      Well, luckily, there is a fair amount of live material out there on CZcams and elsewhere. I saw them three times in concert. First time was around 1973 at the old Boston Garden and Bruce Springsteen opened for them. He had a tuba in the band at the time for some reason. But all we wanted to hear was Chicago.

    It was written in the mid 60's by Stevie Winwood when he was 15. Watch the YT of The Spencer Davis group. Stevie was the keyboard player, then went off to form Blind Faith with Eric Clapton when Cream broke up. Then he joined Traffic, then was dissolusioned with the music industry for a while then came back in the late 70's for a solo career.

They accept and went. They talked about collaborating on a project, which did not happen. T Kath died from a self inflicted gun shoot wound, he was drunk/ high. He was a gun guy.
