Wow I never thought they’d perform this song ever again after their 1988-1989 tour to promote Chicago 19. I’ve always felt this was Jason’s signature song and since he became the lead tenor singer plus this song was a respective hit in itself, he deserved to have this song to shine too. Sometimes I think this band performs way too many 70s songs and this arrangement I like with how the somehow fit the horns in it cuz I know that’s often a complaint Pankow and Loughnane say about the 80’s era of their music. Also, it’s a great song.
Pankow and Loughnane hated the synthesizers, it replaced their instrument playing, they probably felt they weren't really a part of the band during those yrs.
@@lamarravery4094 You’re right. That’s exactly what they felt. They called it ‘The hornless years”. Even though they were used much more towards the 2nd half of the 80s, when Foster stopped producing their music and Peter left. Honestly I think Peter was also open to the no horns approach by that point because he didn’t fight for the horns to stay either. I kinda think Loughnane and Pankow, being so outspoken about the band’s history, wished he did, given that he and Foster got so close during that time. Personally I like the band’s 80s stuff way more than their 60s and 70s stuff in general. You’d never think a young black guy from Harlem would love Chicago but my Uncle Leon was a huge fan of them, especially since he played 5 instruments fluently (The Saxophone, Horn, Electric Bass, Piano, and Drums). He loved their instrument usage from the 60s and 70s which is his era. I’d listen to them a lot growing up whenever I’d visit him at his apartment in the building half a mile down the way from mine in the projects. Grateful for him for it. He’s hugely what influenced me to embrace music too. I play bass, guitar, and sing baritone/bass.
@@alonzotanner1226 I grew up in the 80s so I got into their 80s stuff, then I backtracked and listened to their 70s music. Both are good, hard to believe they're the same band. The only thing that's constant is Cetera's sweet vocals and then he left. I welcomed the return of the horns on their 19 and twenty1 albums. But good music has no racial boundaries.
@@alonzotanner1226 Alonzo, I'm black and I'm old enough to remember when Chicago started they didn't put out their first album "Chicago Transit Authority " until 1969. So actually they were a band of the 70s and early 80s those two decades were very kind to classic rock groups before Vh1 and MTV existed . But I just wanted to say Chicago has a LOT of black fans. I had the cassette to "Hot Streets" the first album after Terry Kath died and it came out in 1978 but I didn't buy it till 1985 the year Peter Cetera left the band . One day, I was playing it in my car and a black student (I went back to college) saw the cassette picked it up and though there was 7 guys on the cover of the cassette, the guy instantly recognized and named Peter Cetera. Most people knew the songs but didn't know who they were by name. I actually knew all of them by name but didn't buy all the albums as they came out till years later. But Chicago has a variety of fans so we're not unique. But Peter Cetera most people black, white, green or purple. They know that voice and they know he who is and I wasn't surprised he was in the band for 18 years. The people that came in after him, was actually when quite a few people quit listening to Chicago, some did reject listening to anything without Cetera on it, that's the truth. I listened to Cetera or Chicago post Cetera it didn't bother me, it was all good music.
@@waltersimmons946 Well actually I'm black and I was born in the next generation, maybe two generations after (Born in the mid-1980s) and I still was very much aware of this group's greatness. Coming up in Harlem, I was surrounded by stuff my parents listened to (Like Sly Stone, Ashford & Simpson, James Ingram, Patti LaBelle, Switch, Shalamar, etc) and my older cousins who were into the hip stuff in the late 80s, early 90s (New Edition, Troop, Riff, Bell Biv DeVoe, Shai, Bobby Brown, etc) but I was one of the few in my family who actually liked rock and classic rock (Aka "White Music") of all eras. I liked Dion and Belmonts, Queen, and of course, Chicago. But when I was coming up, I would hear a lot of Chicago 16, 17, and 18 on the radio. Yes, I preferred Cetera's voice to Scheff's and I liked even the 70s stuff, but sometimes the 70s stuff sounded so one-tracked to me. Too much horn sounds lol. I know the 3 guys hated the "hornless years" but I loved it. It was more to the point, catchier, and the effects were so much better. Plus the material better imo. Oddly enough I didn't catch any business for loving this music but I still do. That's why I said this song (Even though led by Scheff, not Cetera) is one of my favorites. I think Chicago 18 was their last really good album, personally. 19 had some gems but 18 was the best.
