- Experience a crucial moment in Chicago's legendary career with this concert at Budokan Hall in Tokyo, Japan on January 10, 1984. This performance comes just prior to the release of their hugely successful album, Chicago 17.
The setlist showcases Chicago previewing new material like "Stay The Night" from the upcoming 17 release, as well as rare performances of unreleased gems like Bill Champlin's "Sweet Marie." Along with the new songs, they also revisit classics like "25 or 6 to 4" and "Saturday in the Park."
See the incredible lineup of Peter Cetera, Danny Seraphine, Robert Lamm, Bill Champlin, James Pankow, Lee Loughnane, Walt Parazaider and Chris Pinnick in peak form. Their energy and musical chops are on full display.
This is Chicago riding high, before the release of 17 but after the major comeback success of Chicago 16 with hits like "Love Me Tomorrow," and "Hard To Say I'm Sorry/Getaway," both showcased during this show at the Budokan. It captures them at a pivotal and exciting time.

Man, Peter Cetera did have perfect pitch.
Champlin sounded very good on "Make Me Smile" in his early years with Chicago.
This music got me through a terrifying time of my life. So grateful it exists.
Its easy to see that Peter Cetera was enjoying himself and that he really didn't want to leave the band. When your hand is forced the unexpected will happen.
Hearing Cetera sing "If you Leave Me Now" brings back a flood of memories. Chicago was one of those bands that just always seemed to be on the radio in the 70s and 80s.
A great era of music. Those albums in the 80s were well done by the band.
The 80's? What about the late 60's and 70's?
The importance of the live material of 1982-1985 (and maybe to an extent up 1989) should not be understated...
The strongest line-up post Kath...on 25 or 6 to 4, Chris Pinnick has some very nice chops...excellent music that it timeless...
amazing band.very tight.
Fun video. I never realized how cool the bass line of Stay the Night was until seeing this. Thx for uploading.
Man great memories flood my being when I listen to one of the greatest bands that ever did it. I made alot girls happy in the early years. They are the s..t.
They are sounding great!
This is Chicago in their prime....!!
You crazy 70s all day
ピーターセテラ、ビル・チャンプリン、ロバート・ラム最高です😊
I know that in 1984, everybody came to see Peter when they went to see a Chicago concert. Then Robert Lamm sings his Saturday in the Park song, lol. It seemed outdated then. We wnted to hear songs from 16 anf 17.
That might be the reason Peter told interviewer Ernie Menous "Robert emotionally ran me out" (of the band) .
Wow, Cetera really carried this concert on his shoulders.
He was getting ready for that solo career.
He was forced into that direction. @@decacards5250
Yes, his voice was pristine. Voice, bass, looks, he was primed to fly the coup when push came to shove.
@@Jazz_Guitar_From_Frank Cetera according Foster was unhappy in Chicago but Cetera wanted to do what Phil Collins did, which was to do a solo album and still be with the group. The group was actually afraid if the 2nd solo album succeeded Cetera would've left. People forget Cetera had already released a solo album in early 1982 >PETER CETERA. Cetera made a colossal error by saying to the record executives back then "IF MY ALBUM IS A HIT , IM LEAVING THE BAND " and once Cetera said that despite "Livin' in the limelight " getting airplay, the record company sabotaged and would not promote his solo album, the record company Warner Reprise attitude was "We got 10 times the money invested in this group, than we do this person who thinks he can go solo". Cetera said "The record company did not want me out there on my own " . Also though Cetera had two number one songs 🎵 after leaving Chicago (Glory of Love/Next time I fall). He said he had NO backing from the record company and despite Jason Scheff being his replacement they were still trying to get Cetera back in Chicago. He politely said NO each time it came up. He didn't want to leave the way he had done but after the band/ management reneged on promises they agreed to at first on him doing an album and spend time with his baby daughter . Cetera's hand was forced. It's been 39 years and I still don't blame him for leaving at all.
@@waltersimmons946 Excellent analysis. If the record company doesn't want your album to be successful, you can be sure it won't be, because they won't lift a finger to promote it.
Lamb had best voice 👌
Thank you so much for making these videos available and for what you're doing! But I wanted to ask what particular device do you use to digitize your VHS tapes?
My pleasure! For the videos uploaded in the last year, I used "VIDBOX," for the transfer and Topaz AI in an attempt to enhance the quality a bit. I used a different device a couple years ago for the previous uploads that left a little to be desired.
@@thechicagocompletist5164 Ah I see, thank you so much for replying and telling me about that, I appreciate it! :)
Damn it has been 40 years since Peter left the group.
No weak links in this chain.
Rod Blagojevich on keyboards! 😄
What? The One Time Governor Of Illinois Played Key Boards For Chicago?! LOL!!
Cetera going for the David Bowie look here.
Terry Kath sang that song...not a bunch of cover artists!
Sweet Marie? Wtf? That wasn't on any of their albums and for good reason.
Peter Suterra played limp rock
It's Peter Cetera. He wrote quite a few hard rock tunes in Chicago. The record company felt the ballads sold better .
Shit!
