- Excellent concert by the supergroup. This is the third time I have seen them perform live - and the best. All their biggest hits, plus some nice lesser known songs. See them live!!!!
been love w/Chicago since the first note i heard in 1969. so many concerts i lost count. this september (2021), in las vegas...IM ROCKIN IT!!
i had the pleasure of setting up a stage for them they are very nice and the music is wonderful
Worked for a concert security firm years ago and actually got to be inside the venue for this one omg it was awesome with earth wind and fire too
This summer was my 45th Chicago concert. The players have changed over the decades but the music goes on. Robert, Jimmy and Lee have added some excellent musicians to help them carry on the legacy of the original seven. They never disappoint and their longevity is unrivaled. Here's to another 52 years for America's Band.
I'd love to see them
That is amazing!
I saw Chicago in 1971. I think it's time to see them again!
I'm so proud of Neil. He is living his dream up on that stage. Him and my Dad use to sing in a band in the 70s. My Dad is in heaven now - but he's watching Neil shine bright onstage with Chicago. Go Neil!
Neil's presence in Chicago plus his beautiful voice is so much a part of the ongoing Chicago and he made me cry during the Charleston, WV concert on 12-3-2021. His singing had me crying with goosebumps!
Chicago still sounds great. Thank you for your amazing music. Been listening to Chicago since high school. Over 40 years. Each show is a brand new experience.
GREAT!! AS USUAL No matter who is up there....it's the sound!! and so in tune! It's like listening to a symphony!
Saw them a couple of weeks ago. My jaw DROPPED when I heard Neil Donnell. Reminded me of the first time I heard Arnel Pineda lead singer of Journey live. Could not believe what I was hearing, with such a HUGE and soulful voice coming out of such a small man! Neil is a saving grace for Chicago much like Arnel was for Journey. MIND BLOWING!!!
Being a fan of both bands (Chicago is my #1 and Journey is my #2), I totally agree with your statement.
Will be seeing them TONIGHT in Colorado Springs. Can't wait. Been a fan for 45 years. Chicago Transit Authority album remains in my top ten to this day.
What an incredible band and super lineup. I always felt IMHO nobody could replace the magic of Champlin & Scheff and was really upset when they both left. Glad to see every newcomer shine like a fine wine in this megagroup. Champlin and Imboden served 28 years each. Scheff did 31. And this year the master axeman Keith Howland completes his 25th year. Lou Pardini on his 11th & Walfredo Reyes drummer extraordinaire 8 years and counting. One of USA's ICONS!!!
Saw them first just before CTA album came out. Seen them 35 to 40 times . I must say I think Howland is a great fit, didn't care fore the in betweens. I much prefer Pardini to Champlin. Also thought Scheff did a great job, but Coffey was a better singer.
I need to see them live again. This new singer is crazy awesome.
Brass section is tight and Keith H. Rocks that guitar. Love the band and Robert Lamm !
I swear Keith doesn't get enough credit that he truly deserves. He's the second runner up to Terry as the guitarist for Chicago imo.
@@weksheddweller I agree, Terry might be a little better singer, however Keith is about as good a guitarist as I have ever seen. You could have not picked a better replacement.
I too have struggled with the changes through the years, but these guys are rocking hard! I would have been impressed if they WERE merely a cover band, so I REALLY celebrate that this is still the real deal! Musicians have to eat, And these guys are putting on a great concert.
still very enjoyable to watch. They still have it!!
Props to Robert, Jimmy, Lee, and Walter for keeping the band going, and also a big shoutout to every musician they’ve ever played with.
David Nissim Lamm is a dick!
Walter is in your house
I don’t think that’s Walter Parazader.
Without Chicago there is no Christmas
The jazzy solo part of Just you n me. Is the magic part for me,, never get tired of that part .
Now i can relive this concert when ever i want. Thanks for posting. :)
He really has owned this role and has gotten better and better since joining.
Cool!
It's almost like an incredible trip through Symphonic Rock---can never hear their music enough; in many ways, they saved American pop music from becoming totally electric!!
I just saw this concert and I loved it! I’ve always loved Chicago! You did a great recording job!
Fabulous! Thanks for posting this. Great job.
Saw them last night for the first time. Amazing…
I just saw them here in North Charleston, SC and it was a fantastic show. A TH-cam video doesn't do them justice they have to be experienced live.
I was there too David, great concert!
I just recently saw them live in Davenport Iowa at The Adler Theater excellent still at their best!
I would love to see them write and play some new music, I love Robert Lamm and Jimmy P. writing. They are still the best of Rock and I am so honored they still want to Rock. Good music has no age ! Rock on Chicago !
Great Video! I had seen them about 2 years before this and they are still amazing! Thank you for posting this!!!!
Since the early 70s, I've loved Chicago, born and raised there too, though it just isn't the same, but I do respect the guys for their talent
Not to be disrespectful, I simply didn't like the new singer and the drumming. I came to this video trying to learn what these new members sounded like, and I didn't like them. In all likelihood, they are not bad, and I suspect they are all quite professional.... but I believe Peter Cetera, Jeff Coffey and Jason Scheff had better suited vocal color for the material, and as for drums, Tris Imboden was super competent, and Danny Seraphine was phenomenal. Not too happy about this bunch, but unlike other people on here, I won't poop on them. Thanks to Douglas Logan for the excellent upload, and even though I didn't like the new members, I would still go see them if I get the chance. Thanks!