@@tonyde52 Bill left in 2009 and other than Cetera who has two number 1 tunes "If you leave me now" "Hard to say Im sorry" in Chicago that he wrote/sang himself. Champlin sings "Look Away" that went number 1. Post Cetera written by Diane Warren. And Champlin said he would never reunite with this band again. In other words who needs them?
I thought it wouldn't hurt me to listen to this, it's been 6 or 7 years now since she said that she wouldn't still love me for the rest of my life and I can't stop crying! Oh hell! I took my shot at love, I wouldn't change anything even if I could. You can't go back, you can't start over..........
Thank you for posting this. I've never heard this song Live in my life since it came out in 1986. It sounds pretty good, Jason Scheff is no Peter Cetera, but he can still hit those high notes.
Guys, I've been reding your comments and agree with you both. To me, the evolution of Chicago has been some kind of well managed, eventhough we all would like to see the original band reunited, I think we should appreciate each stage (of the 5) as a very unique one. late 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000. The most important thing here (I guess)is that the band has somekind of DEEP ROOTS that have been maintining these guys alive and unified for so long such as 4 decades.
this 80s songs wouldn't have been so awful if there had been some trace of horns, which is what made chicago different from every other band. Nice to see they added it during live concerts
Glad to know you liked it. As fact, I asked scheff after a concert here in Monterrey why they don´t include nothing from Chicago 18 (suchs as If She Would Have Been Faithful, or I Believe) in their concerts and told me that because of the place of the songs had in top charts in the city they visit on each concert.
My thoughts exactly. I understand that most of their fans are for cetera, but that should not be right for them to bash Jason Scheff like that.Therefore,he's been with the band longer than Peter Cetera,so they need to get over it. By the Jason Scheff is my favorite one among Chicago. Although I'm only 35 years old but I will admit Jason Scheff is really cute.
@@thevoid99 a better vocalist? Come on man. Jason has an amazing voice but he tends to falter live especially near the end of his Chicago tenure. Cetera has never faltered. Like Robert says "there were and are a lot of tenor voices in Rock and none sound like Cetera"
@@thevoid99 I got into Chicago in the 80s because of Cetera's amazing vocals. Then he left and I hear this new guy Jason. It was an adjustment, but I thought he was a good replacement and he proved that over the years. He wasn't as great as Cetera, but he was still pretty good. Being a fan of everything related to Chicago, I have room to enjoy listening to all the solo projects as well as the group's.
Cetera never sang Will You Still Love Me, This is Scheff's premiere song off the Chicago 18 album. It doesn't sound as good Live, but what song ever does? I thought he was an awesome replacement. There is only one Cetera, but give Scheff some credit, he ain't that bad..
Just realized I am replying to a 16 year old comment but hey, that's the power of the internet. No comment ever dies. I may be a lone wolf with my opinion but this live performance REALLY exposes the limitations of Jason's vocals. David Foster really pulled off some studio magic by making Jason sound so good on the 18 record. However, in a live setting, poor Jason really struggles to hit those high notes. His voice is also very "thin" and lacks the power and richness of Cetera in his prime. This is a fabulous song but man, I would have paid some mucho deneiros to have heard a studio version with Cetera on vocals. Foster did manage to make Jason sound pretty close to Cetera on the album but I would have preferred to hear the real thing. To this day, I have never heard a live version of this song that even comes close to the studio version. Contrary to some of the comments, the horns are not the problem. Even a fly could have overpowered Jason's vocals here. Chicago threw this song out of their set many many years ago (long before Jason left the band) and now I understand why. I remember Jimmy commenting years ago on Jason singing "You Come to My Senses" as him sounding like someone was squeezing his balls (referring to the Arsenio Hall performance). That same person was likely squeezing them during this performance.
