chicago does anybody really know...

[JustPetrov]

Apparently Lamm does not have the time for any of us.

[66Navyvet]

Nice song man carlos 3261955. I always liked this band with the horns sounds cool.

[appreciateok]

What a Riff...horns ..vocals...words..its all good! growing up it was the bomb..how can you not love this thang.. it rocks..the music today is ah lets just say from 1-10 this is a 10 music today 4 maybe..

[mimurata22]

Listening to this song energizes me; My best Chicago song.

[groovinwalrus]

In a word The Chicago group is great! An American Treasure!

Like so many of American Popular Musicians are..... the great ones!

[ashmarii1]

These guys are so amazing that it's hard to just pick ONE!. I have as many of their albums(that's right...albums) as I could possibly acquire. They became one of my favorite groups in 1969. Every one is a "HIT"!

I did have the opportunity to see them..along with EWF in 2009 @ the Greek in L.A. ......Still got my stub. Just pick a song....you won't go wrong!!.

[longhornliveradio]

awesome 35-40 years later, even better than i remember

[imsracer83]

I may be only 27 yrs old and this band was way before my time but i'll rock the hell out of this song every day, before, anything coming out on the radio waves now a days! whoooooooooohoo

[17865329]

This performance has credibility, because it is the original lead vocalist, the current personell shifts though are starting to border on cover band, more than actually

representing Chicago.

[dwambo]

big band rock...the best ...and Chicago was the best at it!!!

[flytommy1]

I am in heaven...just love them... true story about how this song came about...Does anybody know what time it is?  Does anybody really care? Happiness is relative to time and place...Patti

[rpageio]

I caught these guys in 72. Pure energy.

[buildelectriccarsnow]

E X C E L L E N T !

What a performance !

-

GOD bles those guys ! ( And I Know HE has.. )

[MrJchane]

what the hell is going on with pankows hair

[TheInuyanma]

Three people have brain aneurysms.

[juseph29]

one the greatest bands

[apsy2]

robert lamm is up there with brian wilson as americas top contempory song writers!

[libralady1010]

@apsy2 Robert Lamm is up there with Paul McCartney(!) as well as Brian Wilson! I can never listen to this song too many times. It's a classic for all time and the ages!!

[SteelHorseRiders]

@libralady1010 .... Agree wholeheartedly.... can't tell you how many times I blast this one out of my car every week !

[apsy2]

great number,reminds me of my time in Sydney, Australia in 1971,

[bluezhound]

they were ahead of there time . great musicians . still love this tune after all these years !

[vonlouie10]

galing talaga!! I Love The Horn Parts!

[atomicnumber78]

Damn! Has his voice changed? Very little. This group was simply nice.

[seed1usa]

@atomicnumber78 He's dead....hasn't been around since 1979

[rocknnmike]

Thanks!! Great upload. Sounds really good!

[girljazzlvr]

Reminds me of the wonderful, musical 70's - such incredible music, a great time to be young and alive. This song is woven into my memory and experience of these times. Chilling and thrilling.

[sealteem6]

Way better than the crap that passes for music today.

[thissitesucks74]

@sealteem6 No shit.

[lisad7788]

Amazing sound. So uplifting, and Lamm has a beautiful voice!

[hirowazunaga]

love this song! :)

[abdushnar]

Wow...this had to have been some time ago...Peter Cetera is still the bass player. His background vocals rock.

[libralady1010]

@abdushnar - that's Keith Howland on guitar, not Peter. Peter left in 1985 to pursue a solo career. I agree...maybe there's a bit of a resemblance to Peter when he was 20 years younger but that's Keith on Lead Guitar and Jason Scheff-who took Peter's place- is playing bass.

[IllestMcGahee2]

I love this song. We are living in a time that people really don't know what time it is! Its time to accept Jesus as their personal Savoir!

[cusanusnicolas]

@IllestMcGahee2 That is the correct time.

[apsy2]

a classic guys.thanks.

[schoettler1819]

THIS GROUP WILL LIVE ON IN EVERY HEART AND SOUL..HATS OFF TO ROBERT LAMM YOU ARE TRULY A GENIUS

[apsy2]

brings back memories of my time in sydnet,australia,1971,

[beatleman]

They said in an interview they have two fan groups. The original fans and the fans of the Power Ballads. Yeah the ballads were great, but I'm definitely a fan of the eary stuff... Robert Rocks.. def best part of the band!

[WrestlingHeretic]

There aren't many pop songs that were hits in blank verse. This, and "America" by Simon & Garfunkel. Can't think of many others.

[Inuyanma]

that blonde guy is kinda cute...

[libralady1010]

That's Keith Howland and he IS SO cute!

[Mediaman734]

Excellent version of a great song.  The first opening of the horns is a spine tinglier!

[hovhaness]

How this band is not in the Hall Of Fame

is a mystery??

They're 1st 3 Albums alone were testament to their greatness.

3 double albums in a row all fluff free.

With hits to boot.

Then went on to become legendary.

[styace]

magnificent!