Awesome! I've seen them so many times and I did a meet & greet back in 2017, so I can check that off my bucket list :P
I took Terry Kath's death hard and when Peter Cetera left I left too. But the music finally took me back and I realized it is about the music and I have been to 6 of their concerts in the last 10 years. Still great to watch especially with the Doobie Brothers and Earth, Wind, and Fire!!
I did the same...just saw then las this past summer Los Angeles Greek Theatre....AMAZING!!!!!!
I just saw them in concert tonight! It was amazing! They don’t make music like they used too.
Thanks for posting they are still so awesome!! Chicago has always been one of my favorites! Love love love them😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️
The band is sounding AMAZING!!!
Nice job guys…Band sounds great!
I just saw them in concert tonight! It was amazing! They don’t make music like they used too.
Vocally they haven't been this strong since Cetera and Chicago 16. Lou is awesome too!
GREAT WORK, THANKS FOR THE HANDCRAFT MAN. SALUTATIONS.
Neil Donell sounds absolutely incredible. He should be singing Call on Me, however. Great to see the full version of Introduction restored also.
@wickedphantom24601 I wasn't making a comparison, Stan. Neil sounds fabulous, regardless of who sang those songs in previous incarnations.
@wickedphantom24601 I agree with your thoughts pretty much, though I didn't mind Jeff. I can't get into Neil, and I think Lou tries hard, but good soul comes natural, and to me what Lou does, does not sound natural for him it sounds forced.
Agree and agree. Probably just trying to give Lou an added lead opportunity.
Wow, big loss of these band members between 2021 & 2022 was making everyone sad 😢 when Keith Howland announced his retirement after breaking his wrist, and then Lou Pardini in the beginning of the year when he was leaving, and also Brett Simons too when Eric Baines joined the band when Chicago made a statement called:
ANOTHER CHICAGO CHAPTER
The legacy goes on and continued friendship with former members and current members
I have recently been listening to the current lineup of Chicago and enjoy this very much! I am a die hard fan of the Cetera era (including the years with Kath). As I have stated, I haven't enjoyed the lineup since 1985 until Neil joined.
Mr. Logan... Thank you for posting!!! 👍🏽
Neil Donnell solid !
JUST AWESOME !!!!!’
I see 3 original members! WOW!
Yeah! That's pretty darn good too considering this band has been around for 52+ years and has NEVER broken up!
Original sax and flute player Walt Parazaider has been ill and is pretty much retired.
@@dashjeffreys6998 The courts ruled years ago that as long as a band still had at least one original member, it could do business as that band. Bands are legal entities.
@@randyjordan5521 Very interesting! Thank you for that.
@Tippersnore Who?? LOL... Truth is we're ALL getting older. Bands just don't know when to hang it up. Maybe it's the money or maybe they do truly enjoy their job.
I saw Chicago four years ago, when Jason Scheff and Tris Imboden were still with them. The concert in this video is just as good or better than that one, and the main guys are all four years older.
The current MUSICAL lineup may be the best they've ever had and no offense to any previous members.
Thank you ! I was there !
Chicago is far from dead! Robert Lamm songs, love them! & Old days. 1:36:21 Steve Vai would be proud! Band is tight! 🎵🎵🎹🥁🥁🎸🎸🎤
Love them. I still miss jason and Jeff . Please Keith never leave the band
BRETT SIMONS IS THE CURRENT BASSIST FOR CHICAGO
@@williebowen2965 I know
Keith Howland left Chicago after breaking his wrist while falling inside the venue of Louisville Palace and Tony Obrohta is now the guitarist
@@joshuaarcilla6211 yes. I miss him so much now
@@bettyrocco3021 that was sad that he has left after three decades as their tenured guitarist in Chicago…..he is now officially with the players alongside former members Bill Champlin & Jeff Coffey
Great band....
My favorite song of all time, 25 Or 6 To 4, I consider the test of the vocalist performing it. Neil does one heck of a job! I would say second to Peter and tied with Sergey of Leonid And Friends. IMHO.
where did they find this voice ??? fenomenal singer!
Lee is a trumpet god. Mr Chops
In the "Old Days" video montage they crop out pictures of Peter Cetera and Danny Seraphine. How petty.
Dude, sounds like Cetera, just a flat, or half step octave lower, but impressive!
Neil nails the 80s love ballads of Cetera, but he's decent for the 70s hits. Just my opinion.
Doug NICE job.. Chi fan 54yrs. You did a fine little job. I saw em for 18th time 2 yrs ago here in S.A. and tho it was great it's just not Chicago anymore.
But this show 2 mos ago??? They. REALLY nailed it (LOU sounded weaker than usual. . not a strong voice but Mannnnn he blends w Robert so well... (And Jason til he left several yrs ago) but it's still not real Chicago it's just been too many changes. As a longtime fan they sound awesome .. really nailed this one
Thank You! Glad you enjoyed it.
