Chicago- If She Would Have Been Faithful -LIVE

[adnawecap]

Thank you so much! I have listened to Chicago for years but this is by far one of my favorites!

[diegodelvalle10]

que buen temaaa locoo, no puede ser tanto derroche de de talento!!

[Silky4ever]

Is there anyway to get a DVD of this concert?

[nadobass]

This is my favorite "Chicago 18" song.

[tdolka]

@ChicagoKid1969 Why did Bailey get fired?

[AceAlive2]

@tdolka

they were recording the stone of sisyphus and apparently they werent going to use alot of his material....then the label said the album was unreleaseable, so he walked.

[viajesmusicales]

Esta balada e buenisima los solos son espetaculares la musica es magica

[viajesmusicales]

Esta balada e buenisima

[tosh3030]

@ChicagoKid1969 You're correct, as you can see that's Jason up front, who came on board for 18. The '87 concert WAS the BEST Chicago concert I've ever seen, where they opened up with the 18 version of 25 or 6 to 4. I remember it well, as each slap of the drum was choreographed with pulsating lights to start the show.

[planeagain]

An amazing video, ChicagoKid. Thanks so much! And yes, of course it is Danny on the drums as he would be for Chicago 19 too. I've just been at Chicago´s concert this January 15 2011 at Auditorio Nacional, Mexico, and unfortunately they didn't play nothing further to Chicago 17, so Jason couldn´t be heard singing his own hits. It was a great presentation though. Thanks again, I haven't seen this If she would have been faithful performance before, one of my favorites of Chicago songs. Greetings!

[tosh3030]

@planeagain - Wow - I'm really happy that you pointed out the song set didn't go past 17 - ONCE AGAIN. I LOVE Chicago, but I vowed never to see them live again because they ignore almost everything after 17, but with a few renditions of Look Away or What Kind of Man. I'm tired of hearing the same songs at each concert.

[MrNostalgiaX]

Excellent song! I just wish they'd perform songs from Chicago 18 and 19 when they perform and not just all the "Classic" 60s and 70s stuff. Love them too but dang come on, these songs are just as good!

[urthangl]

peter cetera's voice made chicago..this lead singer is no comparison! not even close

[greekmaverick]

At some point, Jason Scheff really was Chicago's second wind. But man, the entire band sounds fantastic here.

[bollockart]

Is that Peter Cetera on bass?

[TuxedoRay]

@bollockart no he left the band by then

[perpetual61]

Chicago has had So Many Hits through the Years. its to bad there aren't Many Official Videos for Many of them. Still a Great Band no less.

[27sounds]

This is likely from 1987--they only toured this song immediately after the album release. Also, that is Danny Seraphine, not Tris.

[jferrante42]

I totally forgot about this song!  God I miss this sound.

[rogmc69]

0:49, Yeah it was child support enforcement. 

[TracyBeth87]

I love this song! Brings back great memories...

[promisekeeperson]

undoubtedly one of the best songs of the group, not only to quality music but also for the excellent lyrics quality ...

[promisekeeperson]

undoubtedly one of the best songs of the group, not only to quality music but also for the excellent print quality ...

[PhilUSM]

best song in the world

[Aaronator19842009]

Great Video, Thanks for the upload

[fosterfitness]

This is a good one to listen to if you got cheated on and are looking toward a hopeful future.

[musictranscription]

My friend asked me to transcribe this for him

[MrSteveUtah]

I dedicate this to my Nasty Evil Ex Wife who I only got together with because she got Pregnant on purpose and I lived in missery with for nine years so that I could be a Dad.

Thank GOD she was unfaithful and I told her to pack her bags,Boy life is great without her,I now get to live and be me again.

Amen

[spatemdim]

Gulp. This is an awful recording.

[dkurina73]

This is a great 80s cheesy love song...Love it...

[LTAprilFools1963]

Flawless live performance

[spoonman73]

Another great song from an amazing band.

