Thank you for posting these things. I was a baby when these guys started out, but I know so much about what they brought to the rock landscape. This was one of those songs I liked but wasn't a "hit" as (record) people sometimes predict. Seeing this and reading what people are writing about the times back then are phenomenal to read. Great band, great songwriters, great musicians they are.

@scoutee39 No, you're right and Cetera never said that. The original solo was very cool. Cetera said he was proud of the song but didn't appreciate Kath saying if anyone asked he would deny ever having played on it. I think it was "guy" ribbing Cetera took too much to heart.

@stardustlounge What he actually said was if anyone asked him he'd deny ever having played on it. They gave Cetera a hard time because they thought the song was weak. Peter did not say he was disappointed. He said he was proud of the song. Go back and read the booklet again. Did you just make this up?Terry tore it up on the solo on the origninal and maybe more so here on the live version.

It's ironic that Peter Cetera thought Terry Kath mailed it in with his guitar playing on this song. But, I find Kath's playing to be very good on this song personally. I guess that's why Peter Cetera is a successful musician and I'm just an arm-chair music critic.

We "blew off" our jr prom in 1970 to go see Chicago play at the old Chicago Stadium. Left all the girls high and dry. It was GREAT.

I think this is much better than the Japanese version on "Live In Japan."

Low Dow in my life now.
Peter said in the Group Portrait 4 CD booklet that Terry played guitar on the song in the studio version like he didn't give a shit how he played it. Peter was very disapointed how it sounded. That was Peter's first top 40 song that he had written. It peaked at #35 on the Billboard Rock Chart in 1971 off of Chicago III. I did hear the song on American Top 40 The 70's with Casey Kasem.

I think the studio version of this song has probably the greatest guitar solo ever recorded....and this live version ain't nothin' to sneeze at either.