Now I play beatles concerts everyday on the drums
Who's playing instead of Walter?
Neil singing amazing whaT a fit and yes I agree they are still on fire no matter what the line up
Ray Hermann has been for most of the past dozen years. He's not original, but even still a truly amazing musician. His solos are far more interesting than I ever heard Walt play live.
@@bradleyowen7612 id still go even if there now is only three originals left the music says it all. Shame they hardly ever play here in the UK also we have like no live music just now because our government are cunts
I just saw them in concert tonight! It was amazing! They don’t make music like they used too.
@@MichaelSuperbacker where did you see.them?
matty boy walker They we’re in Massachusetts
I go to see less and less concerts these days... too many people, who pay very good money to go see a live performance, choose to stand there for 2.5 hours staring, like lifeless zombies, at an electronic screen held up over their faces instead of enjoying and getting involved with the performance and crowd. Unfortunately that is the nature of live concerts these days. Concerts used to be this --> 🤘 now this-->😩
I agree 100%.
question to all: saw the show in las vegas Sept 18, 2021. no lou pardini on keyboards. cant find any info as to why he wasnt there. the fella they had was a waste of air and sounded like a cartoon character. lou leave? sick?
Hi, can someone please tell me who played keyboards on this tour besides robert. thank you
@Roko Abc Thank you so very much.
dont ik this guysvoice so much a bit pitchy but most of all he wants to sing classics his way rather than the was peter cetera did
Love it!
I use to go every year to a Chicago Concert with my parents until they started chopping up Feeling Stronger Everyday. That is one of their best songs and to just play the ending is just awful.
Exactly, what’s up with that?
One lf the best cover bands around. With horns
I play
Chicago concerts on the drums
pls come to jakarta, indonesia!!!
WHERE ARE MY BBOYS/BGIRLS AT THAT BREAK TO THESE DRUM HITS AND DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT?!? Learn you're history yall!!!
Who's singing Lead on IYLMN??
That's Neil Donnell from Canada. He joined the band early last year when Jeff Coffey left.
why does keath howard sing lead no more he only sings backing now
WHY ISN'T THE BASSIST ISN'T SINGING THIS SONG?
Ridiculous amount of adverts very greedy
Don't blame me. I do not monetize any of my concert videos. Not a penny. This is TH-cam.
Why are they taking Colour My World so fast these days?
I know it was originally written in 12/8 time, but this rendition is too fast.
Shell of a band that used to be.....great.
They were so much better with Jason Scheff and even Jeff Coffey. Not a fan on this dude singing
Should be the Music of Chicago starring Robert Lamm
extra
Good cover band...whats the name of the group?
This is Chicago. There are three out of seven original members still touring with them. There'd be four if Walter Parazaider hadn't retired because of health issues. I think having over 40% of the original lineup in their 53rd year of existence is pretty darn good. How many people do you know who've kept the same job for over 52 years?
They've sold 120 million more albums than you and have made considerably more money. Grow up.
@@billstout6159 suck me internet tough guy.
Oh..and by the way they still suck.
@@billstout6159 I guess he really showed you. 🙄
@@groucho0506 Actually , you suck ...
Cool. But why is it that when bands have been around for decades they grow in members ? Soon there will be 12 on stage.
Well, let's see. The band was originally seven members. Then, in 1974, Laudir de Oliveira was added as a percussionist so they became an octet. These days, Ramon Yslas is handling percussion. In 1978, Terry Kath, who was their original guitarist and one of their three original lead vocalists, died in a tragic gun accident. Ultimately, the band opted to have separate guitarists and baritone vocalists. Keith Howland has been their guitarist since 1995 and Lou Pardini has been handling baritone vocal duties since 2009. In 1985, original bassist and tenor lead vocalist left the band. Up until last year, they still had a combination bassist/tenor in the band. When Jeff Coffey left, they brought in bassist Brett Simons and tenor vocalist Neil Donnell. All the guys who have passed through this band were talented and added something different to the band. That said, IMHO, the raw talent in this particular lineup is the best and most versatile they've had since 1985 when Peter Cetera left.
@@sticks64Nicely put! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
PETER CETERA IS BETTER WHEN HE SINGS SOLO!!!
Very basic drumming and percussion unfortunately
Lmao
Thanks for the great sound quality.
Stay home next time.
Leave it to the professionals.
Wow. As far as I know, there are no "professional" full concert videos from this year on YT. Personally, I appreciate the fact that they took the time to record this and to post it. Apparently, so are a lot of other people.
These guys are such a joke. It's just all the pointless members of the band trying to cash in on the name now. Their success was all on the voice of Peter Cetera & then actual talented outside of the band songwriters. This is just pathetic and sad.
El éxito de CTA se debió gracias a ese inmenso músico que fue Terry Kath. Cetera aportó su voz pero asimismo, destrozó a la banda volviendola comercial, perdiendo esa fuerza que la caracterizó en sus comienzos. Con la muerte de Terry Kath tb murió CTA.
Terrible without Dawayne and Bill.
