I have watched parts of that concert probably about fifty times, mostly to see Terry Kath’s guitar playing. But the thing that stands out to me as surprising was that Peter Ceterra played a killer bass. I didn’t even know he played bass at all, by the 80s he dropped it and just sang schlocky songs that high schoolers like me rolled our eyes at. But back in the day he was able to hold his own in the original lineup of Chicago ... no small feat of musicianship. Who knew?
Isn’t that something? It’s just like Phil Collins. Of course for years, Phil was regarded as one of the best drummers in the business, and Pete was pretty up there with bass players. But now both are better known for their schlocky 80s solo material.
But real musicians know how good they really were.
Didn’t know that either.