@@beegee1323You are correct. I'd add that Jason's falsetto on the upper high parts is what sounds quite weak. I heard Peter Beckett in the band PLAYER (known for Baby Come back) sing a song during a concert . He was singing in falsetto on the verses of I JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU and he was coming out quite strong. Jason and Bill needed those mics 🎤 turned up but live music 🎶 is still never perfect. Just saying.
@@waltersimmons946100% agree! Live music is never perfect, nor should it be. It’s those live nuances that people pay big bucks for live when they can just listen to the record for free. HOWEVER, the foundation (ie the voice) has to be there for a decent if imperfect live performance. This song is waaaay out of Jason’s range. He just doesn’t have the goods to do it justice. On other mid range tunes, I’ve seen him deliver outstanding vocals live. For example, he does fine singing Hard Habit To Break. But as you say, anything requiring any amount of falsetto makes him sound like a dying cat. Having said the above, Jason is an outstanding human, very humble and an overall good singer. Champlin recently said that while in Chicago, Jason was always a bit pitchy. Since he left the band, he sounds much better.
That's a great and fun video to watch. This song has always been a favorite of mine of theirs. I emailed Jason once after seeing them in concert a couple years ago and he responded. We noticed that he had dropped some weight between the 2006 and 2008 concert and that's what he commented back about. PX90 is what he told us about.
Russel Jay Yep, by those years he was really hot on the fitness thing...and hot on all senses!! He was working so hard to give good shape to his body. I'm glad that you emailed him and he answered you!!!😃
This was a rehearsal before the tour in 2000. They rehearsed in a studio in Hawaii . The band had been off for a while as you can tell by the performance. I'm assumimg they recorded this to show the difference between an unrehearsed Chicago and the finished product that went on the road.
The song was Chicago's first top ten hit following the departure of Peter Cetera, and it featured new singer and bassist Jason Scheff on lead vocals. SO Peter Cetera NEVER SANG THIS SONG!
Exactly..Jason is fine on his own. Like both., no need to compare them each stand on their on. Jason carried torch perfectly from this Thru 21.. a great run, still out there. Pop groups don't stay on top forever
Also this video was recorded in the mid to late 90's after Keith Howland joined the band, the best version of this song is by far the studio album version, and I like live performances better, but this song is butchered live, that's why they stopped singing it live.
Funny to see the horns sitting to rehearse. With 40 years of arrangements interesting to know where they store horn arrangments, is it all stored in computers now? does the horn section ever have to pull out actual charts to refresh before tours or is it possible they keep all this stuff memorized?
i am so tired of people comparing peter cetera to jason scheff if he was so bad why don't people try to do a better job and plus they brought jason when chicago was very popular. so people have to quit comparing peter and jason they both are great singers
@RavishingBeyond Bill sounds good in the first verse. It's hard for older men to sing high, and I don't know why they don't hire someone to come in and sing, even a female singer - could put a nice new turn on the corpus of their work.
Jason didn't write this song, but an old friend of his that also were his fellow bandmembers at some point, Tom Keane, did co-wrote this beautiful tune.💖🎵🌟
I think the horns are quite subtle and tasteful on this song. If you listen closely, they're just playing fleshed-out arrangements of lines that were already present in the keyboards in the original anyway.