[stavrophotography]

Chicago 18,19,21 were just as good as, if not better than 17.. And this is one of those little known songs.

[2468fire]

A great sound, one off.

[JonnVon23]

Of course I do. But sorry dude, Bailey really don't sell to me. He may be good in SOS but overall, he's fluke. Sorry to say that but just tha's my view on him.

[JonnVon23]

Beautiful song.. really! But in this video, D. Bailey ruin the night with his "non-existent" style. He's really a non-performer, don't have feeling with what he's doing. Glad K. Howland replaced him already..

[yeoGlover]

Bailey is awesome-second to only Kath in my opinion.

[JonnVon23]

I don't agree. I think Chris Pinnick is still better than Bailey. I even consider Keith Howland better than him especially based on this video.

[joserafaf]

Aweson song I really love it specially is from the 80s later! ♥♥♥♥♥

[22umpire]

great song!!

i love this song!!

[rociogac]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[buschmann69]

fantastic song and lyrics

[JAB5625]

Violet, i love this song too...

[VioletFielding]

This Is My Fave Song From Chicago!!!!!!!

[angieDTB]

WOOOOW another beauty

[lauraken]

ABSOLUTELY! I totally agree with you! This song is sooo beautiful...:)

[UofL93]

in the studio producers or even artist push to get that perfect sound, its take after take. you can do it only once live. they get through this smoothly.

[newarkcatholicfan]

This song is so good and though it takes me back to way to many events in my past I still love it, the song.

[luna9878]

I LOVE this song!!!

[moyamanuel]

ufffff

[kincher23]

Nice!

[yeoGlover]

Was Dwayne here on this track? Sounds like maybe he's on the backing.

[mobile4357]

Yes that is Dawayne Bailey on guitar. You can't miss that signature sound. Besides you see him at 2:21.

[ZackT618]

I can honestly say this is the best version out there and I'm glad it was found. Who in their right mind wants to hear goddamn mortar shells instead of drums played as well as computerized vocals?

[lauraken]

One of the BEST songs ever written! The arrangment, and vocals are superb...3:30 is the best part.I have been listening to this song for years, and Chicago is one of the best bands around...LEGENDS...PERIOD.

[MetuNtr]

Can't you people tell the difference between a compliment and a genuine comparison? I know there is a distinct difference, but if you listen to anyone "live" in the last ten years or even less, they damn sure don't sound this good.

Lighten up.

[rkstud632]

This song is true same thing happened to me. I was deeply in love with a woman but she cheated on me. Yea that hurt but I have a wonderful woman who lovesme to death

[ZackT618]

If youre looking for a good song about being cheated on, check out the Judas Priest song entitled Cheater.

[ZackT618]

MetuNtr this sounds much better than the studio version. Processed vocals and electronic drums destroy the music!

[superdrog7]

still think its amazing how i can now watch videos of songs that i've only listened to for many years on tapes!!

great song and long live you tube xD

[MetuNtr]

Why does this sound exactly like the album?

No band can be this good...This is insane.

[BlackmoonUK]

It doesn't sound exactly like the album. This is live, you can clearly tell if you have listened to the album as much as me.

[DOKKENDAVE]

This is one of their classics. This sounds extremely good live!!! These guys are one of the greatest bands ever. I get so sick of people always bringing up Peter- he's been out of the band 23 years and is not coming back, so please get over it! I love Peter's music, but I think Jason is incredible also. Anyways rock on Chicago!

[mitchellmeans]

I agree with you...I saw them twice while I was still in high school

[danydbs]

Ilove this song so much, i love chicago forever!

[disangjosa]

really loved this song!!!

[Pryncenyck]

agreed, its not fair to compare Jason to Peter..they're on 2 separate spectrum's of the singing scale..Jason is more a studio singer..whereas Peter can sing anywhere anyplace ...But giving credit to jason, this is one of his better Live performances ive seen...People may read my comment and think im bashing jason,but the truth is this is one of if not my favorite Chicago songs of all time!

