A song from my youth.
I hope you enjoy.
Absolutely my favorite Chicago song
Leonid and Friends version:

Samuel drummer now - Igor
Different guitarist but his name is Konstantin
Both nice guys
Terry Kath was an absolute beast on guitar.
SAME drummer now - Igor
Thanks again autocorrect!
January 1978
Terry Kath was awesome
They were a flawless, innovative group; and Terry Kath was incomparable on lead guitar.
Interesting to see the difference in Cetera singing before he got his jaw busted.
Danny Seraphine, such a criminally underrated drummer.
Chicago sucks. The original intent in forming the group was to “start a revolution,” and not the musical kind. Ok, so they had a lot of hits, but their songs are staid, lackluster and boring. Music is subjective; like them if you want, but my take is I will never miss hearing any of their music.
For “Questions 67 & 68,” the band name was “Chicago Transit Authority” which us teens in-the-know called “CTA.” But the REAL CTA in Chicago got made and made them change their name.
Innovation at the time was amazing. CTA, BS&T, Beach Boys, Santana, Diana Ross, Nazz, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Taj Mahal...nothing like that era ever since.
thank you...
Awesome. Thanks!
Earliest video I’ve seen yet.
Pankow and Loughnane (sp?), classically-trained and fully-intuitive horn players...
U R right about Seraphine
I always wanted to like the band, but the horns just ruined it for me.
And they fired him. Wasaaaay back
I don’t know why. BIL heard him call into a Denver radio station back late 80s or 90s.
Loved his playing on Live at Carnegie Hall.
Saw them in the summer of 70 (maybe 69?) in a small auditorium at Va Tech. They had just cut the cta album but it wasn’t yet known.
Blew my mind. Kath was a monster, the horns were hot.
Very innovative stuff at the time.
Oh it’s the one from France
I’ve watched that one a few times
Good video
I never saw them.
Great performance. I had never heard that tune before. I didn’t realize the band was from Russia until I read the notes.