[lsq68seb48]

Younger viewers probably don't realize this is an anti-Vietnam War song from 1969, when any able-bodied American male under the age of 27 was subject to the draft....

[libralady1010]

Lamm stated on The Chris Isaak Hour that he got the idea for this song walking down the street in Brooklyn as a teenager when he asked someone, ' excuse me: do you have the time? with the man saying " does anybody really know the time? " That had to be either 1959 or 1960 as he moved to Chicago when he was 15...way long before the Vietnam War.

[Garvarino]

There just not the same without Kath... still one of the greatest american rock bands EVER,, its just too bad kath couldnt stick around longer,,,,, dont play with guns people

[davidreload]

chicago's kick ass!!

[aerohollister5]

We did this song in jazz band in school. They sound a lot better than us!!!

[mybrainondrums]

thats wierd, the only reason im listening to this song is to study the drums cause my school's jazz bands trying to learn it too

[Blessed2day]

Saw them last night with EWF and it was so much fun! I love Chicago!!! It doesn't hurt that that's also my hometown!

[carnierox]

★★★★★ five stars!!!

[trenwww]

I always ripped on them saying they outlawed Chicago when dfisco died but their music is great.

[Entijer]

Amazing that many of these songs of Chicago were written and first performed like 35-40 years ago...and they still sound great today. Timeless! RL is genius and should get credit...

[jamcm91]

excelent!

[luke3jes]

One of my all-time favorite versions of this classic. From "Hard Rock Live" on VH-1.

Great mix and Robert Lamm is well, what can you say about such a great American pop sonwriting icon? Superb comes to mind.

[pips5678]

What a song;what a band!!

[PSLover722]

Chicago will be on A&E's Private Sessions this Sunday, April 12th at 9 am - I LOVE them!! I can't wait to watch!

[fletcherhills]

kelsey hell yeah..

Kathy B.

[lammfan123]

he's sexy as hell !! oh and the song's great too !

[denise5758]

Fantastic. what a joy to listen to a band that incorrperated all the elements of music. talent un real

[miketheshanmanmangan]

The Ultimate fusion of Rock and Jazz,Windy city seven were always great and Robert Lamm and Terry Kath sensational.Its always Chicago time...

[bossanova64]

Robert Lamm you´re amazing baby and so is the rest of the band,simply the band on the land

[abovefilms]

hey, does anybody know the name of that chicago song that had the lyrics "I KNOW I'LL LOVE YOU BETTER" right before the hook? it was an uptempo song and i can't for the life of me remember the title!!!!

[mrdonovan213]

are you thinking of "Peg" by Steely Dan?

[bata9955]

Ive loved this song ever since i was 3!!!!!

[jprietomicrosoft]

WE NEED A WATCH

[wsoxman]

Why are they not in the Rock & Roll HOF?

[mwoldin]

Thank you, Carlos, for providing this. Terrific performance of the song. You got good taste, dude.

And as for the amusing line below -- I wish I were old enough to appreciate Chicago -- all you gotta do is ... listen!!!

[sagsagleo]

Yes, Carlos I second that. [in providing this.] You DO have good, make that exquisite taste! Much appreciation coming from the Gulf Coast. The timeless voice of Robert Lamm and those fantastic horns. All you have to do is...LISTEN ! ;-) Thanks Again !

[Mottmon]

We are playing this in Jazz Band, :D

[jawdrummer128]

i wish we would have got to play this!!

[unwrittengurl1]

I love Chicago! :)

I wish I were old enough to truly appreciate them. ):

[mwoldin]

I was there when they first busted out, and yes it was an exciting sound. But it STILL SOUNDS FRESH AND TERRIFIC TO ME. No?

[unwrittengurl1]

I agree completely!

There terrific with out a doubt!

[libralady1010]

Just by listening here ;-)...and also to the C.T.A. Album that this song is on-that really was an album for the ages(!) if you don't have it get it. It's Fabuloso! So you ARE appreciating them...although there's nothing quite like seeing them live. That was and remains an annual event for us in my house. ;-)

[sagsagleo]

Could watch and listen to this song all day long. As a matter of fact, have a CD Boom Box placed outside the house-cleaning up after Hurricane Ike(!) to listen to CTA and Night and Day CD's in particular-has batteries, obviously and just makes the whole neighborhood feel better. GREAT SONG-WRITING! GREAT BAND! LOVE CHICAGO!!!

[chazverado]

Absolutely beautiful. The horns give me the chills.......I played this song to death when it came out..........Wish I could write songs like this.

[marvy1118]

what an amazing band, that even with most of the members gone and after having played this song thousands of times, the spirit of the song is still there and intact.

[17865329]

You get past Robert and the brass, we're

a little light on original members here, but

still a very good performance, the intro

is almost like it's off the original recording, and Lamm looks and sounds great,

hope he feels well too.

[uniquebsame]

Again! I meant the audio was HORRIBLE!I wanted to send it a dear friend of mine who knows nusic. I would have been embarrased to send him such shit!

