I appreciate whomever is going through the trouble and care of transferring all of these Chicago performances or tv appearances to a medium that we can all enjoy. Thank you!
Imagine being there with the sound perfect through the house speakers and loving every bit of this great music…. Myself and others can only imagine being there physically. What a gem to see Terry so on point as with the rest of the band…. No matter the sound quality, these songs were the soundtrack to our youth the the mighty 1970s….. where is the Time Machine? I need it NOW!!!!!
Its not just Terry, the first 10 yrs were a band on a mission. But ya, with his loss, things probably veered a very different course. He brings the coolness, and a ton of the greatness for sure.
I've been a Chicago fan from the beginning. No band like them in the world. A collection of world class musicians. They make me shiver, they are so very wonderful! Nothing like them on this planet!
Without a doubt ! I was trying to play some of the songs yesterday they're not exactly easy at all . . . And I am a Neil Peart freak. All I do is play RUSH which everyone knows is extremely difficult on every instrument but especially drums , I said I should be able to play this easy ! Boy was I in for a surprise!
I had the very great pleasure and privilege of meeting and helping interview Danny Seraphine in my radio days. Besides being the greatest rock drummer of all time (prove me wrong, I dare you), he was a consummate gentleman and all-around fun guy.
@@anthonysaponaro6318 try "Introduction" or "Devil's Sweet"... I'm also a drummer, and that first one is tough, and maybe Zep's "The Crunge" isn't one I'd wanna play live... if you're not 100% perfect, it won't be "right".
When Chicago performed in Japan, I went too. It was my first Live, so I was very excited. Peter's wonderful voice, Terry's intense guitar playing, Bobby's calm and funky keyboard work. Saturday In the Park hadn't been announced yet, so I thought it was a cool new song and listened to it. It's been 50 years since then.This video feels like a trip to the past.
TK was the total TKO of a guitar rockin jazzy groove funk'n soul man. I can't say that about any other guitar player I've ever known or heard. Thanks for all the memories Terry... RIP brother.
This good people is why I can,t stress this enough ,we people our age had the one of best era,s too pass us ,the 60,s .And this band just happened to grace us with their magic , ain,t got no word,s to amplify the feeling , just smile and remember the bands name , CHICAGO!!!!!!!!!
Amen, brother! Those kids out their in the crowd were baptized in their late teens and early 20's with a spiritual Rock infusion indelibly imprinted on their spirit. Whenever you look at the "boomer", I hear so frequently disparaged as such on youtube; know you are near a human being who experienced a wildness, an energy, a power so impacting, that even though now in their 60's and 70's - there will always beat inside their older, grayed, well-lived-in bodies a heart of unadulterated, raw & pure Rock & Roll and a soul of the fierce invincible, born of an era NEVER to occur again.Boomers lives were rocked like no one ever since.We were the luckiest fuckers on planet Earth and we know it!~ peace, man
This is by far the best live performance Chicago ever filmed... the sad part is how bad the technology was back then to record live concerts to capture the full audio spectrum, We get only a hint here of the greatness of this band in 1972. No group has ever matched them in musical ability composition and execution, but the real star of this performance was Danny on drums... As a drummer I can tell you his interpretation and execution were incredible that night Danny was far and away the best drummer of that era, he had the chops and jazz background to make him the perfect choice. I was there in Chicago in 1968 at their first gig on Rush street as CTA... there was a blizzard that night and only about 10 of us showed up, they were called the "Big Thing" before that with shark skin suits! Peter had just joined from the "Exceptions" which was a perfect match before that Robert played his pedals on the Hammond. I will never forget that night we all knew we were seeing something special [like seeing the Beatles at the Cavern] it affected my playing for the rest of my life. to see Terry play was like watching a force of nature, I was about 10 feet from him his hair was shaking and the power of his playing was phenomenal, he just had a small Ampeg amp but the sounds he got out of that! after that, I got to see them a few times, but the early years of any band are always special... enjoy because you will never see this again
Just L O V E the videos!! They make my day!! Such a loss to you, and humankind, your Dad is gone!!! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to celebrate and cherish his memory and talent!!!! I will find him in heaven, when I die!!! Introduction is one of my most favorite songs!!!! And I am watching HIM play!! ❣️❣️❣️

