I recommend you go see Leonid and Friends LIVE. A Russian/Ukrainian tribute band for Chicago and a bunch of other music from that era. They are on their 5th ?? Tour of the U.S. I will be going to see them this Friday October 25, 2024 Denver, Colorado, U.S.A. Look them up on TH-cam. You'll be impressed.
I played in a cover band (trombone) during my high school years when this song came out ... we worked sooooo hard to capture this sound ! Later in collage must have done this 4 x a weekend... to this day Chicago still drives my soul !!
Man do I wish I was there to listen to such an amazing group who just never skipped a beat. They definitely were one of the best bands of all time. The music they produced was like no other band.
We just lost my brother suddenly and I have been playing Chicago for days. When I was a kid my brother loved them and told me they were the happening band. From that grew a lifelong love of Chicago, have seen them twice in concert and have all their music. This was his favorite song. The other day in the car as soon as I got in, Chicago came on. I hope he is happy now and knows I love him. R.I.P. Terry, hope to see you on the other side. Kate #8
This band was so damn tight, so impressive in its abilities, that's it just staggering to watch and listen -- even 35 years later. I wasn't even around when this concert took place, but I've been alive for all the pre-packaged slop that's out on the circuit now and in recent years. These guys here simply brought their instruments, voices, and passion -- and kicked ass. No lip sync crap. No recorded background music blaring out. No special effects. It's all real and right there. Amazing.
🎉still here listening this beautiful song from my childhood 70s 🎉great time 🎉 happy times a lot fun carefree❤ one of the best bands seventy era 🎉 Chicago 🎉 great time to be alive good old days classic masterpiece is 2024 love it 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Hot summer Chicago nights mid-70s....listening to the radio with all the kids from the neighborhood, great times...then you turn 18, graduate and life kicks you in the nuts....
This song has a breezy feeling that perfectly fits the high altitude, mountain beauty of this outdoor concert. I miss the 70s TV musical specials they’d show every now and then. Sometimes, they’d be super corny, but still interspersed with some amazing musical moments. Heck, even the variety shows and lip synced “jukebox” shows were awesome. The Midnight Special. Rockpalast. Modern TV is sorely missing this genre.
Nobody but nobody could have replaced Pete. I wish he would have showed up at the hall of fame induction for the fans. You didn't need Paul McCartney to tell you how popular you were, Clive Davis over rode the board of directors of Columbia to let you all know how special you were. Wishing you were here proved how great you were. Some people just can't get out of their own way when it comes to accepting love..................
Wow! Your last sentence is so spot-on. My mother is currently on hospice because she didn't know how to accept love or love herself. And I just happened to call an ex-boyfriend of mine from high school because our mutual friend just died from the injections, and his sister did last year as well. And as I was leaving a message for my ex who I am still on good terms with, asking him to call me, this song was on the radio and it caught my attention of course. Describing exactly what I'm saying and feeling to him on the machine. Then found this version to send him, and saw your comment. And looking back, I realize that my ex in high school also wasn't very good at accepting love and still is not. The inner child wounding and the mother and father wounds are soooooo deep... the blocking and resisting so many good things because of lack of self-worth is rampant
@@jenifernadeau "Just the way you are" by Billy Joel was my mom's favorite song. I'm pretty sure she's singing it to my dad in heaven right now!!!..............There is still time for your x.....
I still remember it was my mom who turned me on to Chicago when I was a kid in the 70's.She had every album.No wonder I still love this group.Amazing timing and musicianship.
Me too, favorite song of all time. especially this seening them play it. I always play it at least 4 or 5 times when i get it going "whoa whoa whoa... "you know it.
disco4ever loves this great Chicago tune, Cetera absolutely rocks!! Hey Steve, all the best to you for the 09/10 school year. When feeling stress, just play this song, all will be well....... Love D4ever!!!!
Thanks for sharing this masterpiece from the past! Chicago was an intragal part of my rock and roll up-bringing. Wouldn't have missed it for the world. Thanks again for sharing!
I knew that Chicago did some TV speicals. But it wasn't until recently that I've been able to find any footage of them. I wish that they would rerelase them on DVD. These clips certainly bring back alot of memories! Thanks for sharing them.
Such a great song and performance. One thing I noticed.....I had that exact shirt Peter Cetera is wearing when I was a teen back in the mid 70s. Slightly larger collar...that was the style back then. I remember it cause it was my favorite shirt and the chicks liked it!
Great music & memories of life, absolutely beautiful masterpiece, gold standard of excellence for 50 years, one of best bands of all time, phenomenal sound, very special music, premium gas, priceless music & video
Wow, this song is one of my 'faves' ... from one of my long-time 'fave' classic bands. I'm from Chicago, and I remember when they called themselves CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) ... I think with just their first album. Anyway, I love this song ... many thanks for finding this, Cidalia :)
Man I'd love to see the entire special on youtube someday. That would be fantastic! I think the band also did a special at Caribou in 1973 as well. I believe it's the one with Al Green in it.
I've watched their 1999 Behind The Music and their blu ray of Now More Than Ever Documentary of Chicago, Peter Cetera refused to be interviewed for each of those
When Terry Kath died and Pete cetera left a big change witht the band. To many external people telling them what is best that didn't know sht. The drummer and the horn sections are one of the best I ever heard. Excellent.
If I " can only go back in time"... Beautiful Memories!!!!
@lettyalvarez3102 I agree good old days still here listening ours memories bless 🙌 🙏 enjoy 😉
Yesss.. And were young
The TIGHTEST horn section ever!!!! Just none better.
I dont know about anyone else but the 70's were some good times. Good memories. Good music.
Cantei muito na noite paulista nos anos 70
When greatest bands of all time are talked of..Chicago is never in the conversation. What a shame.
I agree 100%
Chicago's songs are on my playlist. I read the comments so that I know I'm not the only Chicago fan on the planet.
I know right ?? A travesty
Agreed!!!
They're MY all-time favorite!!
nothing screams 70's louder than those arrangements.genius.
Chicago Band # ONE world band ever ...
Hello how are you doing nice meeting you here dear
I'm 32 and i just got to say that the music from the 60s thru the late 70s was truly the best. How i wish i were there, just born too late 😔
I SO AGREE❣️😢

