[andygibb1977]

Al Green is one of the top greatest singers of all time. Nobody can sing like him.

[chunto231]

[jbfiorito]

All I can say is Chicago is the most versatile band I know. Rock, Jazz, Soul, Blues,Pop, Latin................

[MUN7001]

mandrill is bitch

[guitargroovin]

Al Green and James Brown were blessed with endless soul!

[terrykaren]

I love Chicago.

[yomamadontdanz]

Queenlady1 Al Green is so smooth he could make any song sound magical...what a voice!!!I wish that crazy bitch that dumped grits on him would burn in hell.

[QueenLady1]

He is THE MAN! NUF SAID!

[Motown65]

What TV special is this from? This needs to come out on DVD, if its not already out.

[miles581]

The band members of Chicago look as amazed as all of us at what comes out of Al's mouth! This was MUSIC!

[NeoGundamX]

This kicks ass. I love Al Green and Chicago. Wish more artists across genres would do stuff like this. This is pretty damn cool.

[maxeythecat]

Al Green....absolute perfection.

[adamnoriginalname]

[MoonwalkerPJ]

wow, Chicago and Al Green? mind blowing! i was just asked to sing this one. i see i'm gonna have to include this gem in my list of songs to cover :D - fuzzy soul tiger, Mr. PJ

[ojeda65]

Hell of a combination!!

[dbobarracus]

Two powerhouses!...putting these two together is like crossing the streams on the Ghostbuster's proton packs..."all life as you know it stops instantaneously and every molecule in your body explodes at the speed of light." I believe there is a wormhole somewhere in the centauri system that was created from this jam session.

[yomamadontdanz]

Listening to Al Green makes me wanna go eat some soul food and I'm white!!!lol  hahaha ..so smooth!!

[rollinontheriver]

Al Green lives 60 miles from me and I have never met him. Listening to him makes me want to you know what! He's an ICON from Memphis. I have loved him from the beginning

[QueenLady1]

You are too funny. LOL. He is GREAT!! What a voice!  What a groove he has - super smooth! I like your comment!

[funkafizeme]

Does this groove or what!! Soulful, beautiful stuff!

[Roger11733]

Perfect pairing, taking a song to another level ...

[yomamadontdanz]

Rev Al with Chicago is to beautiful to watch and listen to...look at the grins on the band's faces!

[muggchum]

Awesome. I remember watching this when it first aired. Two of my favorites at the time.

[juliano66]

This put a fuckin smile on my face!--

[nailboy2]

this makes me feel sentimental for so many reasons. this video is soooooooooo coooooool!!!

[CapricornMale]

I love and Al & Chicago and to see them together just gave me Chills!

A++++++

Sing it Al!

[jimtroy63]

Pure music, genuine, precise, beautiful.

[kofla29]

espetacular al gree

[BabyG18]

OMG..his voice is so beautiful..

[hopediamond4real]

Sing it,BIG AL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Y'all know this is the lonely hearts' "national anthem", right????

Is my boy thumping that bass, or what????

[steve1954lancaster]

I love this song. Al Green is one of the first black singers I really liked listening to growing up in Philly in the 60s and 70s.

[dacheza]

amazing

[caritasage]

AWESOME in every way!!!! Great talent and music! Thanks so much for posting it.

[mardavben]

Chicago is one of my favorite groups and to add Al Green to that just makes it that much better.

[justfinewithme]

This made my day. The mutual admiration & respect these artists had for each other comes through in the performance. That is what makes it so excellent!

[egcollins]

Yeah, I agree with you. And it's great seeing how excited all the members of Chicago are to have Al Green there. The big smiles all say, "Oh man! It's really him!!! This is unreal!"

[FAyalapoggi]

never knew about this. but, hell, you're right: los genios son genios, f. iturburu

[72gibson]

Pros are pros are pros.

[CHS1987]

Home grown soul, blue eyed soul....Who cares. As long as it is heart felt, SOUL IS SOUL.

[MasterKoga]

Dayummmmmmmmm. Allright lets do it then. The waterfall line. Its all hilarious. The meeting of two super powers.