Seven guys in perfect sync. That's so hard to do. Natural born talent and practice no doubt. Terry's the only guitar player who I can't tell if he's playing a Gibson or Fender. He makes them all sound the same.
They will never be duplicated, unless people see the talent and try to duplicate it. NOT HAPPENING!!! Rest in Peace, Terry. See ya on the other side one day!!!
I was there also. I was active duty GI. I believe they year was 1970 not 1972. I know this because I was discharged in 1971 and remember seeing the concert while still active duty.
@@desertgeezer7608 BTW...I graduated high-school at Johnson Air Base on June 6th, 1972 and the next day a group of us took trains and subways to see this Chicago concert at the Budokan. Here's their setlist from that performance: www.setlist.fm/setlist/chicago/1972/nippon-budokan-tokyo-japan-73f8d231.html
@@lisac7117 The most underrated bass player in the 70s.. He was basically the closest thing to Paul McCartney in bass/vocal + melody craftmanship which fit well with the radical artists like Terry and Robert, and the early political stuff.. I love the 70s stuff, but Foster ruined the production... the sound is unlistenable, so I can't even judge the fluff
We took Chicago for granted ,,like our favorite brother of sister,,,,like they would be around for ever,,,,,thank you Chicago,,,,,we miss you on the radio,,,,(radio?) and we loved you madly.,,,,today bands don't know how to tune their instruments or play in key,,,its mostly tapes and djs and it sounds like shit,,,,
@@leskerf I don't think that they were terribly drugged up at that point in their career. However, by 1974, it was a different matter (unfortunately). PC160 is on the right track. The Carnegie Hall shows were at the end of a long tour, and they were pretty worn out. IMHO, they also played at Carnegie Hall as if they felt that they had to prove themselves in a 'jam band' sense, which was not the case.
My high school band teacher yelled at me for swinging my trombone "up" like Jimmy does before he starts to play (he knew what I was doing, but it was a distraction)!
I had been playing the trombone for a few years before I discovered Chicago and of course, loved the horns. Still, huge difference in the studio Pankow and the concert Pankow, especially on the solos. Our jazz band in high covered 25 or 6 to 4 and it took months for our guitar player to even approach what Kath was doing, our drummer had his own style and was smart enough not to try to copy Danny. He was good enough to later tour with John Lee Hooker. Good times, better memories.
Way cool! Thanks so much!! Chicago V is my favorite album. I believe it was the first Chicago record that I bought. My older brother had several already. I'm guessing it was around '73 or '74 when I got it. That means I would been around 11-12 years old. I would have loved to see the band in the '72/'73 era. The best! To me anyway. Can't explain why, it just is.
V was a very sophisticated album! Great Combination of pop mixed with rock, jazz, 3 great vocalists, great instrumentals, and great compositions. Dialogue is probably their finest showcase for the band’s capabilities, all in one song. Probably their best overall album with no weak cuts, which I think I only figured out a few years ago! This video is from the V time period. Cetera is wearing the same shirt he wore in the album photo. Kath’s solo on 25 or 6 to 4 here is just ferocious.
I also love V. "Goodbye" so jazzy. "Varese" cooks with a strange vibe. "Dialogue" still moves me. The band was so committed to what they were trying to show the world.
I first saw them on the same tour when they visited Australia in '72. In 1964 started in a brass band at age 10 on baritone horn, so when a girlfriend played me 'Chicago 2' in 1972 I was completely blown away! Got my first trombone early the next year.....
Such a talented band! And to be around over 50 years later...unreal! I have the privilege of working their concert at Six Flags in about 1980 twice - didn't realize at the time how special that was.