[TracyBeth87]

This song totally brings me back to my senior year.... 1987... I remember having the cassette tape of this album; it was played continously! :)

[HectorsGirl84]

Wow. You just hashed up my own set of memories during my senior year (1987). I, too, played this continuously. Chicago's the best!

[onlythepianoplayer]

Great Song and Great Band! If you get the chance to see them in an outdoor summer concert..... If your young or old.... Its an Amazing concert....4 decades of great music!

[eliotness90]

hola yo soy mexicano pero la banda chicago es una de mis favoritas felicidades

[exualmet]

I actually like this clip as well. I'm not an avid fan of Chicago Mach II, but i'll admit that it's pretty good. Thanks Kid

[ZackT618]

The only way Jason Scheff ever really sounds like Peter Cetera is turning down the pitch to the songs he sings to a certain level. Listen to What Does It Take with the pitch down a little bit. Scheff's tenor is higher than Cetera's.

[algallego]

Jason seems to have to go rather strainedly into his falsetto or head voice, though, which at times makes for a not so great sound. Cetera, oddly enough, has the same problem now when he's singing "live" in concert.

[mignonhenne]

just discovered this gem

[Istandbyme]

How faggy-yuk! WHy isn't Lamm singing-this grouped sucked when Cetera took over.

[y2bs]

this is my fav song of jason with chicago

[samcockrell]

chicago fan's please stop trying to compare jason to peter peter is far better vocally end of story jason has done some great work and he sounds great doing jason i love his bass playing he is perfect with the band but peter is the man one of the best singers period even now his solo shit is great i hope they can get past all the bullshit and get together before they die somebody make it happen

[ptulip]

i agree.....jason is very good, cetera was very good. i think he sounds awesome on this track.

[N0NEoftheAB0VE]

@samcockrell I'd like to hear Scheff and Cetera together

[sgtoca]

wow, never saw this clip before, thanks for sharing. I have always loved this song, even more than the other major hits like Hard Habit, Inspiration...cuz the lyrics are so powerful here, the words tell a story and I can so picture it in front of me. Love Chicago, they are touring now so I sure hope they came to Canada!!

[tyger813]

I wanted to hear this one live along with more of the '80s tunes but unfortuantely they just played '70s mainly. That and their vocals were strained and not as good as Huey lewis and the News sorry. Still a Chicago fan though! Ty

[ZackT618]

This version is much better than the studio version. I cannot stand those processed vocals and electronic drums!

[Sasoy]

Thnx for uploading!!!!

[Pryncenyck]

This is Probably Jason's best vocal on a song since he joined Chicago...The live version is nice ..But the album version is so captivating..nice post!

[BlackCherryRock]

this is my FAVORITE song of theirs

[musicispower84]

Oops crap, I misheard the lyrics. Its I would've been cheated. Not I wouldn't have cheated. So sorry everyone, dont talk trash. I admit I was wrong. That just proves more it was MORE DESERVING OF A NUMBER 1 SPOT! CHICAGO RULES!

[musicispower84]

Funny, I implicitly admitted I was wrong and I misheard the lyrics. And some asshole clicked the thumbs down. Well that's one dumbshit piece of crap. Anyone who sees all the videos I've posted comments in know I love Chicago of any age. Have my critiques but usually they're right. Any if you'r ethe one who clicked that, you know who you are when you read this: fuck you ya idiot.

[algallego]

Don't let it ruffle your feathers, MIP84. Whoever it was, obviously has no appreciation for others sharing their comments and willingness to return and make a correction. Let it be like water off a duck's back so that "thumbs downer" doesn't get you down! I read your comment and saw the need for a correction... "the guy never cheated; he just realizes that if his ex never had and gone her way, he would have never been able to move on to his newly found true love." Good to see you caught it!