[ByHisWounds]

Listen to the smooth groove that Danny, Peter, and Terry lay down here. This version definitely tops Al's hit solo recording. The horns add so much, as usual. Awesome R&B bass playing by Cetera.

[swankrecords]

yawn.

[mrm4xim4m]

this is great! go listen to westlife!

[scsassy123m]

So sweet, so sweet. I just love him, always have,from the first time I saw him in the early 70's at the CARTER BARON AMPHITHEATER IN WASHINGTO DC. LOVE HIM < LOVE HIM

[Funkyme4]

I always thought Peter played Bass left hand on a right handed bass???

[17in74]

Saw Chicago last summer at an outdoor venue, the same way I saw my first "Al Green" concert - Universal Aphitheatre 73-74' Man he had some Soulful pipes! smoooooth...

[emailrick]

tried or TIRED!!

[millsbrothers]

TIRED

[jeffkahl]

the Rev at his best!

[BumpCityDave]

Talk about the cats who got the cream!!!! See the looks on their faces, wonderful! Terry Kath looking like he won first prize at everything. Music from that era was all about having fun, sadly I don't see it today.

[emailrick]

what's the name of the song?

[1969123]

IT'S CALLED "TRIED OF BEING ALONE".

[kalkman1972]

Look how fuc##in exstatic they are,what a Jam!

[rcole04]

I Loved Al Green in the 70's and I love Al Green now He is a classic. I even have Al Green as my ringtone on my cell phone.

[mansamunsa]

stand ovation

[keaotn24]

wow this is like finding treasure

[Funkyme4]

Ooww how awfulll great!! fantastic. !!

I always thougth Peter played lefthanded om a righthanded base.

[phil270782]

What a great clip - I think the grins on the band's faces say it all. I saw him live in 2007 (was grinning all the way through), he's still goin strong! :)

[Mattbluhalofan]

This exact performance was recorded and included as a bonus track on the Rhino release of Chicago VI.

[saholben]

dont make music like this no more ....puts a smile on your face...by TALENTED MUSICIANS

[5point0]

beautiful. Just beautiful. Made me put off suicide plans for another day

[yviva]

he was such a lovely young man, and a genius

[billclave]

I am the penultimate Chicago fan. This was unknown to me and made my day. How cool is this?

[themaniac805]

excellent

[cosmlayla]

I love this song! Thanks for posting!

[musiclover59]

Wow!!! Outstanding!!! Chicago had more soul than they were ever credited for. The great Al Green sitting in proves it.

[kimba00]

OMG! This is great.

[jamesbrown69]

THIS IS incredible!!!

[handball00]

He is the best. I may very well be the ultimate Al Green fan. His smile and his super soulful way make me jump up and down. He is the ultimate groovy guy.  Thank Jesus for him.

[welchsa]

The looks on Chicagos faces is priceless. It doesn't get much better than this. What a great sound! It looks live...but I would think they'd all be wearing headphones - otherwise the instruments would bleed into Al's mic. Anyway, who cares - this vid has made my day! Thanks for posting!!

[stevez11]

NOW THATS IN THE POCKET!!!!!

[bentfamily]

Al is exceptional... His voice sounds exactly like the studio recording. The father of Soul. I love the Falsesetto @ 1:59... Very soft and soulfood tone!

[cinemabuckles]

No, really. When he sits down like that, sings like that, how could she not love him like she say she do?

[ButteredSoul]

I love the expressions on the Chicago guys' faces. They're as amazed as we all are!

[JBALLZ1999]

bass is thumping

[saxguitarman]

i don't think it gets much better than this. really nice job!

[cranie4]

Wow..never knew this existed..One of Al's greatest songs with the shit hot Chicago backing him up. Terry playing tasty guitar..damn

[DOCTORxHOUSE]

Peter rocks that bass line!

-Angel-

[Newfer58]

You got that right, that white P bass is the signature bass sound of Chicago. Tone city!

[roadtoader]

Al never sounded so good.

Chicago is the best...I couldn't ever want Al

to sound better.

