richwhite9 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I cheated and looked at the picture properties. They sure don't look like the guys that recorded Liberation in 68..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Song80s Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 probably my all-time favorite band... agreed Have you heard ' CTA " with Mark Bonilla ?

Mark Zeger Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I was nuts for Chicago back in high school. I knew every trumpet part to every one of their hits, the horn players equivalent of a guitarist knowing every Jimmy Page or Keith Richards riff. Owned every album through "Hot Streets" which was the beginning of the end of my interest, which vanished during the David Foster administration. Cnegrad: I thought it was only Danny Seraphine who doesn't speak to the remaining members (Lamm, Loughnane, Pankow, and Parazaider). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cnegrad: I thought it was only Danny Seraphine who doesn't speak to the remaining members (Lamm, Loughnane, Pankow, and Parazaider). Funny - I didn't pick up on these guys until Foster was involved. Since I didn't start listening to pop music until 1980 (when I was 9), I simply missed a bunch of music most other players have been not only listening to, but playing for years. In fact, Foster is one of my greatest musical idols. I do have Chicago's Greatest Hits, Vol I - and there are some awesome tunes on that. I'll have to do some more listening, I suppose... IIRC, Danny Seraphine lives up in the foothills of Colorado, no? ivorycj Main stuff: Yamaha CP88 | Korg Kronos 2 73 | Kurzweil Forte 7 | 1898 Steinway I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Zeger Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Don't get me wrong: David Foster is a brilliant musician and producer. It's just that I hated hearing the band I loved through "Chicago X" diving head first into the deep end of the '80s soft rock power ballad pool. I don't remember if that change in direction came from Peter Cetera and others inside the group or the label. Maybe I should go back and watch that episode of "Behind the Music". IMHO, "Make Me Smile" is one of the all time great horn charts in a rock song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonysounds Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Damn...I thought that Denver and the Mile High Orchestra's new promo shot. Hard to believe that this was Jimi's (Hendrix) favorite contemporary band looking at this promo shot! Four of those 6 guys are still together Walt Parazaider, Lee Loughnane, James Pankow, Robert Lamm. Serafine isn't out and of course Kath is gone. Hitting "Play" does NOT constitute live performance. -Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Ferris Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 IMHO, "Make Me Smile" is one of the all time great horn charts in a rock song. I certainly agree with that! It's been a REAL LONG TIME, but wasn't that song's original key B? If it was..I don't know how I remembered that. https://soundcloud.com/dave-ferris https://www.youtube.com/@daveferris2709 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffinator Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I lost interest in Chicago after their first record. Too syrupy for my taste. CTA was exceptional. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT156 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 The record label was one the that decided that Chicago should keep making "Power" slow tunes. Of course, the band wanted to do other things and there was a conflict between them. Record labels always had a nasty habit of categorizing bands and expecting them to put out one formula song after the other. Boring for bands, usually a money maker for the record label. Mike T.

Gismo Recording Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Somebody's missing from the picture... Can anybody name all the guys in the photo in order? The Chicago lineup on at least the first two albums had 7 members. So who's missing from this picture? Someone mentioned Lamm, Lognane, Pankow, and Parizader. And someone else said one of them was Terry Kath, so is it Seraphine or Cetera that's missing? Ken Denny Gismo Recording So Cliché Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the website (gotten from the photo properties) the band members were: Chicago 1967 James Pankow; Lee Loughnane; Walt Parazaider; Robert Lamm; Terry Kath; Danny Seraphine http://www.chicagotheband.com/photosgroup.htm No way they are in this order in the photo...
