On with the 60's....

I'm afraid the Chicago of the 1980's and 1990's has blunted out the memory of how fantastic they were in their original lineup. This live clip from Chicago playing "I'm A Man" live on the German TV show "Beat Club" in 1969 is a reminder of how great they were...vocals traded from Terry Kath to Peter Cetera to Robert Lamm, not to mention Kath's furious guitar playing. The death of Kath in 1978 ended the golden era of the rocking Chicago.

The second clip is Chicago from a 1971 concert in Japan. The video quality isn't that great, but the sound is pretty nice. It certainly beats a claen version of "Stay the Night"!