[sagsagleo]

And Again: This was NOT sh*t! This was great. You can tell practice makes perfect and they're perfect. A terrific performance and terrific video.

[sagsagleo]

Still can't believe they played that wonderful intro spot on. The horns-Lee's amazing trumpet solo, Lamm's outstanding voice and keyboards.Aside from writing this HE IS STILL SINGING IT SO WELL SO MANY YEARS LATER. Takes me back to when I got my first driver's license. We all know THAT'S a happy time! Thanks so much for this post!

[mcamuzic4ever]

my band is playin this song nd its a really cool song

[salome7580]

Damn Robert Lamm...old enough to be my daddy but he is so hot.

[pankowlover64]

Same here. He's only 10 years younger than my mom would be today.....but he is definitely HOT! :)

[ezee360]

sounds really good

[Xlyer045]

This song is one of my many anthems.

[LolaTweedy]

Robert Lamm makes it all look so good....

[sagsagleo]

He really does doesn't he? Just having such a wonderful time while he's performing. You watch him and think,'yes: this is what music is all about. The way it should be. Some are blessed with the ability to literally give us intonations that are " music to the ears." And he's definitely blessed with that soulful quality-singing what's in his heart while we feel what's in ours and feel great as well.

[sexinthecityLV]

This looks kinda recent , like in the 2000's , no??

[sagsagleo]

Not sure(?)...but think it was 'Hard Rock' in 1997 or 1998 in New York. Could be mistaken @ the city but fairly certain either 1997 or 1998.

[sagsagleo]

This song brings back a funny memory-only time in my life I came THIS close(!)to being smacked by my parents. I was twenty minutes late w/"curfew" with my father asking 'do you know what time it is,?'and I responded with' does anybody really care,? He knew the lyrics because I played this song all the time. Mother was standing behind him..trying not to burst out laughing.I'll say it again: sounds just as great now as it did then.Wonderful performance!

[NCFLbabygirl]

This was when groups sounded as good live as an album. That's when there was TRUE TALENT!!  wow I miss those days

[TrentDaddy2006]

Great job Brothers Pankow, Parazaider, and Loughnane! You make Sinfonia proud!

OAS AAS LLS!

[Funkyme4]

wauw !!!! they're playing the original introooo

great!!!

[LolaTweedy]

Maestro Lamm is incrediable like always and very sexy...:)

[sagsagleo]

Yes. He WOULD be very sexy with both Mars and Venus in Scorpio! Libra Sun charm to spare and the Moon conjuncting Jupiter giving him wonderful looks as well as height. Jupiter rules Sagittarius and is known-not always but mostly-as being a 'tall sign.'With it in Virgo enough said! Oh: did I mention he looks and sounds great!? Very much in agreement with you there! Very refined as well.

[rm1jagfan]

My last year in high school, the marching band show was Chicago and we played this song. I had that trombone solo at the end.:-)

[spawnoftheshred]

Chicago's performance was never mediocre, even present day. That's incredible.

[akyu]

Trumpet solo in the beginning was amazing

[sagsagleo]

So LOVE this song!Was 15 when I first heard it on radio. Rushed out and bought the album.

Say it AGAIN: Lamm as well as Walt P., have aged very well.

[chazverado]

You have to love the brass.......wow.

[meccajeddahhk]

residy, I caught u after so many years by u tube. I was that person u did not tell me the time when I asked u do u really know what the time is it when I walking down the street in Madison one night. u did not tell me the time and caused me missed my precious moment trapped for many years I regret.......

[joytn5]

Good memories! high school days...

[opti2007]

i remember grooving on my drumset to this song growing up........wait.......i still do : )

[chazverado]

this is as good as it gets. What incredible music........

[dzoolk]

70s sucked ass,but love this song

[resldy]

This song brings back such good memories. I remember coming out of Madison Square Garden after watching Chicago's concert. Someone came up to me and asked for the time and I started singing this song and a group of people from the concert joined in. We never did tell that person the time. Chicago the Best.

[meccajeddahhk]

I caught u , I was that person to whom u did not tell the time when I was walking down the street along Madison one night.

Did u really know the time on that day ?

or U just did not know the time.

Ha Ha

[CTAWorshipper]

Chicago is art!

[fnlost]

absolutely love this tune

[torres1009]

BEST SONG EVER

[1hakon]

I'm really sorry to mention that Tris Imboden may be a professionel drummer but indeed he isn't a musician who knows how to swing on drums.

[jkmehoff]

i agree they need Danny back in a bad way

Tris just does not get it thet need a drummer with a strong Jazz background

[getchasumm]

Plus, Tris is completely BALD !!

[waterjet06]

great!!! this is what we call pure music, long live the 70'S!!!

[DanSarv]

This isn't "70's music".

This music LIVES T-O-D-A-Y.

Sounds So Very Fresh!!

God Bless Chicago!

[wahoogurl94]

Gives me chills...

[jkmehoff]

this song is close to 40 years old and i still think it would be a hit today it has flow the jazz chords

the tight vocals