[algallego]

BTW, I gave you a thumbs up to cancel one of those thumbs down from the "I---t."

[musicispower84]

Excellent song. People proably didn't like the lyrics enough to make it a number 1 hit. A guy who gets cheated on cheats back, ya know? So I can understand that but I think it deserved a way better reception. I still think it's an excellent song with great vocals and instrumentation. Something Chicago has never ceased to do til this day, despite personnel changes.

[LifeSoulAz]

yes i would have to agree with ChicagoKid here....if you watched And The Band Played On you would notice that Jason's hair is longer in that video.You should really think about what your typing before you claim to know it all.

[galingaling]

THE BEST OF all the chicago after peter...

[LepLuvJoexx]

Now I will never understand why this was never put to video on its' own. Very weird indeed. :-/

[ZackT618]

I would hit the ground if I heard Peter Cetera singing this. I'm sure others would too!

[Pryncenyck]

Agreed Cetera would have killed this too..But the album version of it ..Jason sounds very close to Cetera.

[kennard73]

woooooooooooooow!!! the voices are amazing!!!

[alex9nanc]

For all those out there, who believe in "Darwin's ape Theory" or ,any form of evolution...PROOF... this video demonstrates G-d's (YHVH) divine, masterpiece, "MAN" & woman too( for us ladies)lol- we are created in HIS image. This type of talent was NO accident , my friends.

[alex9nanc]

I L-O-V-E this song.. yu guys are so musically, and vocally, creative--- Noboby beats Chicago.. Timeless talent and sound.. with Peter and without Peter.. but I do miss Peter, his songs , will never be replaced by another singer, you guys had your placement figured out, FLAWLESSLY. and timing. best wishes, nanc

[DHamm1970]

they will always sound good!

[kathlammpankow]

I'll never stop thanking the great ChicagoKid1969... Thanks bro... 80's Chicago on top! 80's Music heroes!

[erichblueace]

AWESOME SONG!!! I listened to this song over and over when it was first released!!!!

[ZackT618]

I'd love to hear what Peter Cetera would sound like if he sang this song.

[dragers30]

great, especially at the end of the song.

[brownstownmike]

IIRC, this was a surprise hit in the spring of '87. Thank God there wasn't a video...considering Chicago's video history, it wouldn't have been very good.

[ShelterDogs]

I agree with this, but you have admit the video for "Stay The Night" is a classic!

[DHamm1970]

Beautiful!

[disangjosa]

i wasn't cheated by this song, i really loved this song!

[tripwire00]

Why does everybody always say that.After Cetera left they suck bands do have to continue after a member leaves its not like their gonna just stop

[yeoGlover]

People are stuck in a TIMEWARP thats why!

God its like 20years ago cetera went,the group have continued good stuff without him like this.

[jayceerose]

Did for once you ever think that this band has survived longer than when Cetera was in it. Give them a break. They are still going strong.

[ljp0687]

I love this song its one of my favorites its what everyone should do be faithful no cheating.

[jwhite3028]

But, if she would have been faithful, then he would have missed out on the love of his life. That was the paradox.....So the songs not advocating faithfullness!

Gorgeous song, love Bill Champlin growling in the background yum

[dereksmalls1985]

One of my favorites! Thanks for posting

[shivakiss]

Yes we do love Chicago. Hot Damn the vocals harmonies are hot.

[jayblac]

One of my fav Chicago songs black foks like chicago too

[yeoGlover]

Wow very good live these guys!

[TEinNY]

This is when Chicago "jumped the shark".... sad but true.

[jason75]

After Peter cetera left.. chicago sucks...

[jkmehoff]

this was when Jasons Voice Was still Very Good

But Not Now!

[piotpiot]

Amazing Band!!!

[Pryncenyck]

Great post one of my fav Chicago songs ..I wish they made a actual video for this song..The horns sound amazing

[dolphins42]

Beautiful ty for sharing
