Wow. I thought Jason Schlepp sucked now because his voice was shot after two decades of singing above his range. But to hear this from 1987 I realize he has always sucked. Pitch, man, PITCH!
First time hearing this live. They came pretty close to the original version. Would be cool to hear them play more of the songs you don't hear much on the radio in their current shows. Oh well, still love them all the same.
Man, what a difficult song to pull off... and without using tracks, either. Holy crap. Champlin's lines in the bridge sound AMAZING. And ease up on Jason, he was fresh out of college and suddenly playing with his favorite band, a band with amazing singers, and he had to hit all the high stuff all night. That shit ain't easy.
@DENo1MatchGameFan I was hoping to find the remake of "25 or 6 to 4" cause you just dont here it any more... Wonder if ChicagoKid has a copy of it? You know what would be even better. The LIVE version, when it first came out, they started with the old version and mixed the remake half way through. I recall that was pretty sweet.
@galaxian00 I never got to hear the remixed version with the original, but I DO remember the remake when it came out - hated it at first, but now it ain't really too bad! "Niagara Falls" is still better though!
Wow...are you kidding me! These guys are fantastic! I can't belive how great they performed this song. This is a really tough song to do live, and they nailed it!
I just listened to "Follow Me" and now this--- what's amazing to me is that I always thought these songs were just studio creations. These guys could really play these songs.
I actually like Scheff's vocals on here. But like so many, he over sings in his later years.

Wow! This is the kind of stuff that Chicago should mix into their live sets. Gotta tell y'all, I miss Danny way more than Peter.