They all were at their very best in this concert. So much energy and talent. Peter is awesome here especially in Questions 67&68. He really rocks in State of the Union - what a singer and rocker. And the look with the long hair and beard really fits the song. One fine-looking guy!
Have always thought Danny's best playing was in the earliest years of the band. Jazzy, intricate, sometimes subtle and powerful. I have also always favored the sound of this early kit, especially the cymbals. This recording picks them up well.
Lol…Good Lord! Peter Cetera’s voice! Who has a voice like that?!?! Only him! He could reach incredibly high notes with full power! There had never been anyone with a voice like that, and there never will be again! This concert was incredible. They played for an hour and a half…all their biggest hits and more!
Musically, Peter and Danny reached their peak during the Hot Streets and 13 tours in 1978 and 1979 -- absolutely mind-blowing chops! If Kath had been there, of course it would've been even better, but Chicago sounded *much* tighter on those tours than they did in 1976 and 1977 (especially). Their best tours with Terry, IMO, were the CTA, Chicago V, and Chicago VI tours, or 1969-70, 1972, and 1973, respectively.
ArnoldArchives You know what they say about opinions, Kath was frustrated with Seraphine and Cetera that they didn’t have a pocket. He said Seraphine was a “lead drummer” and a drummer should make sure time was kept above all things. When a band doesn’t sound “tight” it’s the drummer and bass player that aren’t providing the foundation. Cetera struggled at time to play bass and sing at the same time. Studio, when he only had to play, his bass lines were excellent. Olivera was added to the band at Kath’s insistence to give more stability to the rhythm section. In other words because Danny didn’t keep time. It’s why the band let him go years later. Cetera has said Kath was always complaining that he and Danny didn’t play the way Kath wanted. Cetera has even said he was ready to quit the band at first because Terry didn’t like anything he played. Recall, Kath played bass for Dick Clark’s all star band and also played bass on Lamm’s first solo album, so he knew of what he spoke.
Really neat to see them playing some of these arrangements live, a lot of them sound pretty simmular to the Live in Japan album. Makes sense since they were recorded around the same time.
#2.....how in the hell did terry get it..?....you know he knew he had it........and probably told no one that he had it...!...probably one of the rarest strat's of all......genius.....r.i.p. buddy
How TK is not considered one of the greatest guitar players of all time is one of the mysteries of life. ( 50:45) He and Lenny Breau. The Rhythm section could not even keep up with him here and poor Danny is just beating on the brass to keep up.
Has anybody noticed in just about every video of Terry Kath playing " Make me Smile " live, his legs shake the same way? Almost as if he is walking but standing still kind of movement . . . . I wonder if this is something to aid his timing ??
Ok my immediate question before watching this video…..Is this the same concert as Chicago Live In Japan on CD⁉️Too lazy to look up the date….but I’m sure location is the same
Terry Kath Spotlight - very interesting and a wonderful addition to a remarkable catalogue of material from an exceptional band. we are indebted to you for your upload
Peter Cetera when he ROCKED. Look at him singing while playing funky bass on State of the Union. Hard to believe it was the same guy singing So Sad to Say I’m Sorry and so many other shit ballads.
I appreciate whomever is going through the trouble and care of transferring all of these Chicago performances or tv appearances to a medium that we can all enjoy. Thank you!
So good! So sad! What has happened to our people/ nation? 💥🇺🇸
I'm sure I'm not the first to notice the frame is reversed
@@lizcenterfield1963 ~ it’s not reversed. Look at the guitars and the trombone. If it were reversed the guitars would look like left handed guitars.
When the camera is in back of them some of those shots are reversed.
Absolutely!

