One of the greatest bands there will ever be!!! Loved them since 67 when I was 8, My uncle took me to see them in 68 at the Garden and been to 31 more since then!
only because Terry killed himself..and thats when the band felt sorry for him, (towards the end) the band was going nowhere with Terry, Peter Cetera was the saviour with his mega No 1 hits
Donnie Dacus had the full limelight with this band, and took full advantage ...Terry Kath was a boring overweight hippie hendrix wannabe with drug problems in the disco era, that's why he pulled the trigger.
@panzerfile63 Please tell me your joking... Kath was the heart and soul of Chicago. Dacus was just a good player and a good showman and all, but he didn't have the soul that Kath did.
@Megas9900 Robert Lamm, James Pankow and Peter Cetera were the very heart and soul of Chicago and writers of the band's STRONGEST material and greates hits, what hit did Terry ever wrote?? by the 70's all were unhappy with his unhappiness and he became a victim of his own circumstance and his own doom.
That;s DONNIE DACUS HOT LICKS on lead guitar!! the man chosen to replace the departed Terry Kath and this guy REAL ROCKS!!! the BEST that band ever had
This is what a REAL BAND sounds like, kiddies. This is where we separate the men from the boys - and these guys were definitely THE MEN. Thanks for sharing this...
so me and my friends want to play this song for our school talent show. does anybody know where we can get the original score to this song. not a marching band or jazz ensamble version, but the version theyre playing here. can anybody help??
@TheFacelessK I came here just because of him requesting it being played during the last dance at the prom. Never really listened to Chicago before, but this is mindblowing :D
i saw these guys back in 82 , i had been on " vacation " 4 the last 4 yrs and mom wanted to take me to a concert , when she told me it was chicago i said ahh thanks but i was thinkin " fuck ! y not van halen or the who , fuckin chicago ? needless 2 say i was blown away , they really rocked . i was inpressed
Kath was a great guitarist but here in this masturbatory solo he's doing his level best to emulate and imitate Peter Frampton at his homosexual best; from hair to dress tro antics. Stop all the arguing about nothing and go jerk-off to your Yngwie Malmsteen records.
It is sad that Kath didnt make it this far in his life and will not be remembered by as many as he should be. But GODDAMN THAT GUY HAS SOME CHOPPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a great song! Funny but it's all about one of the band members who wrote it couldn't sleep & was thinking of questions and than counting them like sheep to go to sleep! Simple ideas MAKE MONEY!
Sort of late to add this-- Can't bear to watch this guitarist totally overact his whole schtick. Looks like shit. Plays well - well actually overplayed the lead. Less is more sometimes especially when it is supposed to transmit expression -- just too much crap. TK's playing took you somewhere. Listen to
Eric Clapton. Doesn't try to play 100 notes per second. Expression. Emotion.
@murphstrings Sad but true. I just read "Street Player" By Danny Seraphine, the drummer. I'm sure they all would have rather had Terry there as well, and this was right after the incident, You know all the guys in the band are still in shock. They had to go on as a group, with Contracts to fulfill, and all the drugs and infighting was tearing them apart in 1979. A lot of tragedy in this story. Great Music though! Great Talented Band.
no auto tone. oh my god really? because i thought people fucking had that technology fourty years ago. im so fucking sick of everyone trying to make sure other people know their music is the best, if u litsen to chicago, cool , if u dont, cool i dont give a fuck, i know the music i listen to is good nad i dont need to prove to other strangers but posting retarded comments under videos. stfu and if ur gunna bring something to the conversations . if ur just gunna say im 12 and love this song.
You're all idiots if you don't recognize the riff from "Communication Breakdown" -- try to learn more than one Zep song before becoming a Zep historian LOL...BTW this the great Donnie Dacus on guitar, who filled in admirably after Kath shot himself.
to all the pop stars of today....and their fans............this is pure awesome music at it's finest glad i was able to experience it the first time around.
Chicago auctioned off spots to sing one of their songs during their last tour to raise money for a cause; wouldn't it be sweet if they auctioned off the oppurtunity to play the guitar solo in this song?
@Hakiblack Im the biggest Led Zeppelin fan ever, but they completely stole that word for word and music from a folk musician about 10 years before Led Zeppelin 1 came out...
Actually, double bass drums at 3:43. Nice. Just caught that. I think this was a good solo by Donnie Dacus. He didn't need to move around stage as much as he did. That's never been Chicago's style.
@retrorokkit I have to agree with you here 100%. The solo was all over the freaking place. Completely lost the jazzy vibe and soul of Terry's original version.
I really had no idea how good Donnie was - I heard the come back song "Alive Again" and he didnt shine much in that tune - wish I heard him like this back then!
@rainbowpunk73 You've got to be kidding? You must have this confused with the original guitarist, Terry Kath. That, I would whole heartedly agree with you on.
This guy sucks. He's all about "look at me put on a show and look how fast I can play."

