I'm a big fan of Jason, and I think he does a lot of the original songs beter than Peter ever did. This... Is not one of those songs. I'm sorry, but it's obvious why they no longer play this song. Jason just can't sing this song properly.
However, in his defense, go watch songs like I've Been Searching and Feeling Stronger - He can actually improve on some of the originals.
Just when I thought I'd heard the worst of Jason Scheff … and what's with the pronunciation of somebody - "sumbudaaaah" Why in the world didn't they let Bailey do the lead vocal on this? - he could hit the high notes - Hey Jason, nice falsetto there at 3:27
I gotta hand it to Scheff, he does sound a lot like Cetera here. Had I not seen, but only heard this concert, I may have been fooled into swearing it was Cetera.
Yeah Scheff wasn't bad at all. I've loved everything Chicago has done since their debut in 1969 So no matter who's singing or what song it is, it's all great!
'17-18' Tours, Bailey's a classic with gtr & high background vocals( very close to Cetera).
Poor Jason is in a catch 22, He got bad music press on the 18 tour for being a Cetera clone if U got anything from that tour he sound's too much like him, The guys in the band told him to do them in his own style, The music press left him alone but some fans were peeved that he didn't sound just like Cetera.
@tehlia77 I'm not peeved that he didn't sound just like Cetera, I'm peeved that he doesn't sound like someone who can hit the high notes, sing on key, and not sing through his nose. Jeez - Bailey could have done a much better job on lead on this— he proved he's got chops on the Stone of Sisyphus album.
I think this is the song I saw them do in the 80's, where Jimmy actually came down into the aisle to do his solo. Electrifying; dang, they put on a good show.
Besides the fact that Jason Scheff cracks each time he hits the 3rd note in each verse, this was an excellent performance. It had almost a Cetera-ian type of aura about itself this time. Kinda scary. Really though, besides from that, he was straight on this time. Mind yall this is a classic! Excellent!
chicago es uno de mis grupos favoritos junto con toto y the eagles gracias a lo que ellos hacen la musica nunca se terminara y seguiremos sintiendo emociones maravillosas

If not for Bailey and Pankow salvaging this performance at the end - it's a train wreck, thanks to Scheff's catterwauling

Oh Crap, is this Peter Brady or Jason Schleff going through puberty? Jason's voice cracks practically after each verse.

Scheff is amazing. when I heard Will You Still Love Me on Chicago 18, I thought it was Cetera singing.

Chicago took the low bid when they got Scheff. He's not really BAD - it's just that they could have done better.
He did OK the first part of this song but then embarrasses himself at the end. I can see why they don't do that one in concert anymore.
fayette202 2 years ago
I thought it was awful what they did to Cetera. But Scheff's Will you still love me was great.
imachildofthe80s8089 2 years ago
Scheff is good, Chicago could have done better. The chemistry must have been right. Well, I guess he's still there isn't he.

I think it's great especially for the recording. Love those horns. I feel like a kid again and wondering "what does this song really mean?" Lol...
