No doubt Dawayne gets a ton of influence from Eddie V Halen and David Gilmour. I appreciate all the work of Terry and Dawayne. I play guitar because of those 2 guys. Lets just say this, 70's live Chicago with Terry is some of the best music your gonna find, and 89-94 Chicago with Dawayne is a close second in my opinion.
When they brought Dawayne into the band, they were only thinking about the absence of Chris Pinnick (who played guitar) and Ken Cetera (who sang background), not whether or not he was a good match for the group. But, he's a fantastic and individual musician, in or out of Chicago.
As little as Dawayne may have fit in with Chicago, I still think the line-up with himself and Tris Imboden was the best post-Terry Kath line-up as far as live performance. And, This composition demonstrates Dawayne's skill as both a guitarist and a writer. He's unbelievable, and there's more to him (in my opinion) than some of his contemporaries.
Okay, Keith Howland is a wonderful guitarist, and I dig him. But, Dawayne Bailey strived to bring something different to Chicago. My hat's off.
@CircleCityEric Hat's off to your post. I first saw Dawayne with Chicago in 89' for the "Heart's In Trouble" tour and thought it was AMAZING!!! His blistering solo during "Stay The Night" had people going bonkers.
@Supermonkey22 I'm not surprised at all. I just wish I could've seen them live during the early 90's with Dawayne and Tris. From all the archive footage I've seen of those years, that was the best post-Kath lineup. And, I bet Dawayne's sound would've driven me to pick up a guitar, rather than Clapton's.
you have no idea what you're talkin about...terry was a great guitarist back then, things change...levels do so and besides they have different styles. There's no point in comparating them.
I wasnt...all I said was he would have looked at Bailey as an innovative and unique guitarist. Styles and different eras had nothing to do with what I was talking about. All I said was Terry would have liked Bailey as a guitarist. That's all...no reason to get onto my ass for nothing.
I love this version... I dig the version I record for Sketch with Dawayne, but his live versions are killer and I loved this one the most... also because Dawayne gave me that Purple Anderson... Every time I play that guitar I still try to emulate D Bone!

Would love to see DB and R. Lamm get together and make an album. Cannot imagine how incredible it could be with both players unrestrained.

Would Chicago hire a bad guitarist no!!! But the style and look of DB never fit, KH is much better and more of an adult when it comes to the public

I bet if Terry Kath would have been alive and left the band and saw that this was one of his replacements, he would be grinnin.