carina2244-Thank you for your response. This performance is no question outstanding, to the point of *Confusion* on my part, thinking *No one but Terry* could come close to that. I already saw your comment-About being heart broken, and *Not quite ready to give Dacus a chance.* In 7th grade, I started playing CTA music and have my life-Ever so sad... Thank you so... Blessings... Charlie +
BUT, having said that, there will NEVER, EVER, EVER be another Terry. He was the gold -- actually no -- the PLATINUM standard. Carlos, Espero que esto te encuentres bien. Muchas gracias por otro gran video de mi grupo favorito de todos los tiempos. Eres un verdadero amigo para los aficionados de Chicago! Saludos, Carina
Carlos, I hope this finds you well. Thank you very much for another great video of my favorite band of all time. You are a true friend to the fans of Chicago! Greetings, Carina
I'm going to go out on a proverbial ledge here and say that Dacus was probably the best follow up for Terry that the band ever had. I went to only one concert after Terry died (09/78 in Central Park); And, quite unfairly, I totally dismissed him because my heart was broken by Terry's death. In retrospect, and after having viewed many later concert clips, I must admit that he was very good. There is something about his playing, perhaps a fearlessness that is very reminiscent of Terry's playing.
Per Wike - Terry Alan Kath (January 31, 1946 – January 23, 1978), born in Chicago, Illinois, was the original guitarist and founding member of the rock band Chicago. He died in 1978 at the age of 31 from an unintentional self-inflicted gunshot wound. \\\ He meant a lot to me... / Could someone *Of knowledge* reconcile this being a 1979 concern, or correct Wike... Thanks - Charlie +
@AgentEmerald007 Hi, not quite sure if you're asking about Terry being in this video or not. Terry did indeed die on January 23, 1978. His first replacement, Donnie Dacus, is playing guitar in this clip (guy with the long blonde hair playing what used to be one of Terry's finest solos). This concert was in September 1979 -- 20 months after Terrry's death. There have been a succession of other guitar players since, the present one being Keith Howland.
You something guys..as candyassed and flashy pants as Donnie was, he is the only guitarist that actually evoked any Terry-ness in his style on certain cuts on the album and especially the song, HOT STREETS.
Terry kath was at least tasteful in his leads. This guy is trying to be an acrobat of the 6 strings. Maybe he thinks he is playing with Styx. LOL. I'm kidding. I saw Chicago in 1986 and I thought they were fabulous. At least the horn section hasn't changed. Cliff
@TheDannyparks hey wut r u talkin about Styx has Tommy Shaw and James Young the BEST GUITARISTS EVER!!!!!!!!!!! terry kath wont a good guitarist but Styx beats chicago anyday
What I don't understand about the whole Donnie Dacus thing is, on "Hot Streets" and "13", He wrote and sang his share of songs, and as this video shows, he's a very good player. If Chicago was gonna get rid of him, why was he granted such a substantial role, singing and playing? At first I thot it was an 'age' thing, but then look at Jason Scheff of the present-day Chicago. He was young when he joined. Some things I don't understand...
the One and the Original lead Vocal & Bassist, also the Original Drummer of the famous "25 or 6 to 4" song, Ladys & Gentlemen Mr. Chicago themselves PETER CETERA & (founding member) Danny Seraphine!
@MrBavery Don't talk about stealing - it is obvious that the WHOLE SONG is a blatant rip-off of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". Same key, basically the same progression, similar groove, with a bridge in the relative minor. All you horn fanatics think horn bands are the only bands with any talent or originality, and that Chicago is the "Only" band to combine jass and rock n roll.
@xiphoguy Don't even begin to label me, when you don't know who I am. I don't even listen to this band, although I like their stuff. I'm in a band, and we have talent. Billy Joel has talent. Disturbed has talent, whoah shit! Alot of songs have similar keys, similar scales to follow, and similar riffs to play. What you said was "...Same key, basically the same progression, similar groove, with a bridge in the relative minor. That sounds like a different song to me.Green Day COMPLETELY ripped this
@xiphoguy So why don't you just think about what your really saying, before you make an argument with someone who knows what they're talking about? Okay?
@MrBavery What were we arguing about? I agreed w you that Green Day ripped off the song, i just went on to say that Chicago themselves may have gotten parts of the songs from "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". (BTW, I also noticed that the first phrase of the melody of both songs is the same). Ironically, George Harrison lost a plagiarism suit against the composers of "He's So Fine" because it was too similar to "My Sweet Lord". There are only 12 different notes; it's a matter of AMOUNT similarity
Really? You don't think he cuts it? The guy is in a no win situation. Filling TK's shoes. If he plays too differently, or God forbid with his own style, he'd be trashed by guys like you. Do you play guitar? This guy is a VERY good guitarist. Don't crap on him because he's not Terry, because nobody is. Give him a break. He did a very good job of emulating what people expect, and giving it something more. He smokes.
@karen031207 : the "hall of shame" is a BIG JOKE!..CHICAGO, could've, would've, should've (along w/ GRAND FUNK RAILROAD & PAUL REVERE & THE RAIDERS) been inducted, if it were'nt for those KNUCKLE HEADS who ever they are! x0\
to richard105...The RNRHOF is 100% politics, and early on Chicago did something (cant recall what) to piss off someone on the Board of Directors, and the guy said that as long as he was on the Committee, Chicago would never be inducted. Sucks, huh?
If you want to hear a horn section that will blow the walls out, just google "Tower of Power"
@rainmanx63 they put it in ohio because nobody wanted it in new york or in los angeles and the mayor of cleavland got behind it now that they have an annex in new york they have an opportunity to do something differant they could have some mention of new york musicians not inducted yet like the songwriters hall of fame did.
Re: the guitar solo - It was the '70's, and arena rock was all about over-the-top, self-indulgent guitar solos. At first I was trying to figure out why Peter Frampton was playing with Chicago and I thought it a bit rude that he was trying to steal the show. lol Great stuff none the less.