@musicpower84 Where can I send some audition tapes so you can critique them since you seem to be a great critic-NOT First of all this is a rehearsal taken from RAW(Real Artists Working)and Chicago just happened to be one of a few groups that participated in this.I have this on VHS and DVD and this particular copy just doesnt give it justice but to sit here and bash Jason and Tris says alot about your lack of musical ear.Jason has been with the group longer than Peter so except it already
baloney! jason sounds GREAT as a bass player and singer. he did hit a slightly flat note at approximately 00:56 seconds but does a fantastic job. plus, they're rehearsing and smart singers don't go all out in rehearsal in order to conserve their voice.
Ofcourse they can still play it by memory. First off the song is incredibly easy for the horn section. it's a few blats and runs. These guys probably still have songs memorised from high school and JR. high marchign band. Considering the amount of tiems they've done this material ... yeah it's still memorised, no they don't need charts, they could literaly play this stuff in thier sleep. Actually the sax player I think IS ASLEEP. he still sounds great
They couldn’t move on hehe. I like jason. If they didnt like him that time, they should have made a petition to replace him. Poor jason. Good that he’s doing solo now ☺️
this version is actually better than the recorded version. more horns in the arrangements to make the song less schmaltzy in the original's very 80s production with its synthesizers.
i don't get it you people keep saying chicago isn't as good as before but as i can remember there isn't a band that had stayed around for as long as they did so obviously there doing something right
Robert Lamm looks like he'd rather be playing something like "What's This World Coming To" rather than this dross. He was terribly underused from 1982 until quite recently.
Horns sound awful on this and Jason, well, not his finest effort to say it nicely. I wonder if this was the last tour they staged this song with the live band? Seems like I have only ever heard Jason singing this by himself from the piano since about 2000. Such a great song, wish they'd treat it with more respect.
I really love this song of CHICAGO...still the best band in existence...more than 40 years and still rocking...
I love you Jason Scheff! 😍
Chicago is my favorite group of all time!!!!! I love the music, the lyrics, the singing, and they have the best horn secton, ever!!!!!!!!!!!
I myself am a musician, but Bill always makes the funniest facial expressions whenever he sings, lol!
Para mi. Estos son los mejores intérpretes de Chicago. Yo personalmente los sigo desde el año 67 Chicago lo mejor del mundo..

Nice touch with the horns. Too bad the original cut did not include them.
i am so tired of people comparing peter cetera to jason scheff if he was so bad why don't people try to do a better job and plus they brought jason when chicago was very popular. so people have to quit comparing peter and jason
they both are great singers
wooooow!!!!
@RavishingBeyond
Bill sounds good in the first verse. It's hard for older men to sing high, and I don't know why they don't hire someone to come in and sing, even a female singer - could put a nice new turn on the corpus of their work.
DAMN... i paused it @ 1:20 cause i thought i had mail :S haha:P
@cetera06...this actually was from 2000.
Cetera?? didn't Jason write this?? Cetera never sang this. I love Jason on this.
Jason didn't write this song, but an old friend of his that also were his fellow bandmembers at some point, Tom Keane, did co-wrote this beautiful tune.💖🎵🌟
I think the horns are quite subtle and tasteful on this song. If you listen closely, they're just playing fleshed-out arrangements of lines that were already present in the keyboards in the original anyway.
❤
@guyin916 ? Bring them back where? Maybe they don't record but they still tour...and they have a great turnout ....
@musicpower84 Where can I send some audition tapes so you can critique them since you seem to be a great critic-NOT First of all this is a rehearsal taken from RAW(Real Artists Working)and Chicago just happened to be one of a few groups that participated in this.I have this on VHS and DVD and this particular copy just doesnt give it justice but to sit here and bash Jason and Tris says alot about your lack of musical ear.Jason has been with the group longer than Peter so except it already
haha look at 2:40, Keith is always funny
;-D love his playing he´s the man. great song
This guy scheff is a good singer too
baloney! jason sounds GREAT as a bass player and singer. he did hit a slightly flat note at approximately 00:56 seconds but does a fantastic job. plus, they're rehearsing and smart singers don't go all out in rehearsal in order to conserve their voice.
