    Jesus Fucking Christ....Chicago At Tanglewood, Lennox, MA 1970......

    I've always said that Kath/Cetera/Seraphini could have gone out as a power trio without the horn section and rivaled Cream and Hendrix. Jimi even said Kath was better than him. I wouldn't go that far, but they were a damn good band in their original lineup.

    One of their very early gigs after they moved to L.A. in 1969 or so was opening for Jimi at the L.A. Forum April 29, 1969, the very night when Jimi's guitar told a guy in the audience "FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKER!".

    I am not kidding. Late in the set, some guy was hassling him, and it was the GUITAR that spoke in PLAIN ENGLISH.

    Would have loved to have been at that fucking show.

    Terry Kath was often referred to as the "white Ray Charles" because of his singing voice.

    And him and Cetera get funky on this one. Probably my favorite song from Chicago V since the day I stole the album from my brother.......

    those of you as old as me will remember when guitar world had it's 'end page' in the late 90's.

    i have a complete collection of guitar world from 1990-present. some older collectors issues also.

    apparently Terry's last words were 'don't worry, it's not loaded'.

    Holy crap, what a band and what a great loss. FORD is spot on, as essentially Chicago was a Band Of Gypsys/Cream/Grand Funk power trio that just so happened to have a horn section and some goofball occasionally hitting the piano. Their albums always included cool, Alice Cooper-like extras, like the iron on decal (Chicago VIII ) that every cool kid in middle/high school band quickly applied to a black sleeved baseball shirt.

    And you always sought out the Terry Kath tunes on each album, even though the entire band contributed great songs. I guess my favorite (aside from the first greatest hits collection) would be Chicago X, which began and ended with a brace of Kath songs.

    Sadly after his death, the band turned into some sort of quasi-Air Supply hit machine, with Pete Cetera turning into the personified voice of pussy-ism once held by Kenny Loggins, that was later taken up by Michael Bolton. Today, the "band" is made up of anonymous session players of dubious talent, cranking out horrible live versions of classics like "Questions 67 and 68" and "Dialogue (Part I & II)." Yet that string of albums between 1969 and 1976 make up some of the best ensemble recordings by a big band ever made.

    Ceteras voice is as recognizable and a monumental as the Beach Boys sound .

    There are bands that surpass what would be called, making music...they are the music itself. Chicago is that. ( don't harsh after the mid 80s they were still great).

    Chicago is the proof and the reason I have always said there is room for some Brass in R&R.

    I have always wished that VH would do a tune with heavy brass I know DLR would love that .

    I just wonder what the hard liners would say?

    I have never heard that Japanese version I almost like it better if that is possible Japanes language transferes well towards R&R.

    Seems like a random title for a song, until you consider it was written and recorded in 1969, so the "summer of love" of 1967 and the summer of anything BUT love (MLK/RFK/beatings at the Chicago convention, etc.) were obviously fresh in their minds. So the "questions" weren't random numbers at all, but rather summing up what was then recent history.... and then disguising it as some sort of love song (probably after smoking a lot of weed)

    I had no idea Chicago had released a Japanese version of this. Interesting.

    Actually, I had no idea either, until Cato mentioned it. So then of course I had to find it.

    I also found the live version with the scab bass player siniging, but that's not worth posting.

    not just Chicago.
    there used to be lots of Japanese versions in the early '70s. the Carpenters, Michel Polnareff etc...

    most of those were distributed by CBS Sony Japan.

    Run FORDs video to .10 just before the singing starts hit pause.

    Then run this video to .40 (HD Audio) hit pause.. then play them over each other..(hit play on both if you get close) it is much better than the sound on FORD recording and it's FUN!!

    Watch FORDS vid