@@snowcrest7863 I did and you were spot on 👌 they were magnificent and truly impressed me 👌
50 years ago! Unreal!
Yes indeed!!!
This is what music sounds like. What a fantastic band. This is how music is supposed to be. Not the shit what we have to listen to these days.
You’re right about that!!!!
Exactly.
Totally agree
Nothing can compare the music of the 70s...
I played in a cover band (trombone) during my high school years when this song came out ... we worked sooooo hard to capture this sound ! Later in collage must have done this 4 x a weekend... to this day Chicago still drives my soul !!

Totally, 👍 Agree!!
Chicago uno de mis grupos favoritos, me recuerdan mi época en la secundaria, amo esos hermosos recuerdos de los años 70's 😂
Love the change of the harmony level in this live rendition .
Superb

The “real” Chicago! Killer song from Lee; Danny & Laudir- pure magic!!
Pure chicago
Agreed!!!
The horn arrangement is awesome and the drumming is beyond belief, there is no weak link - no wonder Buddy Rich said this was his favorite rock band.
Danny Seraphine is a helluva drummer. Too bad that he and Chicago parted company 20+ years ago.
Great! Thanks brings me back. Can't understand why Chicago is NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Because the rock and roll hall of fame is not about music, it's about money. always has been.
They are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, inducted in 2016!!!!
@@johnlv12True!!!
I was 14 at the time this aired on TV. Waited the whole summer for it...
Such a beautiful, magnificent song!!....Wonderful, love it!!!

I remember watching this on the tube back in the day. The fire side Happy Man was cool also. 😍
Such a wonderful mix of jazz, R&B & rock from these guys. I love Chicago!!
Hot summer Chicago nights mid-70s....listening to the radio with all the kids from the neighborhood, great times...then you turn 18, graduate and life kicks you in the nuts....
The greatest Jazz band ever.
Call on me is definitely one of my faves. Too many to list. Yes. TIGHT. great song CTA. ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Probably one of my favorite Chicago songs.
My favorite song and video. Terry is still there awe so beautiful...Chicago VII favorite album of all time
My favorite 🎷🎷
Chicago VII has always been my favorite album. Love to return to 1974, and be a 19 yr old United States Marine.
@@usmc-veteran73-77 I was a 20 y/o Army guy then
Mine too, Deb.
Beautiful, just beautiful..
Agreed!!!!
The arrangement of this song is just superb along with the singing of course. They’re all excellent.
Agreed!!!!
Rest in peace, Laudir de Oliveira. You added so much to Chicago's music in the mid 70s up through 1981.
Second your sentiment, and yes he did.
😭No lo sabía 😢
Just reading this now but I could not agree more & this is my favorite Chicago song . Thank you Lee Loughnane
RIP to a great musician!!!
Agreed!!!!

