Sweet!
If I could have played like that at my high school talent show, I would have gotten all the ladies. I’m being realistic and only picturing myself on lead vocal and lead guitar, naturally.
No big deal always hated Chicago's horns blaring away.
It works fine for me on firefox.
maybe you have the speaker icon thingy muted?
I just look stupid to troll.
They sound better than Chicago. But equipment is much better today. Was the singer in a booth by himself?
1973 - Bangkok -walked into a club. We could hear the band but couldn’t see them. They we’re playing 25 Or 6 To 4. Buddy said Holy f...! Chicago’s playing! Sounded just like them. Went around the corner and saw it was a Thai band. When we listened carefully we could tell they were singing phonetically and obviously couldn’t speak English.
outstanding! It maybe a little faster than Chicago’s original but it was fantastic. Chicago blew away the borders and combined hard rock with big band jazz. It was a dominant force in rock for some time.
Blood, Sweat and Tears had a great debut in that genre but couldn’t stay together for more than that.
This was recorded in Kiev in the Ukraine and some (maybe most) are Ukrainian.
I’m A Man WAS The Spencer Davis Group. Little Stevie Windwood was 14 when they recorded it.
Those horns were why the song was so great. Without those accents it would have been good but not great.
Wow
AWESOME! LOVE IT! Brings back so many memories of better times.
Love this!!!
I have to say I LOVE Winwood!!
It was written by Steve Winwood and performed when he was with the Spencer Davis band
Terry Kath was the most underrated guitarist ever. Chicago died pretty much when he did.
Look up Gimme Some Lovin when he was a kid. I’ve always loved that song. I was 14 when it came out. And 52;years later it’s being used in commercials. Coolest riff. Simple high E to an octave down to a low E.
Another great period Band that couldn’t stay together was traffic.
Yeah 1965 the year I graduated high school, Stevie Winwood and Spencer Davis band nailed it to the wall with “Give me some Lovin”.
Wasn’t Steve Winwood like 16 at the time?
Absolutely awesome. I would go and pay to see them if they came to U.S.