This is really great...I think Al is really a

great singer, but with this back up band he

truly shines. Too bad he can't get together

with them now...

[brianna0401]

I love Al Green so much.

Does somebody know how old is he?

He looks like 'Pursuit of Happiness''s son.

I didn't forget his name.

[raydarammer]

Wow! Classic, indeed!

[chavelo57]

awesome video,,I remember seeing this on the tube,,so many years ago,,,I was just a kid,,,

[sepod]

Incredible stuff. Who woulda thunk it...Chicago and Al Green together. This stuff is genius. Thank you

[arriborda]

ehi you kids talk to me about al

[clairius]

That's Al Green's drummer. The Chicago guys look like they can't believe their luck playing with Al!

[colongary]

Sorry, that's NOT Al's drummer. That is indeed Danny Seraphine, who was Chicago's original drummer. Watch it again, then go check out some more EARLY Chicago, and you'll see.

[clairius]

You're right--I must have been hallucinating! Al Green's drummer is a very distinctive black guy! Still, loved this video.

[colongary]

Yes, me too! Too bad they didn't tour together back then. I'm so glad that I was around during that "golden" era. It was all about the music then.

[17in74]

Al Jackson

[roboshuffle]

Sick. Much love to Al Green and Chicago.

[bubbjay2k]

ugh, so so :-{

[hdkduidi]

[rosevelt1]

Pure Magic, two Hall of Fame caliber musical entities - TOGETHER!!!

[Tee167]

[taboo69]

[bigsis2007]

I heard this for the first time on the Rhino re-issue. I'm glad to actually have a chance to see it.THANKS!

[circleofhands]

[kathlammpankow]

Amazing. How many human beings can say they sang accompanied by CHICAGO? !! THE COMPLETE CTA!!!!!!

How I wish I could have just shaked Terry's hand!

[akoabo]

how many people can say they've played with one of the greatest soul singers ever, AL GREEN....nonetheless they're both great!

[foetbal1]

[rafael28]

with a doubt my favorite al green song!

[Brilliantbeing]

Unbelievable!

[regscott]

[rastinchacha7]

Without doubt, the Rev. Al Green was the greatest soul singer of all time. Just listen to that effortless performance! Classic! 5 Stars and more!

[roddiggler]

i'd have to say david ruffin #1, al green 1a

[sonjaxfactor]

[PC4ever]

Peter is always very cool.

[circleofhands]

[trezuru]

This is some good medicine...

[2thbush5190]

Very nice. Al Green's seemingly effortless vocals are amazing. I saw this when it was first aired and haven't seen it since. Thank you

[50marioD]

Parkwaymania, thanks for this classic.thanks for all the Chicago video's.their songs are classics,paticularly the ones with Kath.i can still remember reading about terry's death while having lunch at work in '78. keep'em coming.

[n0ne001]

Parkwaymania, thanks for posting this. This is simply terrific!!! Hope you can post more Chicago vids like this one.

[AMauri27]

This is awesome...Great to see Peter Cetera in the group....This is a definite treat...Parkwaymania...U da man!

[disco4ever]

Al Green and Chicago! This is my Christmas present video post for 2006! I'm not tired of being alone listening to this song!

[pecs2006]

Thanks for posting this, I thought I'd seen this performance for the last time.

[DracIsBack]

It's great to see Peter Cetera on the bass again! Thanks for posting!

[Newfer58]

Peter is using that fantastic P-bass, I believe he played that bass on all of Chicago's early records, and on a lot of the songs recorded at Caribou Ranch.

[beebee413]

Great video, please post more!

[hamwinkie]

Most soulful voice ever. nice, Bobby Lamm too. Although Terry Kath's voice is up there among the best.

[HowieP]

This audio is on the rerelease of Chicago VI.

[kheadenmd]

spectacularly superb!!!

[ammarkie]

audio is very good for being so old

[barkbarkwoof1]

I wish this was on DVD. I think I saw it around 1973 or 1974 on TV and wanted to have it ever since. Thanks for the post.

[Parkwaymania]

Glad you liked it. I'll probably post some more.

Cheers
