This is one of my all-time favorite Chicago songs...I wish they could still do these type of songs live...RLamm is a genius!

Great songwriting, by Robert Lamm, and a vintage performance, by Jimmy Pankow & the entire band!

Thanks so much for posting.

@probrojeffro ----Interesting observation. Sounds like you were inside Pankows mind ! .

I agree with the guy who wished they still did these type of songs. If they went back into the studio and lived in a 'when we ruled the music world mindset' (they did from 72-79) ....I think they could do songs like this in a heartbeat. They are past the 'radio age' anyway. Their former drummer once said that "If they focused less on writing hit radio songs, they would have a huge Grateful Dead type of following"

CHICAGO- RETURN TO WHAT MADE YOU GREAT !!

saw them in the summer of '79 and they were amazing

1:27 industrial horns. Traffic. 2:20 Chaotic horns. Confusion. Doubt. Fear. Where are we going? Gone? 4:58 Sanity again. Heed the warning. 5:50 Peace. Reflection. Calm. Hope.

This is also one of my favorite Chicago classics, I enjoy how Jimmy would play random notes in this piece.