The energy that Terry brought to Chicago has been unsurpassed since his passing and never will be as great as it was then we love you man
Its not just Terry, the first 10 yrs were a band on a mission. But ya, with his loss, things probably veered a very different course. He brings the coolness, and a ton of the greatness for sure.
I also appreciate who is finding all the footage of the real Chicago, love seeing Terry Kath
I've been a Chicago fan from the beginning. No band like them in the world. A collection of world class musicians. They make me shiver, they are so very wonderful! Nothing like them on this planet!
One of the most talented groups in rock history. And Danny is one of the most underrated drummers in rock imo. Not a weak link in this group!

This is the Chicago I love and miss even though they're all doing their own thing now. This is the Chicago I miss.

In JAPAN?

I saw them for the first in that year in Melbourne AUS. "Fancy Colors" was the opening number......my first real rock concert!

Chicago in all their early glory. I saw them for the first time in November of this same year.
Jim Pankow is the reason i started playing trom!

and still blowing strong !

Lee at1:44 is so young, he needs to show some ID !
He was already 25 by the time this video was recorded.
check out Terry @ 119:19 LOL
AWESOME !!!
Crowd loved it !
Yeah, do you think he had Jimi in mind?
Wonder what his drug of choice was
I was there. From Japan.
I miss the originals too😔
Has anybody noticed in just about every video of Terry Kath playing " Make me Smile " live, his legs shake the same way?
Almost as if he is walking but standing still kind of movement . . . .
I wonder if this is something to aid his timing ??
From 35:53 and on is what I am referring to . . . .
the legs moving a hundred mile and hour :)
Yes! Terry moves his legs when he is playing all the time..it is his time keeping method.
Peter Is so Hot Hot Hot 🔥🔥🔥🤤😍😘🥰♥️👌🏻
Ma jeunesse ! Tous les Musiciens étaient au diapason !
This was performed in the month that I was born (June 1972). What has happened to the 'art' in music?
aww, man! The audio crapped out just in time for Peter's perfect performance of my favorite Chicago song; Questions 67 & 68
state of the unionのterryのギター カッコいい！
Fantastici
отличные ребята
I wonder what Terry Jimi, and Eddie are jammin' right now...?
Ok my immediate question before watching this video…..Is this the same concert as Chicago Live In Japan on CD⁉️Too lazy to look up the date….but I’m sure location is the same
No, this is Tokyo, Live in Japan is Osaka
Jimi Hendrix, Terry Kath, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, etc.
Steve Wilson did a remix of the poorly recorded and very muddy Chicago 2 on vinyl and CD it’s AWSOME!!!
Has anyone heard what Peter is pointing at in the audience during does anybody really know what time it is.
Whoa! Check out Terry at the 1:18 mark!
Can you tell us anything about where this video came from? Who recorded it etc?
This was recorded for Japanese television during their June 1972 Japanese tour. From Nippon Budokan.
Terry Kath Spotlight - very interesting and a wonderful addition to a remarkable catalogue of material from an exceptional band. we are indebted to you for your upload
👍
I've heard Steve winwood's version of I'm a man and I like Chicago's better even though some of the words were changed chicago' is much better.
39:43 Ouah ! Ouah ! Ouah ! Ouah ! :)
Я живу этим
everybody was on
and it was really nice that Danny S didn't have to chase his drums all over the stage like at Tanglewood ;)
ﾃｷﾄｰ伝説ｼﾞｭﾝｼﾞ参上ﾍｯﾍｯﾍｯﾍｯ😁
50:38 Smokin!!!!
Chicago in Tokyo
Just noticed......no apparent foldback speakers! How did they hear each other??
pattomuso ; dynamics on stage.., keeping your eyes and ears open is how !
Depas.
No problem 👍 Doug hickey ,but zep is thee best.
The sound engineer is terrible, They miss half of what's going on on stage.
Warped and bad recording! Chicago sounds much better than heard here.
Peter Cetera when he ROCKED. Look at him singing while playing funky bass on State of the Union. Hard to believe it was the same guy singing So Sad to Say I’m Sorry and so many other shit ballads.
