Walter Parazaider

They were on top of the rock world for about 5 years. Great band.
In 1973 they made a special for tv

Kathys ex husbands best friend did lighting at the Bayfront Center in St Pete for all types of bands and gave Kathys ex 2 tickets to see Chicago (she don't remember what year but before kids were born, mid 80's?) and says she couldn't stand the horns they gave her a bad headache and had to leave 😳 , she just just looked it up, Aug 15th 1984, she's remembering now she couldn't stand all the horns, I've never seen then but I don't think the horn section would've bothered me at all, she just said she seen Jethro Tull in 76 and had s really good time, completely different band though,,,Now she don't like the Flute 🙄😆 RIP Mr Parazaider

The horns were my favorite part, really makes the music. There were 8 people on stage including 2 drummers.

Flute? What about Jetro Tull?
 
Nashville's "3rd and Lindsley" has a fantastic Chicago cover band called "Make Me Smile".
The horn ending of "Beginnings" is the best they ever did IMHO


Here is the start of the horn solo :

I am a music snob, one note off and I can tell, Chicago did not disappoint and sounded like the original artists.

There are many bands who will never play their songs as recorded. The #1 offender to me is Darryl Hall of Hall & Oates.
I bought their blu-ray concert and played the 1st 30 minutes, took it out and stuck it in a drawer to never be seen again. It sucked !
He changed every song they ever did. Bob Dylan is famous for this too.

One thing I loved about Ronnie Van Zant, he made his band play their songs exactly as recorded. That's why people get into Freebird ; there's no ad-libbing.
And that's what's good about most cover bands; they know you come to hear the songs as they were made; not some improvised bs.

Do you think Hall changed the music on that BR disc so Oats couldn't sue him? or was Oats part of the disc? I think so famous acts after splitting up change up a little to keep from getting sued, maybe I'm wrong though?