Same here. Miss that era.and the feelings it evokes
My favorite Chicago song! I had my Fender Rhodes piano redone in White like the one in the vid back I’m the day!
So bittersweet seeing Terry Kath young and alive.
True!!!!
Never get tired of this. What a great song!
You’re right about that!!!
I was born too late to see Chicago when they shot this video! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM! ❤ 😍 🎵
Hello how are you doing nice meeting you here dear
I saw them last night. They played this. They are still wicked good!
Man, Peter Cetera can sing! He's so underrated, he's perhaps one of the very best tenors in rock and roll, and a damn fine bass player.
In his prime, the best tenor/bass player, along with Geddy Lee of Rush.
Take off. Eh?
Bobby still has my heart.
Don't think he's underrated buddy. He had a phenomianl solo career!
I always thought Peter handled the alto, Bobby tenor, and Terry the baritone voices

I agree… would’ve loved to have seen TK as well :(
Pete died?
Terry was the heart and soul of CHICAGO! After he died they never were the same!
Danny Seraphine - great drummer!
Hell yes
His drumming gives them the Big Band sound!
Bummer he got the bounce, lost the touch overtime.
The bongo man not too shabby either. 😃
Agreed!!!!
Will forever be totally in love with Chicago!!!!!
Hello beautiful I’m glad you love it how are you doing nice meeting you here
Earth wind and fire and Chicago are my favorites love the horn section
Right on
@@PowerGearPerformance
Saw them together. Both bands were hot 🔥🔥
@@butterflylovenj7300 *Beautiful Butterfly!* 😁🥂
Dont forget Tower of Power and Blood Sweat and Tears
You must add Tower of Power horn section there on that list my good sir and we are full ;)
I love this song, I love this band, this is a wonderful time capsule of them at their peak. Thank You for posting this.
You’re right about that!!!!
great clip...thanks
So good 👍I'm here for the drums today and sadly I'm reminded of how TV directors just refuse to show drums.
This song makes me feel soo good and happy!
Just plain beautiful....
Love the beat of the conga on this one. Viva Chicago!
this song makes my days EVERY DAY!!!
Love this Song & Video. Peter is such a boss! Love that shirt!
I still remember it was my mom who turned me on to Chicago when I was a kid in the 70's.She had every album.No wonder I still love this group.Amazing timing and musicianship.
Outstanding!
Chicago at its finest. Danny's playing here never ceases to blow me away. Ditto for Kath and Cetera.
He was amazing! When I listen to some of his live playing I could swear there were two drummers. He was that fast and spot on
True!!!
I never underated Chicago. Terry, et all made magic. Nothing less.
This sounds LIVE. Thanks for not messing with audio 😍

his voice just speaks to my ....SOUL......
🎶💋🎵
I just cant say enough about this video the boys play the hell oit of this song! absolutely flawless! You cant get any better than this!
Wow - that is some phenomenal playing.

Some of Danny's finest drumming in this video "Call on Me"
You’re right about that!!!!!

Always a great song...this version is awesome...
Must have been great playing outside and listening to Chicago great job🏘🏕
This song is very relaxing 🤩
It reminds of me of my childhood days.. reminiscent.. nutten like the good ok days love these guys…❤️❤️❤️
Man, Chicago hasn't been that great since Cetera left the group. Love this!
I've watched their 1999 Behind The Music and their blu ray of Now More Than Ever Documentary of Chicago, Peter Cetera refused to be interviewed for each of those
Agree, once Terry Kath died in 1978, it wasn't the same afterwards, even when Peter Cetera left the band in 1985
Ahh can’t you just feel the sun on your face listening to this⁉️
these guys are the best!!! really loved their stuff
Great Song!🎵😎60s 70s 80s and early 90s music is cool. I enjoy all kinds of music. Real Music, Real Instruments, Real Voices 🎹🎤🎻🎺📯 Awesome Band.✌🇺🇸
Could Peter have been any cuter? Just adorable and a perfect voice to match.
When Terry Kath died and Pete cetera left a big change witht the band. To many external people telling them what is best that didn't know sht. The drummer and the horn sections are one of the best I ever heard. Excellent.
dont forget robert Lamm
Go Danny!!!
Mike Marino you're right
No solo screen time for Terry either on this video? He deserved much better.
Awesome clip! Thanks so much for posting this gem!
