque Geniaal!!
Orale!!! Yo desde 1970!
Lee Loughnane hit it out of the park on this one, superb song. Plus Together Again, is very lovely !
Story goes, Loughnane wrote a rough draft of this song, a very rough draft where it didn't sound like it does now. He was showing his song to the band members, everyone told him forget about it. But Peter felt bad for him, so he worked with Lee to create one of their best songs ever. And Lee got the solo writing credit but Cetera should've gotten a cowriter credit for it.
Best brass ever Ceteta was Chicago so talented luv this jam
Pure talent! ❤❤❤
True!!!