Per Wike - Terry Alan Kath (January 31, 1946 – January 23, 1978), born in Chicago, Illinois, was the original guitarist and founding member of the rock band Chicago. He died in 1978 at the age of 31 from an unintentional self-inflicted gunshot wound. \\\ He meant a lot to me... / Could someone *Of knowledge* reconcile this being a 1979 concern, or correct Wike... Thanks - Charlie +

@AgentEmerald007 Hi, not quite sure if you're asking about Terry being in this video or not. Terry did indeed die on January 23, 1978. His first replacement, Donnie Dacus, is playing guitar in this clip (guy with the long blonde hair playing what used to be one of Terry's finest solos). This concert was in September 1979 -- 20 months after Terrry's death. There have been a succession of other guitar players since, the present one being Keith Howland.

You something guys..as candyassed and flashy pants as Donnie was, he is the only guitarist that actually evoked any Terry-ness in his style on certain cuts on the album and especially the song, HOT STREETS.

Terry kath was at least tasteful in his leads. This guy is trying to be an acrobat of the 6 strings. Maybe he thinks he is playing with Styx. LOL. I'm kidding. I saw Chicago in 1986 and I thought they were fabulous. At least the horn section hasn't changed. Cliff

What I don't understand about the whole Donnie Dacus thing is, on "Hot Streets" and "13", He wrote and sang his share of songs, and as this video shows, he's a very good player. If Chicago was gonna get rid of him, why was he granted such a substantial role, singing and playing? At first I thot it was an 'age' thing, but then look at Jason Scheff of the present-day Chicago. He was young when he joined. Some things I don't understand...

if im not mistaken, Green Day stole the opening riff in this song. Cheaters!
MrBavery 1 year ago
@MrBavery Don't talk about stealing - it is obvious that the WHOLE SONG is a blatant rip-off of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". Same key, basically the same progression, similar groove, with a bridge in the relative minor. All you horn fanatics think horn bands are the only bands with any talent or originality, and that Chicago is the "Only" band to combine jass and rock n roll.
xiphoguy 1 year ago
@xiphoguy Don't even begin to label me, when you don't know who I am. I don't even listen to this band, although I like their stuff. I'm in a band, and we have talent. Billy Joel has talent. Disturbed has talent, whoah shit! Alot of songs have similar keys, similar scales to follow, and similar riffs to play. What you said was "...Same key, basically the same progression, similar groove, with a bridge in the relative minor. That sounds like a different song to me.Green Day COMPLETELY ripped this

@xiphoguy So why don't you just think about what your really saying, before you make an argument with someone who knows what they're talking about? Okay?
MrBavery 1 year ago
@MrBavery What were we arguing about? I agreed w you that Green Day ripped off the song, i just went on to say that Chicago themselves may have gotten parts of the songs from "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". (BTW, I also noticed that the first phrase of the melody of both songs is the same). Ironically, George Harrison lost a plagiarism suit against the composers of "He's So Fine" because it was too similar to "My Sweet Lord". There are only 12 different notes; it's a matter of AMOUNT similarity

bigdad4711 1 year ago
Really? You don't think he cuts it? The guy is in a no win situation. Filling TK's shoes. If he plays too differently, or God forbid with his own style, he'd be trashed by guys like you. Do you play guitar? This guy is a VERY good guitarist. Don't crap on him because he's not Terry, because nobody is. Give him a break. He did a very good job of emulating what people expect, and giving it something more. He smokes.

to richard105...The RNRHOF is 100% politics, and early on Chicago did something (cant recall what) to piss off someone on the Board of Directors, and the guy said that as long as he was on the Committee, Chicago would never be inducted. Sucks, huh?

Re: the guitar solo - It was the '70's, and arena rock was all about over-the-top, self-indulgent guitar solos. At first I was trying to figure out why Peter Frampton was playing with Chicago and I thought it a bit rude that he was trying to steal the show. lol Great stuff none the less.