2003
@musicispower84 the record companies told chicago they would bring them back in if they left the horns out.
Besides, this is Jason's tune. Peter never sang this.
The early days of Keith Howland.
And Tris... 👍
Jason kept Chicago in worldwide pop music chart after Cetera era. Bill too...
1:18... WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?
does anyone know what year this video was made?
Anyone know about what year these rehearsal videos were shot?
I wish Danny Seraphine was still in the band
Are there any founding members left in this band? Just curious
Robert Lamm (keyboards/vocals), Jimmy Pankow (Trombone), Lee Loughnane (Trumpet).
We figured it out with Robert. He's the only lead vocalist left that's a founding member. Thanks.
Pete Cetera should've returned replacing Jason S. But we got Jeff instead.
@@speakonianjny5004 Peter just retired last yr. The end of an era, I wish him well on his retirement, may he live a long, happy, and healthy life.
Ofcourse they can still play it by memory. First off the song is incredibly easy for the horn section. it's a few blats and runs. These guys probably still have songs memorised from high school and JR. high marchign band. Considering the amount of tiems they've done this material ... yeah it's still memorised, no they don't need charts, they could literaly play this stuff in thier sleep. Actually the sax player I think IS ASLEEP. he still sounds great
So sorry i wasn't able to greet jason scheff on the exact date of his bday, but anyway happy birthday dear idol,
umm.. it's a rehearsal?
what year is this
2002-2003
Guys, what happened to Bill Champlin?
Hey without Horns it wouldn't be Chicago.......
Without Peter Cetera they are not Chicago.
SPEAK! The whole truth and NOTHING but the truth!
haha thumbs down, this is classic music!! thumbs down on what account?? It really takes all kinds to make a world, even TH-cam
have a little mercy with jason ...hahaha
They couldn’t move on hehe. I like jason. If they didnt like him that time, they should have made a petition to replace him. Poor jason. Good that he’s doing solo now ☺️
I think their last big hit and with the last great line up: Jeson Scheff and Keith Howland.
this version is actually better than the recorded version. more horns in the arrangements to make the song less schmaltzy in the original's very 80s production with its synthesizers.
thevoid99 you must be high. Seriously?
this version is horrible compared to the recorded album version!
I think the studio version would’ve sounded good with more horns. I agree on that
i don't get it you people keep saying chicago isn't as good as before but as i can remember there isn't a band that had stayed around for as long as they did so obviously there doing something right
Why is Kieth so far back?
could use a bit more high end and reverb.
Jason seems to be really struggling here. Something looks off . I've seen him perform this song so much better.
I would not pay 50 Cents to see Chicago today!!!!! When Jason left; it was hard enough....BUT NOW....... IT'S A DAMN COVER BAND!!!!!
Nice but this is the song sang by him written by Chicago unlike Peters days there's hard to say I'm sorry your the inspiration if you leave now 😊😊😊
Unless your have sung on a million selling record... Keep you F’n negative comments to yourself... Kid is alright in my book...
This is from the 2000's.
@equesfuscus Chicago needs to remain an ALL male band!!! Leave well enough alone.
For a power ballad, not a bad song on the album. But Jason is SO awful here, live...
Robert Lamm looks like he'd rather be playing something like "What's This World Coming To" rather than this dross. He was terribly underused from 1982 until quite recently.
I think he used a lot of his choice songs for his solo albums over the yrs.
saxo instrument in this vids..made crucial, crashin.
They don't soung so good live on this song!
Horns sound awful on this and Jason, well, not his finest effort to say it nicely. I wonder if this was the last tour they staged this song with the live band? Seems like I have only ever heard Jason singing this by himself from the piano since about 2000. Such a great song, wish they'd treat it with more respect.
how does Robert Lamm not age :)
I don't know but he is one gorgeous hunk of humanity!
@dathomaz HAHHAA ME TOO
walter doesn't have a guitar
