They were just such a fantastic band. Perhaps it is the brass, I don't know, but I love their music.

So, I'm watching Chicago concert on PBS
- Thread starter Jimmy McGill
- Start date
Seen them in concert 5 times I think; last time it was front row. Band isn’t what it used to be (only 3 original members remain, and a few other key members have also moved on), but they’re one of my all-time favorites. To lose Terry Kath in the late 70s and still maintain such greatness is quite impressive.
Wasn’t it was ballads like this that some of the Chicago members, particularly the horns section, grew tired of. Then became one of the reasons Peter Cetera was pushed out of the group?
I really haven't read enough to know, but that sounds about right.
Band drama is stupid. A lot of possible great music has been lost due to egos
Kath was a magical. Another guitarist who we will always wonder “what if?” Died at the age of 31 due to an accidental gunshot to the head. Goddamn.
I remember being in elementary school going to Varsity Basketball games. During pre-game warm-ups the pep band played 25 or 6 to 4.
Turn the clock, my senior year playing basketball. Same band director for pep band, still playing it. The riff got me pumped to play. CSB

Yep, same here. The local high school band would play “25 or 6 to 4” and “The Horse” by Cliff Nobles during the basketball team pre-game warmups. In elementary school concert band we also played “25 or 6 to 4”.
My music tastes between football and basketball were completely different pre-grame. B'bball, I just wanted to get a vibe going. Football, I wanted to get angry.
